Have you ever heard the phrase "don't let your emotions get the best of you"? While it may feel more comfortable to try and stuff our feelings away and push through, what would it look like to actually feel our emotions and find healing?

But feelings aren't something to fix. God designed us with emotions and as we discover how to name and navigate those emotions, we’ll learn how they can draw us closer to God.

If you went to a cardiologist and complained of chest pain, you likely wouldn't be satisfied if they gave you a painkiller and sent you on your way. The doctor would be treating the symptom, but not addressing the underlying disease causing it.
In the same way, infertility is a symptom that there is an underlying issue, or issues, that need to be explored.
So what does it look like to take a disease-based approach to infertility? What kinds of tests and treatments can be done to get to the bottom of infertility issues?
In this episode, Jordan talks with Dr. Christopher Stroud, an OBGYN who uses NaProTechnology to address infertility issues. Together, they discuss what it looks like to take a root cause approach to infertility.

For today's episode, we're bringing back a fan favorite! One of our most popular episodes from 2022, this episode explores the topic of metabolic health.
With a society that’s obsessed with diet culture, even “healing” diets like Whole 30, Paleo, and Keto, we often love having easy-to-follow lists that tell us exactly what to eat and not eat in order to be healthy.
But this has led to nutrition becoming overly black and white, with people often demonizing certain foods. Unfortunately, this way of thinking can lead to restrictive dieting, food fear, and even malnutrition and worsening health conditions.
So how do we nourish and heal our bodies without succumbing to restriction and fear? How can we enjoy food freedom while also fueling our body with the appropriate nutrients that will help us thrive?
That’s what Jordan explores in this episode with Kori Meloy and Fallon Danae as they discuss what it really looks like to nourish your body, restore your metabolism, and experience food freedom.
Tune in to this powerful episode to learn about:
Kori and Fallon’s own healing journey through endometriosis, Hashimoto’s, and restrictive eatingThe importance of nourishing your body to support your metabolismWhat it looks like to fuel your body with biologically available and restorative foodsThe harm of diet culture and following popular dietsHow many calories we really need and why most women aren’t getting enoughFor more information, visit rewildculture.com and fallonstable.com.

In a world with beautiful photos and Instagram posts, social media can often romanticize pregnancy and birth and create high expectations for what your experience will or *should* be like.
And while birth is a beautiful and miraculous thing, it can also be intense, uncertain, and scary - despite even our best efforts to prepare, educate, and advocate.
Whether your birth went exactly as you dreamed it would, or your birth plans were thrown out the window, every birth is a miracle and your birth story holds its own unique beauty.
In this episode, Jordan shares her story of giving birth to her son, Shepherd, and talks about how she navigated a birth experience that didn't align with what she had originally imagined, but ultimately brought her the best blessing.
After walking through multiple pregnancy losses, and through the fear of this pregnancy being yet another loss, God was faithful and gave not only a healthy baby but TWO babies. 🌈🌈Tune in to this episode to hear:

When a child is diagnosed with an oral restriction, such as a tongue tie, there is often a lot of pressure to get a frenectomy done as soon as possible.
Parents are told that if they don't do a frenectomy, their child will have issues down the road with breastfeeding, solids, sleep apnea, etc.
But many parents aren't given the time or resources to explore other options of care.
So the question is: what can be done holistically to help address oral restrictions and breastfeeding problems - whether it's instead of doing a frenectomy, or in addition to doing one?This episode explores the answer to that question as Jordan speaks with Midline Revolution - a group that combines chiropractic care, myofascial cranial therapy, and lactation consultation to help mothers and babies navigate issues like oral restrictions and breastfeeding in the first year of life.
Together, they explore how to holistically treat tongue and lip ties.

It's no secret that women in our society are on the go all the time - whether it’s because we’re working, transporting the kids to countless activities, taking care of the house, or doing countless other activities on our calendar.
The pressure to be productive has caused us to pursue hamster wheel lifestyles with little rest.
On top of it all, we're often told that if we want the best health or fitness, we should cut calories, do HIIT workouts, and try intermittent fasting (spoiler alert: these practices are based on research done on men, not women, and can be harmful to women's hormonal health).
But how does busyness and fitness affect our hormonal health? And how do our hormones change our mental health?
In this episode, Jordan talks with hormone expert Alisa Vitti about the connection between our cycles, hormones, nutrition, fitness, and mental health.

Does your work matter for eternity?
Many people don’t believe so, or they think that the only time their work has eternal significance is when they are actively evangelizing.
But that’s not what the Bible says.
While sharing the Gospel is an essential part of being a Christian, the Great Commission and call to evangelize is not the only commission in the Bible.
And when we study the First Commission in the Bible, we begin to see just how valuable every part of our work is, whether it’s changing diapers as a stay-at-home mom, roasting coffee as a barista, or making financial decisions as an entrepreneur.
In this episode, Jordan talks with the author of “The Sacredness of Secular Work”, Jordan Raynor. Together they explore how our daily jobs have intrinsic and eternal value.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The difference between the instrumental and intrinsic value of our workThe problems that arise when the Church makes the Great Commission the only commissionWhat other commission(s) the Bible givesWhat the unabridged Gospel teaches us about the purpose we have in our workWhy you don't have to work in ministry or a "Christian business" to have purposeThe problem with the half-truth that “Earth is our temporary home” and how this affects how we view our workWant to dig deeper into this topic?

Did you know that cleaning products are not required to share all the ingredients they use on their labels? They only need to share the active ingredient. And of the 80,000 potential chemicals that could be used in a product, only 1% have actually been tested for safety.

That’s why reading and understanding labels can be an important skill to learn.
