Many of us want to be as healthy as we can to support our bodies to the best of our abilities - and one of the biggest ways we do that is by trying to choose healthier foods.But sometimes even good intentions can lead to poor outcomes.​​When trying to eat healthier, we may start to cut out whole food groups that we think are unhealthy.​And maybe in the pursuit of health, we even start limiting calories or restricting foods further, worrying that food intolerances may be affecting us.​Before we know it, our diet has become severely restricted. And with so much restriction, we may even start to develop a negative relationship with food, feeling stressed about our food choices and not being able to enjoy eating out.The question becomes: at what point does eating healthy do more harm than good? And how do we find the balance between choosing healthy options that nourish our body without being stressed or overly restrictive?In this episode, Jordan talks with clinical nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Lauryn Lax about when eating healthy actually causes harm.Tune in to learn:Why following “healthy” diets or restricting foods in the name of health can lead to poor outcomesWhat orthorexia is and how to recognize itThe importance of having food freedom and balanceWhat it looks like to eat healthy without being too restrictiveHow dieting and overexercise affect our gut microbiome and hormonesTips for how to address unhealthy mindsets around food or your bodyWant to dig deeper?

Most of us want to (and try to) avoid pain at all costs - and that includes reliving pain we experienced in the past.Yes, we want to find healing, but as great as that sounds, the reality is that the journey to get there is not always easy.

If you haven’t heard, we recently welcomed our son into our family, who came into our lives in the most divine way. I’ve been slow to share this news because over the last few years, I’ve really leaned into the beauty of maintaining privacy and boundaries with sacred things like this. So we’ve been taking time for just our family, soaking in these special moments, before inviting the whole world in. But I think it’s time to share this story and we wanted to do so in a podcast episode to give it its proper space. A simple Instagram caption just wouldn’t do it justice. A little backstory: back when we were engaged and had no idea what our family-building journey would look like, we agreed that we wanted to adopt one day. Adoption was always part of our family’s “plan,” we just didn’t know the timing. That said, adoption has never been a "Plan B" or a backup plan. It’s always been something we’ve felt called to — even before we began to struggle with recurrent pregnancy loss. Then through our involvement with Safe Families, as well as through loss, we felt the Lord nudging us to open our hands and hearts to adoption early in our family-building journey. We felt God was asking us to open all the doors to building a family and to trust Him with the order of how it would all play out.So, in January 2022, we started the adoption process and in January 2023, we were blessed to bring home our son, Noah.  We feel it’s important to share this story because it seems like all you ever hear is horror stories about adoption, but we truly had the most incredible experience from start to finish - and it’s important for those positive stories to be shared, too.So tune in to this episode to learn: Why we chose to pursue adoption early in our family-building journeyMore about the adoption processThe birth experience from our perspectiveOur answers to commonly asked questionsThe unexpected lessons God taught us along the wayThank you for celebrating this miracle with us. Every life is a miracle but there’s something unique and special and gospel-centered about the miracle of adoption… and we are humbled and honored that God would invite us into parenthood in this most redemptive and beautiful way. xo,Jordan and Matt 

How many times have you heard phrases like "you'll be fine," "don't cry," "everything happens for a reason," or "it could be worse"?When working through difficult emotions or challenging circumstances like loss, breakups, illness, or family issues, it can be frustrating when we are urged to be more positive.The truth is that even amid life’s challenges, we’re often pressured into being positive. We’re told to “look on the bright side” and be happy. And sometimes we ourselves tend to be overly positive because we just want to fix a friend’s hurt and help them feel better.While optimism is important and needed, there’s also something to be said for when positivity becomes toxic and prevents us from working through difficult emotions.But how can you recognize the difference between toxic positivity and optimism? And how can you find other ways to work through negative emotions?In this episode, Jordan talks with therapist and author Whitney Goodman about what toxic positivity looks like and how we can leave space for our real feelings.Grab your headphones and tune in to this episode to learn:What toxic positivity is and what it’s notWhy silencing negativity and difficult emotions doesn’t always workHow to recognize if our positivity is toxicWays to support someone going through a hard timeHow to complain and vent effectively / in a healthy wayWays to help your child regulate their emotions instead of resorting to toxic positivityReady to dig deeper?

Let’s be honest. Setting boundaries is no easy task. In fact, for many people, the thought of having to set a boundary can feel downright scary. What if the other person doesn’t react well or refuses to follow the boundary you’ve set?As Christians, it can be even more challenging to set boundaries because we worry that we are unloving or selfish, or that our boundaries will get in the way of our ability to serve others.But never setting boundaries can easily lead to chaos, burnout, and unhealthy relationships.So how can we love others well while still establishing important (and needed) boundaries in our relationships?In this episode, Jordan talks with the head of Proverbs 31 Ministries and bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst about everything you need to know to set healthy boundaries as a Christian.Tune in to learn:What healthy boundaries actually look like and when to use boundariesWhy it’s unkind to NOT have boundariesThe importance of limiting how much “emotional access” we grant to people How to know when boundaries are needed and when they may hinder an opportunity to minister to someoneWhat to do when someone has a bad reaction to your boundariesHow to know when it’s time to say goodbye to an unhealthy relationshipWant to dig deeper?

Have you ever had to decide to let go of a dream or a good thing?Maybe you thought the relationship you’re in would lead to marriage or you thought the job you took was your dream job.Maybe the city you moved to isn’t a fit anymore, the home you thought you would grow old in is becoming too much work, or your schedule has become overwhelming and you can’t do it all.When we have things in our life that didn’t turn out how we thought they would, or when we take on too much at once, it often leads us to a point where we have to make a decision - and maybe even let go of something that seemed like a good thing.This can often be one of the hardest decisions to make because letting go feels a lot like giving up and you start to wonder if this makes you a quitter (psst… it doesn’t).In this episode, Jordan talks all about how to know when to let go of a good thing.

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.Links from the episode:Westin A.

Would you quit your job to run 30 Marathons, in 30 countries, before your 30th birthday all with the goal of raising money for organizations committed to empowering women? Sounds like a pretty BIG step outside a comfort zone, huh? Look, if 2020 has taught us ANYTHING, it's that we need to be willing to get outside of our comfort zone, learn, listen, and take steps to impact the world outside of our own personal bubble. In this episode, Jordan talks with Liz Warner who did JUST that. Liz combined her passions of change-making and adventure and launched Run to Reach, an 18-month marathon fundraising campaign with the goal of running 30 marathons in 30 different countries before turning 30 in June of 2020 - aiming to raise $100,000 to support local, women-empowerment organizations in each country visited. She ventured to far-reaching destinations, like through the central highlands of Afghanistan, across turquoise waters in Yemen, into the depths of small villages in Somalia, and up the rolling foothills of Mt. Everest. Beyond the highlighted mission, her Run to Reach journey also tells the story of a woman who left a comfortable, yet unfulfilling job to embark on an adventure that would exhaust every ounce of her potential. Through her stories, she's been intentional to not only give back but also use social media as a tool to expose people to cultures they may otherwise not be exposed to (Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.). Tune in to learn how we can take first steps outside our comfort zone for the purpose of having a greater impact, and what that may look like in your life.

Money woes can slow us down. If you don’t have clarity or plan when it comes to your finances, it’s common to feel stressed and overwhelmed. The uncertainty coupled with the common, underlying need to “keep up with the Jones’” only makes matters worse. But sometimes hearing how other people just like us have navigated getting out of debt and found financial freedom is the kick in the pants we need to pave our own way to total financial freedom. On this episode of SHE, we’re diving into this with Debt-Free Living Enthusiast, Jessi Fearon, and tackling big important questions like: What are some mindsets to adopt to help us stick to a plan to getting out of debt? What are some practical steps we can take when we’re just getting started on our own journey to financial freedom? When growing a family and paying off debt simultaneously, what is the hardest sacrifice and how can we get through it? How can living debt-free change our spending habits long term? Plus, Jessi serves up some great advice for those wanting to take ownership of their finances and attain a debt-free life but struggle with commitment. Sister, there is no better time to take control of your finances than right now. When you know your numbers and have a plan to complete financial freedom, you won’t just feel confident – you’ll be empowered to make better decisions for your future, too.

It’s absolutely heartbreaking to see not only the number of cases and those affected by the illness but also the vast repercussions it has caused beyond the virus itself. So, that’s what we’re tackling in this episode. We’re going to dive into facing disappointments... then we’re going to rally to find the courage, confidence, and class it takes to move forward when plans royally fall apart.

EVERY EXPERT WAS ONCE A BEGINNER. Let that sink in. No, really, let it sink in until you believe it. It is so essential to understand this one thing: NO ONE started out knowing what they were doing. No one who's built something successful began with a clue of what it would turn into. And no successful person has avoided embarrassing themselves or failure. But the one key to success they all have in common? They STARTED. They started small. They rolled up their sleeves and got scrappy. They were willing to get uncomfortable and put themselves out there. THIS willingness (not skill or fancy connections) is the one differentiating factor between those who reach their dreams and those who don't. Tune into this episode to learn keys to starting before you're ready from the one and only Jess Ekstrom, founder of Headbands of Hope, and author of Chasing the Bright Side. Headbands of Hope is a brand Jess started in college that has grown into a multi-million dollar company in just 7 years. In this conversation, Jess shared her biggest small business mistakes (like wiring $10,000 to a company she never heard back from) and scrappy steps she took to make her dream happen before she had the finances (like convincing Jimmy Johns to sponsor a product photo shoot), and so many more moments that will put you at ease, make you laugh, and give you the courage to stop worrying and just start where you are!

You may have heard the common phrase that says, "Done is better than perfect."  In many ways, it holds a lot of truth. When there's something on our hearts or minds to start or do, it is generally better to take action rather than waiting around until everything is perfect to get started. If we try to wait until everything is "perfect," we risk never actually taking action. So, while the intent behind this phrase is good, and is generally true, in today's episode, Jordan challenges us to think about this a little bit more critically when it comes to our craft and our work. Listen in as she shares how a not-so-great experience with the dentist challenged her to consider why applying the "done is better than perfect" mantra to all aspects of our work may not be wise, and a few key lessons we can all learn about the importance of diligence and excellence in our work, rather than rushed or careless action with the focus on simply getting things done.  Get your copy of Own Your Everyday Say hi on social!

Does the fear of ‘no’ keep you from creating something new? Are you afraid you may waste time pursuing the wrong things if you really go for it?
