Through candid stories and diverse perspectives, we examine our relationship with money, confront the fear of "never enough," and explore how aligning your values with your goals creates a truly meaningful life. Tune in and let's navigate the journey together.

    Finding Alignment in a Season of Subtraction with Julia Gentry

    In Today's Episode... Jordan welcomes back repeat guest Julia Gentry for a conversation about the concept of alignment—moving past surface-level habits to examine what it means to be truly aligned in life, vision, and finances. They discuss the uncomfortable reality of "subtraction," why God has to strip away old identities, hustle mentalities, and misaligned structures before true growth can happen, and how to shift away from performance-driven motives. The discussion also covers navigating emotional and spiritual pressure, stepping into what Julia calls the "oil season" of pressing and character-building, trading transactional expectations for open hands, and trusting a larger framework when personal blueprints fall apart.

    When Losing Your Identity Becomes Your Greatest Awakening with Jessica Diers

    In Today's Episode... What happens when your entire financial reality and business identity disappear overnight? Host Jordan sits down with close friend and multi-million dollar company leader Jessica Diers. Jessica takes us back to the traumatic onset of the COVID-19 pandemic , which completely wiped out her live events and trade show business for nearly two years. She opens up about her raw journey through self-will, rock bottoms, four years of early sobriety, and the eventual spiritual expansion that allowed her to rebuild a radically more fruitful company by letting go of the outcomes.   Connect with Jess Instagram LinkedIn Website Threads     More About Jessica Diers   Jessica Diers is the owner and CEO of Diers Exhibits , a national experiential marketing and custom trade show design agency. While she leads a multi-million dollar business today, Jess actually built her career from the ground up within the family company her father founded in 1996. After returning from a transformative period studying abroad in Australia, she initially joined her dad's business to help write content, but quickly realized she had a major knack for sales. In the early days, she balanced working 4:00 AM shifts as a Starbucks barista with spending her afternoons grinding through cold calls to secure her very first clients.   Over the next decade, Jess leaned into her love for communication and growth, eventually spearheading a complete corporate rebrand and buying the company out to take over full ownership. Today, she focuses on scaling Diers Exhibits into a 100% woman-owned national industry leader, crafting immersive brand stories for large-scale national events. Outside of running the agency, Jess is deeply passionate about mentoring other entrepreneurs, championing transparent leadership, and helping professionals navigate the grueling realities of modern hustle culture.   Reminder: Subscribe, Rate & Review this podcast!   Whatever platform you are listening on, make sure to follow or subscribe & sign up for notifications for when weekly episodes drop every week!

    From New Age Psychosis to True Peace with Grace Jones

    In Today's Episode... What happens when the things you use to heal actually break you? Jordan sits down with her friend Grace Jones , co-founder of Heavenly Dew Naturals, to talk about the hidden traps of the New Age world. Grace opens up about leaving a judgmental church background for the promises of yoga, meditation, and manifestation. But when severe anxiety hit her, her search for a cure took a dangerous turn—leading to intense breathwork training in India and a severe psychological break that left her hospitalized in Vietnam. Grace shares how she survived that crisis, healed her old church hurt, and finally found mental freedom through a deliverance prayer session. Jordan and Grace talk about the exhaustion of trying to save yourself, how radical forgiveness physically heals the body, and how they both traded the constant anxiety of manifestation for the real peace of resting in Jesus.   Connect with Grace Website Instagram   More About Grace Jones   Grace is the founder of Heavenly Dew Naturals , a clean skincare brand born out of a desire for simplicity, trust, and real skin restoration. Before launching her company, Grace spent years navigating high-stress environments, including working in private protection as a bodyguard. That intense, demanding career path initially led her to seek out wellness and meditation simply as a way to decompress and manage physical stress.   After stepping away from both the corporate protection world and her subsequent journey through unregulated spiritual circles, Grace completely pivoted her life. Frustrated by a market flooded with overly complicated skincare products containing long, unpronounceable chemical lists, she began whipping up natural formulations directly in her own kitchen.    Today, Grace runs Heavenly Dew Naturals alongside her husband, focusing on small-batch, faith-inspired products designed to help women nourish and heal their skin without fear or overwhelm. Her mission is rooted in making life simpler, stepping away from constant striving, and building a business grounded in authentic, transparent care.   Reminder: Subscribe, Rate & Review this podcast!   Whatever platform you are listening on, make sure to follow or subscribe & sign up for notifications for when weekly episodes drop every week!

    Trading the Armor for Authentic Connection with Christine Hernandez

    In Today's Episode... What does it look like to grow alongside someone who truly knows your heart? This week, Jordan is joined by one of her closest friends, Christine Hernandez, to look back on a beautiful 10-year journey of business, friendship, and spiritual growth. Together, Jordan and Christine share a raw, reflective look at who they were in their mid-twenties—and how much has changed since. They open up about the exhaustion of the "high-achiever" lifestyle, recalling the days when they both hid behind emotional walls, white-knuckled their way through life, and viewed vulnerability as a weakness. This conversation is a beautiful reminder of what happens when we stop performing, let our guards down, and allow ourselves to be fully seen by the people who love us most.   Connect with Christine Instagram LinkedIn Facebook Impact Initiative Website   More about Christine Hernandez. Christine Hernandez is a leader, guide, and transformer of spaces who has spent the last decade moving away from the pressure of perfection and toward the freedom of authentic connection. In her mid-twenties, Christine lived life at a fast, high-achieving pace. To the outside world, she was a fiercely independent woman who had everything completely under control. But beneath that polished exterior was a "stone doll" armor—a protective layer built to keep the world at a safe distance and avoid the vulnerability of emotional expression. Her trajectory changed entirely when she committed to deep inner work and trained under mentor Nora, beginning a profound journey of self-discovery.   Through years of dedication and inner reflection, Christine chose the brave path of softening. She traded the constant pressure of performance for genuine presence and deep community. Today, she is a deeply empathetic soul, a devoted mother navigating the beautiful milestones of raising teenagers, and a loyal friend who spends every week holding intentional space for others. Christine's story is a powerful testament to the fact that our greatest strength doesn't come from keeping people out, but from having the courage to let them in.   Reminder: Subscribe, Rate & Review this podcast!   Whatever platform you are listening on, make sure to follow or subscribe & sign up for notifications for when weekly episodes drop every week!

    Unlearning the Expected Path and Finding your True Identity with Bobby Capobianco

    In Today's Episode... In this premiere episode of the Wealth and Wisdom series, host Jordan sits down with former Division I basketball standout Bobby Capobianco for an unfiltered conversation about redefining success. Moving far beyond traditional definitions of wealth, net worth, and societal expectations, Bobby opens up about the powerful lessons learned through his journey from the basketball court, navigating life's unexpected transitions, and finding true fulfillment in the present moment.   Connect with Bobby Instagram LinkedIn Website   About Bobby Capobianco Bobby Capobianco is a former Division I collegiate basketball player (Indiana University and Valparaiso), a business professional, a health and wellness entrepreneur, and a devoted husband and father. Standing 6 ft 10 in, Bobby spent his youth and early twenties heavily defined by his athletic prowess. However, beneath the surface of the "basketball player" box, he harbored a deep curiosity for art, design, space theories, and action sports. After college, Bobby made the countercultural decision to turn down professional sports overseas to stay home and marry his wife—prioritizing faith, family, and fun above all else. In his twenties, he experienced a massive lifestyle shift, intentionally stepping away from his athletic identity and gaining 100 pounds before radically transforming his health through endurance sports, marathons, and triathlons. Today, Bobby brings a refreshing, radically honest perspective to personal development, ego death, agency, and the profound practice of deep gratitude.   Reminder: Subscribe, Rate & Review this podcast!   Whatever platform you are listening on, make sure to follow or subscribe & sign up for notifications for when weekly episodes drop every week!
