You probably already know Bethany Ugarte from her incredibly inspiring and interactive Instagram (@lilsipper – her childhood nickname btw)! She’s one of the OG Instagrammers and bloggers who has built a hugely successful brand by exposing her vulnerabilities and sharing her health journey (that saw her heal from extreme IBS and gut issues) with the world. Sexy it isn’t, relatable and helpful it VERY much is!  Bethany replays her health trajectory, which at its worst had her severely underweight, unable to digest solid foods, riddled with parasites, and comatose. After seeking holistic guidance, she managed to retrain her gut muscles to process food and is now healthy, happy, and thriving inside and out. Throughout her journey, she shared her story and has now released, “Digest This,” a book to help all those struggling with their gut health. Like Jordan, her following are her family, and they both love to connect and help their tribe.  The girls go deep and also discuss Bethany’s explant surgery, blogging journey, building her career, and more!  Win a NuZest canister of protein and a shaker cup in this week’s exclusive giveaway with Bethany and NuZest.

Queen of the classic T, fiery entrepreneur, and clothing designer, Belen Salomon, joins Jordan (and Hudson) for a girly chat about fashion, branding, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle.  In a world of colorful chaos, Belen Salomon brought our wardrobes back to basics with a neutral line of casual apparel that makes you feel great and doesn’t cost the earth. She shares her entrepreneurial journey from stylist to designer, and the business decisions she made to ensure everything – from the manufacturing process and female-led team, to the colors and product names – were loyal to her authentic vision. It paid off! No influencer can get enough of her streamlined collection of classics.  Business aside, Jordan and Belen discuss Belen’s recent move from LA to Austin and how she’s settling into the slower pace of life in the South with her husband, rescue dog, and squirrel! She reveals the professional and personal transitions she went through during the lockdown and reflects on the lessons learned after three years of building a business from the ground up. Budding entrepreneurs, take note; there are so many juicy takeaways for you guys!

Fellow O.G. blogger, creative consultant and author, Jessica Murnane, catches up with Jordan about her new book, Know Your Endo, a groundbreaking educational resource for those who have endometriosis: a disorder so many women, worldwide, suffer from in silence, due to shame, lack of information, and misdiagnosis. As you'll find out in this episode, this condition is so much more than "painful periods." Jessica's book distills her own years of suffering from endo and searching for the management tools to feel normal again. She researched tirelessly to combine her own experience with science, giving you an informed, heartfelt, and hopeful five-week guide to help you get through to the other side. It's accessible, safe, and empowering to know you're not alone, your suffering is real, and it's not in your head!  After ten years in the wellness & health space, Jessica is now setting her sights on a future that is yet to be written, but will most certainly be fun, fresh, and light-hearted. Both, herself and Jordan, are fleshing out ideas for fiction & they also bond over a love of Bravo shows. ;) Jessica has built an incredible career, family life (her son is an expert on periods and endo, which is just too adorable), and a beautiful kaftan wardrobe, despite her chronic condition. So for any of you crippled in pain and feeling alone: you are not defined by your illness and have a friendo in Jessica Murnane.

Incredible founder, MaryRuth Ghiyam, of MaryRuth’s Organics, talks about motherhood, grief, brand building, finding joy and inspiration, and healing in this deep dive episode. We delve into the inspirational story behind the woman behind the holistic, mission-led company doing so much good to nourish the world with health and organic supplements.  MaryRuth articulates her life story with such grace, integrity, and there is so much wisdom about the light and dark many of us experience as humans. She reflects on her fertility struggles, heartbreaking miscarriages, family loss, and how she came to appreciate life, death, motherhood, and the nuanced energetics behind grief and growth. Everything in her life has come full circle, and she has birthed four beautiful children, a super-successful business, and most importantly, a purpose-led life and mindset which shines through her essence.  Like Jordan, MaryRuth’s brand and backstory are very much intertwined. Her Lyme diagnosis and her years spent trying out different healing mechanisms have shaped her, her business, and even her son’s health. She shares how she conceived her supplement business back in 2014 while working as a nutritional consultant in New York City. Back then, it was just her and her mom. Now, she has a team of 90 people!  Thanks to MaryRuth Organics for sponsoring this episode!

OG listeners of the podcast may remember Brandin Cohen, founder of Liquid IV, as the FIRST guest on TBB Podcast  five years ago, when both his and Jordan’s brands were in their infancy. Brandin is one of Jordan’s dearest friends and she is thrilled to have him back on the show today.  Half a decade later, Brandin joins the pod again, and so much has changed! Fresh from the acquisition of his company, he’s settling into his new beautiful home (where they recorded this episode). After years of hard work as Liquid IV’s CEO, he’s finally taking a hiatus to rediscover what lights him up. He gives everyone an insight into his new lifestyle, his other-worldly morning routine, spiritual practices, and the ambitious visions he has to CTW: Change The World.  Beyond business, Brandin is a kind of a kind, open-hearted spirit. His soul is literally on fire (a true Sagittarius!), and his energy and charisma bounce off the mic. Despite his incredible levels of success, he carves out so much time to help others and the planet. He shares so many juicy nuggets for business founders out there to follow your passions and realize your vision to make your mark.  Speaking of passion, Jordan’s latest soul-on-fire project, The Celestial Diet has arrived!

This episode with nutritionist, mindfulness practitioner and Jordan’s dear friend Lisa Hayim is filled with inspiring conversation, career inspiration, and nostalgia for the old days: strolling around NYC (8 years ago) when the seeds of the wellness industry were sprouting and the word “influencer” didn’t exist.  As a registered dietician, nutrition is at the core of Lisa’s brand and purpose in this world as a healer. Having gone through disordered eating and all the trending diets there were, she stuck a fork in the unhealthy diet dialogue, turning to mindful eating and meditation. Before intuitive eating became a trending hashtag, Lisa spent years combining nutrition and mindfulness with her clients – right down to meditating with them in her clinic! Her online courses have helped thousands of women find their version of food freedom.  Like Jordan, Lisa stepped into her online presence somewhat accidentally and poured her heart and soul on her brand from the get-go. More recently, she’s found herself outgrowing her public persona and took a much needed digital detox to reflect, refresh her output, and create healthy boundaries for her mental wellbeing. She’s shedding a skin, and it’s so beautiful to witness her spread her wings and step into the role of the teacher she was so born to be. We know this conversation will inspire you to do what sets your soul on fire! Thanks to Olipop for sponsoring this episode. Jordan has at least two of these delicious soda drinks every day.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear all about the friendship and beautiful brand that has flourished between Jordan and Siffat Haider, co-founder of Arrae: an alchemy supplement brand that beats fatigue, bloating, and anxiety. It’s become a lifeline for Jordan and her inner circle, who can’t get enough of their holistic and targeted products, Bloat and Calm. Seriously, digestive tablets have never felt – or looked – this good!  Siffat reveals the origin story of Arrae, which began with her concocting homemade formulas for herself and her husband when digestive issues arose. Something clicked when they both realized the gap in the market for high-quality, potent products that speak to and not at the final consumer, looking for a clear-cut, well-researched solution to their stomach ailments.  Any budding entrepreneurs and small-business owners out there will love learning about Siffat’s company vision and how she aligned with the right influencers, who loved their product as a consumer-first, to help get their brand off the ground. Obstacles come up in every business venture. You’ll hear how Siffat has transformed hurdles into learning experiences and learned about the importance of adapting along the way. She built this brand with her husband (wait until you hear the backstory behind the name) and shares how their relationship has grown even stronger since they started working together.  Lastly, we wrap up with a sprinkle of astrology and Human Design and connect her signs and type to her relentless entrepreneurial spirit.  Thanks to Arrae for sponsoring this episode! Jordan cannot wait for you to try this simple yet potent formula of holistic products designed to target digestion. Get ready to fall in love with food again. These capsules are great for your body, and look pleasing on your side cabinet.

Today Jordan interviews her dear friend and founder of the Mimi Method — Mimi Bouchard. In this conversation they go deep and Mimi reveals how she walked through the shadows of financial hardship, low self-worth, reality TV fame pitfalls, and binge eating to manifest a new life, mindset, and body that truly aligns with her purpose.  Her astounding career trajectory, from hustling multiple jobs in London and becoming a reality TV star to redirecting her brand in a completely different direction, is a true testament to the phrase, “putting your mind to it.” Mimi has manifested her dream job, a book deal, and a better relationship with her body, all thanks to rehab power of the MIND.  And yes, she and Jordan are both the biggest fans of Joe Dispenza and credit much of their growth to his pheromonal meditations and retreat, which literally shape-shifted Mimi’s face! We hope you love this episode and it inspires you as much as it has inspired Jordan! This one is for the entrepreneurs, brand builders, meditators, and those looking to make huge shifts and waves in their lives.  Thanks to Sakara Life for sponsoring this episode.
