The Balanced Blonde // Soul On Fire

Britt Deanda & Tara Schulenberg are back on after their first appearance on the podcast four years ago. Jordan just happened to be calling in a Kundalini guide to learn more about the ancient practice, and the universe sent her this incredible light-filled duo. Now they have been dear friends for many years.  Since their first show, they’ve birthed so many spiritual gifts for the community. From Elevate the Globe, a wellness hub that helps activate your emotional body and tap into higher consciousness through Kundalini and spirituality. To their recently published book, “Good Morning Intentions,” which they conceived in the most magical and mystical of ways. They discuss their rituals in great depth and unpack the energetics behind each of their teachings. Their powerful ability to break down an ancient practice into digestible chunks without sacrificing the authenticity of the original teachings (The Kundalini Research Institute approves of their book) is so inspiring.  This episode is a true voyage into the vortex! They discuss visions, auras, colors, energies and reveal how their psychic abilities have developed during their spiritual awakening. They also chat about the 5th dimension and personal experiences of darkness on the physical plane to reach a place of hope, higher healing, and light!  Most importantly, this episode is an invitation to have fun with spirituality, surrender to Source and be playful wherever you can! After all, it’s not about the destination; it’s about the journey. Or, as Tara so eloquently puts it, “the act of surrendering is not giving up, but allowing the energy to flow through you so that you can experience something beyond what you were ever able to conjure up or imagine.” Thanks to Sakara Life for sponsoring this episode.

Our Soul on Fire fam is so special to me, and I love all of the questions you sent in for this episode! I answer those along with going into a conversation with my future self, and reaching you how to do the same. This solo episode is a great opportunity to connect with you guys & give an update and perspective on all the monumental shifts that have been happening in my life. Because… it’s been a lot’  Where to begin!? I go on a full-on heart-opening spree of all things spiritual. I’ve been communicating a lot with the future 60-year old ancient medicine woman that burns bright inside of me. I channel her today while reflecting on the “stretchiness” of time and visualize the incredible life journey waiting for me. Right now, I’m focusing on unleashing my creative voice and working on my energetic boundaries to allow my light to shine through in the best possible way. I talk about writing a fiction novel, my upcoming meditation program, and developments on the upcoming Celestial Diet. Plus, I go all in on your questions, covering just about everything in this universe and beyond: from spirit babies and skincare, to manifesting happiness and a house! There’s a definite feeling of change in the air, and energy protection and boundaries are a big focus for the future. Life throws the craziest curveballs, messages, and gifts to us all. While many things on the horizon are uncertain, rest assured that I am here walking (and dancing) alongside all of you. Thanks to Beekeeper’s Naturals for sponsoring this episode.

Kelsey Patel is a true inspiration for joy, friendship, love and living life on her terms. Not only is she a world-renowned Reiki master, motivational speaker, and author, she’s also one of Jordan’s dearest friends and even officiated her wedding. She recently had her first book come out talking about the topic of overcoming burnout.  Joy is everything to Kelsey. She sparks so much light in the wellness community and has served so many people with her spiritual gifts. Last year was a monumental year for her, personally and professionally. She released her best-selling book “Burning Bright,” launched an incredible app, “Pure Joy” and opened a hotel, Miracle Manor, in Palm Springs.  Yet even the brightest, shiniest people can have rough days. This year has been heavy in so many respects, and it’s a relief to honor those low-vibration moments alongside external “highs.” Kelsey’s honest conversation about her most recent burnout is a breath of fresh air for anyone who constantly feels overwhelmed by the pressure to be productive. The urge to be self-critical, draw comparisons, and feel triggered on social media is an issue so many of you will relate to.  Kelsey also shares how she explores creative projects privately with spirit before manifesting them to the public. Plus, the effortless synergy she felt birthing her first book about burnout and breakthrough during a pandemic when people needed it most.  Kelsey’s unique resources (her book was such a gift during Jordan’s water fast) and words are open invitations to examine oneself, ask conscious questions, and always find YOUR sense of joy! Thanks to Cured Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. This is the only CBD brand Jordan uses to heal her joint pain and eliminate anxiety and stress.

FAN FAVORITE ALERT! Jordan’s parents Jane & Byron Younger are back on the show! In this deep and intimate chat, Jane & Byron take a walk down memory lane and talk all about what it was like raising Jordan. They open up about their unique parenting styles, the spiritual lifestyle hacks they’ve adopted from their adventurous daughter, and how it’s been watching her evolve into the creative entrepreneur and “cosmic” being (Byron’s actual words!) she is today.  Like so many last year, their lives were touched by Covid and they both had a difficult recovery journey. They discuss how they found the physical and mental strength to heal, and how the experience shifted their perspective on alternative medicine and chronic illness.  They’re now both seeing Jordan’s Chinese medicine doctor, eating plant-based, drinking celery juice, and watching Ayahuasca documentaries. ;) It just goes to show that we’re constantly evolving and becoming bigger and versions of ourselves in all stages of life. We hope this inspires others to have these deep conversations with their parents and that people are open to evolving at any age.  Thanks to everyone for sending positive energy while they were healing. They’ve both been such influential guides and mirrors to Jordan’s life, so it’s incredible to share a snapshot of their family with Jordan’s other family – all of you!  Thanks to Pure Synergy for sponsoring this episode.

Dr. Will Cole's tailored, integrative approach to functional medicine has helped thousands worldwide find the root causes of chronic disease and autoimmune issues. As Jordan continues to heal & gets ready to unleash her long-anticipated Celestial Diet to the world, it's been hugely expansive to have experts on the podcast sharing their insights into holistic food, health, and happiness.  Dr. Will is a proponent of finding homeostasis in the body to reset our fast-and-furious relationship with food and educate ourselves on how we interact with eating and our bodies.  This episode dissects the scientific benefits of INTUITIVE intermittent fasting in great detail, separating the facts from the fad and reframing any triggering aspects that could have scared you away from leaning into what is a very natural and inclusive lifestyle. The great news is that you can integrate so many food modalities into the fasting framework (including plant-based), enjoy your coffee with oat milk (like Jordan does!), and still reap the rewards.  So many people suffering from chronic illness turn to Dr. Cole for guidance. His second book, “The Inflammation Spectrum,” was transformative for Jordan’s battle with inflammation, and he has so many tools listeners can start implementing right away. It’s incredible to hear that, even after all this success, multiple book deals, and media presence, he still packs his day with consultations and spends a year and a half with most patients on their journey to healing.  As always, there’s a sprinkle of spirituality as Dr. Cole opens up about integrating mindfulness into his everyday life, his recent foray into astrology, business goals, and so much more!! Plus, they are both Libras. ;) Thanks to Pique tea for sponsoring this episode. Jordan is obsessed with this clean, immune-advanced brand that gives you nutrients on the go. Their vitamin C is the best on the market, as it’s maximized for absorption and made with the highest quality ingredients.

Jordan’s longtime friend and incredible creative entrepreneur Annie Lawless joins the show today in this episode about creating brands, healing, wellness, family and the OG blogging life. Annie is the co-founder of Suja Juice & founder + CEO of Lawless Beauty, as well as a new mama and a true wellness guru. If you’re looking for the go-ahead on your business idea, then Annie’s incredible insights and tips will inspire you to no end. Suja Juice was born from a pure passion for clean living. It started as a home delivery service, which coincidentally is how she met her now-husband, which we talk about! Now it’s a nation-wide company & a household name. Her most recent clean makeup venture, Lawless Beauty, snowballed from a petite lipstick collection to a full-on portfolio that’s taken Sephora by storm. You’ll get all the inside scoop on the latest products and the magic happening behind the scenes. There’s a nostalgic walk down memory lane as “grad-school dropouts,” with flashbacks to their blogging days and being part of the wellness scene when it was in infancy. Annie gives us an update on how her life has changed since becoming a mother to a darling daughter, Daisy, and her newfound appreciation for a quiet and fulfilling family life.  Thanks to Cured Nutrition for sponsoring this episode.

This insightful bonus episode brings the theme of entrepreneurship from a legal standpoint to The Balanced Blonde community. We hope this fact-filled conversation is a helpful resource to all levels of entrepreneurs who listen to this show. Also, we are excited to bring this episode to any lawyers or budding future lawyers to show that there’s not a one size fits all approach to becoming an attorney. There’s always a creative solution to find your niche & follow your passion.  Grant Atkinson is the founder and managing attorney of Framework Law, a truly innovative and unique firm built for creative entrepreneurs. Grant frames the legalities of brand creation and maintenance in such an accessible and warm way that’s collaborative and not combative. It’s one of the reasons Jordan loves working with him and wants to share him with you all. As a creative entrepreneur herself — who has had to learn the hard way on a few occasions! — Jordan knows just how important it is to have the right people supporting your brand.  They discuss Business Contracts, Businesses Entities, Trademarks, Copyright, Intellectual Property, what NOT to do when you start a business, and other legal box-tickers one should be aware of when creating a business. As a fellow creative entrepreneur with plenty of artistic pursuits of his own, he brings another layer of understanding to those working in this industry. He shares his professional journey, inspirations, and the elements that make his work so special. Thanks to Beekeepers Naturals for sponsoring this episode.

I asked you guys to send in all of your deepest & weirdest questions so I could answer them in one episode! My top priority is to share all of the love with our beautiful soul family and make sure I answer your burning questions and share from my heart. On the top of the agenda is the Celestial Diet, which is a hybrid of an SOS-free, plant-based diet and my modern intuitive eating style, with a sprinkle of otherworldly magic on top! I share my journey with food and healing, and how this particular lifestyle has helped me look and feel the best I have ever felt. Body positivity in all its glorious forms, from plastic surgery and botox to self-love rituals and different diets, is discussed openly -- you guys had a lot of questions about all of it! I also share how I communicate with spirit children, angels, spirit guides, hormones, the brief 48 hours that I had an IUD, and beyond. Lastly, there is a super fun quick-fire round and a True & False segment that dives into Human Design, business plans, past lives, childhood and so much more.

Lily Ashwell is an intuitive astrologer, artist, healer, and a dear friend of Jordan’s. She is a fellow Lyme warrior who has been by Jordan’s side through much of their healing journeys. She created her Heavenly Bodies intuitive astrology deck in the thick of her darkest times with Lyme disease, after walking away from her past career as a fashion designer and shop owner (many of you in Los Angeles will remember her beautiful shop in Venice). As she so eloquently describes in the episode, her deck became a vehicle to channel her purest form of self, and that emotional density is so present once you touch her beautiful card deck. Her ethereal aesthetic resonates with Jordan so deeply. We reflect on our medicinal mission to heal and the spiritual awakenings we both shared during our intense water fast retreat when we solidified our friendship. She also talks about her positive experience with Bee Venom therapy and how she’s learned to see the gifts of her chronic illness.  We love how Lily has harnessed powerful lessons from her dark night of the soul into something so poetic and beautiful. Her brave decision to leave a relationship and job no longer serving her, and throw her heart into this beautiful project is such an inspiration for those struggling to find their purpose. She’s a self-taught ‘astrology school dropout,’ but lives and breathes this energy so effortlessly — astrology is literally etched in her face! This episode will definitely pique your curiosity for the cosmos. You’ll learn so much about the significance of your Saturn Return, the moon/sun signs, and the different Houses. Her readings are spot on and I’m so excited for you all to get to know her and her brand, Heavenly Bodies, and watch her evolve in the spiritual space. To celebrate Lily’s beautiful journey, we’re offering a giveaway of her astrology deck.  To enter: Rate and review this podcast on iTunes and email me a screenshot at jordan@thebalancedblonde.com Follow @lilyashwell  + @tbbpodcast on Instagram Thanks to Olipop for sponsoring this episode.

This time last year, Kenzie Burke was a guest on this very podcast after Jordan was called to invite her on the show. Flash-forward one year, and their connection has blossomed from strangers to soul sisters. It’s crystal clear when you hear them together that their connection is other-worldly, and this is definitely not the first lifetime they’ve known each other!  In many ways, Kenzie’s life experiences have run parallel to Jordan’s own. From their memories of being born, dealing with Lyme, and healing through a plant-based diet to self-correcting their public images in a quest to be more authentic. Last year plunged both girls into a vortex of pain, bliss, confusion, and intense growth, a theme they delve into wholeheartedly in today’s episode. Plus, there’s plenty of fun girl talk on morning routines, beauty, astrology, human design, and spirit shapes/animals!  Over the last year, Kenzie has undertaken a profound spiritual journey that’s guiding her all over the world and launched an incredible biodynamic coffee and cacao combo that’s so in alignment with her purpose. Stay tuned until the end of the conversation, when Kenzie answers all the questions you sent in and reveals the exciting new projects she’ll be bringing to the world this coming year!  Thanks to Kin Europhics for sponsoring this episode.
