										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi loves! Two blog posts in one week? Heck yes. I miss the days of posting every day, but since those days of the internet have long shifted I figured twice in one week was a good place to land.</p>
<p>I am laying in bed this morning feeling VERYYYY affected by daylight savings (just me? anyone else? please tell me) and literally feeling like I have traveled across the world due to the &#8216;jet lag&#8217; vibes I am feeling, lol. And I really don&#8217;t feel like doing anything but blogging, so let&#8217;s go!</p>
<p>Anyway, before we begin, how are you feeling? Check in with yourself and just take a moment. A deep breath. A hand over your heart. You deserve it. We move through life SO fast and lately my mantra has been all about slowwwwing down. Slow slow slow. It&#8217;s very hard to do but I believe when we are able to master that practice, everything can shift. <em>Everything.</em></p>
<p>It seems like there are so many things happening in the world of TBB (and in my personal world) lately, and since my 12 things Tuesday posts are usually more all over the place &amp; deep, I felt like we needed a post *specifically* for all of the happy things going on in the brand lately. (And omg &#8212; my word count is stuck at 201, my lucky number, you can&#8217;t make it up. My WordPress has been doing this since I started blogging eleven years ago. Just wowwww.)</p>
<p><em><strong>Thank you for being here &amp; letting me share these happy things with you!! Tell me your happy things below. I always want to hear!!! ♡</strong></em></p>
<h2>8 Happy Things &amp; Life Updates &amp; Beyond! <strong>♡</strong></h2>
<p>1. Tonight we have a super special live event with my medium, mentor, and dear friend Nikki Novo. She is the celeb psychic we all know &amp; love, the woman who taught me how to channel, and she has a waitlist of over 1,000 people. <strong>This evening you can hear from her <em>directly</em> in my membership platform</strong>, and you can do a live Q&amp;A with us, learn how to channel and tap into your intuition via Nikki and her teaching, and so much more. This would normally be a $500+ experience, and you can join for literally <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$11.11 if you join my monthly membership</a>. OR less than <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$10/month if you join yearly</a>. Like honestly even if you join for this event &amp; nothing else for the entire year, it&#8217;s so worth it. Even though I believe you&#8217;ll fall in love with the content once you&#8217;re in there!</p>
<p>2. I am 21 weeks pregnant with my baby girl and the time is FLYING. My bump app tells me she is the size of an endive today (lol, what a funny comparison) and I feel her kicking and moving all the time! We had our anatomy scan last week and it was so fun to see her sweet face. I feel like she already looks just like Atticus, but in her own feminine way. I can&#8217;t wait to welcome her into the world in 19 short weeks&#8230; or less! Gah!!</p>
<p>3. Yesterday we had a new solo episode drop, and it is a new favorite!! I am LOVING doing solos even more than usual and have honestly contemplated transitioning my show to 90% solos at some point. Let me know if you&#8217;d be into that. Tune into episode 361 to hear all about the 15 things I&#8217;ve learned since raising my vibration. It&#8217;s a riff off of my blog post from the other week, but we go way deeper on the pod because I can really talk through everything. There are also tips for raising YOUR vibe in there. Would love to hear your thoughts &amp; if you&#8217;ve listened!! Listen in <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1E29nQxzMc7cuG8QRCGgrm?si=d96bzy-WRZaEDS8Ds4ubZg&amp;context=spotify%3Ashow%3A1yPqVantMWgrUD7t5lu2sk&amp;nd=1&amp;dlsi=33ec5d4cec0245b2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> or wherever you like to get your pods!</p>
<p>4. I dropped a few hints about this in the podcast episode, but I am embarking on a somatic training later this month. I am so excited. I have felt called to somatic healing for a long time, but never felt like it was the right time to dive into something new. I am mostly excited to dive into this training so that I can use these practices in my own life and for my own healing, but I am equally excited to share my learnings in the <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">platform</a> &amp; infuse all of the somatic exercises and goodness into meditations, flows, affirmations, pep talks, and beyond. If you are interested in the training itself, you can <a href="https://www.bodybasedbreakthrough.com/somatic-training/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">go here to see the one I&#8217;m doing</a>, and <em><strong>the code BLONDE</strong> </em>will get you $1,000 off of your training. &lt;3</p>
<p>5. New TBB MERCH is coming! I am hoping early April but am still waiting to hear back from the vendor on whether that soon is for sure feasible. The designs and styles are my favorite we have ever done by far &#8212; I feel like they&#8217;re the most universal and that you guys are going to absolutely love. Who is ready to add to their collection?!</p>
<p>6. I have been wrestling with a big decision for nearly two years and this week, that decision was taken off my plate by things outside of my control&#8230; which was actually amazing. This was something that would have been *huge* for my career, but I am not so sure it would have been great for my mental health, my family, or my wellbeing&#8230; at times the choice to say &#8220;no&#8221; seemed like a no-brainer but the workaholic in me (and the girl within me who is always up for an adventure) kept wanting to say &#8220;YES.&#8221; All in all, the opportunity fell through for reasons that had nothing to do with me &#8212; and although there was minor disappointment, I trust that the universe did this for a reason. I deeply trust that it was the right thing. And I am grateful to no longer be ruminating on that decision AND to not have to second-guess myself for any decision that I made, whether it was a yes or a no.</p>
<p>7. The most exciting &amp; happy thing by far (other than the pregnancy) in my life right now is <strong><em>CHANNELING for the platform</em></strong>!! I always felt like I would have a platform where I could channel my deepest knowings, magic from higher realms, all things Pleiaidan, life-changing and quantum-shifting meditations, and so much more&#8230; and it&#8217;s finally arrived. Having our amazing community in there only makes it that much sweeter. Join <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> if you feel called, I FEEL like if you haven&#8217;t, it&#8217;s time!??!</p>
<p>8. We created a super fun quiz for you to receive your own CUSTOM meditation schedule within the platform! And you don&#8217;t even have to be a member to do it!! <a href="https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/65e6960e8ce3c00015cc1291" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Go here to take the quiz</a> &amp; claim your custom routine. &lt;3</p>]]></content:encoded>

It literally came to me in a burst the other day, i.e. what I have been calling a &#8220;wisdom transmission.&#8221; If you&#8217;re in the meditation platform, then iykyk.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guys, this blog post has been a long time coming. It literally came to me in a burst the other day, i.e. what I have been calling a &#8220;wisdom transmission.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re in <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the meditation platform</a>, then iykyk. Wisdom transmissions are kinda my new thing now.</p>
<p>But today, it&#8217;s all about raising our vibration. This is accessible to all of us. It can and will shift everything, and trust me when I say it DOES create miracles in our lives.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s get into it&#8230;</p>
<p>Our beings are made of energy. The universe is energy.<i> We are energy</i>. And we have the unique ability to shift that energy to allow for more peace, more happiness, more abundance and the infinite beauty of flow in our daily life.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>These shifts don’t need to be big. They don&#8217;t need to take all day, cost any money, or cause any stress in your life (def no stress). <b>In most cases these shifts involve going back to the BASICS. Meditating, breathing, journaling, reflecting, taking time in stillness. Becoming aware of who you are and what you need so that you can commit to *shifting it* on deep, deep levels.</b></p>
<p>It takes being honest with yourself. It takes expressing your voice. It takes becoming a powerhouse and believing in yourself &amp; YOUR POWER above all else. Ultimately, it&#8217;s the magic sauce that will forever shift your energy &amp; transform your entire being.</p>
<h2>So with that, here are the 15 things I&#8217;ve learned since raising my vibration. It was going to be 12, but who would I be if I didn&#8217;t add extra? <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></h2>
<p><em>( I literally wrote these via voice dictation while walking to dinner last night because I felt so inspired to get this out of my body and into the universe. That&#8217;s what it feels like to be in FLOW. I hope you enjoy!! )</em></p>
<p>1. People are on their own path, always. You cannot change them. You cannot fix them. They are going to do what they’re going to do no matter what. Don’t be hurt by what they do, what they don&#8217;t do, what they say or don&#8217;t say, because it ultimately has nothing to do with you. As long as you keep your side of the street clean, and you are leading your life <strong><em>with pure intentions</em></strong>, that is the best and only thing that you can do. And that is the only thing worth putting your focus on!</p>
<p>2. It will always feel like there is a higher goal to reach. If you want to have 500 people support your product or brand, then once you reach that you’re going to want 1,000. Then 2,000, and on and on. It’s never going to feel like &#8220;enough&#8221; because that&#8217;s not where we actually receive validation. It&#8217;s a false sense, rather than a true sense. So you have to be okay with knowing that you have enough, WHEREVER you are, and exactly where you are. That&#8217;s how you stay in that vibration &amp; ultimately manifest more.</p>
<p>3. The inside is more important than the outside, ALWAYS. In every way, shape, and form. This has is infinitely true for people, places, things, beyond. <em>Material items are just that: material.</em> Dont chase them, they are fleeting. We can&#8217;t bring money or fame into the next life with us. Material items can provide comforts and there’s nothing wrong with desiring those things (and manifesting them), but don&#8217;t let having them or not having them define a single ounce of your self worth.</p>
<p>4. Your answers live inside of you. The answer to all of life’s questions live within you. All you have to do is look, listen, and trust. And on that note, no one else knows what the &#8220;right&#8221; answer is for you, so at the end of the day you have to tune in to yourself to make your own decisions.</p>
<p>5. The grass is not always greener on the other side. “There” is not better than “here.” Every single person has insecurities, vulnerabilities, challenges, painful memories, traumatic moments, let downs. There will always be another “there” — so let the here and now speak for itself. Don&#8217;t wish to be in someone else&#8217;s shoes, instead focus your energy on making <em>your </em>here &amp; now the most important and resonant thing.</p>
<p>6. Learning lessons does not end! So there is no need to wish our way out of a lesson or a tough time. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. Be open to learning from every experience, and suddenly nothing will seem like a mistake. There is no such thing as mistakes, only lessons&#8230; and in that case, there is also no such thing as regrets! You&#8217;re doing it all right. You haven&#8217;t made any mistakes. You&#8217;ve got this. &lt;3</p>
<p>7. At the end of the day, Love with a capital L is all that matters. Love is all there is. There is a VILLAGE of your loved ones surrounding you, and then there are the suburbs of that village. Focus on the village. The suburbs are nice, sure, but make sure you are allocating your deepest energy where it matters most.</p>
<p>8. Nothing should come before your relationship with yourself. Your practice, your self-care, your routine, and your love for YOU is everything, it is a gift to those around you, and it will free you. It is not selfish. Pour into your own cup, and watch how much easier it is to overflow the cups of your loved ones once you feel more whole.</p>
<p>9. Authenticity comes before everything else. Don&#8217;t try to be cool, look cool, or emulate anyone else other than your beautiful side. People who see you for who you really are are the ones who are meant to be in your life, and your authenticity will act as a MAGNET to draw them to you. Like attracts like. It&#8217;s pretty amazing.</p>
<p>10. The higher the frequency of your energy or vibration, the lighter you will feel in your physical, emotional, and mental bodies. You experience greater personal power, clarity, peace, love, and joy. Ultimately, the goal is to even experience less pain &amp; dis-ease, but that is a conversation for another day!</p>
<p>11. Confidence comes from within, and within only. Perfection doesn&#8217;t exist. Learn to embrace your imperfections, and dare to LOVE the things about yourself other people criticize. When you learn how to do that, negativity &amp; outer perceptions will roll off your shoulders. You will clearly see that others perceptions are only a reflection of what they see and feel about themselves.</p>
<p>12. Release control and surrender to the flow of life. The more we resist the flow, the harder of a time we will have. The more we embrace the flow, the easier it will be to ride the waves and rise to the many various seasons of life. (This one was a lesson from plant medicine, and remains one of my most powerful lessons &amp; life shifters to this day.)</p>
<p>13. Cultivating a state of <strong><em>radical acceptance</em></strong> first of yourself &amp; then of others illuminates the path to inner peace and liberation. By embracing every experience, both the light and the shadow, as sacred teachers on our journey, we transcend the limitations of ego and awaken to the infinite wisdom of the soul.</p>
<p>14. DO NO HARM, but take no shit. In other words, be kind but don&#8217;t let people mistake your kindness for weakness. &lt;3 This is my current mantra. Changing my whole damn vibe. (A good example of this is: be a kind and loving friend/person, but don&#8217;t let someone walk all over you. Don&#8217;t chase people who are clearly not interested in you. Rather than chasing, raise your own vibe and you will attract.)</p>
<p>15. Life is a game, and it&#8217;s meant to be played and won. You came here to win life. In this life and the lifetimes beyond, you have everything you need to succeed and manifest + create your wildest dreams.</p>
<p><b><i>THE NEXT POST will be all about how to raise your vibe. But for now, what did I miss on this list?! What would you add? Hope this helps you immensely on your awakening journey. &lt;3</i></b></p>]]></content:encoded>

This is the shortest meditation that we have, and the longest one is 45 minutes &#8212; and we have tons in between. I am super excited to hear what you think&#8230; tell me below!</p>
<p>2. If you have joined the platform, make sure you&#8217;ve checked out the community board where you can introduce yourself, make friends in your area, tell us your Human Design / astrology and all the things, and tune in there because I am always popping in to write little messages to you guys, host challenges, and plan events! (Join us <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/XMLKhoM2/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>here for monthly</strong></a>, and <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>here for yearly</strong></a> pricing! This will go up in just a few days, as it&#8217;s founding members pricing! If you do yearly you get a whole month for free.)</p>
<p>3. We have our first live event in the platform next Monday, Feb 12th at 6pm PST with my alignment coach and astrology guru Eric Roberts! This event will be available to all members, so if you&#8217;ve joined us I cannot freaking wait to see you there!!!</p>
<p>4. Right now is probably the most chaotic experience I have had writing a blog post&#8230; our nanny called in sick today, so Jonathan and I have been trading off responsibilities with Atticus. Usually Attie naps from 1:30-4:30ish everyday (sometimes even til 5pm!) and today he decided to wake up right at 3pm. It&#8217;s like he knows mama is juggling work, recording, writing, a migraine, and all the things, lol. In all honesty I love an impromptu day with my boy and we&#8217;ve been having so much fun, but I wish you could see the chaos that is taking place with me trying to type this right now! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>5. I am still obsessed with BRICK BREAKER&#8230; I mentioned this last week, and I feel like such a gamer, but this game is literally so fun and so addictive. I play it on my iPad at night for like hours and it is such a good time to zone out my mind and just be. I find that, like reading, playing a game like this is one of the only times that my brain can chill and think about one thing at once. You can&#8217;t really worry/stress while you&#8217;re playing it because there is so much strategy involved. Random I know, but it is way too much fun.</p>
<p>6. Speaking of entertainment&#8230; I have also been very into Gypsy Rose&#8217;s prison documentary. I think she is so eloquently spoken and has been through so much, and I am here for her comeback and her freedom. My dream is to have her on the podcast! Let&#8217;s make it happen / manifest ittt!!!</p>
<p>7. Have you joined my Celestie Besties broadcast channel on IG? Lately I have been posting in there a lot and it&#8217;s been such a fun place to connect and just a spot to share random musings and hang out with you guys. I am always here for anything that creates more connection between us.</p>
<p>8. We are currently starting to look into planning our BABYMOON! I think we will go to Ojai this time just to make it easy and do it somewhere that is near-ish to home, and I am already so excited for this getaway and for some time with my J.</p>
<p>9. Did you listen to our gender reveal podcast episode from last week?!? If not, you must!! It is such a fun one! Were you right about the gender?!? I also posted our gender reveal video to my IG yesterday. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>10. I am very much looking for good BOOK RECS! Please leave any and all below, I am looking for something juicy to suck me in. I was on such a book bender for so long but then I feel like I read everything that I&#8217;d had on my list. Sooo help me expand on my list!! Tell me your faves!</p>
<p>11. The weather in LA right now is truly nuts. They&#8217;re calling it an *atmospheric river.* And although I do not watch the news, I have heard that from so many people and am not seeing it outside of my window firsthand. No one loves a cozy rainy day more than me, but with young kids who love to be outside I have to say that is definitely the hardest part. ps you know it&#8217;s rainy when every email of the day begins with &#8220;I hope you&#8217;re staying dry&#8230;!&#8221;</p>
<p>12. My favorite pep talk from <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the platform</a> is <strong><em>In 100 Years No One Will Remember You (&amp; Let&#8217;s Harness That For Good!)</em></strong><strong> </strong>&#8212; if you&#8217;re in, you&#8217;ve got to listen and tell me what you think!!</p>
<p>13. (A bonus!) Huddy has been cuddling with me all day and he is so perfect I cannot even handle it. Cat mom for life. Where are my other cat mamas at?</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guys OMG,</p>
<p><em>Our Meditation Platform is live.</em> I had to make it blog post official. If you&#8217;re also on the emails and have already received the announcement magic, then I promise to make this one different and special for you. OG blog post style. I miss those days, truly.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s get into it&#8230; the membership meditation platform I have been working on for <em>a whole entire year </em>&amp; that I have been in the process of dreaming up for <em>four full years at least </em>is officially HERE, it&#8217;s live, and it&#8217;s ready for you to join!</p>
<p>Ahhh! First thing&#8217;s first, if you&#8217;re ready to sign up, you can do so <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/XMLKhoM2/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>here</strong></a> (monthly), or <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>here</strong></a> (yearly &#8212; better deal)!</p>
<p>Since we are making this blog post official, let me tell you the original origin inspiration story behind the meditation platform. I believe when you hear and feel the full passion behind it, you will feel even more invested and invigorated to join us. If you&#8217;re here reading the blog, then you&#8217;re a real one. Or maybe you just stumbled upon the site for the first time ever today, in which case&#8230; hi!! Also so unbelievably happy that you&#8217;re here!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-22025 size-full" src="https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/iphone-TBB-meditation-app-preview-2.gif" alt="Jordan's new Membership Meditation Platform available online." width="1200" height="800" /></p>
<h2>The OG origin story&#8230;</h2>
<p><em>Ok so let&#8217;s back up to about seven years ago.</em> I was a bit lost at this point in my life but I didn&#8217;t even know it. I was a diehard entrepreneur, blogging my heart out every day and working with lots of fun brands at the very forefront of brand/influencer work, and I didn&#8217;t even have my podcast yet! Woah. I was also single&#8230; very single. But I did have my cat, Huddy, who was and still is my whole world. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>My photographer at the time Ashley had asked me to speak at a retreat in Santa Barbara about my health and entrepreneurial journey, so without knowing many details I hopped in the car and drove to the hotel where the event was being held.</p>
<p>I spoke that day (can barely remember what I even spoke about lol), but more importantly my eyes kept getting locked in with a girl in the audience who&#8217;s eyes were shining SO bright they were basically leaping out of her head. She was smiling so genuinely the whole time I was speaking, and I remember just thinking, &#8220;Wow, I need to meet this girl, she seems so kind and I need to know what she&#8217;s all about and become friends with her.&#8221;</p>
<p>After the talk she introduced herself to me as Britt Deanda, and told me that she was a kundalini teacher. She introduced me to her business partner Tara as well and  I started taking classes with them immediately. It was wild, because I had been SO intrigued by kundalini during that time &#8212; and after I met them, the kundalini synchronicities only escalated. Books started falling off shelves (literally&#8230; not exaggerating lol) that were about kundalini, and landing straight at my feet. It was an undeniable pull.</p>
<p>Kundalini opened me up in many ways. I believe that for the first time since childhood, I started to have experiences of drastic spiritual awakening. My psychic and intuitive abilities started coming back online, and I started to predict and feel things before they would happen. I got more sensitive absolutely and had to really work on revving up my boundaries, but this was an incredible time of spiritual awakening for me.</p>
<p>Then I discovered the Pleiadian starseeds the following summer, and the rest was freaking history. I dove into the starseed life absolutely <i>in full </i>and started channeling all. the. time. I had blue beings visit me in my room in the middle of the night and &#8220;stitch up my brain,&#8221; giving me upgrades and igniting me with awakening uplevels galore.</p>
<p>I did my reiki I training, taught yoga basically full-time, and LIVED and BREATHED this way of life. I was so, so, so excited to tap into my gifts and bring them to the world. I also started dating my now-husband Jonathan, and in many ways everything started to align for me in a real big way.</p>
<p>Then I fell into chronic illness for many years, and that&#8217;s a whole other story &#8212; but the long story short is that even though my gifts had been &#8220;turned on&#8221; by then, I really didn&#8217;t spend a whole lot of time actively tapping into them or using them. Every medium, every psychic, every healer, every intuitive would tell me, &#8220;You NEED to use your gifts or your gifts will use you.&#8221; And I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, that has been true.</p>
<p><strong><i>I could tell you a bajillion more things in this story, but now you understand that when I say I am *finally* using my gifts in a big way and a real way in this new platform, you know what a big deal that is to me. How this is not only my calling but something that I feel will both heal me and in turn heal others. </i></strong></p>
<p>I started creating this meditation platform about a year ago, and when I started recording the meditations (many of which I scrapped btw because they got way better as I went along, and now I can say they&#8217;re truly epic), I was thrilled to see that they were basically being channeled directly from the Pleiades. The starseeds had a LOT to say, and they were elated that I was finally, finally, finally listening.</p>
<p>So when you join the membership, I definitely encourage you to go straight to the &#8220;otherworldly deep dive&#8221; section if you feel called. There, you will find:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Pleiadian Wisdom Transmissions (LIFE CHANGING&#8230; plzzzz listen)</em></li>
<li><em>Advanced Pleiadian channeling meditation</em></li>
<li><em>Freeflow channeling meditation</em></li>
<li><em>OG Pleiadian channeling meditation</em></li>
<li><em>Quantum leaping &amp; timeline hopping medi </em></li>
<li><em>Pep talk on quantum leaping &amp; navigating parallel realities</em></li>
<li><em>Meditation to tune into your angelic frequency </em></li>
<li><em>Akashic Records meditation</em></li>
</ul>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">If you feel called, you can sign up HERE!</a></h3>
<p>&#8230;&amp; SO MUCH MORE! I am also so excited because we have a very cool interactive community on there where you can connect and make friends from all over the world, and the comments section has been popping off since our hard launch yesterday, which was of course on 2:01!! And I have to say, RIGHT NOW is 2:01pm and this post is currently at 1002 words&#8230;. you <em>CANNOTTT make it up!!</em></p>
<p>Also, we have lots of virtual live events coming up. On 11/12, we have one with my mentor and alignment coach Eric Roberts, which will be an astrology forecast deep dive, and I am so excited to invite you to it!! It&#8217;s going to be magical, and only for members of the platform!!</p>
<p>Other live events we can look forward to are: Akashic Records deep dives, mediumship deep dive with my medium/mentor Nikki Novo, kundalini with Britt &amp; Tara (mentioned in the story above!!), movement classes with my fave spiritual fitness instructors, and I have a huuuuuge lineup of guests and ideas &#8212; including lots of solos with me, and one with me and Jonathan on meditation + calling in your soulmate partner.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t feel ready for all of the otherworldly stuff, we also have more beginner-friendly and super accessible places to start, like 2 minute affirmations to shift your day, 3 minute meditation for confidence, affirmations for health &amp; healing, affirmations for getting into alignment, and SO MUCH MOREEEE.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing more I would love than to have you join us. Truly, truly. This is the future of TBB, so it&#8217;s not going anywhere. But the founding members pricing is as low as it will ever be, and after next week it will be going up. I plan to have over 100 meditations/affirmations/recordings in there over the next few months.</p>
<p>&amp; did I mention&#8230; PEP TALKS, that are like bonus podcasts with me!?!?!? Those are actually one of my very favorite parts. I listened to the Soul of Money Pep Talk last night and it shifted my entire being. &lt;3</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hiii besties and happy Tuesday!!! This post is going out later than usual today, but I would not miss a Tuesday to chat with you guys. We got home late from Kauai last night &#8211; and I mean laaaate. As in, Atticus was running around our apartment at midnight playing basketball with my dad <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> he was so thrilled to be reunited with Nana &amp; Papa he refused to go to sleep!! It was a sight. And a lonnnggg day, but the most worth it ever because Kauai was a <em>literal dream.</em></p>
<p>I will do a Kauai recap post with all of our top recommendations, and will also leave some recs below! Can&#8217;t wait to share with you guys, as that is always a top request whenever we go to any of the Hawaiian islands. For now, let&#8217;s get into today&#8217;s 12 things. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday ♡</h2>
<p>1. I currently feel like a zombie because we were up so late, and the travel day yesterday was bonkers. The flight from Kauai to LA is only a little over 5 hours, but with a toddler who refuses to nap it feels like the longest 5 hours of life, lol. He was honestly so good for most of it, but hours 4 &amp; 5 were roughhhh. And he also didn&#8217;t want to eat anything, so he was both exhausted and hungry!! But Jonathan and I discovered a game on the plane&#8217;s entertainment system called &#8220;ball defender&#8221; and I don&#8217;t even know how to describe it, maybe it&#8217;s sort of like Tetris (kind of??), and I became ADDICTED. It was so fun and Atticus loved it too. I swear it got us through those last few hours!</p>
<p>2. If I could give any tips to parents traveling with kids, my top tip would be: even though it&#8217;s going to be difficult and exhausting, DO IT ANYWAY. Don&#8217;t let having little kids hold you back from traveling, seeing the world, and creating memories as a family. We kept talking about the fact that this trip to Kauai was the BEST trip we have taken as a family so far. Atticus is old enough now to really have so much fun. He loved the beaches, the pools, the hikes, spending such quality time with us and our friends, and just exploring the island. I wouldn&#8217;t trade these family trips for the world, even if the travel days can be a little (or a lot) hectic.</p>
<p>3. I feel like I should do a post about packing / traveling with toddlers, because I feel like we&#8217;ve finally gotten it down to a science. And also, traveling is a great time to start a new habit with a toddler or put a break in an old routine. This trip I think Atticus pretty much weaned off of his nightly formula bottle, and I know if we had just been home in our usual routine that never would have happened. Every night in Kauai he was just asking for water!!</p>
<p>4. I swear, my body was made to be on the Hawaiian time zone. I really think this is true and has something to do with my past lives and beyond. In Hawaii, it is so easy for me to wake up with the sun around 6:30am, and go to bed at 8:30pm. Like literally by 8:30 I cannot keep my eyes open and fall asleep so easily. In California, I am a night owl, cannot wake up in the morning for the life of me, and toss and turn in bed until past 4 in the morning (including last night). WHAT is this all about!!!</p>
<p>5. I have been working on my book and recently started incorporating a lot more Pleiadian stuff into the book as it has been channeling through&#8230; and my connection to the sweet Pleiadians has been growing ten million fold. I have missed channeling them and also talking about them on the podcast, and I hear you guys when you tell me that you miss it too!! I am on another massive starseed deep dive, and cannot wait to share what has been coming forward. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f47d.png" alt="👽" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>6. Speaking of, have you taken the starseed quiz on the homepage of my site?!! What starseed are you?! Tell meeee!</p>
<p>7. We did the most special family photoshoot in Kauai and I cannot even tell you what an angel Atticus was. I am obsessed with capturing every phase of his life because it all moves so quickly. We were just saying, even the difference between how he was when we were in Cabo in October and how he is now, is WILD. He is so much more of a &#8220;kid&#8221; now rather than a baby. I try not to get caught up in the anxiety of how fast it all goes and wanting to soak in every moment&#8230;. but having children really does put time into perspective in a big way.</p>
<p>8. I am listening to my favorite <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvzR17jupjE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">444 Hz music</a> on YouTube right now and this is just your monthly reminder that this is such a great background vibe for your day. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> I have it on in the background while I&#8217;m working pretty much 100% of the time!</p>
<p>9. I read some VERY good books in Kauai. One of them was called <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/154200523X/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_TGDYK4TQXQ7RH7MN9HND?linkCode=ml1&amp;tag=jordanyounget-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">If You Tell</a>, </em>and it&#8217;s a real story of a family&#8217;s life that truly sounds more like fiction than reality. The mom covered up three murders, treats her daughters in crazy abusive ways, and gets away with it for the majority of her life. It&#8217;s a really interesting take on how we protect our parents at all costs, and what it takes for her daughters to eventually wake up and report her. If you love real life true crime type of stories, you will devour this. But fair warning&#8230; it&#8217;s not light reading!! And it really stuck with me, I keep thinking about the family and all that they went through. So so wild.</p>
<p>10. Now I am reading <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1984818406/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_EP4V3DZJZ8BCNMJM550A?linkCode=ml1&amp;tag=jordanyounget-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Mad Honey</em></a> by Jodi Picoult, and for my fiction lovers you will love. It is so well-written and so far I am on the edge of my seat to see what happens&#8230;! So far it&#8217;s a 9/10 from me &#8212; very good!</p>
<p>11. We are getting closer and closer to the launch of TBB meditation platform!!! <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.ck.page/f6d4a89d4d" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Are you on the VIP waitlist yet?!</strong></a>VIP&#8217;s will get first access to launch pricing, epic giveaways, live channelings, and so much more. I am so elated to share this magical portal with you.</p>
<p>12. Being reunited with Huddy last night was the best thing ever after being gone for almost a week. He slept in my arms all night and gave me so much love. There is truly nothing in the world better than the love of an animal. &lt;3</p>
<p><strong><i>How are my fave people!? I know today&#8217;s list was a little all over the place&#8230; I feel very frazzled today lol. Tell me how you&#8217;re doing! I cannot believe it&#8217;s almost the holidays (and already Chanukah!!), time is FLYINNNGGG.</i></strong></p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, hello to my favorite people in the world! When this post goes live I will be on a plane to Kauai&#8230; ahhh! I am so excited. I will definitely do a Kauai travel guide + musts list when I return, that is always a big request from you guys. I just searched my blog because I know I have done a previous Kauai guide but that was back in 2016 &#8212; WHAT?! I was a different person back then lol. So an updated one is coming your way!</p>
<p>How are all of my faves today? Tell meee!! You know hearing from you in the comments of the blog is one of my top favorite things in the world. ♡</p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday //</h2>
<p>1. I had a meeting in NYC recently about my brand and the first thing that came up was one of the women said, &#8220;I checked your blog to see if you still actually blogged, and to my surprise&#8230; you really actually do.&#8221; <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Guys. I am a blogger who blogs. I will always blog. I will forever miss the days when blogging regularly was something that more people did and when reading blogs was new, exciting, and part of MANY of our daily routines. Who was an OG blog reader?! Of mine or any others?</p>
<p>2. Speaking of OG bloggers. I had Tezza Barton, creator of the Tezza App and all around most creative human in the world, on the podcast last week. It will be coming out in about a month. It was one of my favorite conversations to date. She is just as gorgeous, well-spoken, creative, smart, and powerhouse-esque in real life as she is online. It was an honor and a total manifested moment. I can&#8217;t wait for you guys to hear it!</p>
<p>3. Some other OG bloggers I will always love: Amber Fillerup (duh, we both have Atticus&#8217;s!), Cara Loren, Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad (first blog I ever even heard of), Lauryn Bosstick of TSC of course (check out this <a href="https://www.theskinnyconfidential.com/team-blonde-veganveggie-jordan-younger-talks-lifestyle/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>VERY OLD blog swap we did</strong></a>, omg!), Geri Hirsch who is also a dear friend, Rachel Parcell, Earthy Andy &amp; Loni Jane. To name a FEW. Because I will always, always love that OG blog life. It is very cool to see how every single one of these women have transformed their brand over time!</p>
<p>4. Who are your favorite bloggers? Even if they don&#8217;t blog anymore, I want to know. Also on that note, fave YouTubers?!</p>
<p>5. I ask because I&#8217;d love some YouTube inspiration. I am planning on vlogging our trip to Kauai. But I haven&#8217;t vlogged in FOREVER so wish me luck!! What do people like to see on YT these days?!</p>
<p>6. Also, all of the recent pod episodes <a href="https://www.youtube.com/thebalancedblonde" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>can be found on my YT now</strong></a>, and I highly recommend checking those out! We have new thumbnails and they&#8217;re a fun vibe. Especially recommend checking out the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfNwM5qCADY&amp;t=4s" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>episode from last month with The Anxiety MD</strong></a>, it was LIFE CHANGING and I am never over it. If you struggle with anxiety of any kind, that convo is for you.</p>
<p>7. There is something in the air lately where shit just feels out of whack. Is it just me? Last week our nanny couldn&#8217;t come in, Attie and I caught bad colds, things with work kept getting delayed, my parents left town so we didn&#8217;t have any additional help when it was super needed, Jonathan had an extra stressful week, I knew I had to get ahead before Kauai and that was barely able to happen, the list goes on&#8230; and I FELT that Gemini full moon. Did you?!?! It was an emotional rollercoaster. When it passed I was hoping things would ease up, but they didn&#8217;t, lol!! Oh and I have had a lot of chronic fatigue for the first time in a while. So&#8230; lots of things. You feeling it?</p>
<p>8. I know I have mentioned this, but Jonathan and I are deep into watching Suits. We are about ten years late to the party, lol. But it is SO good, we are hooked, and can&#8217;t get enough!! We are currently on season 6&#8230; and I am already depressed that it ends after season 8 because watching it has become such a staple for us. If you&#8217;re looking for a good show to get into, especially with your husband/partner, I recommend it HIGHLY. My dad loved it too. And we&#8217;re all picky so you can trust us. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>9. This is my reminder to you to take a self-care day this December!!! You deserve it. Get your nails done, book a massage, a reflexology appt, or romance yourself with a candlelit bath + a technology-free night. This is the time of year to wind down and we all really freaking deserve it.</p>
<p>10. I am LOVING this quote lately, I am not even sure who it&#8217;s attributed to (if you know, tell me), but I saw it on IG and I want to frame it in my room! &#8220;When you realize everyone is a projection of how they feel internally, you take a whole lot less to heart. It doesn&#8217;t mean you need to accept disrespect, but it does mean you can go about your life, paying less attention to unnecessary behavior, and focus on better things instead.&#8221; Mic drop. Boom. Don&#8217;t let other people&#8217;s behavior (toward you especially) get you down&#8230; it&#8217;s all a projection of their inner world. Keep your side of the street clean, and the rest will unfold as it is meant to.</p>
<p>11. I went to my dear friend Lacy Phillip&#8217;s To Be Magnetic speaking tour on Saturday, and IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I am always so blown away by my friends and the work they put into the world. I thought I had soaked in everything I possibly could from the TBM world over the last many years, but I swear I was introduced to tons of new concepts and ways of looking at manifestation that led to an absolute breakthrough moment for me at the event. During the meditation (deep imagining is what she calls it), half the room was crying. I felt the energy of everyone so strongly. It was a very special event and I am still buzzing from it&#8230; AND, similar to Lacy, I don&#8217;t even go to events&#8230; EVER! Lol. It was worth it beyond. Also, tune into the episode we did together on TBB earlier this year, it was so so so so good. Our favorite that we&#8217;ve done together.</p>
<p>12. Whenever I feel sad about a friendship shifting or I feel I&#8217;m being treated poorly by someone I care about, I remind myself how lucky I am to have my ride or dies as well as Jonathan + Atticus. I have tried to really lower my expectations and/or not place expectations on people that are not in my *innermost circle*, because we can&#8217;t control anyone outside of ourselves. I also don&#8217;t have expectations on my inner circle but they just show up 110% regardless bc that&#8217;s who they are. I am really focused on paying attention to what is GOOD in my life and not placing as much thought on the things that are &#8220;not working.&#8221; I believe that is the difference between a happy life vs. an unhappy life. Food for thought. ♡</p>
<p>13. In case you missed it, we have a new launch date for TBB meditation platform!!! It will now be launching on 1.2.24!! A 201 date, of course. It just felt like too much to launch during the holidays. <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.ck.page/f6d4a89d4d" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Are you on the VIP waitlist yet</strong></a>?!?</p>
<p><i>Love you all so much!! Will send all the updates this week from KAUAIIII!!!! Yahoo!</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Helloooo, I hope everyone had the best Thanksgiving ever!! We had such a chill and lovely time with our families, we stayed in LA and I loved every moment of it. We are actually going to Kauai next week, ahh, and after just getting back from NYC it felt good to stay put for a little bit. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>Instead of doing a traditional holiday gift guide this year, I thought I would make today&#8217;s 12 things mostly about gift ideas!!! I will sprinkle some other stuff in too to make it conversational as always!</p>
<p>AND, if you are looking for more gift ideas, I posted a bunch to my IG stories this weekend and saved it to my &#8220;SHOP&#8221; highlight, so you can always look there for some additional ideas! Love you guys so much!!</p>
<h2>12 Things // Gift Ideas &amp; Beyond</h2>
<p>1. Ok I am writing this WHILE walking on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTXDKSVG?linkCode=ssc&amp;tag=onamzjordanyo-20&amp;creativeASIN=B0BTXDKSVG&amp;asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.D7FTDRLIJJUW&amp;ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin&amp;th=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>my walking pad</strong></a> &#8212; literally the best thing I have gotten for myself in so long. I have <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTXDKSVG?linkCode=ssc&amp;tag=onamzjordanyo-20&amp;creativeASIN=B0BTXDKSVG&amp;asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.D7FTDRLIJJUW&amp;ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin&amp;th=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>this one from Amazon</strong></a>, and it is so light and easy. It doesn&#8217;t do anything fancy (like it doesn&#8217;t go on an incline) but it&#8217;s perfect for walking while you work and also easy to store it under your bed, in a closet etc. when you&#8217;re not using it.</p>
<p>2. I use the walking pad with <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J41F9NS/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_0YCTDNKV7EWJQC803RWS?linkCode=ml1&amp;tag=jordanyounget-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>this standing desk</strong></a>! The BEST! I swear these two things have changed my life. I am on my computer so, so much for work and I was getting so sick of *sitting* all the time. My back and my body is very grateful for the movement. I have been trying to hit about 4 miles a day on the treadmill (plus just walking outside and being an active person), and I swear I feel like I am getting into better shape already.</p>
<p>3. If you are worried about EMF&#8217;s, you need a <a href="https://somavedic.com/discount/BalancedBlonde20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Somavedic</strong></a>. And if you&#8217;re not worried about EMF&#8217;s, you should probably do some research on it. I don&#8217;t want to freak people out, but living in such close proximity to ALL things WiFi is a lot for our sensitive systems. The Somavedic has changed our life &#8212; we have one in every room. It helps to harmonize your environment from all things EMF. It can also harmonize and structure your water, eliminate oxidative stress and free radicals, and harmonize the 4G/5G in the air. HUGE. If you&#8217;re a person living in this day and age (especially in a city, but also anywhere)&#8230; you need. The code <a href="https://somavedic.com/discount/BalancedBlonde20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>BALANCED20</strong></a> will get you 20% off through today.</p>
<p>4. Not a gift idea, but I want everyone to know that I have been updating my YouTube channel with the latest podcast eps! For a while I got really behind but now everything is up to date. We release video eps one week after the audio episode releases. Tune into our latest guests on video: <a href="https://youtu.be/oyo9syADZRw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lily Ashwell</strong></a>, <a href="https://youtu.be/KfNwM5qCADY" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dr. Russell Kennedy</strong></a>, <a href="https://youtu.be/SJOunRzRbVs" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Liz Moody</strong></a>, and beyond! &amp; subscribe to my YT to make my day!!! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>5. I made a FALL/WINTER FAVES list on <a href="https://rvlv.me/nnrJXB?navsrc=share_mylist" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>my Revolve page</strong></a> to make it easy to link to all of the clothes and outfits I have been wearing this season! I have never been a huge fashion person, but in recent years I have had a lot of fun with it. You can find a bunch of my fave things from boots, to sweaters, to holiday dresses &amp; beyond <a href="https://rvlv.me/nnrJXB?navsrc=share_mylist" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>HERE</strong></a>!</p>
<p>6. For anyone who is into red light therapy, I have two faves that have absolutely changed my life. The first is the <a href="https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&amp;oid=3&amp;affid=479&amp;discount=blonde" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LumeBox</strong></a>, which I use on my whole body. Red light helps so much with inflammation, is amazing for skin and all things healing, is the BEST for eczema, cell recovery, joint point, and beyond. My discount code <a href="https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&amp;oid=3&amp;affid=479&amp;discount=blonde" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>BLONDE</strong></a> will get you $250 off. A must, must, must. And would make an amazing gift for any wellness lover in your life!</p>
<p>7. My second red light go-to is for the face, and that&#8217;s the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+uVCrVKNV01TTXlWNcRKvKg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Omnilux red light face mask</strong></a>. I&#8217;ve already bought this as a gift for a bunch of people I love this season. ;))) I use mine literally every day. This has changed the game for my skin more than words can say.</p>
<p>8. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250249244/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_4FHDF5SACC0HBYNGX5VN?linkCode=ml1&amp;tag=jordanyounget-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>The best books for kids</strong></a>!!! We have all of the books in this series: astrology, chakras, meditation, and crystals. Attie LOVES them and now he knows everyone&#8217;s signs. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Truly the best, and makes an amazing gift or stocking stuffer!</p>
<p>9. If you&#8217;re an Amazon girly like me, I have all of my faves from this year <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-4f21141a" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>linked here</strong></a>!</p>
<p>10. I always love gifting a self-care treatment to my loved ones for the holidays. Some ideas: a massage, a sauna/cold plunge session, a tarot card reading, an astrology reading, a session with a medium!</p>
<p>11. Favorite kid&#8217;s clothing brands for holiday shopping: Rylee &amp; Cru, Zara Kids, Kyte Baby, Kith Kids, Burt&#8217;s Bees for the cutest pajamas!</p>
<p>12. <a href="https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blonde" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>TBB merch</strong></a> is still 20% off (our only sale of the year!!) with the code SAVE20 until Dec 4th!! Get some angel number or celestial club merch for your spiritual bestie this year, or for a self gift!!</p>
<p><strong><em>A few extra thoughts&#8230;!</em></strong></p>
<p>13. I am putting together our holiday cards to send out right now and I am just pinching myself because this is the life I have always dreamed of. Can hardly believe it&#8217;s playing out right before my eyes. &lt;3</p>
<p>14. Super random thought but I have a LOT of trouble working and focusing in the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas/Chanukah. I feel like this time of year is just for down time, family time, and a big recharge. Alas I still have so many things to do so I am putting the pedal to the metal. But does anyone else feel this way?! I need to know.</p>
<p><strong><i>Love you all! What did I miss? Any ideas for me?! I hope you are all having the best week ever. XO </i></strong></p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My loves, hiii! Happy Thanksgiving week &amp; hello, hello to my favorite humans. I am so sorry that I missed last week&#8217;s blog post &#8212; I believe it was my first time missing one all year! I was in NYC having some very exciting meetings for something I have been working on for nearly a decade, so I was full-on in the zone. I can&#8217;t wait to update on you guys on that, eek!</p>
<p>On that note, I saved up a bunch of things I wanted to tell you guys so today is going to be juicy. With that, let&#8217;s dive into this week&#8217;s 12 things. ♡</p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday //</h2>
<p>1. I am so happy that you loved the <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/2023/10/31/12-things-book-club-style-my-top-book-recs-&#x1f4da;/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>BOOK RECS</strong></a> post! I know that so many of you are big readers like me, so it was about time we did a big roundup of a bunch of my favorites. If you missed it, check it out. If you&#8217;ve read anything from the list, tell me below so we can discuss + dissect!!!</p>
<p>2. We are getting closer &amp; closer to the launch of TBB meditation platform! Are you on the <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.ck.page/f6d4a89d4d" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>VIP waitlist yet</strong></a>?! Those who are on the waitlist will be the first to know about the launch &amp; will get exclusive access to founding members pricing, huge wellness giveaways (!!), personalized one-on-ones with me, bonus content, and so much more. If you are looking for a meditation platform that has it all&#8230; you&#8217;re gonna love. I am so flipping excited.</p>
<p>3. The meditation platform launch got pushed a bit because of what I was doing in NY!! I have been so focused on bringing that to life, that the meditations are going to end up taking a few more weeks. I want everything to be perfect when it comes to life. From design, to sound (specifically created binaural beats just for these!), to user experience, to launch photos and beyond, I just want it to be the best experience overall that it can possibly be.</p>
<p>4. What are you all doing for Thanksgiving?! We will be in LA this year with Jonathan&#8217;s family. I am excited to stay in town, especially after traveling last week. I love this holiday so much. I feel like it is such a cozy time of year and really begins the season where everyone finally slows down. It&#8217;s kind of the time of year that is most aligned with living as a Reflector (in Human Design), because people actually get why we shouldn&#8217;t be go-go-go and constantly available during this time!! I love it.</p>
<p>5. I am still so sad over the passing of Matthew Perry!!!! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f62d.png" alt="😭" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> I haven&#8217;t addressed it here yet but I have been SHOOK. I know I am not the only one who literally felt like I knew him, because <em>Friends </em>has such a special place in so many people&#8217;s hearts. I particularly became a diehard Matthew fan, even beyond his Chandler character, when I read his memoir &amp; saw him on Diane Sawyer last year. It was so clear how much he was struggling &amp; it just breaks me that he didn&#8217;t get to experience peace before he died. He will forever be in our hearts. I have been loving seeing the tributes from all of his former cast-mates. ♡</p>
<p>6. Do you guys want me to do a holiday gift guide this year?! I LOVE making them but I also feel like they&#8217;re so so overdone they&#8217;re literally a dime a dozen. But you know a TBB one will be special and massively TBB approved, holistic, magical, all the things. I am leaning toward YES but tell me your thoughts?!</p>
<p>7. Speaking of, if you&#8217;re looking to shop <strong><a href="https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blonde" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TBB merch (angel number collection hellloooo!!)</a> </strong>for holiday gifties, we are offering 20% off this week with code SAVE20 for Black Friday / Cyber Monday! Get on it, babies!! I even ordered a bunch to give for gifts hehe. Will be doing a big giveaway with it in the soon-to-launch meditation platform for SURE!</p>
<p>8. I am SUPER into my <a href="https://boncharge.com/products/infrared-sauna-blanket?rfsn=7678576.be8ea1&amp;amp;variant=41699335569590" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bon Charge infrared sauna blanket</strong></a> right now!!!! Picture this: A luxurious cocoon of warmth envelops you as infrared technology works magic to soothe your muscles and melt away stress&#8230; like, excuse me?! Imagine the detoxifying benefits that can rejuvenate your skin, promote better circulation, and boost your overall well-being &#8212; it&#8217;s amazing. I have been living in this since getting home from NYC. They&#8217;re offering an amazing 25% off sale on their Sauna Blanket &#8212; BEST time to get one! Your body and soul will thank you for it. Head to <a href="https://boncharge.com/products/infrared-sauna-blanket?rfsn=7678576.be8ea1&amp;amp;variant=41699335569590" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>their site</strong></a>, and the discount will automatically apply to your order.</p>
<p>9. Being back in New York last week was literal magic. I stayed in Meatpacking, just a few blocks away from where I lived in the west village back when I started this blog. It was like taking a trip down memory lane. It always makes me so nostalgic to be there, and going back for the first time since pre-pandemic (WILD) &amp; especially now that I am a mom and my life has shifted so much was really such a trip. I loved seeing all my friends and just had the best time ever.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Restaurant highlights in NYC this time around!!!</strong> I LOVED abcV, such a staple. It&#8217;s a must in NY and is the vegetarian, high vibrational take on the iconic ABC kitchen. I also looooved Sant Ambreous, such an amazing spot in the West Village. You feel like Carrie Bradshaw sitting outside having a leisurely midday lunch. They have a few locations but I love the one on Perry Street. At Sant Ambreous, get the salmon with mashed potatoes!! Other winners: Souen Macrobiotic (my fave of all time for true healthy food), Jack&#8217;s Wife Freda for just a good vibe in the best neighborhood (only decent food though), Barbuto in Meatpacking for a delish upscale dinner, &amp; Morandi in the West Village for a local&#8217;s fave Italian spot.</p>
<p>11. For juice/smoothies in NY, Juice Press always but if I am being honest I feel like it&#8217;s gone downhill/very much commercialized since I used to live there and go daily. And for the BEST matcha with homemade cashew mylk, Dr. Smood!! They used to have decaf but apparently they don&#8217;t anymore? Honestly there were so many more places I wanted to go to but didn&#8217;t have the time on this trip!!! I had a lot of room service at my hotel because I was a worker-bee / writing machine the whole time I was there!</p>
<p>12. We took our family holiday card photos on Sunday!! I am SOOO excited to see them. We did them on the beach in Manhattan Beach, and it was a beautiful sunny day. Not quite the winter-y vibe I pictured on the cards but it&#8217;s very LA so I can&#8217;t complain. Attie had a blast and was so happy and cute the whole time. PS he is talking so much now I cannot get over it. It is the cutest thing in the world.</p>
<p>13. A bonus one today&#8230; I just got off the phone with my Chinese medicine doctor, and she is amazing. She is a true intuitive. I like to call her my psychic witch doctor. She. has helped me SO much.</p>
<p><em>How is everyone doing?!?! Love you all so much! XO &amp; happy holidays!</em></p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hellloooo, and happy 12 Things Tuesday! I am so excited to chat with you guys today. I feel like there is a lot of fun stuff happening and lots of cool little product/brand/life discoveries I have made lately that I can spill the tea on today&#8230; so shall we get started?!</p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday, Baby! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f485-1f3fc.png" alt="💅🏼" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></h2>
<p>1. I just did a photoshoot in Venice for the <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.ck.page/f6d4a89d4d" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MEDITATION PLATFORM</strong></a>, launching SO SOON! Guess who the photog was?! My dad. I love getting to drag my parents into my work stuff, and my dad has proven to be one of the best photographers out there ever since I started blogging, mostly because he is so meticulous about symmetry, background, perfectionism, etc. He is the best. I shared some BTS of us on IG stories &amp; TikTok &#8212; he was hysterical because apparently he had no idea that he was the photographer until we literally got started. The owner of the photo studio left after checking us in and my dad was like &#8220;&#8230;where is she going?&#8221; &amp; I said &#8220;what did you think you were doing here?!&#8221; and he said &#8220;I thought I was just here to hand you stuff!!!&#8221; <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f923.png" alt="🤣" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Lmao. Everyone needs a Byron.</p>
<p><em>( Sign up to be a <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.ck.page/f6d4a89d4d" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>VIP on the meditation platform here</strong></a>, where you will be the first to know about it, you&#8217;ll receive launch day only pricing, be entered for giveaways &amp; founding members perks, &amp; so much more !!! ) </em></p>
<p>2. On that note, I have been hearing from you guys saying that you miss seeing my dad &amp; HUDDY on my stories lately!!! I feel like I started sharing less for some reason because the algorithm changed so much and I felt like I should keep my stories more *minimal* but screw that &#8212; let&#8217;s go back to sharing all the fun day in the life stuff, especially my fam because they&#8217;re amazing. And btw, no one&#8217;s fan clubs are bigger than Byron &amp; Hudson. I am also trying to share more on TikTok again, which I originally stepped away from because it felt like too much to keep updating it &#8212; but I feel like I am in a season of loving it again.</p>
<p>3. Speaking of my dad/Huddy&#8230; when J and I went away this past weekend for our anniversary, my dad and Atticus fed Hudson while we were gone. And this is the best thing ever because my dad is notoriously NOT an animal person. Remember when I first got Huddy 8+ years ago and my dad demanded that I take him back to the shelter or else my parents would &#8220;never visit me again&#8221;??? Well, my mom now loves Huddy and I finally got my dad to admit that he &#8220;LIKES&#8221; him. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> But the truth is, I know he loves him. My dad leaps at the opportunity to feed him, and gets mad at me anytime there&#8217;s not food in his bowl. Huddy would be extremely overweight if my dad was in charge- lol. Because Huds LOVES to eat but we keep him on a diet of organic food + lots of exercise to keep him healthy &amp; spry. ;)))</p>
<p>4. Our anniversary weekend away was <em>MAGIC!!!!</em> We stayed at the 1 Hotel in West Hollywood for a little staycation, and we unplugged so, so deeply. I didn&#8217;t even realize how *fast* I had been moving until we got there to relax &amp; recharge. We got massages, ordered room service for every meal, read books cover to cover, laid by the pool, and Jonathan slept a TON (he ate a THC gummy lol). I didn&#8217;t sleep well because for some reason I had a massive allergic reaction &amp; was covered in full-body hives but that&#8217;s neither here nor there lol because it was still an AMAZING getaway.</p>
<p>5. It was our first time being away from Atticus overnight *together* (we have both been away separately), other than my cousin&#8217;s wedding but that doesn&#8217;t really count in my eyes because we were with like 100+ family members that time lol. As much as we missed Attie &amp; looked at photos/videos of him 24/7, it was so special to be together just the two of us. I highly recommend nurturing the bond between you &amp; your partner after having kids &#8212; we can &amp; will be better about it also now that we&#8217;ve experienced this weekend away. It felt like falling in love with my husband all over again!!</p>
<p>6. Cannot believe we&#8217;ve been married for four years. Where is the time going? Also, every day I count my lucky stars that we got married pre-pandemic because having a 200+ person wedding was just normal at that time &amp; we had absolutely nothing to worry about &#8212; we *ALMOST* were gonna get married April 2020 instead of November 2019 and we all know how that would have turned out&#8230;</p>
<p>7. We just got a new air purifier from Air Doctor, and Jonathan changed out the filters on all of our existing air purifiers. I&#8217;ve gotta say&#8230; find a man who will put calendar invites in his phone to change the air filters every 3 months so you NEVER have to think about it on your own ever!!! Because I know I simply wouldn&#8217;t think about it. The filter was SO GROSS after 3 months of dust buildup, check out this video to see what it looked like!! &amp; use the code <a href="https://airdoctorpro.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BALANCED for up to $300 of any air purifier on Air Doctor</a> &#8212; the best of the best.</p>
<p>8. On the note of products that rock, you need to get your hands on all things Somavedic, especially if you are an EMF-cautious girly like I am. Somavedic protects your home/body from EMF&#8217;s (electromagnetic frequency/radiation from electronics/WiFi/all the things), it harmonizes your water, creates a coherent field spanning more than 2,800+ square feet, creates a protective bubble &amp; penetrates walls, can help you feel more energized and calm, it&#8217;s amazing. I recently got the GOLD model &amp; it&#8217;s amazing!!!! It is stunning and made of actual 24-carat gold. U<a href="https://somavedic.com/discount/BalancedBlonde)" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>se my link here &amp; the code BalancedBlonde for a discount!!</strong></a></p>
<p>9. I have been super duper into pumpkin spice iced lattes lately &amp; I am sad that October is over. My fave month of the year for many, many reasons. But I kind of love that Alfred is doing a &#8220;pumpkin slice&#8221; latte because it&#8217;s basically the same thing but Thanksgiving version. My current order is cold brew with pumpkin cold foam. Helllooooo, heaven!</p>
<p>10. I AM GOING TO NYC NEXT WEEK &amp; I AM SO EXCITED! My old home &amp; stomping grounds! I haven&#8217;t been back in four years and I miss it so much. Going for some exciting meetings, some fun pod interviews, to write my heart out, and to see friends. &lt;3</p>
<p>11. Its 11:11 right now &amp; I am on number 11&#8230; magic? I think YES.</p>
<p>12. I read John Stamos&#8217;s memoir cover to cover while on our staycation this past weekend and it is SO good. I love him but I wouldn&#8217;t consider myself a super-fan of his so I wasn&#8217;t sure if I&#8217;d love it as much as I did. But he was so honest, so raw, so open the whole way through and it was just beautiful. I love his relationship with his family (him and his parents melt me) and also his extremely touching chapters about Bob Saget. AND of course, anything Mary-Kate &amp; Ashley I legit live for&#8230; so I was scanning the book for any &amp; all Olsen twin mentions, and there were some good ones! <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250890977/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_6WJGDZVJ42JQ9ES3YXJW?linkCode=ml1&amp;tag=jordanyounget-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Get your hands on it here</strong></a>!!</p>
<p><strong><i>Hope everyone is having an amazing week!! How are my fave peeps?! xx</i></strong></p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hellooooo, my favorite people! I am currently in Cabo celebrating my 33rd birthday! I am so excited to be here! I wrote out today&#8217;s 12 things Tuesday before left so I wouldn&#8217;t leave y&#8217;all hanging even though I am thrilled to be taking a little computer detox while away (SO NEEDED for us all), so let&#8217;s just get right into it!!</p>
<p><strong>PS happy birthday to all of my fellow mid October Libras!! I love you all so much!! &amp; birthdays make me so nostalgic in general, so thanks a million for being here. You are all my people, truly.</strong></p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday! &lt;3</h2>
<p>1. Writing this beforehand, but by the time you read this I will be lounging on the beach with my familyyyy, my husband, and my baby soaking in my final days of being 32!! So grateful for this time away &amp; a much needed reset. So passionate about reminding all of us (myself included) how important it is to take down days &amp; live the slow life, soaking in the present moment, wherever we can.</p>
<p>2. I made the YUMMIEST pumpkin spice creamer [vegan, low glycemic, homemade, won&#8217;t break the bank] and I need everyone to know about it!!! To make it, I blended up 1/4 cup almond milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (can also do stevia if you&#8217;re wanting fully sugar-free) &amp; 1 teaspoon cinnamon! Then I just pour it over my iced cold brew and voila, it&#8217;s decadent, it&#8217;s delicious, it&#8217;s giving October in all of its glory!!!!</p>
<p>3. I have been on a roll creating meditations for you guys for the new meditation platform launching in about a month&#8230; and I cannot even tell you how excited I am about this creation. It&#8217;s going to be an official membership where we can all hang, connect with each other, channel, go deep, meditate, heal, alleviate anxiety, work on chronic illness, do astrology forecasts, ALL THE THINGS. I cannot remember a time when I felt like an offering was going to be such a game changer.</p>
<p>4. To start bringing these meditations to life, I took some time away last week on a little staycation in Topanga. When it&#8217;s time to bring my deepest creations to life, I have to get into my own zone and bubble to get it rolling. At home I am too tempted to play with Atticus, clean the house, get distracted with anything + everything BUT creating. I highly recommend doing something like this if you have a project that you&#8217;ve been manifesting to life. This staycation was everything. But I need to tell you guys the awful story of the first night in the worst airbnb of my life. Immediately moved to a diff one. #bohemianbougie for liiifeee.</p>
<p>5. Speaking of manifesting&#8230; the manifestation medi&#8217;s in the meditation platform are unreal. I actually have been playing them on repeat to help rewire my brain, break old patterns and habits, and attune with the frequency of stepping up my GAME to the next level.</p>
<p>6. I cannot believe I haven&#8217;t written about this yet&#8230;. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0525562648?linkCode=ssc&amp;tag=onamzjordanyo-20&amp;creativeASIN=0525562648&amp;asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2L6ODZQFHSNT7&amp;ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d_asin" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>HIDDEN VALLEY ROAD</strong></a>. If you like books about family history, mental illness, real life journalism deep dives&#8230; omg you will love. This is about the Galvin family who had 12 children, and 6 out of their 12 kids developed severe schizophrenia. This book was phenomenal and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the psyche of society. What took place inside the house on Hidden Valley Road was so extraordinary that the Galvins became one of the first families to be studied by the National Institute of Mental Health&#8230; UNREAL. &lt;3</p>
<p>7. For anyone who struggles with &#8220;tech neck&#8221; the way I do (ugh, it&#8217;s not pretty), I just ordered <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5L7QKYH/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_WMPABZ69WJ0K938B9XJS?linkCode=ml1&amp;tag=jordanyounget-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>this contraption on Amazon</strong></a>!! I am liking it so far. I will let you know ow it works!! I have been developing a small neck hump that is driving me insane and I am so, so, so determined to strengthen my mobility again and get it to go away!!!</p>
<p>8. SPEAKING OF&#8230; I recently updated my Amazon shop page and I have a major list of favorites for you <a href="https://amzn.to/3rpWDJ4" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>HERE</strong></a>! That list of 2023 faves is everything. Musts that I cannot live without &#8212; from MediHeal collagen sheet masks (to die for) to the magnesium that has saved my life, to my favorite colostrum (so glad this is having a moment finally) annnnddd so many good things for kids, immunity, red light, home, and beyond! You&#8217;re gonna love.</p>
<p>9. Having been thinking about this a lot lately: the importance of a mama triiiiibeeee is HUGE. My sweet friend Celeste made <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx53tFxx7OS/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>this amazing video</strong></a> last week of our time together recently with a little group of our mom friends &amp; babies. Use her video or the comments of this blog post below as a resource to find some mom friends in your area if you are feeling like you need a little boost &amp; need to find your community. Connecting with other moms on this journey has truly been everything and is what has kept me SANE!</p>
<p>10. Being in the goddamn flow is the best feeling in the world. I wrote about this a bit last week, but I have been so, so, so productive in the last few weeks and I swear it&#8217;s because I have tapped back into that feeling of divine flow. Where work comes in more effortlessly, and doing the things I love feel more like joy again rather than hard work. Even for the little tedious tasks I don&#8217;t typically look forward to, I have been asking myself: <em>Where can I lighten this up? Where can I find the joy and levity in this again? </em>I feel been over the moon to be finding my flow again. With the current astrology forecast, things are especially intense but there is also a lot of room for passion, flow, and play. Have you been feeling in the flow lately?</p>
<p>11. I am absolutely loving the messages &amp; photos from you guys rocking your hoodies, tees, &amp; the <a href="https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blonde/products/balanced-blonde-angels-white-mug" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ANGELS ARE WITH YOU mug</strong></a> from <a href="https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blonde" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>our new angel number collection</strong></a>! We have released a handful more hoodies, but when they are gone they&#8217;re gone!! These would make amazing holiday gifts, with all of the magical holidays coming uppppp. Also a fab gift for any Libra, Scorpio, Sag, or Cap in these upcoming bday seasons! LOOK at my gorgeous Samantha Demarkles rocking hers!!! Get your tee to match her <a href="https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blonde/products/thisisyoursigntshirt" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>HERE</strong></a>!</p>

<p><strong><em>12. My favorite birthday tradition is to have all of the people close to me set an intention for the year ahead (we call it the Jordan New Year&#8230; you can never have enough reasons to set intentions, my besties) so please do so below and let&#8217;s keep each other inspired!! My intention is to keep pursuing my dreams with wild abandon, to not let anxiety get the best of me as I continue to wean off of my medication, to grow and expand our family, to be the most present &amp; fun mom and wife imaginable, to let my inner child shiiiine, and to launch the new TBB meditation platform in the most special and exciting way possible. AND SO IT IS.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>ALL MY LOVE &amp; THEN SOME!!!!</em></strong></p>
<p>Xoxoxo,</p>
<p>Jordan</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello to my sweetest humans in the world, happy Tuesday, and happy October! Fall is undoubtedly my favorite time of year, and October is my favorite month. Not <em>just </em>because I&#8217;m a Libra, but also because I love when the weather starts to change, the leaves start to fall, life gets a little cozier, and everyone starts to get excited for the holidays. And now being a mama, Halloween is so fun to think about &amp; I just love being festive with all the things.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s your favorite month or season? I always love hearing stuff like that from everyone! Maybe I will have my Gen Z assistant show me how to include a poll in this blog post so next time I can poll ya on something fun. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><strong><em>Alright, shall we get into today&#8217;s 12 things?!</em></strong></p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday, Baby!</h2>
<p>1. Today I am feeling sooo organized &amp; on top of my shit, because I have my journal opened up to a lengthy to-do list and I am working my way through it quite nicely. &amp; it&#8217;s only 10:43am (on a Monday &#8211; writing this a day before it comes out!) so I am feeling productive and on top of it. A welcome feeling since I kind of slept terribly last night. Jonathan was at a Coldplay concert with his brother and he got home at midnight and it kind of threw off our whole nighttime routine!!! Since I am such a routine girly now.</p>
<p>2. In fact I am feeling so organized and on top of it this morning, I texted my chiropractor&#8217;s office to see if I could push my standing appointment by an hour so that I could stay in the flow. It is such a good feeling to be in the flooooww. Emails, getting back to people, morning coffee, podcast research for my guests tomorrow, and something VERY effing exciting which I will share below&#8230;</p>
<p>3. This morning, I sent off my BOOK PROPOSAL to my literary agent!!! This has been such a long time coming. One of my best friends Krista (you guys know her from the pod &amp; her own amazing pod, <em>Almost 30</em>) reminded me to celebrate and be in this moment. It&#8217;s not just the work I have done on the proposal this year&#8230; it&#8217;s the <em>years </em>that led up to this point. It&#8217;s the sickness and then the healing journey. It&#8217;s my flipping life. And to finish it, especially when I went through many years of thinking I never ever would be able to harness my inner power to do so, feels like the biggest relief &amp; breath of fresh air imaginable. The relief is palpable. I am so excited to see where this journey takes me&#8230; sending it to her is only just the beginning!</p>
<p>4. I have said this before but I do not feel I have a mysterious bone in my body where I can be one of those bloggers who keeps their book journey a secret until a deal is signed, or a pre-order is released. I much prefer to take you all along for the ride. Just promise me you&#8217;ll still care and be equally excited when the pre-orders finally become available!!!! &lt;3</p>
<p>5. Friends like this. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f979.png" alt="🥹" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> When I texted a few of my besties that I sent in my proposal, they were so supportive. It really reminded me to bask in this feeling of accomplishment and joy. I am so grateful.</p>

<p>6. OBVI I turned it in on a 201 day!!! EEK!!! Which reminds me, Libra season is the perfect time to shop the <a href="https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blonde/products/201crewtshirt" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>201 Crew</strong></a> &amp; the <a href="https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blonde" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>whole angel number collection</strong></a>!!!</p>
<p>7. And for those who have already shopped and have been super patient to receive your hoodies, they finally went out from the warehouse yesterday!!!! Tees and mugs went out earlier but hoodies needed to arrive to the warehouse first because they are the only thing we didn&#8217;t do Print on Demand for (because I was such a stickler about text sizing on the back I wanted to invest more and get them printed beforehand). When I tell you I would like to fly there myself and pack, ship, and send these all to you, trust me when I say that was about to happen. I am so sorry for any delay. I wish I was able to have more control over that part of the process. But it&#8217;s probably good that I remain on the creative side of the street. &lt;3</p>
<p>8. Jonathan and I have been watching SUITS on Netflix and we are so so obsessed. It&#8217;s so fun to have a light-hearted but still very well-written &amp; smart show to watch together at the end of a lonnngg day and just laugh and be together. I love it. Who knew I would be so in love with Harvey Specter &amp; Mike Ross?! Who else watches?!</p>
<p>9. Watching Suits also makes me finally a tad bit interested in Meghan Markle. I swear I was one of the only people for so, so long who did not have a care in the world about her or anything royal for that matter. I am not sure why the thought of hearing about her always bored me so much. But now watching her on Suits, I get the hype. I am more invested now. Now I&#8217;d love to know all the things about her &#8212; lol!! Typical me.</p>
<p>10. Speaking of Jonathan&#8230; whooooo has listened to our episode together from last week?! It was SUCH A SPECIAL one, and probably my favorite that we have done together. We talk couple&#8217;s therapy, divine masculinity, parenting, finances in marriage, how we knew each other were the one, and so much more. Episode 335 of the show, wherever you listen to podcasts!</p>
<p>11. &amp; speaking of the show&#8230; we also had a bonus episode go live last Friday, a solo!! My top 10 tips for upleveling your life. It is a favorite as well. Just really a life update in the form of something I hope is super valuable, helpful &amp; tangible for you. Who has tuned in? Who plans to?!</p>
<p>12. We are going to CABO next week for my BIRTHDAYYYY! I am so elated!!!! I can&#8217;t believe it!! Only one more blog post before I turn 33 &amp; enter my Jesus year, my lucky angel number year, I am ready for it. ;))) !!!!</p>
<p>13. Ps the main image of this post is my designed October Intentions, which I used to post monthly!!! I still write them every month, every full moon, every new moon&#8230; if not more often than that! Should I do an intentions breakdown post for you guys this week!?!?</p>]]></content:encoded>
