										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>GUYYYYS! I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been nearly a year and a half since I posted on THIS BLOG. A.k.a, formerly my <em>only blog. </em>A.k.a, the place where I&#8217;ve built my own little hub and magical space on the internet where you all have supported me for the last 13 years and then some.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been here for all that time or a short time or anything in between&#8230; THANK YOU. You make TBB what it is. You make me what I am. I am the most grateful girl in the world and I GENUINELY feel like the luckiest human on earth.</p>
<p>Which is why it pains me to think, when new people visit my site, that perhaps they don&#8217;t realize that I STILL BLOG EVERY DAY&#8230; I just do it on <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com">Substack</a>!!!!</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-22644 size-full" src="https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/innerchild.jpeg" alt="" width="1320" height="470" srcset="https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/innerchild.jpeg 1320w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/innerchild-300x107.jpeg 300w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/innerchild-1024x365.jpeg 1024w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/innerchild-768x273.jpeg 768w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/innerchild-128x46.jpeg 128w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/innerchild-520x185.jpeg 520w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/innerchild-1040x370.jpeg 1040w" sizes="(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px" /></p>
<p>&amp; it&#8217;s quickly become my most favorite space on the internet. Like beyond beyond beyond beyond and I need you to join me over there!</p>
<p><strong><em>No seriously, I received an email from an old reader the other day saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m just so sad you haven&#8217;t blogged since June, 2024, I miss knowing what&#8217;s going on in your life,&#8221; and I was like&#8230; WHAT????</em></strong></p>
<p>But it also makes sense because if you&#8217;re not on social media or on my <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com">Substack email list</a> which I like to call my VIP besties, then yes &#8211; how would you know I&#8217;m now blogging over there?!</p>
<p>Which means you may also not know that since we last chatted on this blog, I HAVE HAD ANOTHER BABY! Meet Delilah Jane, Atticus Story&#8217;s little sister. <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;" /> Her <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com/p/birth-story-bringing-delilah-jane?utm_source=publication-search">birth story</a> can be found here!!</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-22643 size-large" src="https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/JordanAlbrecht-335-1024x688.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="688" srcset="https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/JordanAlbrecht-335-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/JordanAlbrecht-335-300x201.jpg 300w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/JordanAlbrecht-335-768x516.jpg 768w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/JordanAlbrecht-335-1536x1031.jpg 1536w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/JordanAlbrecht-335-2048x1375.jpg 2048w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/JordanAlbrecht-335-128x86.jpg 128w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/JordanAlbrecht-335-520x349.jpg 520w, https://thebalancedblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/JordanAlbrecht-335-1040x698.jpg 1040w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>So yes guys here is the vibe: I am still blogging, and I&#8217;m actually blogging more than ever before. I am telling suchhhh fun deep dive stories over on my Substack!! I feel like it&#8217;s igniting my inner child&#8217;s soul again for the first time in so long and it&#8217;s truly been life changing.</p>
<p>The truth is, blogs have been a &#8216;dying breed&#8217; for the last 5-7 years. Which is really sad for those of us &#8220;bloggers who blog&#8221; and &#8220;writers who write&#8221; because acclimating to the new social landscape of quickie TikTok dancing videos and the ever-changing algorithm has just been&#8230; not fun.</p>
<p>So Substack has made blogging cool again, OFFICIALLY, and it&#8217;s been amazing.</p>
<h3>Here are some of my most popular Substack posts that you may want to start with:</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com/p/the-80k-mindset-shift-holy-shit-substack">The $80k Mindset Shift: Holy Shit, Substack Is Becoming My Full-Time Thing!</a></li>
<li><a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com/p/35-things-ive-learned-in-35-years">35 Things I&#8217;ve Learned in 35 Years</a> (my yearly post &#8211; you&#8217;ll remember these if you&#8217;re an OG!)</li>
<li><a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com/p/i-tried-peptides-for-chronic-illness">I Tried Peptides for Healing Chronic Illness. What Happened Surprised Me.</a></li>
<li><a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com/p/the-complexities-of-being-a-highly">The Complexities of Being a Highly Sensitive Human</a></li>
<li><a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com/p/overcoming-my-darkest-night-of-the">Overcoming My Darkest Night of the Soul Yet</a></li>
<li><a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com/p/the-marriage-plot-twist-no-one-prepares?utm_source=publication-search">The Marriage Plot Twist No One Prepares You For</a></li>
<li><a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com/p/the-truth-of-microdosing-glp-1s-for?utm_source=publication-search">The Truth of Microdosing GLP-1&#8217;s for Healing</a></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8230;AND SO MUCH MORE!</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re still here for the blogging, the juice, the deep dives, the fun old school TBB content, the newer content I have for you guys about everything from healing chronic illness at the root (peptides!!), to mindset shifts and being able to scale my blog to become (almost, one day!) my full-time thing, the honest heart spills and the 12 things Tuesday&#8217;s and allllll the things, head over to Substack!!</p>
<p>On <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com/subscribe">Substack you&#8217;ll find the options</a> to be a paid reader or a free reader, which of course is totally up to you. I post at least one free post a week, like I always used to do on this blog. And then for the deep dive content, the long form think pieces, the juicy and intimate content where we really *go there* (think of it like a speakeasy or a secret, VIP club) as well as the ability to join our subscriber group chat &amp; beyond, that&#8217;s for paid subscribers!</p>
<p>As always, I have epic tons of free content on my <a href="http://instagram.com/thebalancedblonde">Instagram</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/TBBpodcast">podcast</a>, <a href="http://YouTube.com/thebalancedblonde">YouTube</a>, and then some, so I am always here to connect with even if you don&#8217;t choose to join us on the paid Sub. But I have a feeling if you&#8217;re here, on this old school blog, then the $9/month (like a coffee!??) is worth it to you. And you&#8217;ll also be supporting my lifelong dream, and giving me the ability to put my ALL and then some into the platform for you guys.</p>
<p><strong>Ok! That&#8217;s it for today!! What are your thoughts?! Tell me everything!! Have you been keeping up with the blog and pod and all the things, or is it time to get reacquainted? Any topic requests for me?! I LOVE YOU ALL. xx </strong></p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My loves!!</p>
<p>OMG, what a time it has been. What an initiation. What an absolute&#8230; shit show, to be honest. Just wow wow. If you have been following along on Instagram, <a href="http://thequantummethod.co">The Quantum Method</a>, the podcast, anywhere, then you know <em>the last month has been a wild ride. </em></p>
<p>Really, the last four months. But we will get to that.</p>
<p>For now, if you want to hear the whole journey and then some, subscribe to my <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Substack</a>. I will be writing all of my health updates, life updates, birth story of baby girl (soon, soon, when she comes!) and more over there on the paid version. After blogging for the last ELEVEN years full-time, it feels very fitting to reach the point where I feel it&#8217;s time to get paid for some of my posts. Especially the longer, juicy, life changing ones.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s start there, shall we? &amp; don&#8217;t worry, lots to come on this OG TBB blog too, the way it has always been, but we are just expanding into even more content which feels really, really gooood. &amp; updates to come on the podcast from me, AND from Jonathan who is guest hosting in the coming weeks and you guys are in for such a treat!!!</p>
<h2><strong><em>12 Things Tuesday!</em></strong></h2>
<p>1. Riffing off of what I&#8217;ve shared above. Writers getting paid to write. Creators getting paid to create. It makes so much sense, no? If you love what I share, and want to support in the easiest and most accessible/affordable way, <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>subscribe to my Substack</strong></a>! (I chose the lowest price point possible for a reason.)</p>
<p>I also love the accessibility (for readers) of blogging for free, so for anyone who doesn&#8217;t feel aligned to pay for writing I will still be blogging here and there on my site, and on the free version of my <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Substack</strong></a>. But eventually things will shift, and I feel really good about that. In fact, I have never felt so clear or so unapologetic about anything. The internet has changed *so much* over the last decade plus that I have been sharing online, and I feel excited about growing and evolving with the times. If you haven&#8217;t heard of Substack writers have been using it for a few years now so I am not starting the trend by any means &#8212; as usual, I am actually very late to the trend! <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;" /><em> Tons of free content will still live all over my socials, this site + my weekly podcast (almost 400 episodes for you over the years so far) though for anyone who prefers. </em></p>
<p>2. I feel as if in many ways, Gen Z has got it all figured out a lot more than us millennials and above. <a href="https://www.voguebusiness.com/story/consumers/gen-z-broke-the-marketing-funnel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">See this article for deets</a>. I love having my amazing right hand woman Shelby on my team who is the quintessential Gen Z gal. She has taught me so much about the value of subscriptions, Substack, TikTok, resonating with an audience in this day &amp; age&#8217;s landscape, current-day marketing and social media, and so much more. I have no ego about how much the times have shifted. If it were still 2013 and someone asked me how to grow an Instagram, I could give you the BEST step-by-step formula ever. I probably still could for today actually, I just don&#8217;t have any desire to follow that formula anymore. <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;" /> So evolving where I can, and where it makes sense, feels really good and spot on.</p>
<p>3. Anyone, and I mean anyonnneeee, who has the audacity to complain about a creator putting value on their work probably doesn&#8217;t understand the fact that this is a 24/7 job. For so many years I spent more money to create content than I made on it, just because I love it and I love providing value to you guys. There is so much value in free content which is why I have put it out every day for over 10 years, but there is also so much value in owning your worth and knowing that what you have to say makes a real difference. I am not just speaking for myself here &#8212; I really want you to all think about that in your lives and how you show up for yourself in those ways. Do you value yourself? How can you value yourself more? How can you put more value INTO what you create, so that it is worth charging for, if you so desire? These are things that will help you make the ultimate *quantum LEAPPPP*!!</p>
<p>4. I want to lay in bed and write all day every day. It&#8217;s my favorite thing in the world. It&#8217;s what I was born to do. So that, my friends, is what we are gonna do. <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. OMG&#8230; the last 3+ weeks of my life. Holy mother effing shit. Let me share with you the first paragraph from my <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Substack</strong></a> post yesterday to just give you a glimpse about where I have been&#8230;</p>
<p>6. <em>Snippet from my post yesterday on Substack: </em>&#8220;My loves, hi. WOW. What an initiation these last several weeks have been. And that is the understatement of the century. Maybe I should really begin by saying: <em>Allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m Jordan, hi, and I am absolutely nothing like who I have been before. I have died and been reborn. Again. Life will never look the same to me again. I am brand new, and I’m never looking back. </em></p>
<p>This is going to be an emotional one to write, and one I have been writing in my head again and again for the last few weeks. Today is the first day I can even *sit up* in bed, so that feels like a huge win, and I will take that as my opportunity to write to you guys. Pour my heart out. Do the damn thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>7. <strong>Yes, I almost died from a colorectal crisis. If anyone has ever been there, you get me and you are not alone.</strong></p>
<p>8. My daughter is coming so soon&#8230; oh my WORD!!!! A matter of weeks!! She has a new due date now, too. &lt;3 I cannot wait for her to be in the world!!!!</p>
<p>9. We have had so many special and amazing guests on the podcast lately. Nico Tortorella, Eric Roberts (astrology forecast for the summer!), Shadi Bakour of Pathwater, Christy Dawn on regenerative fashion, Dr. Steven Gundry on gut health, lots of good solos, and more. Tune in if you&#8217;ve been a bit behind. I myself have been so behind on some of my favorite pods and I am very excited to start tuning back into them more.</p>
<p>10. On that note, I cannot wait to listen to Kathy Hilton on TSC podcast&#8230; my idol!! I am ready for some good Kathy entertainment! She was on there with her daughter Nicky Hilton and I can&#8217;t wait to hear them together.</p>
<p>11. After what I have been through in the last several weeks, I would not be surviving or alive today without my husband, my mom, my dad, and Atticus. And Hudson and my future daughter. I am so thankful for them I just want to shout it from the rooftops forever. Family is everything and then some.</p>
<p>12. What I have been going though these last few weeks has also really, really reminded me of the power of community. Our friends and family who have shown up for us, cooked us meals, sent flowers, sent texts / voice messages, called and checked in&#8230; it just means the world. I have said it before and I will say it again, but anyone who has been aware of what has been going on and has not checked in on my family, I want to thank them too, because I now know where to allocate my energy and where not to. I have never felt such a fire or desire to show up for my people when they need me most, and my friends/fam have shown me that great gift during this time more than ever, ever, ever before. &lt;3</p>
<p>13. Bonus 13: we have lots of summer newness coming on <a href="http://thequantummethod.co">TQM</a>, who is ready to quantum leap?!</p>
<p><strong><i>How are all of my favorite people doing?! I love &amp; miss you guys so much! Give me some updates on you!! And be sure to subscribe to my </i><a style="font-style: italic;" href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Substack</a><i> for all of the details on what has been going on this last month, and if you prefer to listen to an audio version, join <a href="http://thequantummethod.co">The Quantum Method</a> to listen to our latest pep talk where I also share all of the details. &lt;3 Love you all so much. So much goodness to come. I am infinitely grateful, and infinitely in awe of each and every one of you. Xoxoxo </i></strong></p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi my loves!! I am back &#8212; I had to take a little &#8217;12 things&#8217; hiatus because I have been so absurdly sick for the last several weeks, I felt like I couldn&#8217;t even use my brain to write to you guys which was hands down the worst feeling in the world! I am back today with some life updates &amp; more.</p>
<p>On that note, why don&#8217;t we just get straight into it?!</p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday //</h2>
<p>1. Well, let&#8217;s just start with where I have been! 32 weeks pregnant with pneumonia <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f643.png" alt="🙃" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> which has been such an absolute trip. I have experienced so many health things in my life, but few things have been quite as debilitating as the last few months. I think being pregnant on top of having a major respiratory illness that for whatever reason was *not healing at all* for the longest time was one of the hardest things. I don&#8217;t wish it upon anyone! I was in and out of the hospital last week, and finally got on the right combination of things to help me heal. I am still only like 30% of the way there but I will take it, it&#8217;s way better than nothing.</p>
<p>2. As usual, I always like to look at the spiritual side of things, illnesses included. This particular situation has been a PURGE of all purges. I feel like I have been purging an old way of being, specifically before becoming a second-time mother to this beautiful baby girl coming in. So much has risen to the surface during this illness, from old patterns and memories to things that I need to change / am ready to change, and so much more. I will be sharing a lot about this soon (probably over on my <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Substack</a> &#8212; subscribe if you haven&#8217;t!!) &#8211; I have a lot to say!</p>
<p>3. I have fully become a MATCHA girl, especially because coffee has been giving me horrible heartburn in the third trimester of this pregnancy. I am loving the brand Nekohama for matcha, and I love mixing it with Three Trees almond milk or pistachio milk, coconut butter, colostrum, and making it a super decadent treat every morning. Over ice, always for me!</p>
<p>4. Yes I know I hated on matcha for years. I can&#8217;t even believe I am saying this. Pregnancy changes your taste buds and preferences so much. <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. Being in bed for the last few weeks has forced me to cancel/reschedule (but mostly cancel) a LOT of things&#8230; which is always a potent reminder to me: <i>how much of what we do on a daily basis is really that important or necessary, anyway? </i>NOT a lot of it, and I think we could all be living much slower lives &amp; it would do us a world of good.</p>
<p>6. Lots of book updates brewing on the back end&#8230; I can&#8217;t wait to share and I promise I will be sharing more soon. Definitely before the baby comes, you guys will have a big book update. It has been a journey, a labor of love, and the book is changing and shifting yet again which I am excited about and cannot wait to share all about.</p>
<p>7. From coughing so much, I have detonated my rib cage. My ribs are so bruised and in so much pain I can hardly function. I don&#8217;t wish this on any pregnant mama everrrrr. Or anyone.</p>
<p>8. The good news about being in bed for two weeks is that I have been channeling up a STORM. And reading a TON! Will do a new book roundup post asap.</p>
<p>9. The other good news about being in bed so much has been lots and lots of cuddles with Atticus. He has been so sweet and is such an angel. I am trying not to let him see how sick I am but he is such a pure intuitive&#8230; he feels it all. He wakes up every day and says, &#8220;You OK, Mommy?&#8221; <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;" /> and I keep telling him that he has a VERY healthy mama, and I will be completely well again very very soon!!</p>
<p>10. I have a solo episode coming out on the podcast tomorrow, detailing my full <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/podcast/solo-my-psychedelic-journeys-in-a-nutshell-ayahuasca-mushrooms-ketamine-beyond/">psychedelic journey</a> throughout the years. I think you guys are going to love it. Who is subscribed / ready to listen?!</p>
<p>11. Also, last week&#8217;s <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/podcast/regenerative-fashion-natural-beauty-motherhood-navigating-grief-spirituality-more-with-christy-dawn/">episode with Christy Dawn</a> was amazingly good. If you love her, the earth, regenerative clothing, sustainability, beautiful dresses, fashion as a vessel for healing, motherhood, natural beauty, and beyond&#8230; you MUST listen!! TBB Podcast, episode 371!</p>
<p>12. I haven&#8217;t gotten a manicure/pedicure this entire pregnancy but I am really feeling called to get one this week. Maybe even tomorrow. What color should I get, if I do?! I also have an ultrasound tomorrow, my first one in what feels like FOREVER because I skipped my last one as I was so sick. Cannot wait to see baby giiiiirl!!</p>
<p>XOXO, LOVE YOU ALL! How is everyone doing?!! XO</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hiii! How are my favorite people? I am writing by the ocean today and it&#8217;s been such a soul nourishing day. I needed it. Every time my mood starts to dip, I just need to plant myself by the ocean and all is healed. It&#8217;s been a wild couple of weeks, which I will get into.</p>
<p>Shall we get right into it?!</p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday!</h2>
<p>1. If you haven&#8217;t read <a href="https://substack.com/@thebalancedblonde" target="_blank" rel="noopener">my new Substack, please doooo</a>! I am so excited about it. I feel like it&#8217;s the future of blogging. Like if you could ask my inner teenage blogging heart my one hope and dream it would be for blogging to be relevant forever. I feel like Substack is making that a reality. I also LOVE that independent writers can make $ on there (mine is free, but I pay so many incredible writers to read their content on there) which is the way it should be. My latest post, <em>Bridge Between Worlds, </em>is my personal fave.</p>
<p>2. Also, don&#8217;t worry. I will still be blogging here on my site! My plan is to use Substack for more story-vibe type of articles, and eventually even use it as a place to start writing for my books. Yes I have TWO books in the works right now but writers never stop. A medium once told me I would write a fiction book online, having people subscribe to a platform and receive a new chapter each week. I could totally see that with Substack one day!! Who would be into it?!</p>
<p>3. I am 29 weeks pregnant tomorrow, AHHHH!! How is the time going so FAST!</p>
<p>4. Our May Mental Health challenge started in <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Quantum Method</a> yesterday, so if you&#8217;re looking to join us &#8212; it&#8217;s still the perfect time. Each day consists of just 10-ish minutes of dedication to yourself. Either sitting in meditation, doing a walking meditation, journaling, or taking a moment to put your legs up the wall and check in with yourself. <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can use the code IGBESTIE until midnight tonight for 10% off</a>&#8230; get on it!! I never do discounts but for mental health awareness month I felt like it was appropriate. <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;" /> Read more about <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/">The Quantum Method here</a>.</p>
<p>5. I am crossing my fingers about receiving some good news *I hope* this week in regards to something I have been working on for a long time. Send good juju my way&#8230; I am so ready for it and feel so lit up by it.</p>
<p>6. Speaking of lit up, I am incredibly proud of Jonathan right now. He recently started doing something new for work and is excelling as the entrepreneur and visionary that he has always been in his soul. I am so proud of him. Like the true Generator that he is, it&#8217;s important for him to feel lit up &amp; excited about what he&#8217;s doing. Watching him on this path has been one of the most special things I have been in a while.</p>
<p>7. In not so fun news, I have had bronchitis for FOUR weeks. If you have seen me in public or if you know me IRL, then you know I haven&#8217;t been able to speak even half of a sentence without hacking my brains out. It is awful. I have been avoiding going on any sort of medicine or antibiotic for it but now I feel like maybe it&#8217;s time&#8230; which I hate being pregnant but I also can&#8217;t live this way anymore. Coughing this hard has also thrown my back out and given me tons of new pregnancy symptoms/issues/aches/pains, it&#8217;s been awful gah. I have done all the things like honey, tea, vocal rest, hydration, time off, sleeping more, etc. but if anyone has any additional tips PLEASE lmk!</p>
<p>8. We recently decided to rename the meditations in TQM platform because they&#8217;re so much more than meditations / so different than your standard medi&#8217;s. So we are now referring to them as REPROGRAMMING TRACKS, and I feel like it&#8217;s sooooo spot on. Join us <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/XMLKhoM2/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">monthly here</a>, <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">yearly here</a>!</p>
<p>9. Also yes, soon TQM will be an APP!! So the pricing we have now is still very much for founding / OG members. This is the lowest rate we will ever have, so now is the tiiiime to get in on it and join us. I had a big meeting with my team yesterday &amp; we agreed that the content + value within the platform far exceeds the current pricing, so that shift will take place soon&#8230;!! And I am so excited to transition it to an APP which has always been my dream!</p>
<p>10. If you haven&#8217;t noticed, this has been a very inspired, creative, entrepreneurial pregnancy. It&#8217;s wild because I feel like my last pregnancy was quite different from this. I felt a lot more tired and introspective during that time. During this pregnancy, and maybe it&#8217;s baby girl&#8217;s energy, I have felt on fire!! It&#8217;s been an amazing feeling.</p>
<p>11. I am living in oversized, flowy dresses right now. I don&#8217;t really buy maternity clothes while pregnant, but rather end up living in cozy dresses that I can wear both pregnant and not pregnant. And also in my Lululemon align sweats which I have about 50 pairs of because I wear them so often and they are so perfectly stretchy for pregnancy!!</p>
<p>12. I did a fun Q&amp;A on Instagram this morning &#8212; it will be up for the next 20 hours or so, so catch it while it&#8217;s there to see some of my thoughts and answers to commonly asked questions!</p>
<p><strong><em>LOVE you all! How is everyone doing?!?! Hope you are all having a fantastic start to your week. XOXO </em></strong></p>
<p><em>PS if you&#8217;re a podcast listener, tune into last week&#8217;s solo ep!! It&#8217;s a fave of mine and truly feels like we are just hanging out in my living room together. &lt;3</p>
<p></em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>This is a repost from my new </i><a style="font-style: italic;" href="https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com/p/a-bridge-between-worlds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Substack</a><i>! Come follow there, I am super excited about it. I will still be blogging here too, but I feel like Substack is the future and I would love your support as I become consistent over there! Will be going ALL IN on the starseed content on there. <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;" /></i></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Picture this:</em> </strong>a blonde, 20-something wellness influencer gets deeply into spirituality and starts exploring cosmic consciousnesses. She awakens from deep within and uncovers intuitive gifts that shift her entire being &amp; radically change her life.</p>
<p>Then, because her mind expands so quickly, her body gets sick. She goes on a chronic illness healing journey and ends up meeting parts of herself that she never could have fathomed existed. The cosmic consciousness in her DNA reawakens a little bit more every day, and ultimately that is what helps her heal.</p>
<p>She remembers past lifetimes. She starts unlocking her Akashic Records. She lives in the world, but she is not of it. On the outside she seems incredibly normal, she is incredibly normal by society’s standards, but truthfully she is a “bridge between worlds.”</p>
<p>She is more comfortable in the cosmic realms than she is here. She loves it up there. She understands that her life’s mission is to bridge the gap between earth &amp; the realms beyond—the 3D and the 5D (and even higher). Some days she feels like she’s nailed it, and other days it feels like she’s barely scratched the surface or begun.</p>
<p>Some days she wishes her purpose was more grounded &amp; less cosmic so maybe she could not feel 4382029301 years old and deal with the most intense aches and pains (and rollercoasters of emotions) of a starseed in a human body, but other days she knows.</p>
<p>She knows this is her purpose. This is why she came here. It’s why she was born into this world but is not of this world. And every day she gets to remember the beauty and the blessing, albeit mixed in with the intense challenges, of merging the two worlds.</p>
<p><strong><em>If you haven’t guessed it by now, but I bet you have:</em></strong> it’s me. That girl is me. Hi, hello, et moi. Otherworldly but grounded, in some ways. Alive, awake, here and ready for the experience. 33 but often feel as if I am in my late 100’s. Wife, mother, influencer, content creator, and channel between worlds.</p>
<p>Also, there just aren’t enough people talking about cosmic consciousness. And by that I mean, almost no one—no one that I know at least.</p>
<p>So I accept my fate, and I have learned to love and embrace it. I am actually thrilled by it. I am here to talk about cosmic oneness, specifically from my favorite star system, the one where my soul most comes from (and still vibrates on and within in many ways)—the Pleiades.</p>
<p><em>Say hi to the Pleiadians. They’re totally here with us now as I write. <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;" /></em></p>
<p>The Pleiadians came into my life in a big way in 2017, but once I “met” them I started to put the pieces together to understand that they had been a force in my life for much, much longer than that. They had been channeling through me my whole life without me realizing it.</p>
<p>Like when I was in first grade and somehow wrote a 100 page chapter book in the blink of an eye? Pleiadians channeling through. To this day they often come to me in the form of writing, so I end up typing 10,000 miles a minute!</p>
<p>But lately they also come to me through “wisdom transmissions,” a.k.a bursts of information that get translated into my spoken voice and that has been really fun. Actually, it’s been the most fun thing in my life so far. I love creating transmissions with the P’s. I created a whole membership platform around these transmissions recently called <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/">The Quantum Method</a> &amp; it has lit me up from deep within. AND this platform has only just begun—there is so much to come.</p>
<p>Once the Pleiadians came into my life in this human lifetime, everything started to shift. Drastically. I met a shaman who told me that I would get very sick if I didn’t wake up to my own cosmic consciousness and begin to listen to the wisdom of the Pleiades above.</p>
<p>However, the shaman happened to tell me this while I was on a girls&#8217; trip for my friend’s 27th birthday, and there was just no way I had the tools to implement everything necessary for me to start fully channeling at that time.</p>
<p>So, what happened, you ask? I got super sick. For many years. With chronic, debilitating, late-stage neurological Lyme dis-ease.</p>
<p>It was both awful and the best thing that ever happened to me. I will get way, way into it in future posts. But for now, let me just tell you, channeling the Pleiadians woke me back up to my own soul.</p>
<p>It took me several years to become consistent. In fact, it wasn&#8217;t until this year, SIX whole years after my Lyme diagnosis ad seven years since meeting the P’s, that I started a practice of channeling on a daily basis. In the way that my soul has been called to do for a long, long time.</p>
<p><strong>The Pleiaidans have taught me so much. They are advanced spiritual beings, guardians of the earth, telepathic healers &amp; teachers with a commitment to peace and oneness. They are of fifth dimensional consciousness, all love and light, and they simply want to help our planet evolve.</strong></p>
<p>It also helps them when we evolve. The entire universe is in it together. I have so much to say, and in my next post I will introduce you more deeply to the Pleiadians &amp; tell you what it is that they most want you to know. And how they can influence your life in a positive way, too!</p>
<p>In the meantime, I had to share this. I was actually up all night thinking about this. I am reading a new-to-me book about the P’s and our cosmic DNA right now, as I nearly always am, and the words were *screaming* at me from the page: <em>share this info, write about it, this is your purpose, this is what you came to earth for, this is why you are here, stop playing small, stop hiding behind more palatable spiritual platitudes like manifestation &amp; affirmations—and do. the. real. work. you. came. here. to. do.</em></p>
<p>So here I am—I am doing it. And I want all your thoughts.</p>
<p>If you feel connected to starseed consciousness, come along for this ride. Bridge between worlds, at your service. &lt;3 PS if you are reading, leave a comment below so I can say hi &amp; thank you for being here!</p>
<p>Love you all,</p>
<p>Jordan</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi my loves! Happy Tuesday! We&#8217;re back with a 12 things post, after a few weeks of wildness where I couldn&#8217;t seem to find the time to make it happen. I am sooo happy to be here today, connecting with you guys, my favorite thing in the world to do. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2665.png" alt="♥" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>First thing&#8217;s first, how&#8217;s everyone doing? How is your week going? Tell me! Let&#8217;s dive on into it.</p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday //</h2>
<p>1.  I caught the worsttt cold / flu / sickness situation about 11 days ago and I cannot believe I am saying this but it&#8217;s still not getting better! We got so lucky this whole winter and didn&#8217;t seem to catch anything that was going around, but whatever I have now is <em>g-n-a-r-l-y. </em>I feel like it&#8217;s turning into bronchitis and I really hope that&#8217;s not the case. Send me good vibbesss and if you&#8217;re one of the many others who has this right now, I feel you!</p>
<p>2. On the bright side, I did feel a bit better over the weekend before the second wave of this thing hit me &#8211; and I got to have the most special solo weekend with Atticus. Jonathan was in NYC, and me and Attie did so many fun things. We went to the beach, he swam in the ocean (!!), got to see tons of friends and fam, had lots of special little dates the two of us, and just got so much quality time together. I feel like the luckiest mama, he is truly at the best age and we are having so much fun.</p>
<p>3. We have so many new &amp; special meditations, affirmations, channelings, pep talks, yoga and kundalini flows &amp; beyond in <em><a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Quantum Method</a>! </em>Specifically, everything about our Awakened April challenge has been absolutely on fire. <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/">Who has joined us</a>?! If you haven&#8217;t yet, any questions for me?!</p>
<p>4. Speaking of Awakened April, I do have something very special in <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the platform</a> planned for May. Still deciding on the exact name but it&#8217;s either going to be a metaphysical deep dive (my fave), or an anxiety release challenge. Which do you prefer?!</p>
<p>5. I woke up this weekend REALLY missing hot yoga. Like super sweaty hot vinyasa flow classes. It&#8217;s really a no no when pregnant otherwise I would be there as we speak because my body is calling for it deeply. I remember feeling this way my last pregnancy too, but I vow to never take for granted the things I can do in my body again when I am not pregnant anymore &amp; feeling like my best self. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2665.png" alt="♥" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>6. I had the world&#8217;s best and most exquisite dining experience at Meteora in West Hollywood last week with some of my mama besties. It was the best mom&#8217;s night out. This restaurant was seriously giving Tulum vibes, and every dish was more phenomenal, gourmet, and otherworldly than the next. Plus their cacao dessert is insane. If you live in LA or have any trips planned, this is an amazing date night or girl&#8217;s night spot &#8212; highly recommend!!</p>
<p>7. We KNOWWWW I am the snobbiest of all water snobs, and I am still absolutely living for my Ophora water. I will always go for the triple filtered water, reverse osmosis, pH balanced, highest quality, all the things. You don&#8217;t even want to know what&#8217;s in our tap water. If I am your friend IRL, I have probably already talked your ear off about it. Ophora water is <strong><em>next level!! </em></strong>It is free of chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, trace hormones, and beyond. They are nano-pure, pH balanced &amp; 99.99% clear of all pollutants. <a href="https://www.ophorawater.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can order from today today for 10% off with the code BLONDE10</a>!! You’ll fall in love. They’re called “water for wellness” for a reason!!!</p>
<p>8. Also in love with electrolytes, especially pregnant. I put them in my Ophora! My fave brands are Liquid IV, LMNT &amp; Ultima. I like the pink lemonade flavors. And right now, everything needs to be over ice for me. Major pregnancy craving. Also helps a lot with pregnancy migraines!</p>
<p>9. We have a <em>Raise Your Abundance Frequency</em> event in TQM platform this Wednesday at 4pm!! If you are in the membership or are ready to join, this is going to be such a fun deep dive. And a different kind of deep dive for us! It&#8217;s co-hosted and taught by my dear friend Krista Ripma who is also my business guru. For anyone into the crossover between spirituality &amp; business, this is for you. You&#8217;re gonna love. (Join <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/XMLKhoM2/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">monthly here</a>, <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">yearly here</a>!)</p>
<p>10. I recently binge watched <em>Apples Never Fall </em>and it was so good!! I never read the book but I imagine the book was amazing. The show was so suspenseful and fun to watch. The last episode was rather disappointing (I won&#8217;t give anything away) just because I feel like there needed to be like 3 more episodes to round out the whole story? Either way I still recommend it, it was such a fun watch!</p>
<p>11. I have been seeing a pelvic floor PT this pregnancy and learning all of the stretches/exercises for SPD since I have the craziest pelvic pain in my pregnancies. The exercises are helping a lot although the pain is still wild &#8211; but if you too are in this boat, I highly recommend finding a good PT in your area!</p>
<p>12. We launched &amp; sold out of our newest collection of <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/shop/">TBB merch</a>, <strong>The Angel Frequency</strong> collection!!! If you got your hands on it, it will be arriving early May as it was a preorder launch. I am so thankful for your support &amp; absolutely cannot wait for you all to receive your sweat sets. I haven&#8217;t taken mine off!! Literally wearing it right now. <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><strong><em>How are my favorite people?! How is your week going?! Sending you lots of love XOOO </em></strong></p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi angels! This is going to be a rapid fire 12 things Tuesday, kiiiind of like on the podcast when I ask my guests rapid fires at the end of every episode. Once we get into the 12 things you will see why I&#8217;m in rapid mode today. How is everyone else doing today? Still feeling the eclipse portal like me? I wanna hear it all &#8212; tell me below!</p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday //</h2>
<p>1. Yesterday I feel like I lived an entire week in one day. Things are moving FAST (and yet slow?) right now, and life is feeling incredibly full. For us there are so many shifts and changes in our path right now and so much up in the air, I am really leaning on my meditation practices to remain embodied and grounded. Not gonna lie though, it&#8217;s a LOT.</p>
<p>2. One of those things is house hunting. I know, it seems like we&#8217;ve been doing it forever. And we have. Right now I am working on unblocking some subconscious beliefs around the whole process and I know it will help us manifest the exact home we are meant to be in as the next step for our family. &lt;3</p>
<p>3. On top of that&#8230; this week, omg. There is so much. Next week we have three big launches: one of them being the NEW NAME of the <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meditation platform</a> (!!!), the second one being the launch of MY NEW MERCH (ahhhh!), and the third being the Awakened April challenge in the platform. I hope you&#8217;ll join us for all of the magic.</p>
<p>4. If you want in on the merch, a.k.a my favorite drop yet by FAR, comment with your email address on this post and we will add you to the list to be the first to know when it drops on 4/9. This is a preorder launch only, and once inventory is gone&#8230; it&#8217;s gone! There will not be a restock, just like my previous merch items. And I still get requests every day to bring back the UNIVERSE hoodie! This one is gonna rock your world, you guys.</p>
<p>5. I have been having a lot of fun <a href="https://www.instagram.com/direct/inbox/?thread_key=5993819940717575" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in my broadcast channel on IG</a> lately. It&#8217;s like the blog community, but on Insta. If you are on IG you must join. It&#8217;s a lot of fun and just a closer connection to me in many ways. Because we always need MORE ways to communicate, right?! Lol.</p>
<p>6. Tomorrow I will be 24 weeks pregnant&#8230; baby girl will be the size of a cantaloupe. I can hardly believe it. This pregnancy is flyyyinnngg. Any other pregnant mamas out there reading?</p>
<p>7. Atticus did the cutest thing this weekend. He is finally old enough where he has started to play by himself more, with us nearby but not necessarily us needing to entertain him the whole time. We heard him in his room this weekend saying everyone&#8217;s names over and over again and we were wondering what he was doing, but it sounded so cute from the other room. Eventually he came out into the living room carrying our ZODIAC book, and it turns out he was reading and saying everyone&#8217;s zodiac signs by himself!!!! Usually we do it together but I thought it was so insanely adorable and sweet that he was doing it on his own. <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;" /> My little astro boy!</p>
<p>8. One of the best things about having kids is watching your friends and loved ones bond with your children, and vice versa. My best friend was over last night and witnessing Atticus&#8217;s love for her and their sweet bond made my heart explode and it&#8217;s something I am still thinking about today.</p>
<p>9. Jonathan and I are re-watching <em>This Is Us!!! </em>I can confidently say I have never re-watched a TV show in my entire life, it&#8217;s not really my thing. But this show holds such a special place in our hearts and I feel like we KNOW the characters on the deepest of levels. We are already on season 4 of our re-watch binge and I have to say, I think it&#8217;s truly the best show of all time.</p>
<p>10. I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that I might be the most indecisive person ever. If you&#8217;re the same way, please let me know. You should see the way I have been going back and forth on the house front these last few weeks &#8212; ahhhh!</p>
<p>11. Once we announce the new name of the platform, there will be a COURSE coming shortly after (in May) and I am over the moon about it. It complements the platform really well and I cannot wait for you to experience it.</p>
<p>12. In case you missed it, you can <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/free-meditations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">try two of my meditations for free here</a>! &amp; there is another free one on the sales page. <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 cannot wait to hear what you think! Eeek!! Then once you try, join us in the platform. That&#8217;s where all of the fun and magic goes down.</p>
<p>13. A bonus one for ya today (and I said this was going to be rapid fire AHHH I was wrong lol) &#8212; there are so many new KUNDALINI MEDI&#8217;S &amp; videos in the Awakened April challenge in the platform, launching 4/8! I cannot WAIT for you to experience them! Kundalini questions? Ask me below! xx</p>
<p><strong><i>How is everyone doing today?! Be sure to drop your email below if you want exclusive access to the MERCH once it launches for preorder on 4/9!!! And who is joining for our channeling live event during the solar eclipse on Monday?! </i></strong></p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi my loves! Happy, happy 12 things Tuesdayyyy!! How is everyone doing today? So far, today is one of those DAYS for me. Feeling absolutely everything from the eclipse, dealing with the worst migraine ever, feeling all of the pregnancy things, you knooooww how it goes. But I am so happy to get into today&#8217;s 12 things so let&#8217;s do it!</p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday //</h2>
<p>1. Who is feeling this full moon lunar eclipse in Libra?! It took place yesterday at midnight, but my goodness do I still feel it. The intensity is *palpable.* Yesterday morning I felt like I was having a full-on ayahuasca ceremony in my room, flowing and stretching and crying and feeling it ALL. Emotions were poooouring through. I literally felt ancestors coming up &amp; sharing so much with me, it was so emotional &amp; beautiful &amp; cathartic. My fellow &#8220;lunar beings&#8221; will feel me on this &#8211; we are so connected to the moon. We feel it deeply. We reflect it. It&#8217;s a lottt.</p>
<p>2. Thank you for introducing yourselves on last week&#8217;s post and telling me more about you! I love knowing who is on the other side of the screen. I am so lucky and grateful to have you all here. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f340.png" alt="🍀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>3. Two of my main pregnancy symptoms at the moment are SPD (horrible pelvic pain) &amp; migraines &#8212; the migraines have returned! Gahhh!! I really feel that this pregnancy has taught me so many lessons about slowing down, saying no, instilling boundaries, having to cancel so many things and put myself first, etc. &amp; the crazy thing is that because I&#8217;ve done that so much in this pregnancy, I feel like I have also been rewarded with incredible energy, inspiration, channeling, and more during this time. I know my daughter is already teaching me so much&#8230; she is a wise one.</p>
<p>4. I will be 23 weeks pregnant tomorrow&#8230; baby is the size of a grapefruit! And I am feeling it!!! If you&#8217;ve never been pregnant just imagine walking around with a large grapefruit strapped to your stomach all day long (and then imagine that growing in size by like 3x over the next four months lol) &#8212; it may not sound like a lot but trust me when it&#8217;s a 24/7 thing, it is. <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. The Pleiadians have been coming through soooo strongly lately. They have so much to say. I am gathering a bunch of messages from them that I will be sharing in our April 8th <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eclipse event in the platform</a> &#8212; who&#8217;s joining!!!</p>
<p>6. My whole family is going to Barcelona tomorrow!! Originally I was planning to go too but pregnancy (and having a toddler) made things a little more complicated. I will be living through them. My niece (she is also my bff in the world) is studying abroad there this semester and I am so proud of her. She is living her best life.</p>
<p>7. When I studied abroad in Florence in college I started my first official blog, called &#8220;Meanwhile in Florence&#8221; !! I still look for it honestly I would LOVE to find it. I updated it every Sunday with like 10,000 word posts. Has much about me changed?! Nope, lol.</p>
<p>8. I have been doing sooo much yoga lately, just a ton of stretching and flowing at home and it feels amazing. It is the main thing that helps with this pelvic pain. I am so grateful for this practice which has saved me time and time and time again. What a true gift. I discovered yoga when I was 14, and I don&#8217;t know how I would have gotten through life up until this point without it. &lt;3</p>
<p>9. I have Trevor Hall on repeat in the background right now and I am getting so excited to see him live at Red Rocks in June&#8230; and to spend time with him and our soul fam. I am so grateful for the incredible humans in my life.</p>
<p>10. I hope this post is making sense, as the migraine is making it hard to concentrate fully. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f605.png" alt="😅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>11. Today my plan is to edit the kundalini videos we filmed two weeks ago with my dear friend &amp; teacher Britt Deanda!! The vids will be up in the platform asap and I am so excited to share!!!</p>
<p>12. You may still be able to join the platform as a founding member at the founding members rate today!!! It is going up today, but my team is still working on the backend of it. If you see this soon, you can still be a founding member. <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;" /> and either way, we have made the pricing super accessible and affordable overall!! <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JOIN US</a>!</p>
<p><strong><em>Love you all so much! Who is feeling the full moon &amp; eclipse portal? How are you feeling today? Tell me all the things! XO </em></strong></p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi my loves!! Happy Tuesdayyy!! My favorite day of the week, the one where I get to connect with you guys on the bloggy. It&#8217;s going to be a very full day ahead, with a few podcasts and some other recordings to prep for&#8230; so this morning it feels extra good to be sitting here with my iced tea &amp; writing to you. &lt;3</p>
<p><em>Also, ICYMI, I wrote two blog posts last week if you feel like reading on after this one!</em></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get right into today&#8217;s 12 things, shall we?!</p>
<h2>12 Things Tuesday //</h2>
<p>1. Can we get a headcount for who reads the blog every week?! Unlike social media it&#8217;s so hard to tell, and I absolutely love knowing who is on the other side of the screen. Comment below and tell me where you&#8217;re from, what your sign is, all the things. Or just say &#8220;I&#8217;m here!&#8221; if you feel like keeping it short &amp; sweet. <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;" /> So grateful for you all.</p>
<p>2. Going through so many lessons in boundaries lately. I thought my Saturn Return taught me everything I needed to know about boundaries and who I open my heart to, give all of my energy to, etc. but I feel like I am back in the portal of learning this lesson now. The good news is, I am taking it so much better than I did several years ago. I know that we can&#8217;t change people, fix people, or really expect them to be anything other than who they are. And every time someone&#8217;s true colors are shown, I take it as a gift from the universe that I can now create more space for the more aligned &amp; reciprocal people in my life. If you&#8217;re going through this, know that you are not alone!</p>
<p>3. Last week I got the stronnnggg message that it is SO HARD for me to rest without feeling the need to be productive! I was a bit sick last week and it took everything in my power to finally take a day off and not work. And even then&#8230; I was working! But when I finally just relaxed and watched Love Is Blind (obsessed right now) midday for a few hours, the next day I felt 110% more energized and myself. Such an important reminder to rest when we need to.</p>
<p>4. If you weren&#8217;t there live or haven&#8217;t caught the replay of our event last week in the platform with Nikki Novo, you still can and you must!!! She taught us an amazing intuition class, guided us through a group channeling, called on participants to be channeling guinea pigs, taught us about the 5 different types of intuition (and beyond) and so much more. Normally a class like this would go for hundreds of dollars, but you can watch it as our gift once you join the membership platform!!! <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/XMLKhoM2/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monthly is here</a> &amp; <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">yearly (best deal) is here</a>. Join usss and tell me who&#8217;s watching!</p>
<p>5. Speaking of the <a href="https://thebalancedblonde.com/meditation-membership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">platform</a>, I am currently working on the AWAKENED APRIL challenge. It&#8217;s going to blow you guys out of the water. Straight channeling, straight magic, &amp; beyond. Can&#8217;t wait to bring it to you guys. &lt;3</p>
<p>6. I love poetry. I have been diving back into so many poetry books lately that I love and it&#8217;s such a healing balm for the soul.</p>
<p>7. OMG&#8230; I just trademarked a NEW NAME for TBB PLATFORM &amp; I AM SO EXCITED!!! Any guesses?! I am freaking out from excitement and joy and can&#8217;t wait to share absolutely everything with you. This is about to be a whole new era.</p>
<p>8. I haven&#8217;t been fully vegan for over two years now, and I still get the weirdest comments about it. I feel like there is such a misconception and odd fascination about food, diet, and the way that people eat that always really surprises me. I also know I have shared so much of my nutrition style on the internet that I am happy to get questions about it, but the fact that people are still shocked that I am no longer vegan always surprises me. You should see some of the messages I got this morning. <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>9. Things with my BOOK are well under way and I hope I will have some news to share with you very soon&#8230; eeek!!!!</p>
<p>10. I am having so so so much fun with Atticus at this age and stage. He is 27 months and the amount that he is learning, speaking, sharing, communicating, etc. every day is the best thing in the world. He is so unbelievably cute and hilarious, and there are so many adorable things he does that I never want to forget. One of them is that whenever he wants a hug he shouts &#8220;HUG!!&#8221; and then comes barreling into my arms (like almost knocking me over because he runs so fast) and then he counts to 10 to do a 10-second hug. Secondly he is riding a scooter like a full on ten year old, and before he goes down this steep hill in our neighborhood he always closes his eyes and counts to 10 as if he is about to play hide &amp; seek before he goes down&#8230; it&#8217;s the cutest thing ever and my heart cannot take it. My baby is growing so fast.</p>
<p>11. Speaking of babies&#8230; I am 22 weeks pregnant now. How is the time flying!!!</p>
<p>12. I never thought I&#8217;d say this, but I am so so looking forward to Pisces season transitioning into Aries season. This has been a heavy emotional season &amp; I am excited for more fire + the influx of energy that comes with all things Aries. Who&#8217;s with me!</p>
<p><strong><i>Alllll my love! How are my favorite people!!

										<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>

<h2>12 Things Tuesday // 12 Things You May Not Know About Me!</h2>
<p>1. I have an insaaaanely detailed memory. I am the girl all of my friends and family go to to remember the name of a random person from 25+ years ago, what we all wore to prom, who dated who in high school, what our kindergarten teacher&#8217;s kids names were&#8230; you get what I&#8217;m saying. I feel like this might be a highly sensitive person thing. But even when I do plant medicine ceremonies, I am transported back to the most *random* and unlikely memories with people in places I haven&#8217;t thought about in <em>decades</em>!! I feel like my soul is extra nostalgic and really thrives off of spending time in the memory bank thinking about all of these things. I personally love it. But the pregnancy brain fog still hits me and then my memory is a little more iffy for a handful of months. <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>2. I have 800 hours of yoga teacher training! This has been my passion since I was 14 years old, and it was my top goal to become a certified yoga instructor by the time I graduated high school. My parents wanted me to wait (school came first&#8230;) but I eventually was able to do my first 200-hr training when I was in college. From there, the trainings snowballed and for many years I just kept doing them &amp; never stopped!! It was my TOP dream to teach at YogaWorks back in the day, so I did most of my trainings there. They are no longer open but it was such a gold standard place to get certified, I am so glad I did it. Over the years I have done various other trainings from kundalini to prenatal to meditation and beyond. I am so grateful I can now put all of that to good use in the medi &amp; yoga <a href="https://meditation.thebalancedblonde.com/offers/7Lzi3tSS/checkout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">platform</a>!!! Especially given that I haven&#8217;t taught IRL in a long time although it used to be one of my favorite things. &lt;3</p>
<p>3. I am not a car person but my husband LOVES cars and that has prompted me to notice them a little bit more. For my next car (I have had the same Honda CRV for almost 10 years and I love it) I would love a Porsche Cayenne or some kind of really cool, sleek, beautiful SUV. I love big cars. I learned how to drive in my dad&#8217;s Denali GMC (absolutely massive, like a boat lol) so I am not really comfortable driving or even riding in super small cars.</p>
<p>4. I happen to be a WATER SNOB. Maybe this isn&#8217;t a little known fact? I will always go for the triple filtered water, reverse osmosis, pH balanced, highest quality, all the things. Most likely this is because I have had so many health problems &amp; I am so aware of the toxic shit that currently resides in our tap water. Right now I am the HUGEST fan of Ophora, because they are the literal best and I trust them more than anything. Their water is free of chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, trace hormones, and beyond. They are nano-pure, pH balanced &amp; 99.99% clear of all pollutants. <a href="https://www.ophorawater.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can order from today today for 10% off with the code BLONDE10</a>!! You&#8217;ll fall in love. They&#8217;re called &#8220;water for wellness&#8221; for a reason!!!</p>
<p>5. Unusual skill I have: I can name every real housewife from every franchise&#8230; ever. But especially Beverly Hills, OC, and Salt Lake City. <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;" /> And I can quote any scene from Vanderpump Rules like it&#8217;s my job.</p>
<p>6. I believe my most soulmate of all soulmates in this world (other than my husband and son) is my cat Hudson. I know we have traveled through infinite lifetimes together. The way he looks into my soul heals me on the deepest of levels. Our bond is BEYOND words, transcendent, healing. He just takes care of me. He sleeps in my arms every night and our telepathic communication is next level. I just love him so much, he deserves all of the love and shoutouts in the whole entire world.</p>
<p>7. I have never, ever stepped on a handicap parking symbol in my life &#8212; it&#8217;s just a weird superstition I have that I would say has turned into a full-blown obsession. I mean never in my life have I stepped on one, walking through any parking lot ever. When Atticus runs over them with wild abandon my whole body tenses up. I know it&#8217;s silly and there is no real reason for it AT ALL but when I was really young I just felt like it would be a bad omen. So it&#8217;s something I have stuck to for my entire life. Does anyone relate to this or do something similar!?</p>
<p>8. On that same note, I have a lot of very obsessive habits that are similar to that one. I also never step on cracks in the ground if I can avoid it but I have gotten a little more lenient with that one over the years. It&#8217;s no wonder my parents had me in therapy when I was 5&#8230; lol.</p>
<p>9. I went to a tiny school that is Pre-K through 12th grade for my entire childhood in Sacramento. So my class os 42 students was pretty much the same for my entire life. I developed some of the closest friendships imaginable there, including my ride or dies for LIFE Katie, Danielle, and Eleni. I know you&#8217;ve heard me talk about them over the years!! It was a very unique way to grow up and it definitely had its pros and cons, but I am grateful for the experience and the incredible academic opportunities we got there.</p>
<p>10. I studied abroad in Florence, Italy in college and I had a blog called &#8220;Meanwhile in Florence&#8221;!! I still look for it and I have no idea what happened to it, but it would be so cool to revive that blog and see what I wrote about every week. <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>11. Justin Bieber and I had the same Lyme doctor and I have a weird feeling we are supposed to be friends. Not in a creepy stalker way but more of a I swear we have had lifetimes of knowing each other kind of way. I am manifesting it. And I love his music !!!</p>
<p>12. A hidden talent of mine is that I type psychotically fast. If you were sitting in this room watching me type right now you would be like holy shit &#8211; lol. Every roommate I have ever had still talks about the sound of me banging the keys when I type, even in the middle of the night (insomniac forever)! <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>13. A bonus one&#8230; I am so grateful to have been featured in the March issue of a beautiful offline newspaper called The Retreat &#8211; a paper that helps you disconnect to reconnect. <a href="https://www.theretreatbycarley.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can use code JORDAN100 to get the March issue for free</a>, which I feel is a literal must. You can look forward to receiving it in the MAIL and read what is truly my number one favorite interview I have ever done, and the rest of the paper is stunning with so many inspiring articles &amp; features. &lt;3 The founder Carley is in tbb fam and she is truly a force.</p>
