Holding Onto Hope When Life Is Hard (Ft. Toni Collier) Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

Most of us want to (and try to) avoid pain at all costs - and that includes reliving pain we experienced in the past.

Yes, we want to find healing, but as great as that sounds, the reality is that the journey to get there is not always easy. In fact, the healing process itself can be pretty painful.

Sometimes it seems easier to try and skip past the healing process altogether. But as painful as the healing journey can be, it’s worth it!

In this episode, Jordan speaks with author, speaker, and founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, Toni Collier, about how to discover healing after pain.

Toni shares practical steps and biblical wisdom that you won’t want to miss! Tune in to learn:

The importance of addressing the hurt to find healing
Why healing is often not quick, easy, or linear (and why numbing our emotions doesn’t help)
Practical ways you can be more intentional about spending time with God even when you’re in the middle of your pain
How to know when you’re ready to share something that you’ve been healing from
The importance of healing before helping
Myths that people may believe about going to therapy and how therapy can make a difference

Becoming Mom and Dad: Our Path to Parenthood Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

If you haven’t heard, we recently welcomed our son into our family, who came into our lives in the most divine way.

I’ve been slow to share this news because over the last few years, I’ve really leaned into the beauty of maintaining privacy and boundaries with sacred things like this. So we’ve been taking time for just our family, soaking in these special moments, before inviting the whole world in.

But I think it’s time to share this story and we wanted to do so in a podcast episode to give it its proper space. A simple Instagram caption just wouldn’t do it justice.

A little backstory: back when we were engaged and had no idea what our family-building journey would look like, we agreed that we wanted to adopt one day. Adoption was always part of our family’s “plan,” we just didn’t know the timing. That said, adoption has never been a "Plan B" or a backup plan. It’s always been something we’ve felt called to — even before we began to struggle with recurrent pregnancy loss.

Then through our involvement with Safe Families, as well as through loss, we felt the Lord nudging us to open our hands and hearts to adoption early in our family-building journey. We felt God was asking us to open all the doors to building a family and to trust Him with the order of how it would all play out.

So, in January 2022, we started the adoption process and in January 2023, we were blessed to bring home our son, Noah.

We feel it’s important to share this story because it seems like all you ever hear is horror stories about adoption, but we truly had the most incredible experience from start to finish - and it’s important for those positive stories to be shared, too.

So tune in to this episode to learn:

Why we chose to pursue adoption early in our family-building journey
More about the adoption process
The birth experience from our perspective
Our answers to commonly asked questions
The unexpected lessons God taught us along the way

Thank you for celebrating this miracle with us. Every life is a miracle but there’s something unique and special and gospel-centered about the miracle of adoption… and we are humbled and honored that God would invite us into parenthood in this most redemptive and beautiful way.

xo,

Jordan and Matt

What is Toxic Positivity and Why It's Unhelpful (Ft. Whitney Goodman) Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

How many times have you heard phrases like "you'll be fine," "don't cry," "everything happens for a reason," or "it could be worse"?

When working through difficult emotions or challenging circumstances like loss, breakups, illness, or family issues, it can be frustrating when we are urged to be more positive.

The truth is that even amid life’s challenges, we’re often pressured into being positive. We’re told to “look on the bright side” and be happy.

And sometimes we ourselves tend to be overly positive because we just want to fix a friend’s hurt and help them feel better.

While optimism is important and needed, there’s also something to be said for when positivity becomes toxic and prevents us from working through difficult emotions.

But how can you recognize the difference between toxic positivity and optimism? And how can you find other ways to work through negative emotions?

In this episode, Jordan talks with therapist and author Whitney Goodman about what toxic positivity looks like and how we can leave space for our real feelings.

Grab your headphones and tune in to this episode to learn:

What toxic positivity is and what it’s not
Why silencing negativity and difficult emotions doesn’t always work
How to recognize if our positivity is toxic
Ways to support someone going through a hard time
How to complain and vent effectively / in a healthy way
Ways to help your child regulate their emotions instead of resorting to toxic positivity

Everything You Need to Know About EMFs (Ft. Nick Wawrzyniak) Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever heard the term EMFs (electromagnetic fields)?

Maybe you’ve heard that they can be dangerous to our health, but you’re unsure what you can do to protect against them.

Or perhaps you’ve heard a lot of big talk about them and even seen tons of products marketed to “block EMFs” but to be honest, you’re skeptical that it’s really an issue at all.

No matter which view you take, as more and more studies are done, and as technology continues to advance, chances are that you’ll continue to hear more about EMFs - and you’ll probably hear differing opinions on it.

But the question remains: how do they actually affect the human body and is there any research that will help us better understand this issue?

In this episode, Jordan talks with her brother, Nick Wawrzyniak, a certified EMF specialist, about EMFs and what the research is showing us.

He breaks everything down and answers all the questions you’ve had about the topic.

If you’re ready to truly understand this issue, then tune in to this episode to learn:

What EMFs are and the science behind how they affect the body
Common side effects that EMFS can cause
What studies are showing about how EMFs affect reproductive health and children’s health
4 reasons why it’s hard to find accurate information on EMFs (and where to find the research)
3 different types of EMFs and where they are found inside and outside the home
What it means to remediate EMFs and why it’s better than blocking EMFs
Steps you can take to protect against EMFs

How to Be Productive Without Losing Your Mind (Ft. Jess Massey) Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

Many of us have goals and dreams that we’re passionate about pursuing (plus a lot of housework that needs to get done). So we put our heads down, create a to-do list, and try to make those goals happen.

But at what point does trying to be productive leave you on a hamster wheel of never-ending work that sacrifices your mental health and relationships?

While you may have started with drive and passion, the external pressure of trying to achieve it all can quickly turn into a chronic and unsustainable cycle of doing more - which can lead you to resent the work you once loved.

So how can you lead a peacefully productive life that leaves room for rest, relationships, and what matters most?

That’s what this episode explores! Jordan talks to Jess Massey, the founder of Hustle Sanely, about how we can pursue productivity while still prioritizing our health and relationships.

Ready to pursue your goals without losing your mind? Tune in to this episode and learn:

The dangers and negative effects of hustle culture
The difference between hustle culture and peaceful productivity
Myths that people believe you need to do to be productive
What work-life balance actually looks like
Signs that you're burnt out
