Welcome to another episode of Community on Purpose, the podcast where we sit down with women who are intentionally creating community through business, giving or living. Today’s episode doubled as a personal therapy session with Miss Jordan Maney, the Radical Joy Coach who helps bleeding heart creative business owners learn to be advocates for themselves and their communities through the practice of rest.

Jordan has coached business owners from a variety of industries and having spent four years lovingly disrupting the wedding industry as a planner and advocate of marginalized couples, she pivoted exclusively towards rest and joy coaching with an equity lens in 2020. Our conversation was deeply personal where I asked Jordan questions about how we define rest, how we create boundaries, and how as leaders we can model this behavior for our communities.

I absolutely love Jordan’s perspective on rest being a collective action and why so many of us aren't getting any because we don’t have an individual practice or a community to lean on. Her definition of bleeding hearts as natural advocates who champion everyone but themselves really struck a cord, - the idea that many of us care for everyone else and how Jordan is helping people just like this advocate for their own needs.

This podcast episode is powerful, impactful and Jordan’s passion is evident - knowing when to listen and when to speak, sharing from her heart, building spaces where people don’t have to fit in - everyone needs some Jordan in their life. Listen in and listen up, you are going to want to pause and repeat this episode many times over.
