Ep. 62 ft. Kelsey Patel – Reiki 1, Winter Funks, & Prepping for the New Year (RETREAT!)

By | October 31, 2024

In this episode Jordan chats with her dear friend & reiki master Kelsey Patel, who is back to share her contagious energy and spirited wisdom with all of us! Kelsey recently led Jordan through her Reiki 1 certification, which was a life changing experience in every way. Part of the Reiki 1 certification is a check-in with your Reiki master – they decided to check in on the podcast so that all of you can be a part of everything Jordan learned and took away from her experience!!! (Hint: she feels way more connected to her intuition, more confident, and more divinely guided to name a few.)

 

They also get raw and vulnerable talking about why October was  such a tough, transitional month for so many people (is anyone else feeling that Winter funk?!), how they want to feel moving forward, and give tips and tricks for everyone listening to find their centered self this season and beyond.

 

If you’re interested in learning more about reiki & Kelsey’s journey, head to Episode 42 of the podcast to hear Kelsey’s first interview with us!

 

PLUS Jordan and Kelsey are excited to lead a retreat together in Palm Springs in January – and you’re invited!! They are hosting an all-inclusive manifestation, yoga, Reiki, intention-setting, relaxation, get-into-the-new-year-with-magical-vibes retreat!

When: January 19-21, 2018 Where: Two Bunch Palms Resort, Desert Hot Springs, CA How: Click this link to get your tickets from Eventbrite

We’d also like to thank Four Sigmatic for being amazing and supporting the show! Mushroom coffee is big food health trend right now, probably because it’s full of adaptogens, superfoods, and other things that are super good for you! Jordan drinks Four Sigmatic Coffee every single day. She loves the original mushroom coffee in the morning (which doesn’t actually taste like the mushrooms you’re familiar with), but they also have these great Sleep Sticks for nighttime. Balanced Blonde listeners can go to FourSigmatic.com/BLONDE to get 15% off of your order, AND we’re hosting a giveaway!!

If you want to join the giveaway, purchase something from Four Stigmatic using the link above, or Jordan’s code at checkout (BLONDE).

 

If you haven’t heard, Jordan is also a big fan of the people at HUM Nutrition! It’s an all-natural line of supplements and their goal is to use science-based and clinical-backed nutrition as a tool for helping people feel amazing. Jordan only forms relationships with people that are making a positive change in the wellness industry, so she loves that they focus on inner beauty and holistically approaching outer beauty concerns from within!

Over 50 & Flourishing
Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!

After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings
Real talk? Modern parenting is a doozy. There’s never been more pressure to be perfect with social media readily at our fingertips - mixed with total isolation and no help. Where the f*ck is that village everyone talks about? Consider After Bedtime your village. Led by Kristin and Deena - founders of the largest online parenting community, Big Little Feelings - After Bedtime is the place you can go at the end of a long hard day to find your “enough”-ness. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll maybe pee our pants a little as we unpack things we’re ALL experiencing but too ashamed to talk about: imperfect marriages, miscarriages, managing toddler mania, apologizing to our kids and everything in between. You’ll leave with actionable, realistic tips to make this whole parenting thing smoother - small changes, big impact. In an age where parents need more *real* connection than ever, let’s talk honestly about the hard - and remind ourselves we are not alone, we are not failing. In fact, we’re f*cking crushing it.

Live From Bed
Live From Bed is your official invitation to hide from the world with me — your permission slip to unravel out loud. Every Wednesday, I pull the covers over my head and drag my favorite people in with me — from internet sensations to experts — to celebrate our bad habits, worst traits, and the internal monologues that probably make both our therapists and the group chat nervous. We talk about the friendships that downgraded from ride-or-die to ‘hope you're well’, the plans we’re praying get canceled, the milestones we’re nowhere near — and the texts we wish we hadn’t sent. If your best friend’s ignoring your FaceTime… and you’ve already messed up one too many social interactions this week, this is your place. No unsolicited advice. No annoying success stories. Just the things we all think but wish someone else would say first — and a whole lot of commiserating.

Come Together
Time to cut the cameras and turn ON the mic — Erin and Abe Lichy are pulling back the curtain on the wild ride of marriage, sex, business, and everything in between in Come Together. As a powerhouse couple who’ve built empires together—Erin as a serial entrepreneur, interior designer, and Real Housewives of New York star, and Abe as a sharp legal mind and founder of The Advisory—they’re the couple you want at your dinner party, the ones you want to grab a drink with, and the first ones you’ll turn to for advice. Each week, the duo will dive into the real, raw, and often unspoken realities of blending parenting, business, and love — all while keeping it real. With their signature honesty, wit, and easygoing vibe, they’re baring it all. Whether they’re talking business wins, how to keep the spark alive after nearly 15 years, or just the chaos of everyday life, no topic is off-limits. Tune in every Monday for the real secret behind what it really takes to Come Together.
