Ep. 102 ft. Jane Younger – Dirty Martinis & Skinny Jeans Dishes on Parenting, Lyme Disease, Jordan’s Engagement, & More!

By | October 31, 2024

Jordan chats with Jane Younger – her mother, her best friend, and the fashion blogger behind Dirty Martinis and Skinny Jeans – about something monumentally huge that happened since the last episode… Jordan’s engagement to Jonathan (you can find all the deets about The Proposal Story in Jordan’s blog)!!

 

You know that Jordan hasn’t been feeling her best lately, between Lyme Disease and mold poisoning and a whole host of other things, but over these past couple weeks she has been riding the vibration of LOVE and feeling better than she has in a very long time. She and her mom discuss her journey in this episode and what they’ve both learned along the way.

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.
