Takes more than just one night.

Hi, I'm Jordan.

I'm an author, podcast host, and professional overthinker who somehow turned talking to herself into a career.

For a long time, I thought I had to have all the answers before I was allowed to tell my story. I believed healing was something you finished, confidence was something you earned, and success belonged to people who were somehow braver than I was.

I was wrong.

My life has been messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, hilarious, and full of chapters I never saw coming. I've navigated trauma, grief, anxiety, rebuilding my identity, starting over, questioning everything I thought I wanted, and learning that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply refuse to shrink.

Those experiences became stories.

Some of them became podcast episodes. Others became novels. All of them became pieces of me.

Through my podcast, Taking Up Space, I share the conversations I wish someone had with me years ago—the ones about boundaries, self-worth, creativity, loneliness, dreaming bigger, healing, and what it really looks like to build a life that feels like your own.

Through my books, I get to explore those same themes in entirely different worlds. Whether it's contemporary romance or fantasy, I'm always drawn to imperfect characters learning that they're worthy of taking up space exactly as they are.

When I'm not writing, you'll probably find me wandering a bookstore convincing myself I don't need another novel, getting lost somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, drinking an iced coffee that's mostly cream, hanging out with my dogs, or outlining three different books instead of finishing the one I'm currently writing.

If you've ever felt like you're rebuilding your life one small decision at a time...

If you've ever questioned whether you're too late, too much, or not enough...

If you're learning how to trust yourself again...

You're in the right place.

I'm really glad you're here.
