    430. Ally Lewber on All Things Astrology, Her Breakup with James, Vanderpump’s Scandoval Details & The Future of Her Career as an Intuitive
    Jun 4 2025
    In today’s episode, I’m joined by the beautiful and soulful Ally Lewber — astrologer, intuitive, and yes, you probably know her from Vanderpump Rules. But this convo goes way beyond the reality show—although you know I am the biggest fan of VPR ever, ever.We talk all about Ally’s spiritual awakening, her journey into astrology and the intuitive arts, what it’s really like being in the public eye while walking a conscious path, and how she’s navigated relationships, boundaries, and self-discovery along the way. She opens up about trusting her inner voice, learning to hold duality, and staying grounded while the world watches your every move.If you’re curious about astrology, navigating a spiritual path while still living in a very human world, or just want to hear from someone who’s gracefully balancing both — this one’s for you. Ally is the real deal, and this episode is pure heart. Plus, we get into her breakup with James and she shares the TRUTH of what happened. She is pure grace!! You guys will love this convo!

    429. SOLO: The Wildest Interactions I’ve Ever Had With My Followers, How Being an Influencer Has Changed Over the Years, Thoughts On Polyamory, Plant Medicine & Parasocial Relationships
    May 28 2025
    In today’s solo episode, I’m diving into the wildest — and I mean wildest — interactions I’ve ever had with my followers. I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s really like to live a life online, especially in this new era where parasocial relationships blur all kinds of boundaries. If you’ve ever wondered what it actually feels like to be on the receiving end of the internet’s projections, praise, and projections-in-disguise-as-praise... this one's for you.We also get into how being an influencer has changed over the years — especially post-pandemic, post-algorithmic collapse, and mid-spiritual awakening. I share my unfiltered thoughts on how the space has evolved, what I’ve outgrown, what I still love, and where I see it all heading next. Spoiler: it has a lot to do with authenticity, nervous system safety, and energetic boundaries.Plus, we go there — polyamory (the Aubrey Marcus pod, yep we’re going there), plant medicine journeys, online judgment culture, and what happens when people think they know everything about you from what you choose to share. This episode is very stream of consciousness and fun. If you're into behind-the-scenes storytelling with a little philosophical depth, press play and let's unpack it all.

  • 428. The Truth About Detox, How Much Protein You Really Need & Holistic Healing to Live Your Best Life with Health Coach Meghan Swidler

    428. The Truth About Detox, How Much Protein You Really Need & Holistic Healing to Live Your Best Life with Health Coach Meghan Swidler
    May 21 2025
    As a Canadian native and Cornell University graduate working for a venture-backed hyper growth tech startup in both San Francisco and New York City, everything seemed great on paper. Yet, beneath the surface, Meghan found herself feeling disconnected, lethargic, lonely, anxious, low energy, and out of alignment with herself. The fast-paced corporate life left her seeking a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.After graduating from college in 2013, her journey towards true healing began after a series of life-changing encounters with a naturopath. Determined to reclaim her health, she immersed herself in holistic practices and transformed her body and mind through food/eating, cleansing, movement, mental/emotional well-being, and spiritual growth. Every free moment she had was spent studying and practicing holistic health and healing, guided by master teachers, books, events, podcasts, and really anything that she could get my hands on. This still holds true today.Today we are diving deep into Meghan’s methods, her approach to health and wellbeing, her beliefs on detox, her thoughts (and Jordan’s!) on protein consumption and diet for women, and so much more.

  • 427. SOLO: The One Shift That Changed Everything for Me: The Spiritual Art of Not Giving a F*ck

    427. SOLO: The One Shift That Changed Everything for Me: The Spiritual Art of Not Giving a F*ck
    May 14 2025
    There comes a moment in every healing journey where you realize: you can’t keep betraying yourself just to be liked. That’s what I was doing for YEARS. In this episode, I’m diving deep into the one shift that changed absolutely everything for me — boundaries, baby. The spiritual art of not giving a f*ck. From letting go of toxic friendships to choosing peace over saying yes to all of the people/friendships/things that no longer served me, I share what it really looks like to stop abandoning yourself and start living in full energetic integrity. As a born & raised people pleaser, this shift has been HUGE.I share personal stories throughout & we talk about the nervous system science behind people-pleasing, the spiritual truth about self-respect, and the raw, unfiltered moments that got me here. If you’ve ever felt guilty for saying no, terrified to disappoint someone, or addicted to being the “nice one,” this episode is your permission slip to rewrite the rules. You came here to be free, not palatable — and your soul knows it.MY MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blondeMy Substack: https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com.

  • 425. Coming Back to Life with Kelsey Patel: Radical Permission to Rest, Her Social Media Hiatus, & What’s To Come As She Steps Away from Being “A Healer”

    425. Coming Back to Life with Kelsey Patel: Radical Permission to Rest, Her Social Media Hiatus, & What’s To Come As She Steps Away from Being “A Healer”
    Apr 30 2025

    This updated conversation with one of my best friends in the world, my angel bestie who officiated our wedding, the one who has healed all of us in so many ways and then some, Kelsey Patel, is SO special. Kelsey was last on the show several years ago—and was first on the show in 2017! She has been taking a long hiatus from social media and work as she has stepped into motherhood, and she has overcome so much. We have both been through such anxiety & pain journeys, and today Kelsey shares so candidly and openly.


    This conversation will rock your world and change your life. Follow @kelseyjpatel on IG for the daily, and check out her website, her app, and all the magic that is to come on all of her platforms. <3 SO grateful for her being so open with us today. LOVE you all.
