Ep. #7: Wellness & Self-Care On A Budget w/ Jordan Drankoski

Today’s podcast episode is with Jordan Drankoski — a social media marketing pro, healthy living blogger and former professional dancer. Jordan and I have a ton of common:

• we grew up in the same small town in Westchester (whatup, Somers!)
• we both attended NYU
• we were both performers, her dancing, me acting.
• we both moved to LA post college. Although my LA adventure was short lived.
• we both attended business school — I actually asked her for advice on taking the GMAT and applying to business school.
• AND we are both now healthy living bloggers.

Kind of crazy, right?

I so loved recording this episode (okay, this is true of EVERY episode) and chatting with Jordan about living a life of wellness on a budget and navigating a non-linear career path. Whether you’re trying to figure out how to make wellness work for your lifestyle or you’re looking to make a big career transition, this conversation is for you.

SOME OF THE THINGS WE TALK ABOUT:

• what to do when you’re feeling frazzled.
• embracing BIG changes.
• making sh*t happen in 2018.
• navigating unconventional and non-linear career paths.
• going from professional dancer to business school student (she got her MBA from UCLA!)
• finding a creative outlet through blogging.
• making room for wellness even when you work a traditional 9-5 job.
• favorite free workout resources.
• super simple self-care rituals.
• her guilty pleasure way to decompress at the end of the day.
• how to make self-care super affordable.
• making wellness less stressful and overwhelming.

Tell me your thoughts:

I can’t believe this is episode seven of the podcast! I’ve been absolutely loving sharing these stories of wellness and would love to hear from YOU.

Do you prefer longer (~1 hour) episodes or short (~30 minute) episodes?

Solo episodes (like episode 6) or interviews like this episode?

Chats with wellness experts (personal trainers, health coaches, etc) or regular peeps living a life of wellness?
