What happens when you stop making yourself smaller, and start trusting what your life is trying to tell you?
Seattle-based filmmaker and editor Chelsea Newton joins Jordan for an honest conversation about learning to take up space, trusting your own voice, and building a life that actually fits.
They talk about friendship, vulnerability, self-doubt, and the long work of getting honest about what you want. Chelsea shares stories from hiking the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail, moving across the country, building a career in film, and learning to stop putting everyone else at the center at her own expense.
Chelsea also reflects on the times she has made herself smaller, questioned whether her ideas mattered, or downplayed her own experience. Together, she and Jordan talk about what it means to recognize your own strength, make space for yourself, and move toward a life that feels more like your own.
It is also a conversation about growth that never really ends. About trying something before you know exactly where it will lead, allowing yourself to change, and realizing that maybe we are always arriving somewhere new.
