De-Influenced with Dani + Jordan

This week on De-Influenced, we are officially in our back-to-school era… and apparently that means approximately 400 drop-offs, pick-ups, soccer practices and things to remember every single day. 😂 We're talking about the chaos of getting the kids into a routine, whether we need to seriously re-divide the mental load in our marriage, and why Dani is apparently preparing for the collapse of the financial system by selling her clothes on Instagram. Normal stuff!!

Then Jordan takes us down one of his latest history rabbit holes and somehow we end up having a conversation we've never really had before: IVF, frozen embryos and the complicated questions surrounding when life begins. We definitely don't have all the answers, but we talk through where we're conflicted, why this topic feels so personal and sensitive, and why sometimes faith leaves room for questions.

Plus, why we need to stop putting people on pedestals, Dani's thoughts on moms judging other moms, Jordan's Nashville makeover…and somehow, by the end of the episode, we're talking about whether dragons were real.

Basically, a very normal episode of De-Influenced. 😂

We love y'all!! Thanks for listening! 🤍

Things got a little TOO honest this week. 😂 Jordan admits he was fully spiraling after a chaotic few weeks of traveling, sick kids and approximately zero alone time—and Dani shares the surprisingly simple thing that apparently fixed everything overnight. Marriage with four kids, people!!!

Then we get into the internet's obsession with judging parents, Dani responds to getting called "out of touch" over her minivan comments, and we ask: can anyone take a joke anymore?! Plus, we're diving into the controversy around homeschooling, the wild claims that some of what we know about Blue Zones and longevity may be based on faulty data, and whether churches and pastors should mix faith, politics and media.

Basically… marriage, parenting, internet drama and a few rabbit holes we probably shouldn't have gone down. Enjoy!!

Happy Thursday, De-Influencers!!

We are ALL over the place today 😂 We’re starting with a little life update from Nashville before getting into the things we think are actually worth splurging on… and apparently Dani and Jordan have VERY different definitions of a “splurge.” We’re also settling the debate on tipping culture because WHY does every screen ask for 30% now?!

Then things take a deeper turn. Jordan found a study on creator mental health that led us into a really honest conversation about Dani’s 15 years on the internet, burnout, tying your worth to numbers and what success looks like when the internet moves on to the next person.

And finally, we’re talking about the Lindsay Clancy case and the really difficult conversation surrounding postpartum mental health, postpartum psychosis and criminal responsibility. This one is heavy, so we give a warning before getting into it for anyone who may not be in a place to listen right now.

Basically… deodorant, index funds, influencer existential crises and true crime. A very normal episode of De-Influenced 😂

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!! Thanks for hanging with us every week. 🤍

Our Costa Rica trip was honestly one of our favorite family vacations EVER…and then the trip

home happened. 😂

This week we're recapping everything—from our flight getting canceled, getting stranded in

Charlotte with four kids, and somehow still managing to laugh through all of it. We also ended

up having a surprisingly real conversation about control, why Jordan finally took his shoes off

(it's deeper than it sounds 😂), and what moving to Nashville has been teaching us about letting

go.

Plus we're sharing fun facts about Costa Rica, why we'd absolutely go back, and a few

unexpected lessons we brought home with us. As always, this episode has a little bit of

everything!!

This week we're catching up on everything that's happened over the last few days... and somehow it includes a trip to urgent care, a fake broken toe, girls' night, minivan debates, and a life update after our move to Nashville.

We also answer some of your questions about how we're really doing since the move, what work looks like now, missing family, surviving life with four kids, and why neither of us is getting much sleep these days.

As always, it's a little chaotic, a lot of laughing, and feels like you're hanging out in the living room with us.
