Reinventing Yourself in the Messy Middle with Dr. Jordan Graeme
In this episode, Shannon sits down with Dr. Jordan Graeme for a raw and relatable conversation about navigating life’s “messy middle” — the in-between season where old chapters close before the new ones fully arrive.
Jordan shares her deeply personal journey: rebuilding after an abusive marriage in her twenties, facing fertility challenges, becoming a mom, losing her hair to alopecia, and most recently, being laid off from her hospital career of 10 years. Together, Shannon and Jordan talk about what it feels like to lose your identity, question your path, and find your footing again in a world that often expects you to keep it all together.
This episode is not about fixing the hard seasons — it’s about honoring them, finding support, and making space for the whispers that show up when life finally quiets down.
In this episode, they explore:
- The emotional impact of losing a long-standing career
- Identity, worthiness, and redefining success
- How burnout, pace, and survival mode block creativity
- Why slowing down helps reveal what you’re truly called to do
- Navigating fertility struggles and postpartum alopecia
- Reclaiming confidence and womanhood after losing hair
- The power of community and letting yourself be seen
- Jordan’s early steps into writing her first book
- Simple practices that help bring safety, clarity, and presence back into the body
