Petal and Pivot is a biweekly lifestyle and self-help podcast created by Jordyn as she goes through her 20s learning to embrace the beautiful rose petals of life while learning to accept challenges and pivot towards new opportunities. Tune in every other Thursday to chit-chat about life lessons, habits, hobbies, mental health, grad school and whatever else comes to mind that week. Each episode will also include journal prompts and actionable steps so we can continue our self-improvement journey together. Hope to see you again soon!
