Summary
In today’s solo episode, I’m diving into the wildest — and I mean wildest — interactions I’ve ever had with my followers. I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s really like to live a life online, especially in this new era where parasocial relationships blur all kinds of boundaries. If you’ve ever wondered what it actually feels like to be on the receiving end of the internet’s projections, praise, and projections-in-disguise-as-praise... this one's for you.
We also get into how being an influencer has changed over the years — especially post-pandemic, post-algorithmic collapse, and mid-spiritual awakening. I share my unfiltered thoughts on how the space has evolved, what I’ve outgrown, what I still love, and where I see it all heading next. Spoiler: it has a lot to do with authenticity, nervous system safety, and energetic boundaries.
Plus, we go there — polyamory (the Aubrey Marcus pod, yep we’re going there), plant medicine journeys, online judgment culture, and what happens when people think they know everything about you from what you choose to share. This episode is very stream of consciousness and fun. If you're into behind-the-scenes storytelling with a little philosophical depth, press play and let's unpack it all.

| 0:09.1 | Hey guys, it's Jordan Younger, your host of the Balance Blonde Soul on Fire podcast. |
| 0:14.4 | Here we go deep on all things, astrology, awakening, wellness, motherhood, channeling, aliens, and so much more. We have deep conversations. |
| 0:23.9 | We go to other realms. It's a lot of fun. So stick around. Let's dive on in. I cannot wait to connect. |
| 0:34.6 | Hello, my favorite people. Welcome back to the show. I'm so happy that you're here. I am recording this |
| 0:41.7 | episode today from my bed. So you're basically hanging out with me in my natural habitat, |
| 0:48.5 | but don't think that it's like lazy from bed. It's really just my happy place, my creative zone. And currently it happens to be my desk |
| 0:57.7 | because we moved into our new house and we're still getting all of our furniture delivered. |
| 1:03.2 | So I don't even have a desk yet and I'm actually not mad about it. I am so happy from here. |
| 1:10.2 | Atticus left for school this morning. This is his |
| 1:13.1 | final week of school before summer. And he was like, I don't want you to go to work today. And I was |
| 1:19.4 | telling him, I'm not going to work today. I'm working from home. Don't worry. I'll be here when you |
| 1:24.9 | get home. And he was like, I just want you to work from bed |
| 1:28.5 | forever. And I was cracking up because that's what I want to. And that's what we are manifesting. |
| 1:37.4 | It's going to be a bed girl summer. No, a work from bed girl summer. And today we are going to be talking about what it's like to be an |
| 1:46.9 | influencer in 2025. I actually wrote a post on this for my substack today. And people are sending in a lot of |
| 1:55.5 | responses and comments. And I'm getting a lot of not only people who agree and want to hear more, |
| 2:02.9 | but other influencers who are like, please, can you say more about this so that we can |
| 2:08.8 | learn, like all of us, like not like I'm the expert, but so that we can learn together |
| 2:14.1 | how to navigate this time in 2025, because it is wild to be an influencer these days. |
| 2:21.7 | You guys, it's crazy. It's so different than it used to be. And at the same time, I love it and I want |
| 2:29.2 | to do it forever. Like I hope, and I wrote this in the substag post, I hope that I'm 85 years old and I'm |
