In this episode of Glow Social Hour, I sit down with Jordan to talk about how she transformed her passion for Pilates into a thriving business and wellness community.

She shares her journey from healthcare management to becoming a sought-after Pilates instructor, the pivotal life moments that inspired her to take the leap, and the importance of building authentic community. From teaching private clients to filming flows on Apple TV, Jordan’s story is proof that following your passion—even when it feels uncertain—can open doors you never imagined.
