Jordan Younger: Breaking Vegan and Recovering from Orthorexia
Episode 79: Jordan Younger is the blogger behind top-read health and lifestyle blog The Balanced Blonde. She is also the creator of the health-inspired conscious clothing line TBV Apparel, which now retails internationally. Jordan lives in sunny Los Angeles with her kitten Hudson where she blogs full-time and just released her first book, an eating disorder recovery memoir titled Breaking Vegan.This is Jordan's second time to appear on the podcast (listen to our first conversation here) and I'm so happy to have her back. If I were to have any "cyber twin" out there, I would have to say that she is it. We have gone through so many of the same things in regards to veganism, extremism, obsession and disordered eating behavior. I know that if you resonate with my message, you're definitely going to love hers!By the way, HERE is a video we were in together earlier this year :)
