De-Influenced with Dani + Jordan

This week, Dani and Jordan are questioning whether being too unfiltered on the podcast is finally catching up with them. Jordan issues an apology after his Alix Earle/Braxton Berrios “source” turns out to be… not so reliable, and they get into the weird reality of sharing honest opinions when the people you’re talking about might actually hear them. Plus, Dani recaps the Chiefs game with Brittany Mahomes, meeting Lainey Wilson, and the constant mom struggle of deciding what to say yes to. Then Jordan takes SIX personality tests, feeds the results to AI, and discovers the “primal loop” driving basically everything he does. Naturally, that sends them down a full AI rabbit hole involving therapy, data centers, almond milk, Google’s future, and whether robots are about to take over. Just a normal week on De-Influenced.

Can you really have it all — the career, the family, the marriage, the dreams…all at the same time? This week, Dani and Jordan are diving into the new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, from Taylor Frankie Paul’s ongoing chaos to Jen and Zac’s struggle to balance marriage, family, and big career ambitions. But the conversation quickly hits close to home. Dani and Jordan reflect on a season in their own marriage when Dani was considering reality TV and they didn’t always see eye-to-eye on what pursuing the next big opportunity could mean for their family. They get candid about ambition, motherhood, supporting your spouse’s dreams, and how you decide which opportunities are worth saying yes to in different seasons of life. Plus, Jordan takes us down a wild airplane rabbit hole, Dani shares an update on her new workout obsession, and they recap everything happening in their lives lately. Can you chase every dream and still protect what matters most? Let’s get into it. Thank you to our sponsors: Hiya Health: Receive 50% off your first order on any of their products.

We have A LOT to unpack this week. Dani is officially hooked on Alix Earle’s new reality show — and somehow Jordan is too — which leads us straight into the Braxton Berrios breakup, why Dani thinks Alix may have chosen her career over the relationship, and a little piece of information Jordan has apparently been sitting on: Braxton had a ring?! We also get into the Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper drama and whether Alix Earle was actually taken advantage of by the Unwell Network or simply outgrew the deal she signed. Plus, Dani takes Jordan down the absolutely WILD rabbit hole of former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s paternity scandal and the Love Trapped podcast. Then we get a little deeper: Has our culture made marriage harder by convincing people they need to have their entire lives figured out before finding a spouse? We talk about building a life with someone versus waiting until you’ve built it alone, influencer culture at live events, and whether creators have officially gone too far. It’s pop culture, marriage, internet rabbit holes and plenty of unsolicited opinions. Let’s get into it.

This week, Dani and Jordan are catching up on everything from Dani finally getting back into working out six months postpartum to a very real conversation about SSRIs, anxiety, and what happens when you try to come off medication too quickly. Then we get into the internet rabbit holes: the man who allegedly spent years pretending to be a San Francisco 49ers player and scammed 26 women out of more than $1 million, AI agents that are starting to sound a little too much like the plot of a sci-fi movie, and why everyone suddenly seems to be trading screen time for sourdough, sewing, and embroidery. Plus, Dani and Jordan talk about how life has shifted since moving to Nashville, redefining what “success” actually looks like, and why being surrounded by people who value faith, family, and fruitfulness over achievements has been surprisingly challenging — in the best way. It’s internet chaos, life updates, a few rabbit holes, and some unexpectedly deep thoughts. Basically… a very De-Influenced episode.

Would you pay $6,500 to get your baby to sleep? Because apparently… that’s an option. 😂 This week, Dani and Jordan debate whether they’re desperate enough to hire a three-day baby sleep trainer — and somehow that turns into a much bigger conversation about all the things parents are told they need to be doing for their kids. Plus, Jordan officially becomes THAT dad at 4-year-old soccer, Dani survives her first workout back, and a missing credit card sparks a marriage argument. Then they get into the internet debate around Forrest Frank’s viral shirtless photo and whether there’s a double standard when it comes to modesty for men and women. Later, things get a little deeper as Dani and Jordan unpack cessationism vs. continuationism, spiritual gifts, speaking in tongues, healing, modern-day prophets and discernment. Dani shares how growing up in a charismatic church shaped the way she approaches faith today — including one question she still wrestles with: Is it the Holy Spirit… or is it the music? And because no De-Influenced episode is complete without a rabbit hole, Jordan found data on where single people should actually live if they want to get married… and apparently your ZIP code might matter more than you think. Basically: sleep-deprived parents, soccer dads, internet debates, spiritual gifts and dating statistics. A very normal week over here.
