Pura Vida & the Power of Starting Over: A Conversation with Jordan from Ivy Wild Wellness
What happens when you listen to your nervous system instead of your notifications?
That’s the question at the heart of this week’s episode of Your Next Business Bestie, where I had the joy of chatting with Jordan, the founder of Ivy Wild Wellness—a Costa Rica–based yoga teacher, fertility educator, and all-around grounded goddess.
Leaving Burnout Behind
Jordan’s journey started where many of ours do: burnout, disconnection, and a gnawing sense that something had to change. She left behind a tech career and a go-go-go lifestyle in the U.S. and made her way to Costa Rica, where she began rebuilding her life based on ease, alignment, and healing.
Her story isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the real, messy, brave work of choosing peace over pressure. And it’s a powerful reminder that healing often begins the moment we stop pushing and start listening.
What We Talked About
Our conversation covered a lot of ground, including:
🌿 The role of yin yoga in nervous system healing
🩸 Why fertility awareness is for everyone, not just those trying to conceive
🧘 How spiritual practices can bring you back to yourself
🏡 The challenges (and beauty) of starting over in a new country
🔄 The importance of honoring your body’s cycles—both monthly and over a lifetime
Jordan also opened up about how she built Ivy Wild Wellness with intention, crafting offerings that help others reconnect with their inner rhythm, just as she did.
