We Need to Stop Putting People on Pedestals

This week on De-Influenced, we are officially in our back-to-school era… and apparently that means approximately 400 drop-offs, pick-ups, soccer practices and things to remember every single day. 😂 We're talking about the chaos of getting the kids into a routine, whether we need to seriously re-divide the mental load in our marriage, and why Dani is apparently preparing for the collapse of the financial system by selling her clothes on Instagram. Normal stuff!! Then Jordan takes us down one of his latest history rabbit holes and somehow we end up having a conversation we've never really had before: IVF, frozen embryos and the complicated questions surrounding when life begins. We definitely don't have all the answers, but we talk through where we're conflicted, why this topic feels so personal and sensitive, and why sometimes faith leaves room for questions. Plus, why we need to stop putting people on pedestals, Dani's thoughts on moms judging other moms, Jordan's Nashville makeover…and somehow, by the end of the episode, we're talking about whether dragons were real. Basically, a very normal episode of De-Influenced. 😂 We love y'all!!
