You're not boring at all! You're definitely the cool girl that all of us would love to be friends with. The way you express yourself feels so authentic, close and personal (hence the voicenotes branding). You radiate such genuine energy and all of your content is so easy to digest even if it's as simple as this episode. To me it doesn't feel lazy or low effort, more like realistic and something we all experience. Keep doing you, and even small efforts are still efforts.
omg the birth control pill thing is just so relatable and true to me. I got on the pill at 15 because my periods were completely unmanageable - hurt like hell (like insanely painful), medicine didn't help, the flow was super heavy and they were irregular. so I was just happy to be on the pill cause my period got easy and manageable. then I got into a almost 3 year relationship, then my current one, and realised one day that I've been on the same pill for 6 years, and since I got them as a teenager, I don't even know who I am actually?? I never paid attention to it before because I heard all of these horror stories around me and my pill didn't give me acne, make me gain weight, or anything like it. but I realised that I was so mad and easily irritable all the time, which everyone brushed off as me just being "dramatic" and "like my dad" ?? now I've finally gotten new pills and considering an IUD, since my wonderful new gynaecologist, who really listens and understands, said it could work. I can't be completely without one since my periods are so insane and I'm in a long-term relationship. everyday I curse the medical system, it's indeed super misogynistic and dismissive of any women's problems fr. if birth control pills were for men, they would have no side effects, I'm so sure of that.
I relate to this. Every medication has side effects so if the pill was for men it would certainly also have side effects and that is why it is not for men actually. It's very misogynistic indeed. They have tested birth control on men but it has not been tested enough apparently. Some people say birth control is much more easy to make for women because it's just one egg. For men, it's more complex. But I'm sure it isn't something so complex that science can't find a solution for, it's just not convenient for big companies to put effort into that
You’re not boring at all! I could listen to you talk about anything for hours. You’re so relatable and funny and smart it’s like listening to a friend ramble. Your makeup looks stunning!
Omg girl i could listen you chat shit for hours and enjoy it! You’re so intelligent and beautiful its so sad to hear ur not feeling 100% in yourself. I know we all have our off periods but just know we are all here to support u! Lots of love xxx
the pill isn’t for everyone! im glad you found out it wasn’t for you and you’re better off of it. for me it was actually the opposite, since i have PMDD and Von Willebrand Disease, both my mood swings and how much I bled on my period became super dangerous. i feel like i was a different person before I went on the pill, and I didn’t have control over myself and kept lashing out and hurting people. the first couple pills I tried helped some but they still had side effects like you said. i found the pill that worked for me, Yaz, (you mentioned you were on Yazmin and I guess that might be the brand name over in the UK?) because it’s the only one actually proven to work for PMDD, and it helps clear up acne and doesn’t cause bloating. And it keeps my clotting factor higher so I’m not at risk for bleeding too much. So going on the pill for me was a lifesaver and I don’t have any side effects (or maybe the side effects just actually benefit me lol). But I can imagine if you don’t have those conditions it would just give you more side effects, so I totally get why you went off of it. The way it should work is women shouldn’t be forced to go on the pill, and the side effects should be taken seriously, but for those that need it it should be easily accessible! I appreciate the way you approached the topic because I see a lot of fearmongering online about the pill. Glad to hear you’re doing better!
Hi Jordan, your creative block sounds just like my struggle with trying different contraceptive pills. I’ve tried three pills so far and none have helped my awful periods. I’m studying for my a levels and for a good month and a half I struggled to motivate myself to work and my head felt really fuzzy!!! Like I couldn’t focus on anything and that I had lost the spark with my work. The progesterone pill just made me cry every day and it was the third type I’d tried. As soon as the hormones passed and I stopped taking the pill the creative block stopped! Honestly the best work I’ve ever done was once the block was over and I was so happy cos I could really think again!!!
I'm SO glad you're talking about coming off the pill because I'm going thru the same thing rn and you're right, it's not being studied so I feel so much less alone when I hear other people describe their experiences with it. I stopped taking mine in January, and already in April I have so much more energy and am able to think clearly again for the first time in years. Everyone will react differently to the pill and I wish someone had told me it was possible to get extreme fatigue and brain fog from taking the pill. I had to do so much experimenting on my own to figure out what was causing my suffering!! anyway thank you for talking about this
Omg thank you for talking about birth control. I have a similar experience. I started BC at 18 y/o which is near the time my dad left. I've been an especially anxious person ever since. Within the past year my periods have been so much worse and I was diagnosed with PMDD. I would get way more anxious, so so fatigued, and my mood swings were effecting my relationship. Luckily, I haven't had much of a withdrawal other than a few days of a mild headache. It also definitely came from a place of wanting to know "who I am" without BC after taking it for nearly 10 years!!! Still waiting for my first period and I'm a lil nervous but excited.
Thank you for talking about the pill!!! I'm also just now off the pill and I've been really scared about how my body will bounce back. Talked to my doctor and that definitely wasn't helpful 🤦♀️ she just told me that most women don't have those side effects and I was like?? Um? OK? Good for them??? I've been on the pill for 3 years and it's been nothing but trouble since I started. I've literally had ALL of the possible side effects and I'm DONE. If you don't like the way contraceptives make you feel then there is no shame in getting off it and talking about your experience. Doesn't mean the pill is all bad, but a lot of people just don't react to it well.
Jordan I had exactly the same experience with the pill. I started at 16 and stopped 1.5 years later. I LITERALLY cried every day while on it. I felt super guilty about my mood swings especially when I took it out on other people. I felt like I couldn’t trust myself and my emotions because my mood swings usually came out of nowhere, so I would wrack my brain trying to find a justification for it. It took me another ~2 years after coming off the pill to feel like my normal self again.
@@foggyday-v7s not really for me, just try to be patient with yourself and talk about your situation with your friends/family so they know what you are going through. I did keep a color coded mood diary while on the pill, maybe that could be useful to understand your natural cycle better when coming off the pill?
firstly, you're not boring!! secondly, you look incredible and you're stunning in this lowkey makeup! 😻😻😻 some topics, as a friendly and curious suggestion (either for a podcast or a regular video) - fandoms, your experiences with fandoms (if u have any), which did you enjoy the most and which ones did you find toxic or sth. OR just rant about your favorite AND least favorite tv show! girl you could talk abt paint on the walls and I would still be interested 😂🌼💕
just fyi i don't know anything about some of the topics your videos are on (never heard of a WAG in my life) but i'll sit there and fully enjoy it and wonder how these 40min vids just fly by bc you're that funny and make anything interesting and enjoyable to listen to. i like that you just talk like you're chatting w a friend and don't try to put on any airs of importance yet i still come out learning a lot
Girl, your voice and your vibe and your cadence in what you say is so fun, i literally can't explain it but i love love your podcast always lolll so excited for the next episodes!!! Im a fool for fanfiction content lol xo
Omg Jordan this episode was as good as all your other episodes. The truth is we love your content, especially your podcast because of YOU. So please don't be too hard on yourself. And I do think unplugging from social media is a great way to try and overcome creative block, especially because there seems to be a lot of 'bad vibes' going around online and that's not conducive to creative energy and the excitement and hope surrounding creating. And you look absolutely beautiful in this video!
I think I prefer this makeup a lot more! Your actual face shines through a lot more and it's more adding to your own natural beauty than completely augmenting it
Hi Jordan. I love your makeup! I loved it before too but you're glowing. I just wanted to add a thought of mine into the mix. The way you describe your ups and downs literally describes me throughout my 20s. I would have days every week where I would be so down I might not be able to get out of bed and then have great days too. (I wasnt on the pill) I was recently voicing to my partner how I just kind of snapped out of my weekly cycles of depression when I turned 30 and how grateful I was that I was able to grow out of it. He pointed out that my timeline coincided with us moving out of Dublin City, back to our home time and the main difference he could see was that I was no longer going out or drinking to the same extent. It wasn't intentional, I just didn't have the same opportunity to engage in my fave hobby anymore- getting pissed every week. It was a revelation because that was a part of my life that I truly missed but here I am 5 years later being woken up to the fact that I'm just a happier, more stable person now. It just struck me, because you said it was in the new year you started feeling better, but also said you hadn't gone out in 4 months. It could be another factor as well as coming off the pill. I still jump at the chance to head into Dublin whenever I can, but i can see now that the forced balance has really had a positive impact on my life. Up til then I just thought I was an emotionally unstable person who just had to face the fact that depression and mood swings were always going to be a part of my life..... yet here I am 5 years later and it hasn't happened once since ( unless I was hungover 😅😅😅) love this episode xxxx
I’ve been in my numbest era ever so i feel empathetic to you. It’s so hard to getting out of such a sh!t feeling by oneself. I hope you get proper help. Send you an endless support❤
i would love to hear about what current games you’re playing/watching when you list shows, songs, etc at the beginning too :) i watch your podcast videos when im at work (i wfh) and i always love listening and laughing with you :)))
loving the podcasts just as much as the video essays,, was wondering if you would discuss how you effectively manage your ADHD because I struggle with coping with mine
in no way boring! i wait for your videos! they are the best just sitting talking to the camera 🥹 hoping to see next love is blind recap part and the part 2 of you and Lems videos but do your thang girl take your time creativity has to flow, also love the makeup
i feel you sooo much with wanting to be creative and doing new things! i am too thinking about creating a fashion lifestyle channel apart from this booktube one i have but the only think in my head is a tiny voice saying that i am way too boring for people to care. However, you're definitely not boring at all! Love the makeup look too, it looks so sexy !
Jordan you always look absolutely stunning seriously it's hard to even focus on the podcast because your so incredibly pretty but the podcast is always always on point even more chatty episodes like this
Hey, thanks for the podcast. Your make up looks just great and I appreciate you talking about the pill, I felt the same with antidepressants because I started them in high school and still taking them more or less all the time after 6 years, so I also question whatever I know myself good enough
just took the pill for three months as a last resort for terrible hormonal acne I developed during the pandemic….. the pure hell of two months withdrawal/ come down from the pill is awful. Just dead inside for two months with no real reasoning. Couldn’t even work out and I’d been consistently doing so for about two years.
i alwaysss look forward to listening to ur podcast its the highlight of my day, it feels a genuine catch up with a mate i love hearing ur opinions on things!!
In my experience, the transition from taking the birth control pill to stopping is very similar to an identity crisis. When I was on the pill, I was so irrational…
i feel (i think) similarly so often nowadays. it's as if I'm motivated but im not but not in a depressed way. i have so many ideas but i don't. like i can't, in a way, do the stage between ideas and execution. i can't even really identify what that stage is. i just feel like i can't think properly? i'll have SO many ideas but idk i can't even explain it. i wonder if this is similar to your situation
I have PMDD and I'm on my 2nd Kyleena IUD. I had my 1st Kyleena IUD for the full 5 years, and then when that one was ready to be removed I got my current one. The removal and insertion wasn't painful, but pain is subjective. I used to take the pill, but I'd forget to take it sometimes and I like not having to remember to take a pill. The IUD isn't for everyone, but it's definitely my favorite form of birth control that I've tried so far.
You look more beautiful than ever imo❤ and as for your eyes, they are perfect! They can be small compared to the general public (like the lash lady would see) but not small in comparison to your face❤ you're gorgeous and I hope you feel that way soon❤
Oral contraception experience TW 🚨Was put on the pill when I was 11, started getting debilitating migraines around 18, they did everything but take me off the pill. Even Botox and muscle relaxers. Finally I started having issues with my ovaries and went to a gyno at 23. They told me the pill I was on had class action law suits for giving women ovarian cancer, and I had grown a cyst. My male doctor knows ovarian cancer runs in my family and completely disregarded it and even told me to skip the sugar pills which the pharmacy told me I would have a stroke if I did because of my weight and the amount of estrogen. I’ve been off the pill for 2 years and my body still hasn’t recovered. It made my liver shed its lining or something insane??? Just go to a gyno and not your family doctor, they hand it out like candy to get paid! It also wasn’t explained to me that when you’re on the pill you don’t have a real period, it’s just withdrawal bleeding and all your symptoms are withdrawal. So you can’t even rely on cycle info cause it’s not real
Girl that lash tech who told you your eyes are small is actually on another level cos your eyes are gorgeous and big!!!! They’re like doe eyes so idk wtf that woman was on about lmao
Also, my experience with birth control has lead me to realize that it's a lil crazy that doctors can prescribe all these hormones without ever having our hormones tested in the first place. When I first noticed my periods were making me hella anxious (while I was taking oral contraception), the first thing done was to switch me to a low estrogen BC. We don't even know if that's the problem but experimenting with my hormones (which also means experimenting with my mental and physical health) was the best we could do???
It's true! There are ways to prescribe birth control & antidepressants better... but it's expensive and must folks don't know how to ask / can't justify it to their doctor.. It's so frustrating!! I wish women's health was taken seriously:/
We're in eclipse season Theresa 😭😭while Mercury is in retrograde. So it's not you, blame the stars, it's time to slow down and let yourself hibernate until later in May. LolZ as an Astrologer I-
Same!! Two years off the pill (on it for 9 years) and my skin is still awful, I lost so much hair that will take literal years to grow back, and I bleed every two months. So frustrating! We're not alone!
@@alanadeeter6525 Oof yeah, had trouble with hair-loss too! Buuut, mine was actually also caused by low iron, my hair improved dramatically when I got my iron back up with supplements. So if you haven't checked in a while, it might be good to get your iron levels checked out!
Maybe instead of honing in on ideas via watching UA-cam and making lists, you should spend a day or two totally offline, like spend some time in a park or something. Shake things up. Idk, I don't make content lmao
i challenge you to make a video completely make up free (not in a mean way lmao just because i think it can really help with accepting your natural face and stuff)
For the record, I think your make-up looks gorgeous, glowy and natural, even with the big light!
I was thinking just that, she looks stunning!!
thank you so much xxxx
You're not boring at all! You're definitely the cool girl that all of us would love to be friends with.

thank you xxxx

Advice for the girlies -- did anything help with your transition off? Its been 8 years for me and im nervous!
@@foggyday-v7s not really for me, just try to be patient with yourself and talk about your situation with your friends/family so they know what you are going through.

Hi Jordan. I love your makeup! I loved it before too but you're glowing. I just wanted to add a thought of mine into the mix. The way you describe your ups and downs literally describes me throughout my 20s. I would have days every week where I would be so down I might not be able to get out of bed and then have great days too. (I wasnt on the pill) I was recently voicing to my partner how I just kind of snapped out of my weekly cycles of depression when I turned 30 and how grateful I was that I was able to grow out of it. He pointed out that my timeline coincided with us moving out of Dublin City, back to our home time and the main difference he could see was that I was no longer going out or drinking to the same extent. It wasn't intentional, I just didn't have the same opportunity to engage in my fave hobby anymore- getting pissed every week. It was a revelation because that was a part of my life that I truly missed but here I am 5 years later being woken up to the fact that I'm just a happier, more stable person now. It just struck me, because you said it was in the new year you started feeling better, but also said you hadn't gone out in 4 months. It could be another factor as well as coming off the pill. I still jump at the chance to head into Dublin whenever I can, but i can see now that the forced balance has really had a positive impact on my life. Up til then I just thought I was an emotionally unstable person who just had to face the fact that depression and mood swings were always going to be a part of my life..... yet here I am 5 years later and it hasn't happened once since ( unless I was hungover 😅😅😅) love this episode xxxx

You look amazing with your makeup like that!!
In my experience, the transition from taking the birth control pill to stopping is very similar to an identity crisis. When I was on the pill, I was so irrational…
Im going off it next month!! Pls tell me more I want to know what to expect 👀
i really really relate to feeling like you don't have anything to say about anything!!! it's so frustrating, and can feel depressing :(
i feel (i think) similarly so often nowadays. it's as if I'm motivated but im not but not in a depressed way. i have so many ideas but i don't. like i can't, in a way, do the stage between ideas and execution. i can't even really identify what that stage is. i just feel like i can't think properly? i'll have SO many ideas but idk i can't even explain it. i wonder if this is similar to your situation
omg a fanfiction episode yesssssssss i can’t wait :D

You look more beautiful than ever imo❤ and as for your eyes, they are perfect! They can be small compared to the general public (like the lash lady would see) but not small in comparison to your face❤ you're gorgeous and I hope you feel that way soon❤
I always open, when I see u upload❤
I loved the twists in the last season of You

Oral contraception experience TW 🚨Was put on the pill when I was 11, started getting debilitating migraines around 18, they did everything but take me off the pill. Even Botox and muscle relaxers. Finally I started having issues with my ovaries and went to a gyno at 23. They told me the pill I was on had class action law suits for giving women ovarian cancer, and I had grown a cyst. My male doctor knows ovarian cancer runs in my family and completely disregarded it and even told me to skip the sugar pills which the pharmacy told me I would have a stroke if I did because of my weight and the amount of estrogen. I’ve been off the pill for 2 years and my body still hasn’t recovered. It made my liver shed its lining or something insane??? Just go to a gyno and not your family doctor, they hand it out like candy to get paid! It also wasn’t explained to me that when you’re on the pill you don’t have a real period, it’s just withdrawal bleeding and all your symptoms are withdrawal. So you can’t even rely on cycle info cause it’s not real
Girl that lash tech who told you your eyes are small is actually on another level cos your eyes are gorgeous and big!!!! They’re like doe eyes so idk wtf that woman was on about lmao
Also, my experience with birth control has lead me to realize that it's a lil crazy that doctors can prescribe all these hormones without ever having our hormones tested in the first place. When I first noticed my periods were making me hella anxious (while I was taking oral contraception), the first thing done was to switch me to a low estrogen BC. We don't even know if that's the problem but experimenting with my hormones (which also means experimenting with my mental and physical health) was the best we could do???
It's true! There are ways to prescribe birth control & antidepressants better... but it's expensive and must folks don't know how to ask / can't justify it to their doctor.. It's so frustrating!! I wish women's health was taken seriously:/
You remind me of Freddy my love with this makeup - you look great!
You’re always so pretty ❤
Omg I’m also coming off the pill!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
We're in eclipse season Theresa 😭😭while Mercury is in retrograde. So it's not you, blame the stars, it's time to slow down and let yourself hibernate until later in May. LolZ as an Astrologer I-
Makeup looks perfect! Nothing wrong with your nose. And your eyes are small but they’re pretty
You look gorgeous!!! Much love🫶🏻🫶🏻
My skin is still recovering from coming off the pill and it's been 4 years now. The only thing I miss about it is my clear glowy skin lol
Same!! Two years off the pill (on it for 9 years) and my skin is still awful, I lost so much hair that will take literal years to grow back, and I bleed every two months. So frustrating! We're not alone!
@@alanadeeter6525 Oof yeah, had trouble with hair-loss too! Buuut, mine was actually also caused by low iron, my hair improved dramatically when I got my iron back up with supplements. So if you haven't checked in a while, it might be good to get your iron levels checked out!
Happy to be here early 🙏🏻
Related to the books you’re reading- I recommend “Why I am Not a Feminist: a Feminist Manifesto”. Really interesting read.

Maybe instead of honing in on ideas via watching UA-cam and making lists, you should spend a day or two totally offline, like spend some time in a park or something. Shake things up. Idk, I don't make content lmao
i challenge you to make a video completely make up free (not in a mean way lmao just because i think it can really help with accepting your natural face and stuff)
