Episode 25 | Root of it All w Jennifer Polly

In this episode, Jordhan sits down with Jennifer Polly, a trichologist whose journey into hair loss began in the most unexpected and heartbreaking way. After losing her father in a tragic car accident, Jennifer started experiencing significant hair loss herself—something that would eventually lead to a diagnosis and the reality that she could be bald by the age of 60. What began as grief quickly turned into a deeper battle with identity, confidence, and health. But instead of staying in that place, Jennifer chose to turn her pain into purpose. Drawing on her background as a hairstylist, she pivoted her career to become a trichologist, helping other women navigate their own hair loss journeys with knowledge, empathy, and support. In this conversation, she shares her personal story, breaks down the realities of hair loss, and offers insight into when to seek help and what options are out there. She also opens up about her ongoing heart health challenges, adding another layer to her story of resilience and strength. This episode is honest, informative, and a reminder that even the most difficult chapters can lead to something meaningful.

Episode 24 | Building More w Eva Palichuk

Eva joins the podcast to share what it really looks like to walk away from a career in teaching and step into something completely different. After years in the classroom, she made the leap into the construction world alongside her husband—and hasn’t looked back. She also reflects on immigrating to Canada at just 12 years old, an incredibly impressionable age that shaped so much of who she is today. From navigating a new country and culture to building a life from the ground up, that experience continues to influence how she approaches change and opportunity. The conversation dives into the decision to leave education, the identity shift that comes with it, and what it’s like learning a whole new industry. They talk marriage, working together as a couple, and redefining what success and balance can look like in a new season of life. It’s honest, relatable, and a reminder that it’s never too late to pivot—even if it feels a little scary at first. Where to find Eva Instagram: @evapalichuk @lions_construction @lions_developments
