115. Epiphany Jordan: On Nurturing Human Touch

In this episode, we're joined by Epiphany Jordan. Epiphany is a caregiver and nurturer by nature and profession. From running a guesthouse to hosting large events to managing busy executives’ lives, she brings humor, wisdom, patience, and acceptance to her interactions with other people. She has a B.A. in journalism and considers herself a grammar geek. In the past, she has worked as a bartender, journalist, cigarette girl, legal assistant, and advice columnist. She has been reading tarot for 30 years and finds it to be a fascinating study into archetypal human experiences.

From 2013-2020, she was the owner Karuna Sessions, a hands-on touch business that provided immersive touch therapy in a ritualized setting. Epiphany also runs her sister business, Blue Star Temple, in Austin, TX. She has been trained by the Institute for Mind Body Therapy to work with therapists to provide integrated care to clients and has also studied with The Body Electric School.

Epiphany is the author of "Somebody Hold Me: The Single Person's Guide to Nurturing Human Touch." Her favorite element is water, and she can often be found under the trees on the side of the hill at Barton Springs. Her mantra is "evolution, not revolution" and she considers herself a social artist, painting visions of how things could be on the canvas of our world.

In this episode, we explore:

the benefits of touch
nurturing human touch
cultural reasons for less human touch
immersive touch therapy

and loads more.
