In her words, she \u201chanded her dream over to God,\u201d and when a husband and then three children came into her life, she felt that her decision was confirmed and her role as a wife and mother took priority. Today, she helps others become their own wellness advocates and continues to energize any room or community she walks into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jen\u2019s experience with oils began around 2009 when her sister, April Pointer\u2014also a Royal Crown Diamond\u2014introduced her to Young Living. Jen started using essential oils two years later, but only as a \u201ccloset oiler,\u201d despite the fact that the oils changed her life. She reluctantly taught her first class, thinking that the attendees would just \u201cgo away\u201d after listening. Of course, that didn\u2019t happen.&nbsp;<br>With a life motto of \u201cLove God; love people,\u201d Jen has built her business around encouraging, empowering, and building up others. She explains that she is \u201ccontinuing a culture of positivity\u201d in the lives of the leaders she works with. Jen and her husband, Adaryll, are inspired to continue that generosity with those they meet in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Podcast-jenjordan_Micrographic_US-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1214\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On today\u2019s episode we\u2019re lucky to sit in on a conversation between two friends: Chief Sales Officer Ben Riley and Royal Crown Diamond Jen Jordan.&nbsp;Growing up, Jen knew she wanted to be a doctor; but on her way to getting a degree, she realized that another calling may be more suited to her skillset and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Jen-Jordan-Final-11719-3.27-PM.mp3","transcript_file":"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/JenJordanTranscript.pdf","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"43:06","filesize":"78.92M","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"82749151","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,201,2],"tags":[227,53,259,260,256,257,87,258,79,71],"series":[12],"aioseo_notices":[],"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Podcast-jenjordan_Header2_US.jpg","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cropped-YL-Drop-Podcast-300x100-1.png","download_link":"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/podcast-download\/1202\/joy-in-the-journey-a-conversation-with-ben-riley-and-jen-jordan.mp3","player_link":"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/podcast-player\/1202\/joy-in-the-journey-a-conversation-with-ben-riley-and-jen-jordan.mp3","audio_player":"<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1202-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/podcast-player\/1202\/joy-in-the-journey-a-conversation-with-ben-riley-and-jen-jordan.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/podcast-player\/1202\/joy-in-the-journey-a-conversation-with-ben-riley-and-jen-jordan.mp3\">https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/podcast-player\/1202\/joy-in-the-journey-a-conversation-with-ben-riley-and-jen-jordan.mp3<\/a><\/audio>","episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":[],"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/feed\/podcast\/drop-of-inspiration","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"eFSnu9m5Kr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/joy-in-the-journey-a-conversation-with-ben-riley-and-jen-jordan\/\">Joy in the Journey: A Conversation with Ben Riley and Jen Jordan<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/podcast\/joy-in-the-journey-a-conversation-with-ben-riley-and-jen-jordan\/embed\/#?secret=eFSnu9m5Kr\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Joy in the Journey: A Conversation with Ben Riley and Jen Jordan&#8221; &#8212; Young Living Essential Oils | The YL Drop\" data-secret=\"eFSnu9m5Kr\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\n\/*!
