Keep it Positive, Sweetie · You Think You Know, But You Have No Idea w/ Jordyn Woods · 4 May 2025 podcast

You could have had one month there. Yeah. The time will come. It will. When it's the right time, it will for sure. And I think you would really like it. I like it a lot. The weather is not great.

But the vibe, the people, I just feel like they're not European, but they're kind of European. Just that vibe over there. Everyone has a different sense of style, how they carry themselves. Their mindset. Yeah.

It makes you realize how small you are and the place that you live in when you leave. And you're like, oh, I can appreciate this. Even I went to Nigeria before and I'm like, that opened me up to so much more going to different places. Like just wherever you go, I feel like you get just a little bit more wiser. Yeah, no, for sure.

I think for me, it was when I was modeling, I just started kind of taking it a little bit more serious and I booked different jobs and I was booking videos for Vogue and I was just doing making it happen, which I wouldn't say I was the most

confident person but I just I always say your greatest superpower is your individuality and so for me I'm like God gave me this body for a reason if I can work on something I don't like then I can work on it if I can't change it then just accept it And I think I just developed my confidence more and more by just putting myself out there where when I started, I was like so shy.

I didn't know how to go into a room and talk to everyone. By the end of it, I was going there talking to everyone. It just like really helped me evolve and become a young woman. And I felt like I matured and it only took maybe a year and a half, um, And I was like, finally, okay, I'm making money. My dad always was like, go to college. You need a backup plan. You need this. So I'm like, dad...

I promise you just let me do me. And so it was actually not to get sad or emotional, but I was 19 when my dad passed. And so 19 was when I was finally getting in that rhythm and doing everything. And it was like around the holidays, I had been like, I'm going to buy everyone, an amazing gift for Christmas. Like I finally made my money. I'm like, whatever I could get.

My dad was a big motorcycle guy. So I got him this like vest. I was super excited, but then he ended up getting sick around Thanksgiving and passed around Christmas. So I never... That fast? It was one month in total. And he passed, we found out he had cancer and he passed four days later. So it was, yeah, it was very quick. Yes. Which I'm... At 19, it didn't feel real.

I was in denial for a long time. But I would say I'm happy he didn't have to suffer for long. He was always super tough guy, worked out, super healthy, never sick, and then had stage four pancreatic cancer. And it took him out within, from like being normal to him passing was one month in total.

So that was like, you know, definitely changed the trajectory of my life and where I thought I was going and how things were going. And it put me into kind of a darker place than I realized I was at that moment. But I will say he became my most powerful guardian angel. So things started happening for me that I was like, okay, this could only be you.

So you just, with life, you can choose to look at things different types of ways. We could wake up and be like, I... don't like anything and today's not gonna be a good day or we can wake up and be like, we're gonna try to make today the best day that we can. And so that's just kind of how I've chosen to go about life and

I'm not gonna say every day is great, but I try to like make sense of every day.

You know, there's no right or wrong way to grieve. Yeah. I think what I could say I kind of did wrong, even though I feel in the moment I tried my best and I did what I felt was right in the moment, was kind of run from what happened and pretend like it didn't happen.

But that led me to kind of go out more and drink more and party and just say yes to everything because I just wanted to be distracted. Yes. Whether it was a job, whether it was a party, whether it was the kickback, whatever it was, it was just like, sure, I'm there.

And then you also then your boundaries, you don't have boundaries when you start accepting everything and doing whatever and going out and you kind of like, for me, I was spiraling and not realizing that I was spiraling in that moment until I had to sit still for a while and look at myself and heal. It's been eight years now. So it took, it's taken time. And it never really feels

better, but you learn to deal with that and you get stronger. So that hole is never closed, but you just learn to live with it. And for anyone going through grief, I would just say, give yourself grace, try to face it and not run from it. Even though denial, I feel like it's the first thing we all turn to. And just try to be around people who

that support you and love you and try to be around your family. But it's hard being around people that have never experienced anything like that. Cause then like you go somewhere, everyone's like, I'm sorry. And it's like, I actually don't want to hear this. I just want to like exist.

Yeah, that actually brought us together and brought us a lot closer. We were friends before all of that happened. But being that I had gone through a sudden loss, very similar, I was able to be there for him and in a way, That healed part of me that I didn't even realize was still open. And when things were coming up for him in a way, they were coming up for me as well.

So that was also part of my healing, was just being able to be supportive, but take a look in the mirror and realize, oh, there's certain parts... Of what you're dealing with that I need to confront as well.

And also, it was like during COVID, so you had a lot of time to just kind of sit with yourself and your thoughts and... We would go on bike rides and be outside, you know, just have time.
