Jordan Maney (she/her) is the Radical Joy Coach™. She helps bleeding heart entrepreneurs and leaders learn to be advocates for themselves and their communities through the practice of rest. Jordan has coached business owners from a variety of industries like: public relations, life coaching, floral design, event planning, copywriting, and local government learn how to rest, dream, and (imp)act. Having spent four years lovingly disrupting the wedding industry as a planner and advocate of marginalized couples, she pivoted exclusively towards rest and joy coaching with an equity lens in 2020. She’s been featured in New York Magazine, Yahoo, Attn, Oprah Magazine, San Antonio Magazine, and Martha Stewart Living. She currently serves on the Liftfund's Women’s Business Center Advisory Board in San Antonio.
