    Dani Had a Tampon Stuck for 3 WEEKS?!
    Oct 30 2026
    Dani had a toxic shock syndrome scare, and she’s sharing the whole story so it never happens to you!!! Plus, the question all over our feeds this week: should Christians celebrate Halloween? 🎃 After weeks of UTI symptoms, two rounds of antibiotics and six OB offices that couldn’t see her, the answer was hiding in plain sight: a forgotten tampon. We talk the signs of TSS to watch for and why her doctor said this happens all the time. Plus: Dani finally got Jordan doing cardio at a HYROX-style class at Shed in Nashville, his Function Health heart results, and the two-degree pivots that changed his life. Then we get into the Christian Halloween debate, witchcraft on Etsy (yes, really), and whether skipping trick-or-treating has gotten a little performative. Jordan breaks down Empire of the Summer Moon, the story of Cynthia Ann Parker and Quanah Parker, and why Columbus Day vs. Indigenous Peoples’ Day is grayer than anyone wants it to be. We swap book recs (Angel Down and Whale Fall by Daniel Kraus) and talk about the book-to-movie adaptations Hollywood actually got right. And finally, the F-Factor lawsuit. We talk about Tanya Zuckerbrot’s settlement with Emily Gellis, why Jordan thinks it sets a new precedent for online defamation, and what it means for hate accounts and anonymous posts on Reddit. In this episode: • Dani’s toxic shock scare and the forgotten tampon • Jordan’s first cardio era (and his VO2 max) • Should Christians celebrate Halloween? • Empire of the Summer Moon and Indigenous Peoples’ Day • Angel Down, Whale Fall and the best book-to-movie adaptations • The F-Factor lawsuit and what it means for online haters This episode is conversation, not medical advice.

  • CARL & LAURA LENTZ: Infidelity, Forgiveness & Rebuilding Their Marriage

    CARL & LAURA LENTZ: Infidelity, Forgiveness & Rebuilding Their Marriage
    Oct 23 2026
    Carl and Laura Lentz join Jordan for an honest conversation about marriage, infidelity, forgiveness, and what it really takes to rebuild trust after betrayal. After Carl's highly publicized departure from Hillsong NYC in 2020, their family faced a painful and very public season of change. Now, Carl and Laura are opening up about the years that followed, including the decision to stay together, the role addiction played in their story, and the difficult work of healing individually and as a couple. Laura shares why she chose to fight for their marriage, why forgiveness took years, and how they began rebuilding trust. Carl reflects on the choices that led to his downfall, taking accountability, and the lessons he's learned about faith, fame, and personal healing. They also discuss their book, Overcoming Infidelity, and the conversations they hope will help other couples navigating betrayal. This is a vulnerable conversation about second chances, family, faith, and what rebuilding a marriage actually looks like.

  • The Mom Guilt Spiral

    The Mom Guilt Spiral
    Oct 16 2026
    This week on De-Influenced, we're getting into a little bit of everything, starting with the internet having some THOUGHTS about our new house. Dani reads some of the comments surrounding a recent home update, and we get into the bigger conversation about influencer culture, money, and why people are so frustrated with what they see online. Speaking of influencers, Pete Davidson recently had some choice words about content creators and how much money they're making. Is he saying what everyone else is thinking, or is Hollywood just having a hard time accepting that influencers are the new celebrities? We also get into a parenting disagreement after Stella was embarrassed to go to school, and whether it's better to protect your kids' confidence or let them learn to handle uncomfortable situations. Plus, Dani opens up about the mom guilt spiral that comes from watching other moms seemingly do it all online. Between elaborate birthdays, picture-perfect fall activities, and the pressure to make every moment magical, when did simply spending time with your kids stop feeling like enough? And of course, Jordan shares his latest AI gadget purchase that might not be as life-changing as he thought. It's a little pop culture, a little parenting, and a lot of real life. We hope you enjoy this week's episode!
