Your Epic Ordinary Life
A narrative rite of passage for those called to wander bravely, live truthfully, and reclaim their essence in uncertain times.
Reintegrate your part selves to live from your essence
What if your story…
is more interesting than you think?
What if understanding how you are both epic and ordinary might transform the way you approach life and work?
During this contemplative storywork experience, I will write your life story for you, and serve as your companion through a strategic process that infuses ideas from narrative coaching, narrative therapy, ethnographic interviewing, and prose.
To lead a life of integration and presence, we cannot remain hidden behind superficial versions of self.
Every person’s path is distinct, non-linear, amazing, yet mundane. While it may surprise us, the seemingly innocuous moments in our lives can have as much significance as the larger celebrations we tend to memorialize.
This experience will provide you the chance to explore what is tethering your past, present, and future, articulate rich insights, and share your unique story.
Often with our stories, we desire to impress others with strengths and accomplishments. Yet it is our vulnerability that most endears us to people. We are messy and imperfect. Good thing—where there is perfection there is no story to tell.
The creative act of mythologizing our lives as an epic with a three-act structure can offer us plenty of insight.
Instead of getting panicked or defensive when the next trial besets us, we might—like our favorite character in a film or book—view our progress through an epic lens, where trials are dignified and normalized. This can enable you to view life as having a purposeful direction to it, and create new and necessary meaning.
Your Epic Ordinary Life is bound to feel different because it is rooted in you.
What you get from it
At the end of this enriching experience, your story will be yours to do what you want with.
Share it with your family, a friend, write your biography, or approach your team differently.
People have used this experience to help them realign priorities or launch their next big idea.
You might make a career change. Bring depth to romantic and familial relationships. Or experience healing after loss or relocation.
On my end it remains 100% confidential.
After attuning to your own unique story, I trust you will gain a deeper appreciation for your immeasurable value as a human being and experience a renewed sense of purpose and aliveness.

What people are saying
“It was a totally new experience to go through my epic ordinary life. It felt honourable to write down my story and let Jordan curate it beautifully. Jordan made me feel safe sharing my story and showed a lot of respect and patience in the process. It turned out exquisitely. I wish everyone had the opportunity to create their own epic ordinary life together with Jordan.”
Erica Björkebäck
Environmental Administrator
“Jordan epitomizes every aspect of thought leadership. He didn’t see me as a project; he saw me as a unique individual. I recommend Jordan without reservation to anyone ready to own their story and willing and able to change the narrative.”
Jacqueline Brito
Assistant Dean, Graduate Admissions
“I loved moving through this process with Jordan. He is a trusted guide and masterful at what he does. His calm, measured, loving energy created a space where I really felt I could put everything out onto the table. When he read my life back to me it was a beautiful moment that I won't forget, it moved me deeply and helped me see my history in a totally fresh light. I would highly recommend this process to anyone thinking about it.”
