Surrender Well-Done with Chef Jordan Rhode 🌶️ Ep. 16

April 10, 2025·25 min·1 clip

Caitlin opens by introducing Jordan Rode as a celebrity Sedona chef and the featured chef for the upcoming SoulScape yoga and wellness retreat in Sedona on June 7th. She sets the scene in Sedona itself, with the creek, the earth, and the elements folded into the welcome. Jordan speaks from a life shaped by restaurant work and hospitality, and Caitlin guides the talk toward balance, nourishment, and the idea that food can bring things back into alignment. Jordan says his goal is for people to leave dinner feeling amazing, energized, and cared for rather than sluggish or sick. The conversation holds that idea as both culinary and spiritual. They also talk about manifestation and how work seems to show up once he stops pushing and starts surrendering. Jordan describes asking spirit for help when pride gets in the way, and links that practice to more business, more abundance, and more aligned opportunities. Caitlin notes that discernment matters in business and in the energies people choose to keep close. From there the conversation broadens into the senses. They talk about what enters the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and touch, and how all of it needs to be digested. The language turns more devotional and Ayurvedic. Caitlin connects his cooking to ancient wisdom traditions and the idea that food changes the body. Jordan keeps coming back to the same point: meals should leave people nourished, not weighed down. The episode stays warm and conversational rather than polished or technical. It keeps returning to one core belief: what you take in shapes how you feel.
