Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jourdan Robinson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Jourdan, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?
I truly believe that it was my purpose that found me. As a child, I always had a compassionate heart towards those in need. Whether it was a need for Food and Shelter, Medical assistance or Companionship, I was always the first to bring awareness to their needs and offer to help. For the longest time as a child, I thought I was going to be a veterinarian! I deeply wanted to know what it felt like to heal and nurture sick animals back to health. But little did I know, a new, yet similar purpose was soon to unveil itself.
In 2018, my mother was diagnosed with Pneumonia along with what we’d later find out was Sarcoidosis, a rare disease that effects and worsens the severity of other infections within the body. In this case for her sake, It was affecting and worsening the condition of her lungs rapidly. At the time I was made aware, I was 8 hours away in college, feeling completely helpless as her team of doctors are fumbling to find solutions to no avail. Prescription after prescription racked up by my mother’s bedside and none of them could bring her relief! After a few weeks went by, her condition worsened, and it was not looking good for her… But I had this nagging feeling that there was another way! Another approach that the doctors couldn’t prescribe, something more ancient than Western Medicine. So, I began to research until I found a solution!
I stumbled through scholarly articles on the human body and what it needs, and thousands of hours of videos from the Late great Dr. Sebi along with a few others who would soon become my mentors in this quest for knowledge. As I continued on, not only did the answers come flooding in but my purpose also began to emerge! I took the information from my research, and I combined it into a booklet with knowledge of what the lungs need to thrive and cleanse themselves at a cellular level(Dietary recommendations, Herbal remedies and protocols to assist with detoxification) and brought it to my family to propose a new course of action for my mother, praying that it wasn’t too late!
I went back home on a mission to share this knowledge and set my mother on a path to healing. It took some convincing, especially with so much profound knowledge coming from the youngest child of the family. But I had never been so sure of anything in my life, I was not going to lose my mother, she means everything to me! I crafted my first herbal detox tea and had my mom drink it. What happened next, shocked us all! That night, she woke up from her sleep, and rushed to the bathroom to let out a huge cough with a massive plug of mucus… her lower back pain was gone! She felt she could breathe again!
Here we are now, in 2025. My mother is as healthy as a horse and I’ve been working in my purpose that unveiled itself all those years ago. To provide the knowledge of the body and what it is truly asking for to people who never thought they had another option. To create the atmosphere for healing and provide the means to do it successfully! Not only with my handcrafted wellness products, but also with the passion that I used to help my mother. I pour that same passion into everything that I do here at Herbal Jays!
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals along their journey to wellness. I turned that passion into a business called Herbal Jays. With Herbal Jays, we use different healing modalities and allow them to manifest and present themselves however necessary!
We offer Holistic Wellness products and herbal supplements that are handcrafted with the client’s needs in mind. We also host wellness events in collaboration with other wellness centered businesses for locals of Las Vegas where we create a space for collective healing. Some we’ve hosted in the past have featured things like Sound Healing, Tea Ceremonies, Wellness Workshops, Weekend Self Care Retreats and collective discussions with our community around what healing looks like for them at the moment. We do have more in the works and will continue to roll out more for the rest of 2025.
What’s really exciting is our Cleanse 2 Manifest Virtual Group Detox set to begin on Friday, November 7th. During this group detox, I will walk the participants through a 5 day full body reset. It is extremely gentle, beginner friendly, and will give them tools and the knowledge to create lasting changes in their lifestyle! This was created for individuals who want to make better decisions with their nutrition but just don’t know where to start. My favorite part about this is the group aspect! We are all able to support each other in our own unique journey. It helps us all stay accountable and motivated to get as much as we can from the process!
My professional life is very much an extension of me at my core. I love to share my own personal journey and the tools that I’ve accumulated for myself and my family, then offer that as a reminder that we can start from anywhere and get to where we want to be, as long as we are ready to think outside of the box and put the work in to reach our wellness goals!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The one most important quality that I needed all those years ago, and even now, was belief in myself! So many times I’ve been met with uncertainty or external doubt from others about my offerings or my craft, about my knowledge or just the disbelief in me as a whole. But if I would have allowed that to internalize and stop me from working in this field, the people that I’ve positively impacted would never have had the benefit of my gifts!
I feel this internal Validation of self supersedes any skill, any research, any quality or area of expertise because I could have all of the knowledge in the world, But if I didn’t believe that it could save my mother, if I didn’t have the courage to act even when nobody else could see my worth, she may not be with us today!
To anyone just beginning something, just finding your purpose and in the early phases of creating your origin story. One piece of advice I can offer is, don’t get stuck in the space of acquiring the knowledge and skillset and forget to take the leap! Yes, the knowledge is extremely necessary, but don’t make it everything! Some things you must do to learn. And everyone may not get the calling that was placed on your life, but that is okay! The one, most important person to have in your corner is you. You must believe in the work you do, in the product or service you are offering. and allow that to get you into the spaces you need to be in that will get you the support!
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
There is strength in community! I’ve grown leaps and bounds in this space not only because of me, but because of the beautiful individuals that i have come accross and partnered with up to this point!
For that reason, I am always looking to collaborate with other individuals who are in the wellness space! Any driven, motivated folks who believe in their unique offering and want to cultivate more healing spaces within the community, please reach out via email at [email protected] or via our website at Herbaljays.com.
We are also currently in search of physical spaces to offer series of wellness events around Las Vegas and surrounding areas! so if you have a space you would like to offer, please reach out as well, many thanks!
