Jordan’s parents raised her according to William Butler Yeat’s philosophy: “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” They focused on sparking her desire to learn which led to Jordan publishing her first poem at age 8, starting her first business at age 12, winning national awards for her sewing skills as a teen, and publishing multiple books. Now she and her husband raise their two children while running Civilized Animal Productions which provides lifestyle tools that empower parents to change the world starting at home.
