56: Pushing Past Doubt with Jordon Allard (CEO/Founder/Owner ASPIRE Therapy and Wellness)
from The Second Act with Michael and John · host Michael Newborn, John Ballenger
Jordon Allard grew up in the Midwest, inspired by her hardworking father, who instilled in her the values of balance, perseverance, and family-first priorities. Initially unsure of her exact career path, she explored various healthcare roles before choosing occupational therapy for its deep personal impact. After gaining experience in the field, she unexpectedly found herself with an opportunity to launch her own therapy business during the height of COVID—while six months pregnant. Despite the challenges of entrepreneurship and motherhood happening simultaneously, she took the leap, learning to embrace uncertainty, push past imposter syndrome, and build Aspire Therapy into a thriving company. Along the way, she discovered the power of saying no to protect what truly matters, refined her leadership approach, and proved that success isn’t about perfect timing—it’s about having the courage to start.
