In Part 2 of my conversation with life coach, yoga instructor, and podcaster, Kristen Rutter, we explore how to make prayer more personal, aligned, and meaningful—without losing reverence for God. Kristen shares her heart on what it looks like to approach Heavenly Father with both deep respect and authentic vulnerability, creating a relationship that’s intimate and life-giving.
We also talk about the journey of self-discovery through tools like Human Design and how to stay grounded by continually checking in with God as the true source of identity and wisdom.

Ep. 6: What Do You Really Want? Exploring Desire with Amber Lee Smith

In this episode, I sit down with coach, author, and podcaster, Amber Lee Smith, for a soul-stirring conversation about desire—what it really means, why it matters, and how to start reconnecting with what you truly want.
We talk about the courage it takes to admit your desires, how to build an expanded vision for your life, and how desire is actually one of the most powerful tools for growth, alignment, and connection with God.
We also explore the idea of quiet wealth—creating a life that feels rich and expansive without sacrificing what you already have. It’s about building more with what’s sacred, not in place of it.
Whether you feel disconnected from what you want or are ready to dream even bigger, this episode will help you give yourself permission to want more—and see it as sacred.
🎙️ Tune in to simplify, expand, and realign with your truest self.

Ep.3: Simplifying Love - What Happens When We Really See Each Other with Anna Rasmussen

In this heartfelt episode of Simplify, I sit down with photographer Anna Rasmussen to talk about her powerful new project, Global God — a series of portraits featuring 200 members of her church congregation, from six continents.
What began as an art project quickly became something much deeper: a journey into unity, empathy, and the kind of love that transcends borders and beliefs.
Together, we explore how getting to know someone’s story can soften your heart, shift your perspective, and simplify the way you love. We talk about sacred seeing, the beauty of diversity, and how Anna’s lens became a mirror for the divine.
If you’ve ever wondered what it might look like to really see others — and to let yourself be seen — this conversation will move you.
Come exhale with us. Let’s simplify love.

Ep.1: Welcome To Simplify

In this very first episode of Simplify, I’m inviting you into something soft, soulful, and real. I’m Jade Alexander — homeschooling mama, full-time traveler, and lover of slow mornings, sacred rhythms, and the kind of simplicity that brings you back to what matters most.
This podcast is a breath of fresh air for the woman who's tired of performing, pushing, or proving. Here, we slow down. We tune in. We talk about what it means to create a life that feels like heaven on earth — not just a checklist we never finish.
You’ll hear about my heart for weaving the Word, the Woo, and the Work — faith, intuition, and aligned action — into everyday life. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about sacred pauses, soulful conversations, and remembering that joy was always part of the plan.
So take a deep breath. You’re in the right place.Let’s simplify — together.
