Today we’d like to introduce you to Jordyn Hakes.
Hi Jordyn, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I started The Horny Housewife podcast a year after suddenly and unexpectedly losing my mother. This loss caused me to reframe my perspective, and I decided I wanted to do something I was passionate about. I had listened to other sex/relationship podcasts but felt there needed to be a podcast about married sex, not random hookups, not dating, but the long-term relationship realities! I knew that these were shoes I could fill (being a wife and mother) and thus I started The Horny Housewife. It has now been 2 1/2 years and I went from 120 downloads per episode to 20,000 downloads an episode. I credit my continuously growing community to my consistency and passion for the topic(s.)
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The show has consistently grown each month since its inception but this ongoing journey has had many lessons that included difficulties. The struggle of feeling motivated, the struggle to be consistent in posting on social media, the struggle to navigate what works and what doesn’t in regard to driving traffic to the show, etc… struggles are a part of the journey and I choose not to sit and suffer in them but to learn, evolve, and keep moving forward!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I host The Horny Housewife podcast which is a weekly discussion on the realities of sex in marriage, the inevitable seasons long term relationships endure, dating your spouse and I answer listener questions every episode. The emails from people stating how much the podcast has positively impacted their marriage/sex life always blow me away and never cease to pull at my heartstrings. I consider the podcast to be “locker room talk” a space where I can speak the truth, not sugar anything and hopefully provide solutions and perspective (or at the very least entertain you, ha). What sets me apart in my opinion is that I am not afraid to say things that I think a lot of people are, I don’t shy away from topics that make people feel uncomfortable and I think my life is extremely relatable. I am a wife, mother, stepmother, creating a brand, and trying to have amazing orgasms all at the same time. There are plenty of married people, raising a family, trying to stay married and have enjoyable (or insanely freaky) sex- we are all worthy of pleasure.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Consistency 100% – I show up every week- even the weeks it’s hard when I feel depressed, heavy, anxious, uncertain, I still show up. Being consistent will always go further than the spurts and intensity that seem to burn out faster. Inspired action is great, but so is intentional time set aside to get sh*t done.
Listening to your community! – I am not afraid of feedback or input and I take lessons out of each experience and mistake.
Authenticity- show up as you are, I believe I provide information and entertainment and I don’t try and stiffen that. The ability to get vulnerable and share the good AND the bad goes a long way. Relating is connecting.
