IN IT with Jordan Harper and Ashley Buckler
Barefaced / tentwentytwo16 EpisodesJun 30, 2026
You're in your 30s or 40s. You're building something, raising someone, and trying to take care of yourself at the same time. The questions are piling up: about your health, your hormones, your relationships, your ambition. Most days, no one in the room has the right answers.
IN IT is where those questions get taken seriously.
Jordan Harper is a board-certified nurse practitioner, founder and CEO of Barefaced, and a mom of four.
Ashley Buckler is Barefaced's Chief Brand Officer, a mom, and the kind of person who blends ambition with romanticizing life
Together, they bring in leading experts — and occasionally each other — to work through the topics that actually matter in this chapter: hormones, mental load, marriage, mindset, perimenopause, parenting, ambition, and everything in between.
No highlight reels. No hustle culture. No toxic optimism. Just honest conversations and better information, so you can move through this season of life with more clarity and less noise.
These are foundational years. Make them count.
