What does it really take to raise a family and pursue a demanding career—without losing yourself in the process?
For Fort Worth attorney Jordan Rolfe Stimpson, the answer begins with gratitude, resilience, and a deep commitment to saying “yes” to what matters. In a world where women are pressured to “do it all,” Jordan’s story is a refreshing, real-life take on how we can show up fully for both ambition and motherhood.
In this episode of The Great Noticing,
ordan walks us through her unique journey from aspiring journalist to award-winning prosecutor to civil litigator. Alongside hosts MaryAnn and Emily, she reflects on what it means to evolve—both professionally and personally—while raising a spirited daughter and holding onto joy in everyday moments. You’ll hear about her time at Good Morning America, the lessons she learned from high-stakes courtroom work, and how she’s redefining presence and parenting through small rituals, like morning trampoline jumps with her 3-year-old.
With warmth and wit, Jordan opens up about the chaos of parenting, the changing landscape for women in law, and why choosing to find joy (even when nothing’s going right) is her secret weapon. Her insights are both deeply personal and incredibly relatable for any woman navigating career, motherhood, and modern life.
