I’m Jordan Bailey, founder of OWNway Consulting. I created this space to help you get out of your own way, blending deep empathy with practical action.

My approach isn't based on trends; it’s rooted in years of real-world experience in human services. I earned my first degree in Alcohol and Drug Studies, fascinated by what drives human behavior and how we navigate change. I spent the early part of my career in the trenches as a Youth Counselor, Family Service Worker, and Substance Abuse Counselor, supporting individuals and families through some of life’s grittiest transitions.

Those years taught me how to listen—not just to what people say, but to what they aren't saying. (Though, to be honest, I think my training really started with MSN Messenger and those deep, late-night chats with friends).

Despite finding fulfillment in helping others, I eventually grew curious about new challenges. That curiosity led me to pivot careers and pursue a second degree in Management Information Systems from Iowa State University.

My move into IT taught me structure, systems thinking, and problem-solving, but it also revealed something deeper. I saw how many professionals, despite their success, were quietly struggling with burnout, loss of direction, and disconnection from purpose. Eventually, I found myself in that same space — accomplished on paper, but internally unfulfilled.

Through self-work, therapy, and countless honest conversations with friends, I began searching again for my purpose. That journey inspired me to combine my social work foundation and IT mindset into something meaningful. That is how OWNway Consulting was born: a space to help you balance reflection with action, rebuild your habits, and bring more joy and purpose back into your life."
