Hi! I’m Jordan, and Shade Cactus is where being a cozy homebody and always planning your next travel adventure come to meet. Here, you’ll marvel the mundane and wish for your wild, while reveling in rest.
You’ll learn about how to support your habitual travel adventures alongside your happy home base (even the one inside your own head). Cool kids subscribe. I appreciate you!
Each month, I share a recap of what I was viewing, doing, and creating! These take a generous amount of time to put together, and I hope they are full of lovely goodies for you. Become a paid subscriber for full access!

Tis the season for every business on the planet to use some form of “springing into…” phrasing in their marketing. 🌱
Now that I’m on the other side of the Equinox, I’m trying to pay attention to the subtle shifts in my mind and body. I’ve continued my practice of contrast therapy (sauna + cold plunge) since embarking on that ritual in January, and it’s become a place for me to regulate and note… is it harder today? Easier today? (Note: each day “it” can mean something entirely different.)
The level of distraction (annoyance, hype, etc.) I feel is heightened in the sauna, so it’s become the place where I pay special attention.
What place is that for you?
