Ep. 106 Jordan Simpson - Using Passion to Build Momentum & Change Your Identity

The Chasing Health Podcast is BACK after a short intermission while I was traveling! But, I have an AMAZING episode for you as we get back into the swing of things!  On this week’s episode of the podcast, I welcomed, Owner of BeDifferent Fitness and Nutrition, Jordan Simpson onto the show!  As an overweight multi-sport youth athlete, Jordan struggled with body image as not your typical athlete. After playing ice hockey and studying kinesiology in college, Jordan found his way into the coaching field in 2018. 4 years later, he started BeDifferent, with his business partner Rudy, where they use a unique coaching approach that focuses on faith, fitness, food and focus. We chatted about:  How his upbringing influenced his health and how he shifted directions for the better.  How our food or activity levels can influence the other.  Find what you love to do and keep doubling down on that, use that as your drive to keep going. Stop should-ing yourself.  His passion for hockey turned into learning more about kinesiology and eventually getting into coaching.  The importance of setting the next goal to keep you going.  Momentum vs. Motivation The “dials” to help you stay on track and ditch the all or nothing mentality.  Our identity plays such a large role in our actions.  Understanding what your goals are and what that is going to take to reach them - sacrifices vs. non-negotiables.  Jordan’s top two recommendations for getting started today.  What a great recording this week! Thank you so much, Jordan, for joining me on the show! So many golden nuggets for the listeners!  If you’d like to connect with Jordan:  IG - @coachjordansimpson Twitter - @coachjsimp His Website: bedifferentcoaching.com Pushups & Prayers - 7 Day Kickstart:  https://www.canva.com/design/DAFgfMfVN_0/im3o1EPrdv3jx6bR3EeW7w/view?utm_content=DAFgfMfVN_0&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink
