Where Are They Now? Interview with BCB Alum, Patience Davis Mitchell

Connect with Patience: @positively.patience https://www.instagram.com/positively.patience/ Connect with Jordan: @jgofitlife https://www.instagram.com/jgofitlife Apply to be a part of my Body Confident Blueprint coaching program: https://www.jgofitlife.com/bcb-waitlist Before BCB (January) 2020, - She was in a big period of transition: she had just started teaching group fitness after a 2-3 year break. She didn't feel super confident when teaching classes. She didn't feel like she fit the "fitness instructor" mold. - Patience dealt with disordered eating and body issues. - She didn't want to turn 40 with this taking up so much space in her life. She was committed to working on herself. What was your experience with the program? And what was it like going back into the world? - Patience is not woo woo, but she found value in journaling and meditation. - She was going 150% and needed to take time to ground and center herself. - She established a routine which she kept up over a year later. - She questioned whether or not she was meant to be in the fitness space, and got confidence out of BCB. - When she has bad body image days, she's now able to shift this perspective and remember that it doesn't really matter. How else is she showing up confidently? What are some things she's really proud of? - She's an introvert, so showing up on social media, being vulnerable, and sharing her story is a big deal for her. She wants her story to help other people. - Patience used to view her empathy as a weakness, but is now embracing it. She can connect with more students and help them feel comfortable. - Empathy is needed in the fitness industry, and it's something unique she can bring to the table. She felt the calling to teach, how was she able to trust herself and follow her purpose? - She really loved teaching and couldn't stop thinking about it, so she got her personal training certificate. - If you hear a little voice saying "what if you can?" you need to go for it. - What you're spending your time thinking about and planning is what you need to be doing. Advice for the next round of Body Confident Blueprint? - Don't have expectations and be open. Open mind, open heart and be receptive to learning things, even the things that will be hard to learn about yourself. Those lessons are meaningful and if you can take the time to put everything you have into this, you'll get ten fold out of it.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
