In this episode, host Celeste
Rains-Turk sits down with IFBB Pro Jordan Wondergem, who won her
pro card at her first national show and is now going into her fifth
year of competing. She is a coach for bikini and lifestyle clients
and directs an abundance of focus towards mindset.
Jordan coached herself until her prep
leading into the North Americans National show where she earned her
Pro-card. She learned what and what not to do and gained experience
while coaching herself but wanted to take her physique to the next
level. By hiring a coach, Jordan was able to dig deep and learn how
to push to the pro level.
Mindset is something Jordan is very
passionate about. She believes that having the right mindset is
everything when it comes to achieving your goals and that it will
set you apart from the rest. Affirmations are a huge part of her
daily routine. Another passion she has is being able to fit
competing into her lifestyle. Jordan explains how she can enjoy
social aspects of situations while following her prep to a T even
if she needs to be a busier person to do so.
This lifestyle has been one Jordan
had followed even before her time competing. Celeste and Jordan
talk about how having that base of the lifestyle makes for an
easier transition into competing rather than just jumping in.
Having goals with a deadline and seeing herself progress is what
drives her most and has her whole life.
Now that shows have been cancelled,
Jordan is focusing on the positives of postponing prep. She was
devastated when she learned that the Vancouver Pro show had been
cancelled but has realized this could actually work out for the
best. With her new relationship having a time limit on time spent
together she can now focus on having fun and having a more
enjoyable prep when her new boyfriend goes off to boot camp. She
also speaks on how she has handled client’s shows being cancelled
so gracefully.
Jordan goes into what her peak week
looks like as well as what post show looks like for her. It is a
new and different approach from what she had ever practiced while
coaching herself and she is excited that she can pass these
strategies onto her own clients.
Celeste brings the show to an end by
asking Jordan about some favorites regarding prep food and training
and of course advice for women thinking about competing and those
looking to go pro themselves.
Jordan’s passions shine through in
this episode and inspire a better mindset!
