Jun 19, 2020

Jill Coleman Changing Your lifestyle, Purpose and Direction Through Mindset.

Joining me on the show today is Jill Coleman, an established mindset, lifestyle and nutrition coach.

In the show we cover Jill’s journey into the health and fitness industry, building her business brand and how she overcame the heartbreak and self-distraction after her divorce.

Jill’s life path into Nutrition, Health and Fitness.

Having played sports throughout her school years, Jill found herself on the losing side every once in a while. She not only got used to the feeling of defeat, but also found a way of getting over it and building a character and personality of resilience.
Passionate about the health and fitness niche, Jill taught her first group fitness class when she was just 16.
In school, Jill was always into sports and athletics; from triathlons to avalons and marathons. But dancing was her biggest love.
With time, Jill found herself hooked to the transformative power that healthy eating and exercise had in changing a person’s physical outlook. This led her into winning a figure competition after losing a whopping 20 pounds.
What young Jill wasn’t aware of at the time, was the post competition blues. With numerous compliments, approvals and affirmations being sent her way after the win, Jill got used to her new environment only to find herself gaining 15 pounds in only 2 weeks.
What would follow was a 6 year roller coaster of losing and gaining 20-30 pounds every year.
Confused and depressed, Jill finally decided to make a stand and re-focus her attention into blogging as a way of curbing the need to have a perfect body.
She found her bliss through blogging everyday for 2 years and creating a nutritional philosophy of eating the same meal all year round.

It’s all about your Mindset.

A lot of people get into exercise and diet for the wrong reasons.
They don’t really know what they want. This has caused an epidemic of people obsessed with having the perfect body through over-exercising and wrong dieting.
Instead of being happy and grateful for achieving their goals, a lot of people only feel relief and the need to accomplish more goals.
Social media has only magnified this through the constant portrayal of fitness junkies, as the perfect reflection of what success and happiness is.
Jill was a victim of this loop, but after shifting her attention and sense of purpose into her newly established business, she was able to pull through.
As a mindset coach, Jill advises us to focus more on the process of achieving our goals, rather than the end result. It’s through this that we can accomplish much more than we had set out to.
Having battled through her own setbacks and adversities in exercise and business, Jill points out 3 tips to help us succeed in our business endeavors.

Consistency. People who dive into businesses and careers driven by a sense of urgency to make money only end up burnt and stressed out.

Build a strong foundation of passion where you’re constantly driven to pursue excellence through practice and consistency.

Focus on the quality of the value you’re giving. Quantity begets Quality. With enough practice, anyone can become a pro in any business venture.
Pull back the curtain and share your own struggles. This is a trust building formula of connecting with your audience. Being open and honest about your past and current struggles will help you bond with your audience at a personal level.

How Jill Navigated through her marital infidelity.

Having been married for more than 10 years. It was heart-breaking for Jill to find out her husband was having an affair.
Jill plunged in helplessness and self-worth doubt when she discovered this. What followed was a destructive path of drinking, dating and working overtime to numb the pain.
Jill felt wronged, in pain and confused.
As much as she was justified to play the victim and point the finger, Jill decided otherwise and was able to transition through personal development and owning up.
Despite being in such a hard spot, she always believed in herself and the power to overcome the emotional wreck she had become. Jill was able to embrace and move past her marriage and divorce to her ex-husband.
