Hi, my name is Pam Jordan, and I recently turned 48 years old. I am a wife (22 years), and I have 2 daughters (29 yrs and 10 yrs), and 3 grandsons (10, 6, and 2). I am also a botcamper (strength training) runner, biker, and swimmer. I did my first triathlon in August 2011, and was hooked. I also enjoy running 5Ks on the road and trails, and half marathons. My goal at 50 yrs old is to do a half ironman; next year I will do an Olympic length triathlon to warm up :). At the age of 43, I achieved a black belt in karate (Shoto Kan & Shito Ryu styles).
Curently, I work with women in a group called PUSH, at my church. It is for women who are struggling to push through different areas of their lives-emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally. By profession, I own my own Life Coaching practice, called "Live Inspired!", working with mostly women over 40 to help them define goals and achieve those goals.
My dream is to be a motivational/inspirational speaker to women's groups, to let women know that life isn't over a 40, but that it is just beginning! I love what I do, and I love it when women tell me, "I'm so glad you are in my life!"....that makes it all worthwhile.
I will finish school next April, and will graduate in summer 2013 in Chicago, with a BAS in psychology with emphasis in Applied Behavior Analysis. It's been a long road, and I am glad I can see the finish line....because I don't stop until I cross it!
Pam,
ReplyDeleteWonderful to meet you! After reading your blog I believe you will be a good speaker. You sound like an extremely motivational person who loves to help people. I would love to do that one day. I am jealous that you have your own life coaching practice, I want to have a practice one day that focuses on family wholeness in order to prevent childhood obesity. I too will finish my degree in April and graduate in Chicago in the summer. That is so exciting!!!! I wish you the best in your efforts and in life!!!

Hello Pam,
ReplyDeleteYou are such an inspiration! How you find the time to do all that you do is amazing. You are doing now what I hope to be doing one day, helping women get through the rough spots that life has a way of throwing at us. There are so many of them out there that need guidance and encouragement and who are so all alone. I have 2 more years to go, and being that I love to learn as much as you do, it should be fun.
All the Best to you,
Kristy
