Meet Jordan Roche

We recently connected with Jordan Roche and have shared our conversation below.

Jordan, first a big thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and insights with us today. I’m sure many of our readers will benefit from your wisdom, and one of the areas where we think your insight might be most helpful is related to imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is holding so many people back from reaching their true and highest potential and so we’d love to hear about your journey and how you overcame imposter syndrome.
For the first year and a half of my business I had a LOT of self-doubt surfacing in the dreaded “imposter syndrome”. I was riddled with thoughts of not being good enough, feeling like I needed to constantly be learning to be qualified. Obviously, continued learning is great and something we should all strive for, but I couldn’t move myself forward at the same time. I felt like I needed to keep doing in order to be. It felt like all of the things I had already learned or experienced just weren’t enough – and neither was I. It wasn’t until I radically experienced the love of Jesus Christ that I became confident in who I am. I had grown up in the church, but it was more of a routine to attend each Sunday rather than a relationship with God. Since developing a loving relationship with Him, I relaunched my health coaching business to help others get healthy while truly believing in themselves – by believing in the one who created them in His image.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
My business, Be Kind to Future You began as the phrase I used to get myself out of a dark place – physically, mentally & financially. At the young age of 25, I had 7 bulging and herniated discs in my back, among a plethora of other health complications to accompany them. I was taking 7-9 medications a day when I decided I needed to start questioning authority – because that was NOT a long term solution. I decided to switch to a whole foods plant based diet (the health focused version of vegan) to decrease inflammation naturally and get off all of my medications. Each day I reminded myself to “Be Kind to Future You” with the foods I consumed and within just the first month I was no longer taking any of the medications! After the food, Be Kind to Future You transpired into a phrase I used to better every area of my life, cross things off my to do list & break a lot of old habits of procrastination. After doing so in my own life I felt called to help others do that same with the new knowledge I had acquired. Like I said about the imposter syndrome, it was much more difficult in my first year and a half of business. I was still a very sensitive people pleaser so the littlest rejection would cause me to go into a downward spiral of self destruction. I was going to give up completely with my business or change it to pursue something easier & less personal until Jesus Christ came into the picture. I gained such a new understanding of who He created me to be. He has given me an unexplainable peace through chaos and a confidence I have never known. Now, my faith has been the driving force of the relaunch of my business! I relaunched a new faith based approach to my 3 month health coaching program that focused on nutrition, mindset and fitness. Instead, we dive into all things healthy and Holy through consumption, connection and re-creation! The first month clients receive their starter kit with a hand painted & customized recipe box full of plant based recipes to follow as we dive into nutrition, their own faith based journal for month 2, documents preparing them for every step of the program and their own Hope Dealer tote bag! Every starter kit is prayed over and given a personalized welcome letter written by me! I also have established a routine for sharing free resources on YouTube such as a podcast, meditations, stretches, bible study replays, and other healthy tips! If you’ve been searching for change and want a spiritual cheerleader encouraging & motivating you along the way, this is your sign!My new program is accepting clients NOW and you can schedule a FREE consultation on www.bekindtofutureyou.com or https://calendly.com/jordan-r-roche1/free-consultation.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The three most important areas of knowledge for my journey to succeed were understanding plant based diet, implementing physical activity through joyful & mindful movement and unlocking my relationship with Jesus Christ. My advice to anyone reading would be to put down the role of people pleaser and get to the bottom of your own needs. When you continue on a path of people pleasing it leads to places you never expected – or desired – to be. It morphs you into someone you can’t even recognize. Get rid of the toxins in your life, in food or your environment, and pursue life with a God given purpose. If you don’t know how to figure out what your God given purpose is, I’d love to help point you in the right direction! I will actually be hosting a FREE 7-day online retreat ALL about toxic-free living from March 14th – March 20th! Subscribe to my email list at www.bekindtofutureyou.com to receive the details!

Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
God. Matthew 19:26 says “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” That is a complete representation of my business journey before He stepped into the picture. I felt like I was drowning in things I couldn’t figure out on my own. I felt like I needed help, but I didn’t know where to turn. As soon as He entered the picture, my mind was renewed. The anxiety, although it occasionally tries to creep back in, has been out of the picture as I trust in His plan for my life. He leads me through my day and helps me overcome anything that gets in my way. He has blessed me with so many gifts along the way to bring out confidence in my capability. None of this would be possible without Him.
