SHOWER THOUGHTS

WITH Jordan Jesolva
Jordan is a former pro soccer player turned health coach, personal trainer, and pilates instructor. Due to career-ending injuries sustained while playing, she developed a passion for women’s health, leading her to become a certified health coach focused on women’s health and training.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT INSPIRED?

I know this sounds cheesy, but every day. I recently retired from being a pro athlete. Due to 7 major knee surgeries and an IUD complication that almost killed me, I have made it my mission to help current and former female athletes learn about their bodies in order to stay healthy and perform at a high level. I also feel inspired to help other former female athletes transition from their sport to the “real” world, as it can be hard not only on your mind but body as well.

WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHY?

My determination and relentlessness.

WHAT'S ONE THING YOU THINK OTHER PEOPLE OVERVALUE?

Our health and how our bodies work for us every single day yet most of us are speaking poorly about ourselves.

WHAT DOES THE WORD 'WELLBEING' MEAN TO YOU?

Wellbeing means overall wellness, from your mind to your body to your spirit.

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WATER?

I love water! I’m from Southern California and grew up going to the beach or swimming in my grandparents' pool. I made the choice to only live on the coast because I feel most calm and secure next to water. My apartment has a view of the water and when I’m anxious or deeply in my head, looking at it or going on a walk next to it will always ground me and make me realize how small my problems are.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR DAILY ROUTINE, WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

I want to stay off social media so much more. I find myself aimlessly scrolling for inspiration at times or as a creator I get stuck scrolling for the perfect song rather than creating. I also wish I was more disciple and consistent with my daily routine but I don’t want to become neurotic about it either. Learning to have a balanced flexible routine i can do anywhere on the world.

WHAT WOULD YOUR STARTER PACK INCLUDE?

So fun! I would say: journal, cord headphones, coffee and water lol (have to stay hydrated), pilates ball and weights, walking shoes, a cute workout set, and nature walk.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY INTERESTING SHOWER THOUGHTS LATELY?

Ahh I have so many always because showering is where I find myself to be the most creative. In a recent shower, I found I was feeling very limitless and I wasn’t holding myself back. The negative thoughts had seemed to disappear and it made me realize what I could be capable of if I didn’t let those thoughts get in my way.
