THE COACH JENNIE
Hello, I am Jennie Jordan — a Business Strategist specializing in eBay growth, parts-based businesses, and building scalable online operations.
I help driven individuals turn ideas into structured, profitable systems through clear strategy, consistent execution, and intentional growth—while also developing the mindset required to sustain it.
With experience building and scaling niche businesses, I share real-world insights on what it actually takes to grow. Around here, we focus on both how you think and how you execute—because lasting success requires both.
This podcast is where business meets self-leadership. We talk about:
- Building profitable businesses from the ground up
- Executing with clarity and consistency
- Strengthening the mindset needed to grow, adapt, and lead
If you are ready to think bigger, move forward with confidence, and build something that works in the real world—you are in the right place.
So grab your notebook, get grounded, and let’s build something meaningful.

Forced to Slow Down: Lessons from Being Home with COVID 😵💫
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I share a very real and personal reflection on being home with COVID. As someone who values momentum, discipline, movement, and productivity, being forced to slow down was not easy.
What began as frustration became an unexpected lesson in awareness, resilience, and perspective.
This conversation is not just about being sick. It is about identity. It is about what happens when we cannot perform at our usual capacity. It is about listening to our bodies instead of pushing through them.
I walk through what this experience taught me about health, energy, mindset, and honoring recovery without guilt.
What I Share in This Episode
1. The Mental Battle of Slowing Down
- When you are used to achieving, producing, and moving forward, being still can feel uncomfortable. I talk about the internal resistance that showed up and how quickly the mind wants to label rest as weakness.
Key Insight: Rest is not regression. It is part of sustainable success.
2. Listening to the Body Instead of Fighting It
- Fatigue, congestion, low energy — these symptoms were reminders that healing requires cooperation, not force. I share how I shifted from frustration to acceptance and why honoring recovery is a strategic decision, not an emotional one.
Key Insight: Your body is data. Pay attention to it.
3. Identity Beyond Productivity
- Who are you when you are not “doing”? This experience created space to reflect on identity outside of output. I discuss the importance of separating self-worth from performance.
Key Insight: You are valuable because of who you are, not how much you accomplish.
4. The Long Game Perspective
- High performers often focus on daily wins. Illness forces you to zoom out. I share how this experience reinforced the importance of playing the long game with health, habits, and mindset.
Key Insight: Sustainable success requires maintenance — just like a high-performance car.
Practical Takeaways
- Honor your recovery without guilt
- Prioritize hydration, nutrition, and sleep
- Reduce expectations temporarily
- Protect your nervous system
- Remember that healing is productive
Final Reflection
- Sometimes life slows you down so you can recalibrate & sometimes the lesson is not in doing more — but in allowing space. If you have recently felt frustrated by a setback, illness, or forced pause, this episode is your reminder: slowing down does not mean you are falling behind.
