NAOMI JORDAN; Navigating the Fear of Starting, To Continue to Compete or Not?, Spiritual Gifts, Dental Hygiene

About this episode

Naomi Jordan shares her journey in bodybuilding, discussing the challenges of starting, competing, and balancing her career as a dental hygienist.

In today's episode, I sit down with IFBB Pro Naomi Jordan, a registered dental hygienist who found bodybuilding as both a creative outlet and a space for personal growth. She began training in the gym around 2013, stepped on stage for the first time in 2022, and earned her Pro card in 2023 at just her third show. Naomi shares her journey of navigating uncertainty, listening to her inner voice, and balancing faith, career, and competing at a high level. We talk about the fear of getting started, evolving your relationship with the sport, and how to decide whether continuing to compete aligns with your life and values. Naomi also opens up about competing after multiple knee surgeries, finding the right coach, and staying grounded in seasons of transition.
