"We had the good fortune of connecting with Jordan Norman and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jordan, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?"
"I had always been a “side gig” girl… graduating with a bachelors in business, I worked a formal 9-5 in software for 6 years. I taught yoga alongside my 9-5 for 5 years, however, the “side gigs” kept entering my life. Life experiences led me to The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) in 2020, and I became a certified Fertility Awareness Educator in 2022 – teaching women how to chart their cycles as a natural form of birth control. In 2022, I also became a reiki practitioner – this wasn’t planned, however, the universe called me to the work and a friend offered to attune me for free. As all of these healing modalities were entering my life, I continued to be called to help my community in this way. However, there was only so much time in the day. In April of 2023, I left my 9-5 to help my grandpa cross off a bucket list item of driving to Alaska one more time (he had driven it 9 times already, but was determined to make 10 times). Although I didn’t necessarily quit my corporate job to dedicate my time to yoga, reiki, and FAM, it was clear that this was a highway (no pun intended) to working for myself full time. My physical and mental health improved dramatically when I left corporate, I had more time to help people around me, and the opportunities for this work kept falling into my lap. It was apparent that helping people full time with yoga, reiki & FAM was what I was supposed to be doing."
« Pouvez-vous nous en dire plus sur votre enfance ? »
Enfant, j'étais une fille joyeuse, extravertie et aventureuse. J'ai grandi entourée de nombreux cousins et amis, et j'adorais m'occuper d'eux. On me voyait souvent, le sourire aux lèvres, courir dans le jardin. Née et élevée au Colorado, j'ai toujours aimé le grand air. J'ai commencé très jeune à skier, à faire de la randonnée, du camping et de la pêche, des passions qui m'ont suivie jusqu'à l'âge adulte. Aujourd'hui encore, je trouve la paix au contact de la nature.
J'avais déjà la fibre entrepreneuriale dès mon enfance. Je faisais le ménage chez mes grands-parents et je mettais une tirelire à pourboires (qu'ils ont toujours). À l'école primaire, j'ai commencé à écrire un magazine que je distribuais à mes oncles et tantes. Cet esprit d'entreprise m'a suivie à l'âge adulte, puisque j'ai créé Ivy Wild Wellness LLC. Bien que j'aie été une employée modèle dans une grande entreprise, j'apprécie les défis que représente le travail à mon compte et je pense que cela correspond davantage à ma personnalité.
