Hello I’m Jocelyn
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, MY ADVENTURE BEGAN
Have you ever stopped and thought, enough is enough, I need to change things around? Switch my life up a bit so life isn’t ruling me. That is exactly what happened in my life, in my late thirties. One day everything changed, and I never looked back. The power of self awareness.
I was working in retail for many years and felt I could give so much more to my life. Not that retail is a bad career choice, no better way to involve yourself with people every day, it is a positive life skill for sure. But I had been doing it for so long and felt burnt out, I was ready to move on. A shift was happening inwards. At the same time, while working in retail, I worked as a DJ in Dublin’s pubs and clubs, every weekend. I had started DJ’ing in my twenties (fell into that opportunity, which I am very grateful) it was a time of my life that helped me pay my mortgage and still start over in a whole new career
COLLEGE AND WORK;
Deciding to go back to college and planning a brand-new lifestyle and career in Personal Training, Fitness, Health and Nutrition guidance had me feeling extremely anxious. I was throwing myself into an industry that was very competitive, male dominant and at an age a lot older (41) than my, all male, college class mates but the passion to change over ride the fear. I was aware of some shift deep in my gut, I had to trust it, believe I could and give it my all.
Qualified in 2012, and making a decision to further my education I spent the next year doing ADD ON courses. Kettlebell, TRX, Nutrition workshops, Strength and Conditioning, Pre and Post Natal Course. Anything that could give me the skills to be the best I possibly could and have the best tools for my future clients. I eventually found the perfect location to put my skills to test, two years full on working with other personal trainers until I had the itch to open up my own business. JMFitness was born and through this incredible journey I am where I am today, everything felt Revived and Renewed
SELF WORTH, LETTING THE WALLS DOWN;
Its incredible how your life can change in all areas when you pay attention to what doesn’t work for you, learning not to keep pressing the repeat button again and again. But most importantly fighting the fear of change. This journey was bringing me on an adventure of self-discovery as well as changing other people’s lives. I was embracing it all and learning my self-worth. I was opening up to new possibilities and being brave to take on new opportunities. I had realized that over the years in my twenties and thirties I wasn’t very kind to ME. Only when your out of situations you can see clearly. I had let things slide with people, knowing it was wrong for me, but turned a blind eye which now, looking back, I would never stand for, because I now know my worth. I was awful to my body, eating crap, drinking, putting myself through dark times, ignoring the signs, the whispers to change. Repeating toxic relationships.
This is why I always say to my clients or to anyone who spends time with me at our events, retreats, hikes, Camino’s, you can change your life around at any age. Your WHY your WORTH has to be so true to you, that no matter what gets in the way you will keep rising and living on your high vibrations. You will become aware of how it feels. If it feels good, keep at it, if it doesn’t, stop, it’s that simple
When the vibrations are high, anything is possible. Like attracts like. What you have in your life, you attracted it. My vibrations were on their highest levels, and then I met Bob.
YOU DESIGN THE LIFE YOU TRULY DESIRE
I had been in an relationship for 13 years from the age of 17, single for a little over 10 years and now after working on myself, for a few years, I was ready for love. This connection that was about to happen, made me understand the divine, the magic of the universe so much more than I could have imagined. Two souls meeting, it was no coincidence. It was mapped out for us. We both opened up and the stars aligned. Bob, was in a similar situation as me. Going on the Camino de Santiago in 2013, solo, to find something deeper in life, deeper in him, he discovered something special, he was ready for something new, the walls were coming down. 2014, we met. 2016, we married and a decade later we have built something very special. None of this could have happened if, each of us, stayed exactly where we were.
I believe in magic, I believe, you can have anything your heart desires, if it’s for your highest good. All you have to do is work on you, put you first, trust the process and believe. If nothing changes, nothing changes.
LIFE COACHING
In 2017, I qualified as a executive and accreditive life coach. This is where I could go that extra mile for my clients. As a personal trainer and fitness coach, my ethos was all about the mind first then everything else will follow. Something that has stayed with me for many years. What you tell yourself, you believe and this plays a huge part in achieving in life, your goals and how you feel on a daily basis
Life Coaching, I believe is the stepping stone to designing your life. Delving deep within, to set solid foundations, so you can be open to new possibilities and opportunities. Everything starts with You. All the parts in your life are brought in to enhance, play havoc, or teach you a lesson, it’s your choice what you do with them. As a coach, I work on where you are now, bringing awareness to what life has brought you, taught you so far and move forward in a positive way. I can relate to chaos, I understand, and this is why I’m so invested in this part of my work. Like a ripple effect, this journey has opened new doors and a new decade arrived with something very special to offer me. Never give up on finding a deeper meaning, open your heart and let new light enter.
NEW AWAKENINGS
At 50, another energy shifted. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagined that I would be opening up to the divine light. Even in my forties, I never meditated. I was so invested in the physical form that everything else took a back seat. Physical wellbeing is important, being mind strong is important but as I discovered after many years, the light inside you needs to reignited to live with peace and tranquility. Calmness is a gift, a gift I am only discovering later in life and I am enlightened. May 2023, after being introduced to Reiki energy healing, I qualified Level 1 degree in Usui Reiki. January 2024, I qualified Level 2 degree in Usui Reiki. Also in January 2024, I completed. level 1 Rahanni, Celestial Healing. This came as a huge surprise to my journey, but I was learning to feel my energy and go with what felt right and not put blocks up to stunt my growth (like I did for many years, no time, won’t work, can’t afford it) In my fifties now and here I am starting a new. My ethos for life popping up again, It is never to late to do something new. Each decade is a great way to revalue your life, pause and feel your present life. DO YOU LOVE HOW IT FEELS? Nothing is impossible, as the saying goes “I’m possible”
