Things have changed somewhat so it's time to get reacquainted. If you've been following for a while, thank you for being on this journey with me and if you're new here, welcome!
Hi, I'm Jo! ππΏ
Mum, wife, Cocker Spaniel owner, Ragdoll cat mum, and yes bird keeper too! I love being out in nature, travelling, or curling up with a really good book - or better still combining all three!
Today has been my first official day of self-employment. I started my day with one of my mentees from the Crossing Thresholds programme and I couldn't think of a better way to start this journey! Something I was able to do alongside my role I am pleased to be able to continue on a voluntary basis as this work has always felt so important and is such a privilege.
I spent years in senior leadership, giving everything to work and family, and eventually burned out (more than once). That experience, combined with general life-ing, changed everything. It sent me on a journey back to myself - through movement, meditation, yoga, poetry, Reiki, and learning (slowly!) that I can't pour from an empty cup.
I've come through burnout, bereavement, chronic health challenges, and more than a few crises of confidence. And everything I've been through has brought me here - to Truly Rooted Wellbeing, work I'm now fully devoted to instead of trying to manage it alongside a full time job. Because this is the work that's most important, that truly lights me up and I simply couldn't give what I wanted to give, what people deserve to receive, while juggling a job that ultimately drained me.
I'm here for women who are holding a lot, who've quietly lost themselves somewhere along the way, and who are ready to come back to themselves, gently, and at their own pace (with some gentle encouragement!).
I'll be sharing more about me, why I do this work, and how. I hope something here resonates. π
Follow along and share with anyone who might need this. Spread the love π
