There is no doubt in my mind that Busy-Ness has reached epidemic proportions. For most of us “I’m Busy” has become a badge of honour- undeniably stating to the world “I AM IN DEMAND, I AM VALUABLE”. “Isn’t it obvious?” we think we are proving to ourselves and the world… “Everyone wants a piece of […]

That just might change your world.
Jo&Co Episode 3 – Overwhelm first aid
It doesn’t matter where you sit on the spectrum of leadership, whether you are CEO of a global company or a local community centre volunteer, we all suffer this from time to time… Overwhelm! Even when you have mastered prioritising, time management or delegation, we all hit overwhelm at some stage. Today I wanted to […]
The Gift of Receiving
Last week I had a melt down. As I looked at the triggers it became clear that I had once more got myself into a situation where I was supporting everyone, and I wasn’t getting the support I needed. Don’t get me wrong here I have a great supportive team. They are amazing. But I’m […]
Jo&Co Episode 2 – Making a Difference
In this episode I’m taking a look at “Making a Difference”. As you know I am passionate about helping you change your corner of the world, but influencing people wasn’t always something I felt 100% comfortable with, it felt manipulative. In this episode I will share with you my realisation on how I was able […]

How to Live Like a Queen
In 1533, a girl was born who would go on to do what no woman ever had before in England: take the throne, rule the country for nearly half a century, oversee military victories and a cultural renaissance, survive multiple conspiracies to assassinate her, and keep many of the the male royals of Europe waiting […]
3 Tips for Dressing the Best Version of You
Something I started to notice in my twenties (way before I trained to become an image consultant), is how my behaviour changes according to how I feel I look on any given day. Back then I worked in glossy magazines where the workforce was impossibly glamorous and fashionable. I’d just graduated from Uni and had […]
The power of living your rhythm
Have you ever watched people surfing? The really great surfers read the rhythm of the ocean, sitting on their boards and chatting when the waves pull back, then jumping up in perfect timing with those big gorgeous waves that crash forward. They know that there’s a time to sit still and a time to jump […]
Why Nourishing Yourself is the Least Selfish Thing You Can Do
In my work, I’m privileged to connect with so many truly amazing women — and I’m always amazed by how naturally caring and giving they are. Whether it’s in the form of making life better for whole communities or just making sure that family dinner is a time of special connection, these women are on […]
What does it really mean to play your strengths as a woman?
What are the first words that come to mind when you think about the feminine? Soft, nurturing … maybe a bit recessive, even weak? And what about when you think about female power? Does your mind immediately go to sports commercials and Superwomen? Seems like a bit of a contradiction, doesn’t it, like you either […]
How to stop overwhelm in its tracks
Stress, time poverty, and overwhelm has become incredibly common among women — in fact, it’s almost become a badge of honour! And it’s no wonder. In a society where we’re largely expected to function linearly, exactly like men (although our biology is totally different), not to mention the association of busyness with personal value and […]
Why you should love your inner critic
About six months ago, I got the idea that I wanted to get a painting that signified Mother Earth to put in this particular spot on my bedroom wall. So I did some Googling online and I found some pictures that I really liked … but they were done by an artist in the States, […]
How to Banish Confusion: Let Your Body Be Your Guide
How many times has this happened to you? You have a decision that you know you have to make, but for some reason you just … can’t … do it. You feel paralysed by “what ifs” and “maybes” to the point that you may not even end up making a decision at all. But what […]
My Rituals for Reentry: How to Hit the Ground Running After a Break
I think there are few things as frustrating as coming back from a holiday ready to take on the world the morning of your first day back … and feeling like you’ve fallen flat on your face by the afternoon. This used to happen to me all the time (and from what you ladies have […]
How to make changes that actually stick
A few weeks ago, millions of people throughout the UK made New Year’s resolutions … and this Sunday, most people are going to break them. In fact, the 17th of January has become known as “Ditch Your New Year’s Resolution Day” because statistically, that’s when the most people break their diets, pick up a cigarette, […]
How to create heart-centred goals
Lots of the women I know love to set themselves big goals. This is going to be the year that you finally start that business, have a child, go to six figures, take the trip of a lifetime, get fit … all these dreams and opportunities are so delicious and exciting! But I want to […]
The art of gracefully receiving
This time of year is all about giving and receiving. And if you’re like many women, you’re great at the giving part. It feels natural to want to give to those you care about, it feels great to see the difference that your gifts can make in other people’s lives, and of course, it makes […]
Feeling exhausted? Read this
I was speaking to several very successful women at an event a few weeks ago, and as the conversation turned to the upcoming holidays and end of the year, every single one of them told me the same thing: they felt worn down, disappointed in their progress, and desperate to fit “just one more thing” […]
The Magic of Repeating Yourself
Women like you and I are in a powerful place. Thankfully, we’re in it together and it’s true that we really do have the knowledge at our finger tips and the capacity to create, and experience, the lives and businesses that we truly desire. Does that seem far fetched to you? For many this is […]
How to Unblock Your Flow
Do you ever have those times where you just feel off? Like no matter what you do, you just feel a bit bottled up and stuck, a bit out of flow. I get this way sometimes too, as we all do — but I’ve found that there’s a very easy, very quick way to break […]
