Description

If you feel like you can’t achieve balance, no matter how hard you try, that you put in the effort, but are not seeing results, you aren’t alone.
For 25 years, Jo Dodd worked in Corporate America for a Fortune 500 company. With every passing year came more stress.
Jo was completely overwhelmed and felt like she was failing in every aspect of her life. She was fighting a daily battle to keep a smile on her face and put one foot in front of the other. 
In 2020, She was furloughed and it was then that her world began to change. She’d always had a dream of writing children’s books. So, she spent my time writing books, getting her coaching certificate, and dreaming of a life where she could touch hearts with her books. 
These days, Jo is designing her life where she gets to be the Mum who has time to spend with her kids. She is writing books with her younger sons and enjoying every moment of watching their excitement as they too become published authors!
 
Listen to this inspiring Parenting With Impact episode with Jo Dodd about reimagining your life in a way that is fulfilling and brings value to others.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

How to transition your thinking and actions to achieve greater balance and well-being.

The importance of self-care and its essential role in a healthy family.
