Let's light you up, friend
You have a fire inside you.
You’ve been taught to smother it, dampen it down, keep it small, quiet, not to give it air.
No more, friend.
Now it’s time to light it up.
Whether yours is a lone candle flame in a dark room, a warming hearth fire, a beautiful bonfire or a raging wildfire – I see the power in you.
Now it’s time for you to see it too.
Step into it’s light and claim your power.
It’s time to rise.
Once you’ve found your fire, we’ve stoked it up, sheltered it from winds that threaten it and built it up, you’ll be free to rise with it.
You’ll be free to be wholly, honestly you in life and work.
You’ll be free to:
🔥 Trust yourself
🔥 Believe in what you have to offer to the world
🔥 Allow your brain to work the way it wants to
🔥 Tend to the needs of your heart and health
🔥 Express the fullness of who you are
I started out helping you to build a business that is supportive of your uniqueness. I still do that – passionately, powerfully, compassionately.
But I realised that your work, your business isn’t the whole of you.
And I believe you’re wonderful, powerful, beautifully aflame as the whole of you.
So if your flame is flickering, if external forces, voices, fears, expectations are threatening to snuff it out, I will help you find it and stoke it back up again.
I’ll always reflect your power back at you.
I’ll support you to build the belief in your power yourself.
I’ll be excited for you, proud of you, kind to you, honest with you.
I’ll help you rise.
If you need support in finding and tending to your work flame, we’ll do that.
We’ll work through my Heartwood Way of doing and running a business.
Using my Heartwood Way method (it’s that tree there), this is the journey we’ll go on together:
🙌 Acknowledge and listen to your needs
🙌 Understand how you’re wired – the tendencies that tell you how you really want to work
🙌 Together we’ll build each part of your business based on those needs & tendencies
🙌 Your offers, your boundaries, your capacity and pricing and who you want to work with
[you can find my workshop walking you through The Heartwood Way of doing business here]
Enough of being a star-shaped peg being shoved into a round hole.
Enough of feeling like something is wrong with us, when it’s the environment, the society we’ve been in that’s wrong.
Enough of shaming ourselves, ridiculing ourselves, fearing what others think, feel and say about us because of our uniqueness.
It’s time.
Time to step into the light of your power, feel it warm your soul and rise.
Hi I’m Jo. ✨
An Edinburgh-based, cat loving, patriarchy denying, ableism fighting firebrand. 🔥
A firebrand is a person who is passionate about a cause, or a burning piece of wood.
I’m both.
I am passionate about FREEDOM. 💥
You feeling free to be who you are in your life and work. Free from the confines of our patriarchal, ableist, racist society, that says you should be self-less, small, pliant, kind.
That your needs should come last. We don’t believe that around here, chum.
This is the passion I burn with (along with a burning love of celltic history, rose 🍷, painted nails and strawberries) and I will happily, madly wave my burning torch aloft, ready to light the fire of those around me. 🔥🔥
READY FOR SOME FIRE LIGHTING?
It was like work therapy: challenging & beautiful.
Alex – Email marketing consultant for people into doing good
I have so much more clarity on what matters to me and a new sense of self-respect.
You have this brilliant blend of being non-judgemental whilst still challenging my thoughts around topics… even when I take 40 minutes to see the light!
It’s totally changed my perspective – I’ve got fire back in my belly again.
The biggest thing is giving myself permission to build a business around my love for creativity. It feels magical! My biggest a-ha moment was when Jo asked me to challenge the belief that I couldn’t make money from creative work. I realised I was just stopping myself from doing that because I thought it was true. Jo made me realise I was just holding myself back. You’ll learn so much about yourself in ways you could never imagine. You’ll also have Jo as your cheerleader the whole way through, celebrating your wins and nudging you to challenge your own negative thoughts.
