How resilience changed my life forever
Discovering Resilience: Jo’s Journey from Overwhelm to Inner Strength
Intro
“our sessions have changed my life because of how I now tackle things. I think I would be totally falling apart right now if it wasn’t for the changes you have helped me make”
Jo is a busy Mum of 2 who runs a brick and mortar business with her husband. Jo spent almost her whole first session in tears – exhausted, depleted, overwhelmed. Her workload was enough to keep 2 or 3 people fully occupied and she couldn’t see a way to change that anytime soon

Taking Time Management to a Whole New Level
Challenge
Jo’s biggest challenge was managing her massively overloaded list of jobs. Juggling payroll and marketing, accounts and invoicing with caring for children and managing the home is something many women in business struggle with.
Jo found herself staying up late into the night so she could work whilst her children slept…but the result was that she was utterly exhausted.
We needed to find a solution that would allow Jo to fill her well and do the necessary work for her business.
Solution
The first step was to get Jo to sleep more – afternoon naps, early nights, dozing on the sofa whilst the kids played, any and all sleep was a priority. To make sure that Jo could keep up with the essential business jobs, we created a system called microslots. Jo would write a to-do list and allocate a time estimate to each task. Instead of prioritising tasks in terms of importance (we’d got rid of all but the essential tasks anyway), Jo would pick a task to complete based on how much time she had available at that point
