From a breakdown to a break through - moving into self employment with Jo Hooper
Episode 11, Oct 10, 2022, 10:11 AM
This insightful and inspiring episode shares the highs and lows of Jo's journey and covers some difficult topics including depression and breakdowns but also break throughs.
Jo describes herself as an Edinburgh-based, Celtic history-obsessed, space holding 'firebrand'. FYI, a firebrand is a person who is passionate about a cause, or a burning piece of wood and Jo sees herself as both.
After a burnout and breakdown in her employed role, Jo became successfully self-employed and has set up her own business - The Mad & Sad Club - where she now helps other people struggling with their mental health to get back on track and live their best life working for themselves, on their terms.
