And overcoming those changes can take some real resilience.Jo Clark is one of those really resilient people who has not only gone through it, but is now helping others to do the same. Jo's life once moved at breakneck speed. She juggled the demands of work, family, and keeping everything running smoothly. She guided her children through school, cared for dying parents, and coped with their loss. After decades of teaching, she hit burnout while also navigating the challenges of perimenopause. And amidst it all, Jo and her family moved to a new town. Now, all of her inner transformation work, decades of teaching experience, studies and mentoring expertise have all led her to create a heart-led business that supports women through this phase of life.In this episode she shares:-       Her childhood experiences of domestic violence-       What it was like living on the land in remote Australia-       The challenge of transitioning from the land to a different lifestyle-       Her experience with empty nest syndrome and Resilience-       Why Midlife is a time for reflection and re-evaluation of one's values and life choices.-       How grief can be multi-layered and complex, and it can impact different aspects of lifeKey Quotes"Open conversations about domestic violence are crucial""Experiences of adversity can shape a person's resilience”More about JoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joclarkcoaching/Website www.Joclarkcoaching.comPodcast: Redefining Midlife: https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/podcastYou can get involved with the podcast onlineOn facebook in our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengesthatchangeusOr on Instagram: @challengesthatchangeusIf you want to contact the podcast, email us here: [email protected] check out our website: www.Challengesthatchangeus.comIf you want to find out more about what Ali does, check out her business via the website:http://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.auFor her other business you can find it through the websites: www.altitudefitnessarmidale.com.au Hosted on Acast.
