From Crippling Anxiety to the Stage — Jo Ferrone on Impostor Syndrome and Becoming Resilient

What if the thing that nearly stopped you was the thing that made you? Jo Ferrone is a coach and the founder of How Does She Do It — a community supporting women in business. In this conversation we get into impostor syndrome, why it shows up so strongly in capable women, and what actually helps. And then Joe shares her own story — severe anxiety from her teenage years, the GCSEs it nearly derailed, and the parents who pushed her toward the things she wanted to avoid rather than letting her withdraw. That decision changed everything. She's now a public speaker who has built her career helping other women move through the same fear she once lived inside. What would she do? She'd do the hard thing anyway.Find me on Instagram @worklife_health or drop me an email at [email protected] — and you can find Jo @howdoesshedoitlife or @siulvoicebyjoferrone
