Jo Bolt
Jo Bolt is many things to many people, and most surprisingly (to herself), now a published author. She’s always told stories, but The Good Girl is Burned Out is the first one that really called her to be told in print, though there will be others, because you can’t put the genie back in the bottle. Writing The Good Girl is Burned Out was a key part of the journey to understand why she had hit the low of burnout, and how she could live life differently, with the same or greater levels of success, but without the struggle. In today's society, burnout is affecting more and more people, especially working mothers. The book is an opportunity to help others feel less alone, and potentially avoid the lows she endured before finally making changes to live a more aligned life. She lives in North Vancouver, BC, with her husband and kids.
