The Creative Process with Amanda Betts

Jo Wagstaff had it all. Or so she thought. At 32 she was an executive at a leading wealth management company. She had the career, the fancy car, a beautiful home, husband and baby. Until it all began to unravel. That year her marriage ended and her dad died of cancer. To numb the grief Jo worked harder, drank more, used drugs for the first time and found the most dysfunctional relationship she could – all while giving the perception to the outside world that she was thriving. While it all seemed very dark, it was also the beginning of her journey out of the darkness towards a more authentic way of life. Today she coaches men and women about their power and how to find the inner confidence to choose their best lives.

The Secrets To Leading A More Authentic Life

Have you ever felt like you are the only person thinking or feeling a certain way? Dr Jen Martin has researched and compiled an amazing list of questions and answers about how we tick that will show you that you’re definitely not alone. Everything from why we have a fear of missing out, to why multitasking is so hard ( and ineffective) and why holding eye contact is exhausting. Does everyone have more friends than me, and why do I keep putting things off? It has given her a very practical understanding of why we behave the way we do and just how normal we really are, even when we don’t feel it.
