Dr. Jo Watkins shares her transformative journey from traditional NHS doctor to digital entrepreneur who takes three months off annually to travel with her family while running a thriving online business. 

Jo also talks about working with Betty to uncover the root cause of her people pleasing, lack of self care, and her tendency towards workaholism, which, once she understood and had healed, enabled her to be more present with her family, take time out for herself, and achieve a greater work- life balance.

 Topics covered include:

• Traditional upbringing by medical parents led Jo into medicine despite initial desire to become a sports physio
• Creating a granola business taught valuable entrepreneurial lessons before transitioning to digital work
• Taking a year off to travel the world with four children under 10 changed their perspective on education and lifestyle
• Discovered the benefits of homeschooling when her quiet son thrived outside traditional education
• Menopause and possible ADHD diagnosis helped Jo understand patterns of overworking and fierce independence
• Childhood trauma from surviving an air disaster at age 11 shaped her independence and drive
• Now mentors other healthcare professionals looking to create more flexible careers alongside clinical work
• Cautions against jumping from medicine to entrepreneurship without addressing burnout first

From Betty: Being in business means being visible. Being ethical in business means not using dodgy tactics, of course, but also being authentic in how we present ourselves ~~

The trouble is… Many of us carry wounds around being seen, accepted, and celebrated as the individual we are.

Left untended, these wounds divide our will, i.e. we end up with conflicted desires:

Part of us wants to be visible to grow our businesses, but another part of us is absolutely dead set on staying well and truly within the shadows… Becuase that's where it's SAFE.

…whether that means literally hiding under the duvet (I've been there 🥸),

...mega procrastination & self sabotage

…or pretending to be someone we are not, so as not to stand out (I've also been there 🤫).

The push & pull can be utterly EXHAUSTING.

But the good news is, it's relatively quick & easy to fix, once you access the level of the subconscious mind, using a modality such as hypnosis.

Come to my free 90 min workshop on 4th June 2025 and I'll teach you how you can set yourself free from past hurts, and leap confidently in the direction of your dreams.
