Jo’s Chats… Real Women. Real Stories. Raw Conversations.

Anna's story of victim to empowerment. 😊
This conversation includes references to domestic abuse and trauma. Please take care of yourself while watching. ⚠️
I’m bringing Jo’s Chat back live because so many of our guest stories resonate, especially when shifting hormones can make stormy seas feel even choppier.
This month I’m joined by Anna, who now runs a thriving business but is also a survivor of domestic abuse. She’ll share her journey through the aftermath of trauma, navigating perimenopause, and the small, steady steps that helped her rebuild.

In this episode of Jo's Chats, we dive into a powerful, heartfelt conversation with Jacqui A Johnson. Jacqui opens up about what she calls her ‘decade of pain’ a deeply personal journey marked by ill health, single parenting and even surviving a violent gun attack. 
Through it all, she’s emerged with a profound belief that life works for us, not to us. Her story is one of resilience, healing, and hope. 
We talk about identity, self-worth, and what it truly means to reconnect with yourself, especially when life has tried to disconnect you. This chat is honest, inspiring, and a beautiful reminder of the strength that lies beneath our pain. 
🎙️ Later in the episode, Jacqui shares more about her work as a Women’s Life Coach, Speaker, Educator, and self-described hope dealer. After 34 years as a fashion designer, she created The Magnificent Body Experience, a transformational 10-day program that guides women to reconnect with their bodies in powerful, unexpected ways.

I'm so excited to introduce Claire Rees, our brand new Expert Coach in my Facebook support group, and a truly inspiring guest on this episode 14 of Jo’s Chats.

Claire is a certified Transformational Coach who brings deep wisdom, compassion, and lived experience to her work. She specialises in helping people navigate family conflict, child alienation, trauma, and life’s major emotional transitions. What sets Claire apart is her willingness to share her own story, from her personal struggles with parental estrangement to the painful experience of being alienated from her son.

As a mum to boys myself, parts of our conversation were incredibly moving, and difficult to hear. But it’s Claire’s honesty, strength, and vulnerability that make her message so powerful. She creates space for others to explore their pain, challenge the stories they carry, and begin to heal.

Claire’s approach is grounded in empathy, real talk, and practical coaching tools that help people break free from old patterns and reclaim their voice.
