Description

Welcome to the magic in the messy, this podcast began as a series of raw unfiltered and totally unedited 'brains dumps' recorded as simple voice notes on my phone as an outlet for processing my own thoughts on what it means to dig beneath the surface and live life on my own terms. Slowly I began to share these vulnerable words with clients who resonated with the messages within, then when I began creating conversations with others as research for a book, the energy changed gear but the overall message remained - In order to reach the magic in our lives we need to be willing to embrace the messy along the way! Now I'm ready to share it all with you too. I'm Jo Hodson and I invite you to jump on board and embrace the #messymagic
