You Are The Heart
Tune into who you authentically are
Welcome
I’m Jo and there are no coincidences that you’ve arrived here.
The journey that began with the loss of my son, Adam, opened a doorway I never expected.
I discovered that the heart is not just where we feel – it’s where we lead, where we live, and where we remember who we truly are.
This site is an invitation to reconnect with the foundation of you – your heart.
Bridging Two Worlds
I’ve walked through boardrooms and heartbreak, policy reviews and personal revelations. With one foot in the corporate world and the other in the unseen, I’ve come to understand that true leadership, connection, and authenticity begin in the heart. My own heart cracked open when Adam passed away. In the space grief left behind, I began to truly meet myself—layer by layer, breath by breath. I’ve since discovered that love doesn’t end, and death doesn’t mean disconnection. I’m not a guru. I’m not here to fix. I simply hold space and share what I’ve lived.
Love doesn't die. It transforms.
Book (Coming soon)
When Adam transitioned at 16, everything I believed about life, death, and identity unraveled.
I am co-authoring a book with my son Adam, who now lives in light. This book shares our interconnected journeys – mine in human form, his in spirit – and the extraordinary ways we remain connected.
It is a story of grief, love, transformation, and the power of the heart to transcend what we thought we knew about death.

Death change me. But it did not end love.
The Heart & GrieF
When Adam transitioned at 16, everything I believed about life, death, and identity unraveled.
In its place came a knowing: the heart is the foundation that never dies.
Grief revealed my authentic self. And with it, the awareness that we are connected to something much larger—something unseen, but always present.
This section is a reflection and an offering: for anyone sitting with grief, with questions, or with the ache of becoming.

Together with Joss Tennent, I co-founded State of You - a partnership devoted to the psychology of the heart. Through workshops, writing, and universal messages, we support leaders, individuals, and businesses to remember that the heart is not a metaphor. It’s a compass.
Let’s explore the space where heart and work, presence and purpose, intersect.
