Jo Hodson, a quietly unconventional creative designer and certified health coach, reveals how she transformed her life by embracing a nomadic lifestyle, self-building her camper van, and leaving behind a decade-long career in architecture. Despite encountering struggles along the way, Jo's journey is a testament to resilience and reinvention. Through candid discussions, she opens up about the loneliness she sometimes faces as an introverted nomad and the importance of building community on the road, urging wellness-based entrepreneurs to chase their multiple passions and challenge societal norms.

Jo, who was diagnosed with ADHD in 2020, shares how she has embraced her unique thought processes to craft a business model aligning with her personal strengths. She recounts her transition from managing a food business to focusing on design and business strategy, highlighting the desire for location independence. By leveraging intense, hyper-focused 'design days', Jo has found a way to overcome self-criticism and foster self-compassion while navigating a multifaceted lifestyle that includes van life, dog/house sitting, and design work.

As we chat, Jo offers insights into trusting one's intuition and the courage required to pursue unconventional paths. She reflects on using unexpected challenges as catalysts for positive change and the necessity of creating mental space to explore new ways of living and working. By resisting societal blueprints and embracing individuality, Jo's story inspires listeners to craft a life that aligns with personal values and unique rhythms.
