Be inspired to find your own resilience

Jo Hassan did not just 'arrive' as the vibrant pink personality she is so well known for. Through her life's journey, you'll read of wisdom and strategies that you too could embrace. The Girl from the small English Village, met and married the Man from Cyprus in Far North Queensland, and soon after inherited a 12 year old step-daughter - a very lonely and distressed girl from Turkey.

This resulted in step-parenting in a culturally diverse family unit, with constant troubles along the way led to postnatal depression (PND), and ongoing issues with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when Jo finally had her own baby. And yet Jo found ways to work through these, and business challenges over a 20 year period to become the 'Queen of Resilience'.

For Jo, the colour pink has long been her 'go-to happy place' and became a strong component of her ability to work through her PTSD. In this book she shares the background and how she overcame the struggles to be "the sum of all those parts"... to evolve and now share her how. If you struggle with mental illness or know someone who does, this book may be helpful. And especially so if you or they are a small business owner or leader.

Contributor Bio(s): Hassan, Jo: - There is nothing typical about Jo Hassan. She oozes vibrancy and many people, even those older than her, have said "When I grow up I want tobe you." Some friends say that they follow her on social media because they want to vicariously enjoy her life. If only they knew how it has sometimes been in the past. Johasn't always so publicly inspired others because in an earlier era she retreated into the numb secrecy of dark despair whilst trying to overcome postnatal depression (PND) and then post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). People today see smiling "Pink Jo" and that is a decision. Wearing pink and smiling anyway was a coping strategy to survive life that became a coping strategy to survive business as well. Since 2006 Jo has shared business lifestyle strategies with small business owners so they can have more freedom too. That became Jo's passion and she's done it really well. She understands how it is and how they think. It led her to create the PEPP(R) Model where Purpose, Energy, Pleasure and Profit play an important part of the decision-making process before doing anything. More than most Jo deserves the title "The Queen of Resilience" and, via this book and speaking, she is ready to share the back story on the back story. It's time to start the hard conversation about an unusual case of PTSD. About how the girl from the English village found herself in a culturally rich marriage, mothering a distressed teenager not much younger than herself. The journey had multiple unexpected "jagged edges" and Jo found the fortitude to push through and become an inspiration. Jo lives in Brisbane, Australia. She loves being a Mum, connecting people, making photo books and baking (pink) cupcakes. She enjoys travelling-especially back to The Village from whence she came. To keep fit and healthy she kicks her footbike (an adult scooter with bicycle wheels) and recently achieved a goal of going 100 km in one go which took seven hours!
