Recovery doesn't have to be perfect to be effective, and sometimes the very quest for perfect recovery can keep us stuck in our healing journey. Jo Thomas shares her personal experience with overcoming POTS and chronic fatigue, highlighting how shifting mindsets and letting go of perfectionism accelerated her healing process.• Jo's recovery journey came in layers—medical management first, followed by lifestyle changes and nervous system regulation• Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overachieving often contribute to chronic fatigue and can hinder recovery• Focus on responding appropriately to your body rather than pushing for linear progress• Your responsibility is to take appropriate recovery actions, not to control how your body responds• What feels like a setback might actually be a normal bodily response to increased activity• Recovery often means living life differently than before—usually in better alignment with your values• Becoming overly focused on achieving "full recovery" can create pressure that impedes progress• Our bodies communicate through symptoms—learning to interpret them rather than fear them is key• Many people discover that post-recovery life is actually better than pre-illness life• "Keeping yourself in wellness" becomes a lifelong practice rather than reaching a finish lineLinks:Jo's website: https://jothomascoaching.com/Message the podcast! - questions will be answered on my youtube channel :) For more information about Long Covid Breathing courses & workshops, please check out LongCovidBreathing.com (music credit - Brock Hewitt, Rule of Life) Support the show~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.

I'll introduce Jo. Introducing romance author Jo Thomas Jo Thomas Best selling author of feel-good fiction featuring food, love and family... Hello there Jo, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Jo Thomas: Jenny, great to be here. Jenny Wheeler: You say up front that the sorts of books you write are about food, love, family, and fun. You like to have happy endings. And they are for people who like sunny and funny. Is that's how you started out your writing? Jo Thomas: It's really yes, because they were the books that I loved to read. And I would read authors like Katie Fforde, Jill Mansell and Milly Johnson. I wanted books that would take me to somewhere different where you felt that you would join in old friends? Like in the evenings, I can remember reading a Jilly Cooper and getting into bed at night and thinking, ‘I'm going to visit old friends down the pub.' And it's a nice place to be. I want people to feel that they care about the characters in my books and that they're with them through adversity and that they leave with hope and a smile on their face. When you start writing, people say, oh, write about what you know, and I thought, I don't know about anything. The only thing I like is food really. But I'm not a chef. I'm just someone who's interested in where their food comes from and then I thought why not write about the thing I'm interested in? I was in a restaurant in Galway, in Ireland with my husband and I was like, ‘I dunno what I'm gonna write about.' A perfect setting for Jo's first best seller I'd ordered some oysters and they put down this platter of oysters in front of me. And just for a moment, it stopped raining for a while. And I looked out the window and I was looking out over Galway Bay and the moon came and shone silvery shadow across the water and the candle was going in the window and it was like being in someone's front room eating these oysters. And I thought, this is sexy.

A gorgeous, sun-soaked romance set in Southern Spain. The perfect holiday beach listen for fans of Milly Johnson and Jo Thomas. Some people are romantics. Some aren't. When Sophie and Maddie are summoned to a mysterious, top-secret meeting by their best friend Kate's partner, and told that he's planning to whisk Kate away for a surprise wedding in Gibraltar, it's immediately clear that bubbly florist Sophie is a total romantic. And that freewheeling, purple-haired Maddie is not. Soon, Maddie finds herself reluctantly organising venues, planners and ceremonies; trying not to think of her own memories of Andalucia, and those she's lost touch with there. Meanwhile Sophie's hoping this dreamy gesture might spur on her own boyfriend to similar plans...and absolutely not thinking at all about Kate's gorgeous brother-in-law-to-be. But Kate's got no idea what's going on. And as the stresses pile up and the group jet off to the sunny south, it seems it's not just Kate who might get a surprise in Spain—one that could change everything....

The Benefits of Being a Generalists in the Current Business Environment Generalists are people who choose to focus their time and resources on learning about a wide range of topics. Most leaders in today's world are generalists. They perform multiple tasks, sometimes across departments, and understand all the moving parts of an organization. Unfortunately, the current business environment places more emphasis on specialising that we've forgotten the value of being a generalist.  Of course, the world needs specialists, and there's nothing wrong with having an area of focus. However, people should be mindful of the demerits of specialization. For example, people tend to specialise without knowing why. They pursue lucrative college degrees, spend years perfecting the craft, only to find out later that this is not where their heart is at.  Nevertheless, the one misconception we need to push out the door is that specializing is the only way to get ahead and take up a leadership position. In fact, the opposite holds true. Most aspiring leaders should be able to wear many hats within an organization. Businesses need specialists to solve problems. But they also crave generalists to connect the dots. Today's guest, Jo Thomas, is one such generalist. She is the CEO of the Australian Institute of Business, the largest online MBA provider in Australia.    Topics we Discussed Include: ·        Getting to Know Jo Thomas (03:25) ·        Why Jo Considers Herself an Accidental CEO (08:40) ·        Jo's First Taste of Being a Generalist (12:02) ·        Data Science and Building Predictive Algorithms (13:50) ·        Why Data Science is the Career of the Future (15:30) ·        How to Give Your Career a Definitive Direction (15:50) ·        Why Jo Decided to Pursue an MBA (19:40) ·        How to Pandemic has Made it Easier to Build Communities Online (23:55) ·        Jo's Leadership Experience at LED Lighting (26:29) ·        Top 5 Tips for Leaders and Aspiring Leaders (31:50) ·        The Best Leaders Know Their Numbers (35:20) ·        How Leaders can Know Their People (39:40) Links and Resources https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo-thomas/ (Jo's LinkedIn) https://www.aib.edu.au/ (The Australian Institute of Business) Connect With Ally Nitschke http://www.madeformore.com.au/ (Madeformore.com.au) Connect with me onhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/coach-leadership/ ( LinkedIn) Connect with me onhttps://www.instagram.com/ally.madeformore ( Instagram) andhttps://www.facebook.com/ally.madeformore ( Facebook) Subscribe to myhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWzPxo5P5XTBcKvQyUQEpyQ ( YouTube) channel Get ourhttps://www.madeformore.com.au/ ( Courageous Conversations Guide)

In the Music Real E86, and my guest is Jo Thomas Creative Director and CEO for Metro Arts in Brisbane. JFK said “The life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction, in the life of the nation, is close to the centre of a nation's purpose – and is a test to the quality of a nation's civilization.” Metro Arts plays an important role in the culture of our city as it champions contemporary art forms. It offers development programs as well as co presenting opportunities. In addition to the artistic programs Metro Arts also supports the wider artistic community by offering incredibly cool artistic spaces around the city for the use of creative businesses. Jo also Won the Telstra Business Awards Queensland Businesswomen of the Year for 2020. We hear about Metro Arts in lockdown, opportunities that have emerged as a result and plans to accommodate this new Arts ecosystem in the post COVID world.

“A lot of us have spent years and years and years creating works, seeing work, hanging out with friends, falling in love there, having our heart broken there… so that space holds a lot of memory, a lot of ghosts.” It was a huge 2019 for Metro Arts: selling the Heritage-listed building it's called home for decades, establishing a multi-million dollar arts fund, negotiating new digs and through it all, programming and commissioning a packed slate of contemporary work.Leading the multi-arts organisation through these unchartered waters was Jo Thomas; meeting emotional opposition to the sale with calm and reason, throwing herself into the unfamiliar world of investment and finance and still programming award-winning theatre.“I've had the craziest year understanding investment of money, meeting every property developer in Brisbane, going and meeting philanthropists and people who run foundations and advocating constantly.”In this podcast, Jo reflects on Metro Arts' impending 40th birthday; the creative solutions arts organisations must find to thrive in the face of dwindling government funding; and how artists must be afforded space and opportunity to push the envelope, to experiment and to deliver important work without the imposition of commercial conditions.With a background in cabaret and circus, Jo reveals the surprising similarities between her performance past and her future as custodian of Metro Art's once-in-a-generation evolution.“You've got to keep your focus on everything and make sure not one little plate can drop, not one little area loses your focus.”For more honest opinions, follow us on Instagram @imho_aus, like us on Facebook @IMHOAUS, and sign up to become a Citizen Reviewer at inmyhonestopinion.com.au.GUEST: Jo Thomas, Creative Director and CEO of Metro ArtsHOST: Belinda Seeney For information regarding your data privacy, visit Acast.com/privacy

Wrap up warm and prepare to explore the breath-taking beauty of a remote Scottish island and an old house waiting to unlock enchanting family secrets. Do you need to find out where you've come from before you can know what the future holds? Ruby's singing career is on the verge of hitting the big time, when her voice breaks. Fearing her career is over, she signs up for a retreat in Tenerife to recover. But an unexpected call from a stranger on a remote Scottish island takes her on a short trip to sort out some family business. It's time to go and see the grandfather she's never met. City girl Ruby knows she will be happy to leave the windswept beaches behind as quickly as she can, especially as a years-old family rift means she knows she won't be welcome at Teach Mhor. But as she arrives at the big house overlooking the bay, she finds things are not as straightforward as she might have thought. There's an unexpected guest in the house and he's not planning on going anywhere any time soon ...

Dartmouth College professors Half Zantop and Susanne Zantop were hanging out at home, waiting for their friend to arrive for dinner, when two boys showed up at their door. The boys said they were working on a school project. Could they ask Half a few questions? Half obliged. He’d devoted his life to academics. Of course he would help 16 year old James Parker and 17 year old Robert Tulloch. But James and Rob weren’t there for a school project. In fact, there was no school project. Then, Kristin talks about a phlebotomist named Bryan Stewart. When Bryan and Jennifer Jackson first got together, things were great. But Bryan quickly became abusive. When Jennifer left Bryan, his threats escalated. The thought of paying child support for their infant son enraged him. He promised Jennifer that their son, Brryan Jackson, wouldn’t live to the age of five. Around that same time, Bryan “joked” with coworkers that as a phlebotomist, he could inject his enemies with disease-tainted blood, and they’d never know what hit them.  And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Brryan Jackson: My father injected me with HIV” by Lucy Hancock, for BBC News “A positive life: How a son survived being injected with HIV by his father,” by Justin Heckert for GQ Magazine “Man accused of injecting H.I.V. in son,” by Jo Thomas for the New York Times “Mother testifies that defendant hinted at son’s death,” CNN “Brian Stewart (phlebotomist)” Wikipedia entry In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Dartmouth Murders” by Denise Noe, The Crime Library “Hearts of Darkness” by Alex Tresniowski, People Magazine “Dartmouth professors’ murderer to get new sentence” by Peter Schworm and John R. Ellement, The Boston Globe “Man convicted in 2001 murders of professors asks for early release” by Elliot Zornitsky, The Dartmouth “2001 Dartmouth College murders” wikipedia.org

Kindle bestseller The Oyster Catcher is Jo Thomas's first irresistibly feel-good novel, set on the coast of Ireland. 'A world you long to live in with characters you love' Katie Fforde Dooleybridge, County Galway: the last place Fiona Clutterbuck expects to end up, alone, on her wedding night. But after the words 'I do' have barely left her mouth, that's exactly where she is - with only her sequinned shoes and a crashed camper van for company. One thing is certain: Fi can't go back. So when the opportunity arises to work for brooding local oyster farmer, Sean Thornton, she jumps at the chance. Now Fi must navigate suspicious locals, jealous rivals and an unpredictable boss if she's to find a new life, and love, on the Irish coast. And nothing - not even a chronic fear of water - is going to hold her back. Join Fi as she learns the rules of the ocean - and picks up a few pearls of Irish wisdom along the way... Glowing praise for The Oyster Catcher: 'A warm and witty debut' Carole Matthews 'A perfect pearl of a story. I loved it' Milly Johnson 'A heart-warming tale full of Celtic charm...

Then there's her infuriatingly brash tutor, Isaac, and the enigmatic Madame Beaumont tucked away in her vineyard of secrets.

NARRATOR: ‘A Place of Healing’ by Adults competition winner Jo Thomas. Constance: Another beautiful day Lydia, and in such perfect surroundings. Lydia:  Dearest Constance, I could not agree more. When Edmund told me the rest home was in Chiswick, I was most distressed at the thought of leaving London for the country, but I am now beginning to wonder how we shall ever get used to the noise of Belgravia again! Constance:  I completely agree with you my dearest. And how kind of our husbands to arrange for this period of recuperation for us. Although, if I were to be completely honest, I am a little surprised I have not been recalled to Ebury Street by now. I was of the impression that our period of rest was for two weeks. Correct me if I am wrong Lydia, but I believe we have both been here for something closer to three months? Lydia: Dearest, that is indeed the case. And I feel sure we are now well recuperated. Which is more than one can say for some of our fellow guests. There is a clever word for people who covet the possessions of others, I cannot remember it just at […]

Most of us are growing old disgracefully; much to the embarrassment of our children. So, what are you doing that you probably shouldn’t be doing at your age? Would the list be easier to create if perhaps we ask what is NOT appropriate for the middle aged? Note: see skinny jeans. This episode we’re all about age appropriateness. If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of disapproving glares from the kids and shameful head shakes from your wife (or husband), we’re here for you. Special guests in this week’s episode include a mix of our regular commentators, Yogi and Anne (covering the female perspective), and an age appropriateness expert, Dr. Jo Thomas, to discuss age appropriate activities, older men jogging, age appropriate social media activity, and the strict, unspoken rules of wearing jeans. Tune in now. Essential Learning Points from this Episode: Getting on a bicycle (Lycra optional) and jogging without prep is definitely age inappropriate (as dictated by our resident expert Yogi) By the time you hit your late 40s to early 60s, you’ll need to catch up on your health with some regular rhythm of exercise and a check up with your local doctor We cannot stress enough the social repercussions that come with wearing skinny jeans – wearer beware!
