On paper, I was a success - dream job, beautiful home and loving family. So why was I falling apart? Ascending to the heights of a successful career in tech, Jo Bolt realised she couldn't breathe. The body she'd pushed through doubt and deadlines from A-grade student to corporate leadership refused to be silenced any longer. Frustrated that playing by the rules seemed to have lost her the game, Jo took a month of leave - clearly, rest was the answer. Then four weeks turned into six, and a hard-nosed determination to get back to 'normal' turned into open-hearted curiosity. As she uncovered the source of her overwhelm, Jo began to understand how her good girl narrative had created a cage, in which she was the prisoner. But understanding was just the beginning. The Good Girl is Burned Out is an honest, first-person account of one woman's journey along the prescribed path to perfection - and how she stepped off it to live a life where ambition and success don't have to mean struggle.
