Finding Peace in the Chaos with Jo Gaddes

Jo Gaddes knows firsthand that life doesn't wait for us to have everything figured out.

It asks us to just keep showing up, because some of life's greatest transformations happen in the midst of uncertainty.

By every measure, Jo had built the life she was supposed to.

Through divorce, motherhood, redundancy, caring for aging parents and the unexpected awakening that arrived in midlife, Jo discovered that there was no perfect moment to stop everything and reinvent herself.

What began as a personal search for steadiness became a philosophy for living. That philosophy became her first book, Balancing on Water.

Jo balances a senior corporate leadership career with writing, raising two teenage boys and navigating the occasionally hilarious world of being single and dating in midlife. It's a subject she's exploring in her next book, The Mid-life Dating Crisis, because apparently one midlife adventure wasn't quite enough.
