The Good Girl is Burned Out: and thank f*ck for that - Paperback

by Jo Bolt (Author)

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.
