5 Highlights from the Podcast
In this deeply insightful and heartfelt conversation, Jo Green, Master Coach, hypnotherapist, and IFS practitioner, shares her personal journey into coaching and the powerful philosophy that underpins her work today.
Jo speaks candidly about anxiety, nervous system regulation, inner freedom, and why coaching — when done with curiosity and compassion — can be truly life-changing.

Jo’s journey began through her own lived experience of anxiety, depression, and feeling disconnected, despite living what looked like a “dream life” from the outside. Her personal healing became the catalyst for her work as a coach.
Through corporate coaching roles, life and health coaching, hypnotherapy, and eventually Internal Family Systems (IFS), Jo shifted from a life driven by fear and survival into one grounded in balance, self-trust, and authenticity.
One of Jo’s core beliefs and lived truths is that clients already hold their own answers. Coaching, for Jo, is about walking alongside people and helping them reconnect to their inner wisdom, not fixing or rescuing.
Jo beautifully explains IFS as a way of understanding and working with the different “parts” of ourselves, with the reminder that there are no bad parts. Through curiosity and compassion, we can move from being parts-led to self-led.
Mastery, for Jo, is not an endpoint; it’s an ongoing commitment to learning, self-reflection, and alignment. She encourages coaches to define success on their own terms, rather than chasing hustle culture or comparison.

This episode is a powerful reminder that coaching is not just about techniques, it’s about embodiment, inner freedom, and the courage to truly know yourself.
