Meet the woman behind the movement: Jo StoneÂ
Jo Stone knows burnout from the inside. As a high-achieving exec and mum of two, she built the picture-perfect life, and nearly lost herself in it.
After breaking her own burnout patterns, Jo founded The Balance Institute, where she’s helped thousands of women do the same, creating calm, confidence, and careers that no longer cost them their sanity.
Her work isn’t about rest or routines. It’s about rewiring how ambitious women lead, succeed, and live.
About Jo StoneÂ
Jo Stone knows what it’s like to have the career, the house, the kids - a life that looks great on paper - yet still feel like you're drowning. As a senior exec and mum of two, she kept showing up for everyone else until she couldn’t find herself.
Beneath the polished version was burnout, guilt, and a quiet fear she was disappearing into the noise.
She blew it all up, and built something better.
Today, Jo is the CEO of The Balance Institute, leading a global movement that helps high-achieving women stop sacrificing themselves for success. Her work isn’t about fluff or hustle, it’s about truth, nervous system healing, and finally coming home to who you are.
If you’ve ever whispered “this can’t be it”, you’re in the right place.
