Jo Ransome is a Trauma Therapy Practitioner and Transformational Coach whose work is deeply shaped by her own extraordinary lived experience. Having survived childhood sexual abuse, repeated domestic violence, divorce, poverty, and years of carrying unconscious beliefs like “I’m not smart” and “It’s not safe to be seen,” Jo has turned her pain into purpose. Through TRTP - The Richards Trauma Process - she now helps others release long-held trauma, silence self-sabotage, and step fully into a life they deserve. In our conversation, Jo opens up about the journey from internal chaos to internal liberation . We talk about the weight of shame many women carry and how those silent burdens can lead to hiding, shrinking, and playing small. Jo reminds us that you are not a horrible person - you are someone who has survived. Your past does not define your worth. We explore why slowing down matters, why your energy introduces you before you speak, and why learning to sit with yourself is a powerful act of self-leadership. Jo shares her insights on boundaries, self-compassion, and why “hurt people hurt people” - and how we can break those generational patterns.
