Let Your Life Flow helps women who are tired of being angry, anxious, sad or stuck to release high-intensity emotions and blocks using proven energy psychology techniques.

Jo Lou Spleth is a long-time entrepreneur and former corporate manager whose experience with the stress of owning and running a business, as well as going through the common life trials of divorce, parenthood and grief, led her to pursue a spiritual path as strongly as her career path.

Her first-hand experience of burning out in her corporate role literally pushed her to develop a stress management course for business professionals. Then she added a number of energy psychology techniques to get to the real root of most stress — energetic baggage and limiting subconscious beliefs. She’s worked with dozens of professional women to clear the true driving force holding them back from enjoying business and personal success.

She specializes in experiences around partner stress, such as divorce and problematic business relationships; anxiety at home and in the workplace; healing deep grief, and overcoming feelings of being stuck towards reaching a goal. Today, she also focuses on the general fear and anxiety arising from the current global public health crisis and how that exacerbates all the usual stresses facing people.

Jo Lou also runs a successful software company, SilverWind, and coaches business teams on embracing the changes that come from introducing a new technology to the workforce or eliminating the blocks that individuals face when going after an ambitious new business goal.

She is an active single mom of a very busy high school son, a musician, avid hiker, and optimistic backyard gardener.
