* Warning- Laughter- do not try this at home*
Jo Ghastly’s expertise comes from being a self- proclaimed “Cool Mum”
Jo has created a life coaching/ personal development empire- on every social media platform, including Tik Tok and has books, Youtube channel and merch
Her empire is much less successful than she thinks it is

Move over Nigel Latta, Jo Ghastly is bringing her world-class parenting seminar to Christchurch to help you become the coolest of cool parents (seriously, she on TikTok so you know she's got the credentials!).
Don't have any kids of your own? Don't worry, Jo will be teaching you how to unlock the inner cool potential of your own parents (and maybe validate your choice to never have children...).
The show is recommended R13- mild adult themes
