## Resource

What if the bigger life you want doesn’t require choosing between adventure, family, creativity, and ambition? Jackie reconnects with bestselling author Jo Piazza to talk about the life and career she has built through travel, journalism, motherhood, podcasting, and 14 published books. Jo takes us behind the scenes of The Parisian Heist , sharing how the overlooked story of Jo van Gogh-Bonger, the woman responsible for helping make Vincent van Gogh a household name, inspired a deeply researched novel spanning art, history, Paris, Amsterdam, and an all-woman heist. Jackie and Jo also explore the power of female friendship, why women should embrace ambition, the importance of choosing a supportive partner, and the freedom to create a life that holds both meaningful work and family. Plus, Jo shares the remarkable family mystery behind The Sicilian Inheritance , her approach to using travel as research, and why the stories of women behind celebrated men deserve to be brought into the light.
