Introducing your Host, Jo Blackwell

Introducing your host, Jo Blackwell, Writer, Photographer and the Founder of The Midlife Movement. In this solo episode, Jo recounts her personal journey through the midlife transition and how she became interested in helping other women to find their voice. You can find out more about Jo’s work via her websites: www.themidlifemovement.com and www.joblackwell.co.uk (Writing and Photography) Note: The lines by Henry David Thoreau that Jo (mis)quotes are: “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and die with their song still inside them.” This is, in fact, a misquote itself, though has passed into common usage. About the Midlife and Beyond Podcast.  Like all transitions, midlife can be messy and sad and glorious all at once, leaving many midlife women feeling rather alone and somewhat invisible. But what does this transition we are experiencing lead to?  I'm Jo Blackwell, a photographer, author and coach for women who want more from their lives post 50, and I'm here to remind you that if we manage our health and embrace it, growing older can lead to one of the greatest periods of growth and transformation of our lives.  The Midlife Movement was created to change minds about midlife and growing older, one story at a time. Because we only become invisible when when we stop seeing ourselves.  email [email protected] to take part in the podcast or suggest guests.  See The Midlife & Beyond section of my website for more information and resources to help you navigate change with less stress and more joy! www.joblackwell.co.uk
