About the Midlife and Beyond Podcast.
Like all transitions, midlife can be messy & sad & glorious all at once, leaving many midlife women feeling rather alone & 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 we stop seeing ourselves.
