Jo Moseley, 58, is a single Mum of two adult sons from North Yorkshire. Alongside her lovely day job, she is also a writer, speaker and podcast host. She describes herself as a joy encourager, beach cleaner and midlife adventurer. After her mother died and experienced a difficult perimenopause that left her feeling very broken and crying in supermarkets, Jo discovered the joy of moving for her physical, emotional and mental health. She hikes, cold water dips all year round and paddleboards. It eases her anxiety and helps her sleep.  A film about her ccoast-to-coast-paddleboarding journey in 2019, called Brave Enough – A Journey Home to Joy has been screened at prestigious film festivals and sold out online events. Her first book Stand Up Paddleboarding in Great Britain – Beautiful Places to Paddleboard in England, Scotland and Wales was shortlisted for the Best Book of the Year in The Great Outdoors Magazine awards.

In this episode Jo talks about how she became the first woman to paddleboard from Liverpool to Goole, picking up litter and fundraising and how that film was made into a critically acclaimed film called Brave Enough – A Journey Home to Joy. She also tells us about writing her book about beautiful places to paddleboard in the UK – the first guide devoted to SUP (stand up paddleboarding) and the SUP community. Jo’s perimenopause was a difficult time, which left her with a lack of sleep and feeling broken, whilst her Mum and Dad were both undergoing chemotherapy. In December 2013 her Mum then died. A friend had suggested she should do some exercise, and she decided to start indoor rowing, which led to paddleboarding.  With her recent inclusion in a list of the 10 most influential women in the SUP, in this motivational podcast, Jo gives fantastic advice to help women and explains how she now feels like a warrior. She reveals that she is one of many postmenopausal women who are shouting from the rooftops that we can feel fantastic and lead the best lives ever.
