Jo Blackwell is a writer, podcaster and creator of the Midlife & Beyond community.
She writes and speaks about the emotional, cultural and practical realities of ageing, with a particular focus on women over 50.
Through her work, Jo explores a quieter, more hopeful perspective on midlife and beyond, one that challenges fear-based narratives and makes space for confidence, clarity and self-acceptance to emerge over time.
Her approach blends lived experience, research and shared wisdom from other women, offering thoughtful reflections rather than quick fixes.
She is the author of Ageing Wonderfully Well: The Good News About Midlife and Growing Older, and shares weekly essays, videos and conversations across Substack and YouTube.
She lives in the heart of England with her husband of over 40 years, and is a mother, grandmother, and lifelong observer of the stories we tell ourselves about who we are becoming.
