IS THIS YOU?

Have you reached a point in your life where you have started to ponder questions such as: Where have I been? Where am I now? Where am I going? Am I happy? If not, what am I going to do about it?

Perhaps you have an empty nest and you’re wondering: what next?

Or your career has stalled, or has lost it’s shine for you and you’d like a change?

Perhaps you have a growing need to use your experience and knowledge to do some good in the world, but don’t know where to start?

Maybe you’re simply feeling a bit down about growing older and need to be inspired.

I'm Jo Blackwell, the Founder of

The Midlife Movement.

I founded The Midlife Movement for women who are fearful of ageing, as I once was. Women who need a little friendly help to see that midlife is not the crisis we are led to believe it is.

Rather, it is a transition to a time of enormous opportunity - if we are willing to embrace the changes in our lives and in ourselves.

We have so much to offer the world – our experience, knowledge, love - and the world needs our commitment and energy.

I am living proof that life after 50 is something to celebrate, not dread. Come over to the About page if you'd like to know more about me.

I can't wait to see what kind of life you are going to create for yourself!

"I loved this book.  It's funny,  brilliantly written and so relatable! A must read for anyone approaching or passing 50 ... It will lift your spirits by looking at the funny side to our changing lives, hormones and bodies and make you realise that there is a lot of positive stuff you can do with all your wisdom and knowledge that comes with age." Annette Watters (Amazon UK Review)

“At 50, I began to know who I was. It was like waking up to myself.” Maya Angelou

"It's great to be part of an inspiring group who believes that there’s a lot of life to live after 50!!!"
