30 Just Doing It And Living The Dream With Jo Moseley

A return visit from the amazing Jo Moseley. Since we spoke in Season 1, Jo has completed a North of England coast to coast stand-up paddle board challenge, becoming the only woman ever to have done this at the tender age of 54. I’m so inspired by this woman and I know you’ll love catching up with her adventures.
We talk about:
How Jo doesn’t consider herself a sporty person but loves to move
How she set herself the challenge of stand-up paddle-boarding from Liverpool to Goole, 162 miles across the country
How she ended up paddle-boarding at the Chelsea Flower Show and the fun she had there
The importance of not taking yourself too seriously
Being open to possibility
Feeling the fear and doing it anyway
Living a simple but brave life
Envisaging a future version of ourselves and wondering what they would do or say
How Jo trained for such a big challenge
How she used visualization and self talk to inspire herself to keep going
The importance of believing in yourself
How telling everyone what she was going to do helped her actually do it
How adrenaline carried her through the atrocious weather
Picking up litter as she paddle-boarded
Making friends online
Finding help in unexpected places
Inter-generational understanding and friendship- millenials and midlifers
The gift of learning from younger people
Moving beyond being fearful of life
The importance of making the very most of life
How the death of friends focuses the mind on how short and precious life is
Being grateful for having the chance to try these big challenges
Moving on from a time when just getting out of bed was hard
Being recognized having been on the telly
Wanting to share her story to help other women feel better
