The Courage to Begin Before You're Ready

Guest: Tif Bryant

What if you did not need to feel ready to begin? Jo sits down with two-time founder and mentor Tif Bryant to explore the courage it takes to take that first step, even when doubt and fear are telling you to wait.

From homelessness as a child to dropping out of high school at 14, from building a doula practice supporting 6,000 families to securing a UK Innovator Visa, Tif's story is proof that action creates confidence.

If you are waiting for the right time, this conversation will change how you think about starting.

Resilience Isn't About Being Unbreakable

Guest: Basma Al Kakoun

Fitness and lifestyle coach and international speaker Basma Al Kakoun joins Jo to explore what resilience really means once the pressure to "hold it all together" falls away. Basma shares her journey from a conservative upbringing to public speaking champion, the life-changing impact of her son's muscular dystrophy and autism diagnoses, and how she learned that real resilience means pausing, asking for help and choosing one small, aligned action at a time.

Are You Living or Just Existing? Robbie Calvo on Purpose

Guest: Robbie Calvo

Raw, honest and deeply thought-provoking. Jo sits down with guitarist, educator and lifelong artist Robbie Calvo.

Robbie shares the reality behind career-ending injuries, financial collapse and rebuilding his life from nothing, more than once.

More than anything, this conversation is about purpose. About creativity as a way of engaging with life, and how adversity so often reveals the purpose we have been searching for.

A conversation that challenges us to stop sleepwalking through life and reconnect with what really matters.

The Courage to Lead Through Uncertainty | Jude Jennison on Boldness, Reinvention & Trusting Yourself

Guest: Jude Jennison

Jo is joined by leadership coach, bestselling author and Founder of Leaders by Nature, Jude Jennison.

After leaving a successful corporate career, Jude chose a very different path built around purpose, leadership and learning from nature. From buying an equestrian centre to driving a tuktuk 1,200km across India with 33 female founders, her story shows that courage does not come from certainty, it comes from taking the next step.

Together, Jo and Jude explore reinvention, trust, and the environments that limit or expand what we believe is possible.

When the Pivot Chooses You: Dylan's Story

Guest: Dylan

This episode is a little different, and one that will stay with you. Jo sits down with her friend Dylan, who is living with Motor Neurone Disease.

While most episodes explore the pivots we choose, this one explores what happens when life takes a direction we never expected. With honesty, warmth and moments of humour, Dylan shares life before his diagnosis and what the journey has been like since.

More than anything, this conversation is about perspective. About what really matters, how we show up each day, and the quiet courage that exists even in the hardest moments.

Our Pivots: From Property to Purpose

Guest: Sarah Stenton

Jo introduces herself as a friend, survivor and self-confessed rock star, then dives into how Sarah's Middle Age Madness was born from menopause frustration.

Sarah shares life before her pivot: running an estate agency and losing sight of herself, until COVID, business stress and her husband's blood clot changed everything. Jo also opens up about her 10-mile run, brain hemorrhage, and when her body said no.

They talk about clarity after a forced stop, becoming your own biggest cheerleader, and how menopause can strip away the noise and help you step into what Sarah calls cronehood. Life finally feels calm, fabulous and exactly where they are meant to be.

Some fun facts about me...

Yoga at heart – When I’m not working, I’m on my mat, simply being rather than doing. It’s my way of finding calm and reconnecting, which I bring into my work with others.

Author at heart – During my brain haemorrhage recovery, I wrote a novel inspired by a true family story. Writing at this time became a lifeline.

Midnight laughter – I’ve been told I laugh in my sleep and wake myself (and my husband!) up. No idea why — but maybe it’s life’s way of reminding me to find joy, even in rest.

Sunglasses a must – Since my brain haemorrhage, my eyes are sensitive to light, so you’ll usually see me wearing my signature sunglasses — a necessity and a reminder of how far I’ve come.
