Jo Blackwell on Confidence, Reinvention & Growing Older with Purpose

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with UK-based author, podcaster, content creator, and midlife advocate Jo Blackwell.

Jo is the author of Ageing Wonderfully Well: The Good News about Midlife and Growing Older and the creator of Midlife & Beyond, where she shares thoughtful and honest conversations about Aging, identity, personal Growth, and the opportunities that come with life’s later chapters.

Through her podcast, newsletter, YouTube channel, and writing, Jo helps women over 50 navigate change, overcome uncertainty, and transform midlife challenges into renewed confidence, purpose, and possibility.

In this inspiring conversation, Jo shares her personal journey of feeling lost in her late forties and how she ultimately reinvented herself by becoming a portrait and brand photographer at age 48. Despite originally dreaming of a career in journalism, she never abandoned her creative ambitions and found a path that allowed her to thrive in a new stage of life.

Today, at 64, Jo is passionate about helping others embrace aging with optimism, authenticity, and self-belief. Her story is a powerful reminder that it is never too late to pursue new dreams, discover purpose, and create meaningful change.

In this interview, we discuss midlife reinvention, aging well, personal growth, women’s empowerment, confidence, identity, career transitions, creativity, resilience, and finding joy in the second half of life.
