    S2 E1 Pressing Play on the Invisible Pause

    Welcome back to The Pressing Play Podcast Season Two 🎧We’re back, my loves. And Season Two feels different. This season, I want us to go deeper. I’ll be bringing you extraordinary guests, honest conversations, science, tapping, perimenopause and plenty of Press Play energy all with one purpose: helping more women stop putting themselves on pause. In this first episode back, I’m talking about something that has been on my mind all summer: The Invisible Pause. It’s that place you can find yourself in during perimenopause where, from the outside, life is still happening. You’re working. Parenting. Showing up. Getting things done. But underneath? You’re exhausted. You’re snapping over things that never used to bother you. You’re crying in the car and then putting your sunglasses on and carrying on. You walk into a room and forget why you’re there. Your confidence has taken a knock. You start questioning yourself. And sometimes, almost without noticing it, you begin making yourself smaller. You stop going for things. You think, Should I even bother? That’s The Invisible Pause. In this episode, I’m exploring why I believe perimenopause can turn the volume up on the beliefs, patterns and stories we’ve been carrying for years, including what we’ve been taught about women, ageing, worth and what this chapter of life is supposed to look like. We’re experiencing it inside a culture that has spent generations telling women what ageing should mean. And I want us to challenge that. I also share why HRT can be life-changing , it has been for me, but why supporting our minds, beliefs and nervous systems matters too. Also in this episode…I’m sharing a little of what happened at Latitude Festival this summer (the energy was OFF THE SCALE), plus a huge pinch-me moment: I’ll be taking to the stage at Pause Live in London on 10th October, bringing the Healing Power of Tapping to the UK’s largest women’s health event. And I have two pairs of Pause Live tickets to give away! Head over to my Instagram to find the competition and enter: Instagram: @jofiddy_ Feeling your own Invisible Pause?If something in this episode made you think, Oh God, that’s me, I’m opening up my 90-minute 1:1 perimenopause coaching sessions. Bring me the one thing that’s keeping you awake, the decision you keep circling, the anger, overwhelm or loss of confidence you can’t seem to shift. Together, we’ll calm the noise, explore what’s really running underneath and start moving you from The Invisible Pause → Pressing Play.

    Ep16 Pressing Play with Persia Lawson -Finding Love, Choosing Joy & Bringing the Magic

    Pressing Play with Persia LawsonWhat if the secret to navigating midlife, relationships and life's hardest moments isn't waiting for everything to feel okay… …but choosing to bring the magic anyway?

Persia shares, with incredible honesty, the difficult season she and her family are currently navigating, and the mindset that is helping her move through it one day at a time. It's about remembering how to stay open to life. It's about choosing possibility over resignation. And it's about pressing play even when life feels uncertain.

    Ep15 Pressing Play on We Weren't Meant to do Midlife Alone

    We Weren't Meant to Do Midlife AloneLast week, for the very first time, I missed an episode of The Pressing Play Podcast. The reason? I was in London attending two incredible events. I went expecting to learn, but what I wasn't expecting was how I would feel afterwards. I came home calmer. Lighter. More energised. It reminded me that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for our wellbeing isn't adding another supplement, another podcast or another thing to our to-do list. Sometimes, it's simply saying yes to connection. In this episode, I explore the fascinating science behind why being physically together changes how we think, feel and regulate our nervous systems. We look at why perimenopause can become one of the loneliest seasons of a woman's life, how stress and fluctuating hormones can amplify that feeling, and why gathering with other women may be exactly what our brains and bodies have been designed to do. In this episodeWhy connection is more than a nice idea—it's powerful support for your nervous system.The science of collective effervescence and why shared experiences leave us feeling more alive.Why online communities help us find our people, but real-life connection deepens those relationships.How perimenopause can increase feelings of stress, anxiety and isolation.What anthropology teaches us about why women have always gathered together.Simple ways to create a more connected summer.

    Ep14 Pressing Play on Body Confidence in Perimenopause This Summer

    Welcome back to the Pressing Play Podcast. In this solo episode, Jo dives into one of the topics women ask her about most, body confidence in perimenopause, and why it gets even harder to navigate when summer rolls around. If you've ever stood in front of the mirror before a holiday and felt your stomach drop, this one is for you. Jo unpacks why your body is changing, where the beliefs about how it "should" look actually came from, and why the way out isn't about shrinking yourself it's about feeling more and looking less. In this episode she covers: Why body changes in perimenopause are a hormonal reality, not a personal failingThe science behind water retention, weight shifts, hair and skin changes — and what's actually driving themHow childhood messages, magazine culture and decades of shifting fashion standards quietly built your belief soundtrack about your bodyThe "mirror fallacy" how constant self-checking trains your brain to find fault, not confidenceJo's three holiday body rulesThe ripple effect of body confidence — and how it changes the way you experience your whole summer, not just how you look in it If this episode moved something in you, if you're done not liking your body for the next half of your life get in touch and work with Jo.

    Ep13 Pressing Play on Yourself: Permission was yours all along

    Welcome back to The Pressing Play Podcast.   What happens when you finally give yourself permission to pause  and actually feel alive because of it? In this solo episode, I’m recording from a balcony overlooking the mountains and lake in Bavaria, on my first ever solo getaway in eight years of living there. And the questions it's brought up are ones, I  suspect you might be sitting with too.   This one is for every woman who has quietly learned to put herself at the bottom of the list. Who has been responsible, available, accommodating  and is now wondering why she feels so flat, disconnected, and stuck. Especially when perimenopause arrives and makes all of that even more exhausting.   Pressing play doesn't have to be a huge reinvention. Sometimes it's a night away. A slow coffee. A walk. Listening to your own thoughts. This episode is an invitation to do exactly that.   In this episode, I explore:•       Why so many women learn to pause themselves and why perimenopause is the wake-up call that starts to change that •       The people-pleaser neurons that perimenopause begins to dissolve  and why that's actually brilliant •       What happens in your brain and body when you do press play •       Why we wait for permission that was ours to give all along •       Five journal questions to help you press play right now   About Jo FiddyJo Fiddy is a Speaker and Menopause Coaching Specialist who has been through menopause twice once in her thirties and now navigating perimenopause.
