Jo explains what peri- menopause is and the affects that it can have on women, she shares her own experience; as Jo was approaching 50, to battle the anxiety and depression that came with her peri menopause, she started a blog and began writing about her "mid-life crisis" Jo found an audience who connected with what she had to say, and now she has written a whole book sharing her thoughts and emotions on everything from, her marriage, turning 50 and losing a part of her identity when her last child left home. 

Jo says she is "on a mission to change attitudes to ageing” showing women there is an amazing life post 50!
