Joining us this week is one of British television’s most loved and consistently brilliant actors. From No Angels to EastEnders, Ackley Bridge to Stay Close, she’s become a mainstay on our screens — and now she’s back with a gripping new drama. It’s the wonderful Jo Joyner!

In this conversation, Jo looks back on the defining chapters of her life, from the heartbreak of fertility struggles to the joy of becoming a mum to twins through IVF. She shares the instinctive decision that led to her pregnancy, the happiness she’s found in family life, and why she wishes she’d appreciated her body more in her younger years.She also opens up about navigating surgical menopause, the new ways she’s showing up for herself — including a transformative solo retreat — and how she’s learning to embrace this next chapter of life. Plus, she's also got stories from the set of Little Disasters, what it’s like working with a dream team of brilliant women, and why she’s embracing midlife entirely on her own terms. Enjoy!

Little Disasters is available to stream now on Paramount+.
