Writer, Lucy Boulter, never considered herself to be "physical". Nor did she have time for hobbies outside work. It wasn't until she was unexpectedly floored by menopausal gloom that she found herself with a new pass time - fell walking in the Lake District of England - that lifted her spirits and increased her fitness. In this frank and honest conversation, Lucy talks to Jo about menopause and mountains and how she walked her way out of depression to a brighter future. Check out Lucy's beautiful instagram feed, "Hills and Happiness".


About the Midlife and Beyond Podcast.  

Like all transitions, midlife can be messy and sad and glorious all at once, leaving many midlife women feeling rather alone and somewhat invisible. But what does this transition we are experiencing lead to?  

I'm Jo Blackwell, a photographer, author and coach for women who want more from their lives post 50, and I'm here to remind you that if we manage our health and embrace it, growing older can lead to one of the greatest periods of growth and transformation of our lives.  

The Midlife Movement was created to change minds about midlife and growing older, one story at a time. Because we only become invisible when when we stop seeing ourselves.  email [email protected] to take part in the podcast or suggest guests.
