Having brought up 2 sons as a single mother, and cared for her parents, Jo Moseley decided to welcome in a new adventurous chapter in her life when she entered her 50s. In 2019, she became the first woman to stand-up paddle board coast to coast from Liverpool to Goole, litter picking along the way - 162 miles in total.
She documented the ups and downs of her journey in a beautiful film ‘Brave Enough - A Journey Home to Joy’. Part of her motivation for doing the trip was that she’d lost some of her friends to cancer. Life, she realised, was short and needed to be lived to the max. She has written a book about paddle boarding in Great Britain, and is about to publish a second book about stand-up paddle-boarding in the Lake District .
More recently, she has taken up skateboarding.
‘I’ve always wanted to learn to skateboard. I was growing up in the 70s, my brother had a skateboard but ‘girls didn’t skateboard’. There were no skateparks, nowhere to have a lesson. It just wasn’t seen to be a thing that a girl from the north would do. So skateboarding is the thing where I said ‘you can be a beginner, you can invest in some lessons. The minute I went for that first lesson, I loved it.’
Episode highlights:
- Paddle boarding coast to coast - the plan and the reality.
- ‘For the first time in months, I felt like a warrior and not a worrier’.
- The impact of losing friends - honouring their creativity.
- Going through peri-menopause.
- Becoming brave - taking the next step, and the next step.
- Taking up skate boarding - ‘I love being a beginner’.
