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.

Pressing Play with Persia Lawson What 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? This week I'm joined by someone I've wanted to have on the podcast for a very long time. Persia Lawson is one of the UK's leading relationship experts, bestselling author of Love Is Coming , speaker and television relationship coach. But this conversation goes far beyond dating. Together we talk about grief, resilience, perimenopause, beliefs, intuition, relationships, ageing, self-worth and why life is far too precious to spend waiting for permission to fully live it. 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. In this episode Why your beliefs shape far more than your relationships. The hidden stories we carry about love, ageing and what's possible. Why your intuition deserves to be listened to. The importance of bringing magic into difficult seasons of life. The mindset shift that changes everything: choosing your story.

We Weren't Meant to Do Midlife Alone Last 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 episode Why 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.

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 failing The science behind water retention, weight shifts, hair and skin changes — and what's actually driving them How childhood messages, magazine culture and decades of shifting fashion standards quietly built your belief soundtrack about your body The "mirror fallacy" how constant self-checking trains your brain to find fault, not confidence Jo's three holiday body rules The 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.

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 Fiddy Jo Fiddy is a Speaker and Menopause Coaching Specialist who has been through menopause twice once in her thirties and now navigating perimenopause.

About this episode Are you snapping at the people you love and then spending an hour in a shame spiral wondering what is wrong with you? You’re not alone, and nothing is wrong with you. Peri-rage is one of the most under discussed symptoms of perimenopause, and the one women tell Jo they feel most ashamed of. In this episode, host Jo Fiddy goes deep on the anger that feels like it comes from nowhere: why it happens, what’s going on in your brain and body, and how to stop it from unravelling your sense of who you are. Jo has been featured in Top Santé on this topic and runs workshops on peri-rage. This episode is the honest, science-led conversation she wishes every woman in perimenopause could hear. What is included • Why peri-rage feels like it arrives from nowhere and where it actually comes from • The hormonal science: what Estrogen and progesterone have to do with your fuse getting shorter • The shame spiral that follows the rage and why it keeps women stuck • How your Belief Soundtrack™ gets amplified in perimenopause and turns up the volume on the anger • Why the unravelling is not the end of you it’s part of the pivot • What to do when you feel yourself losing control practical first steps Key takeaway “Your rage is not a character flaw. It’s a chemistry shift and a signal that something inside you needs to be heard.” Work with Jo If peri-rage, the anger, or the unravelling is part of your story right now, Jo would love to have a conversation with you. The Perimenopausal Pivot is Jo’s 1:1 work for women who are ready to stop white-knuckling their way through perimenopause and start feeling genuinely alive again. Visit jofiddy.com to find out more.

In this solo episode host Jo Fiddy explores Witchtok, how women in their 40s and 50s gathering and reclaiming the words we were taught to fear.

Jo Fiddy is joined by Mala Moonbeam — beauty influencer, motivational speaker for a conversation about midlife beauty, confidence, and what it actually takes to enjoy your face in your forties and fifties and beyond. Mala's philosophy is Makeup Your Face, Makeup Your Mind™ . In this episode, she shares her Mirror Time Method™ — a gorgeous daily practice that changes how women in midlife see themselves. The conversation moves from skincare myths and ingredients to confidence, reinvention, and the inner work that midlife beauty really begins with. In this episode The Mirror Time Method™ — Mala's daily ritual for confidence Why youth culture is failing midlife women Skincare myths, ingredient transparency, and the instant-results trap Botox, fillers and tweakments — the honest conversation Rapid Tapping® for confidence and self-image in perimenopause Reinvention without losing yourself The non-negotiables — Mala's beauty essentials for midlife Three takeaways Look in the mirror differently. The way you talk to yourself while getting ready becomes the way you walk into the day. Read the label. If you don't understand what's in your skincare, it's probably not doing what it claims. Confidence is built from the inside out. Tapping, mindset, and small daily choices compound.

In this Stress Awareness Month edition of Pressing Play, host Jo Fiddy unpacks the stress trap of perimenopause: the part no one warned you about. The shrinking tolerance. The thinning sleep. The cortisol that lands harder than it used to. The anxiety that seems to come from nowhere. Spoiler: nothing is wrong with you. Your brain is literally rewiring. Jo walks you through what’s actually happening in the hippocampus and amygdala as Estrogen fluctuates, why cortisol hits differently in midlife, and how to work with the renovation instead of fighting it. Then she gives you 5 ways to support yourself including Tapping (as seen by Emily in the Devil Wears Prada 2) — practical, doable, and rooted in both science and soul. This is perimenopause support for midlife women who are done being told it’s “just stress” or “just ageing.” It’s neither. It’s a hormonal transition that deserves real understanding. In this episode: • Why perimenopause anxiety is a brain event, not just a hormone event • Why cortisol lands harder in midlife (and what that means for stress, sleep, and mood swings) • 5 evidence-informed ways to support yourself: sleep, exercise, nutrition, community, and play • Why dopamine through play isn’t optional — it’s neurological maintenance for women over 40 • Embracing the Power Years on the other side of the renovation About Jo Fiddy A Menopause Coaching Specialist who blends science with soul, anf works with women who’ve hit an invisible pause button in perimenopause and are questioning whether their best years are behind them. Through her Menoplaying® approach, Jo helps them regulate their energy, rebuild their confidence, and step into a powerful next chapter. The 90s have made a comeback and now it's your turn.

In this episode, Jo Fiddy reframes the midlife narrative completely because what you’re experiencing isn’t a breakdown, it’s a biological and identity upgrade that’s been centuries in the making. Welcome to your Queenager era. Let’s be honest. The stories we’ve been told about midlife are awful. Brain fog. Hormonal chaos. Losing your edge. The cultural script says you’re on the way down. This episode is your permission to throw that script out entirely. In today’s solo episode, I’m talking about why midlife isn’t a crisis it’s a coronation. Why everything that feels like it’s falling apart is actually falling into place.
