After 28 years on air, Yorkshire radio legend JoJo Kelly swapped early mornings and microphones for the Welsh mountains — and a brand new chapter.

In this laugh-out-loud and deeply relatable chat, JoJo opens up about her accidental start in radio (thanks to a guy in a dress and a nightclub), the confidence it took to survive male-dominated breakfast shows, and why she’s now embracing the unknown with open arms.

From her days at Kiss 105 and Galaxy FM to her recent move to rural Wales, JoJo’s story is a masterclass in joy, resilience, and reinvention.

You’ll hear:

• 🎧 How a night out led to a 28-year radio career

• 🧠 How menopause and confidence shifts made her re-evaluate everything
• 🔄 The courage it takes to start again after decades in one career
• 🌄 Why she swapped city lights for mountain life (and how she’s adjusting!)
• 🎭 Her dream to finally chase the acting career she put on hold

Whether you’re standing at a crossroads or just craving proof that it’s never too late to pivot, this episode will leave you laughing, nodding, and maybe planning your own wild next chapter.
