The Joy of SUP - The Paddleboarding Sunshine Podcast

Sharing the joy of stand up paddleboarding. Join us for inspiring conversations with dream guests talking about all the health, happiness, friendship, adventure and possibility that SUP brings to our lives. From world endurance record holders to SUP Yoga, SUP with a Pup to SUP Surf, we will hear uplifting stories and fantastic information to help you on your paddleboarding journey. SUP has given our host, Jo Moseley, so much joy, confidence, courage and community since her first lesson in the Lake District in 2016 recovering from a knee injury. She became the first woman to paddle coast to coast across northern England, fundraising and picking up litter, has been in magazines, on the tv, radio and a guest on many podcasts. The film about her journey called Brave Enough - A Journey Home to Joy was launched to critical and audience acclaim in 2021. She has made two short award winning films about paddleboarding and written many articles. Having experienced such happiness and wellbeing, her goal in launching the podcast is to shine a light on the brilliant stories of others in the paddleboarding community and to share valuable ideas with her audience. It is both a thank you letter to everyone who has inspired, welcomed and encouraged her and a love letter to the wonderful sport. At the heart of the podcast is the idea 'We rise by lifting others' and that's what she is here to do - to welcome, encourage and celebrate you in the paddleboarding community. Whether you are dipping your paddle in the water for the first time, want to explore new places or disciplines, or have years of paddleboarding memories, you are in the right place and this is the podcast for you.

Caroline Williams - Her Book Move! - The New Science of Body Over Mind, Phosphorescence in Arisaig, The Wey Navigation + Watching Otters

February 11, 2022 • Jo Moseley • Season 3 • Episode 4

I am thrilled to welcome Caroline Williams to The Joy of SUP Podcast today.

I first discovered Caroline whilst reading and listening to her book Move! The New Science of Body over Mind and I was fascinated by the research she shared. It seemed to explain why we love to paddleboard and the science behind why it makes us feel so good. When I saw that she enjoyed SUP I was very excited to ask her onto the podcast!

A little bit about Caroline:

Caroline originally planned to be a PE teacher but got sidetracked by science. The author of Move! she is also a science writer, editor and consultant and writer for New Scientist. She has also written for The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph and the BBC amongst others. She is passionate about the potential of movement to transform the way we think and feel and aims to bring the research behind it to as wide an audience as possible. She gets her movement kicks through yoga, paddleboarding and cycling. And when she's not doing that, she's usually walking the dog.

In this episode we talk about:

Caroline's Book - Move - The New Science of Body over Mind
A ‘power pose' on our paddleboards
