Who is Joanne Pagett

Hi, I’m Jo Pagett – founder of Joanne Pagett Coaching, multi-award-winning coach, and passionate advocate for ambitious women ready to rewrite their next chapter.

I know exactly how you feel, because I’ve been there.

After 30 years in high-level corporate leadership and two experiences with burnout, I made the bold decision to walk away following a life-changing event. That shift sparked my mission: to help women reclaim their energy, confidence, and direction, before they hit breaking point.

My own transformation began in my 30s with a focus on wellbeing, but everything changed when I discovered strength training in my 40s. I didn’t fit the typical profile, but I decided age was just a number. I went on to compete as a master’s bodybuilder for 8 years, proving that building serious strength after 40 isn't just possible, it’s transformative.

That experience taught me how to train through hormonal changes, conquer gym intimidation, master nutrition, and break through the limiting beliefs that once held me back. You don’t need to step on stage, but you do deserve to feel powerful, confident, and fully alive.
