Welcome back to The Midpoint, the podcast where we pause halfway through life’s journey to reflect on the moments that change us. Today’s guest is Olivia Jackson, an elite stuntwoman who has worked on some of the world’s biggest films.


In 2016, Olivia was involved in a serious on-set accident that resulted in the loss of her arm, bringing her career and life to a sudden halt. What followed became a powerful midpoint—one of recovery, resilience, and redefining who she is beyond the work she once knew. Today, we’re pleased to share her story and learn how her incredible resilience has ensured that her life is as fulfilled as before.

There’s a particular kind of energy that comes with the middle of life-a mix of experience, shifting priorities, and a few unexpected physical and mental curveballs. On The Mid•Point with Gabby Logan, broadcaster Gabby Logan leans into that phase with curiosity and frank humour. Each conversation moves beyond the surface, as Gabby sits down with familiar names to unpack their personal midlife stories, from career pivots and family dynamics to the very real changes in health and fitness. This isn’t just anecdotal; the discussions are thoughtfully informed by specialists, whether that’s a nutritionist reframing diet, a sleep scientist, or a doctor explaining hormonal shifts. The result is a podcast that feels like a series of honest, reassuring chats with friends who aren’t afraid to ask the real questions. Listeners will find a space that normalises the complexities of this life stage, offering both relatable stories and tangible takeaways for navigating one’s own midpoint with more clarity and a lot less shame.
