Today’s guest describes herself as a “natural born leg jiggler” so y’all KNOW she’s a kindred spirit.
Jenny Valentish might alternatively be called a stunt journalist, a human guinea pig or a professional amateur - such is her wont to put her mind and body in the firing line for a story. She is the author of books including Woman of Substances: A Journey into Addiction and Treatment; and Everything Harder Than Everyone Else: Why Some of Us Push Our Bodies to Extremes.
We cover a LOT of topics in this episode including discipline, addiction, sobriety, her career as a writer and memoirist, trauma, telling our stories, putting her body on the line for a story, bodybuilding, ADHD, self-worth, body image, the importance of movement, mental health, being “too much” [spoiler alert: you’re not], creativity, finding productive outlets to manage and release energy and restlessness, hyperfocus and more.
