How do you keep going when life throws everything at you at once?In this episode, I speak to award-winning speaker and gender equity advocate Jess Rad about how movement became her secret weapon through some of life’s toughest chapters - from premature menopause and divorce to discovering she’s neurodivergent in her 40s.Jess shares the unexpected power of cold water swimming, why she’s drawn to endurance challenges, and how building physical strength helped restore mental resilience. We also talk about her work with The WomenHood, why we need to open up more conversations around menopause, ADHD and parent carers - and how finding the right support changes everything.It’s an uplifting, honest conversation about strength, self-awareness, and why taking care of ourselves is not a luxury - it’s essential.To find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:⁠The Make Movement Matter Podcast⁠If you enjoy this podcast, please press Follow and Rate and Review.  To support the show and help me to keep making the podcast, please contribute by ⁠Buying Me a Coffee...or Tea! Connect with your host, Wendy, founder of Reclaim Movement, on:⁠Instagram⁠ | ⁠YouTube⁠ | ⁠Website⁠Start to ⁠‘Move more naturally to live better’ with Wendy’s self-paced 5-Day Introductory Online Course by clicking here.
