#52. Building Resilience: How Movement Helps Us Face Life’s Challenges with Jess Rad

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.
