Thanks for joining me for this weeks episode of One For The Road.

This week I'm joined by Author Jenny Valentish.

Jenny is an English journalist who moved to Australia 15 years ago and she also writes books. One of them, Woman of Substances, is an addiction memoir that uses her story of drug and alcohol use as a case study from which to explore the ways women experience mental health, trauma, eating disorders and addiction, interviewing neuroscientists, researchers and clinicians.

Her latest book, Everything Harder Than Everyone Else: Why Some of Us Push Our Bodies to Extremes, riffs on the idea that there is a fine line between hedonism and endurance. Jenny is also a board director of SMART Recovery in Australia, and while she didn't touch alcohol for eight years, she now drinks in what she calls a sensible way.
