As it's the first week of Men's Mental Health Month, Steph was joined by TikTok-er and fitness inspiration Jimmy Reynolds. Jimmy is a sponsored Ghost athlete, professional jump-roper, and all-around incredible human being. Jimmy opens up about the struggles behind the scenes of being an influencer, maintaining a healthy relationship with food, and dealing with online hate. 


Steph and Jimmy discuss:

- Not fitting in growing up (+ Steph's childhood as a lumberjack)

- Codependency with simultaneous lack of effort and presence in a relationship

- Is a poor relationship with food really about the food and body....or control?

- How social media impacts a fitness influencer's mental health

- Dealing with online hate, comments, and bullying

- Making your career your identity and the thought of losing it

- Addictions: are they still adverse, even if they are addictions to good things?

- The weirdest thing Jimmy does when he's alone
