Thanks so much for sharing more of this. I've been following you since the early mountain range runs, but the honesty about your health is, to my mind, at least as inspirational. I'm in an analogous position - having had to take nearly 5 years away from the mountains for reasons connected with mental health, trauma and exhaustion (I've had an eating disorder as well, but that's a decade in the past). I'm finally, I think, reaching the stage where I'll be able to try a something big again this summer, and it feels like I may be on the cusp of getting my life back. (I've been writing about that across at 'Beyond The Mountain', if you're interested.) Really glad you're feeling able to share more of this. It really helps change the messages.
Thank you for sharing this. I do hope it inspires others who are suffering in similar ways. I am so happy to hear you are better! Looking forward to reading about your fabulous adventures in the coming years! Keep at it!
Very cool to see you here, Jenny, and such important words to get started with. I'm certain you will find an interested and supportive crowd here on Substack ... we have found it to be welcoming and encouraging. As ever, your writing is excellent; such incredible insights to a world of physical endeavour most of us just imagine. The honesty and openness about your health is amazing ... so generous for everyone who will use it to unlock a recognition of the importance of their own wellbeing. Anyhoo, welcome. I have 'Solo' on my list for '24 Books for 2024'. I can't wait to re-read it.
Beautifully written Jenny and I can relate to so much of this. It can feel like an impossible task to love our bodies and I too have had to reinvent myself if you will to get to a healthy place ❤️ I’m grateful you took the time to share so vulnerably.
Wow. Thank you for sharing your honest and inspiring journey. You've lit an adventure fire in my belly and I'm so glad you can get back the life you love ❤️
