My guest on today’s episode of Period Story is Jess Bolton, the opposable thumbs behind Worried Whippet, a social media platform that is a celebration of everyday bravery through the eyes of a small dog.
In this episode, Jess shares:
- The symptoms and experience that led to her seeking out an ADHD diagnosis
- What the ADHD tax is and how it has affected her
- How she’s been able to use her diagnosis to positively benefit her business and the way she works
- Why she made an Instagram account for her dog and the amazing opportunities that have come from this
- How talking about her dog’s anxiety has led others to have conversations about their own mental health
- Why she focused on bravery in her first book Worried Whippet: Inspiration to be Brave
- Her new podcast Brave Little Podcast
- And of course, the story of her first period
Jess says whatever's weighing on you, whatever feelings you're contending with, they're probably a completely appropriate response to whatever's happening around you. And the best thing you can do is find somebody you trust or somebody with authority and talk to them about it.
Thank you, Jess!
