Tough Girl Podcast

Jessie’s lifelong outdoor odyssey began with Duke of Edinburgh walks in the Peak District.    This segued into long hill hikes in the Yorkshire Dales, multi-day treks in the Lake District, scrambles in North Wales and adventures scaling alpine pinnacles.    When not walking, she can be found rock climbing, wild swimming, cycling, photographing, filmmaking, writing and modelling.    Jessie in her own words:   “It’s so so important to be championing a greater diversity of voices and lenses that show a different narrative on the world.”   “For me, trad climbing helps me slow everything down. When I have deadlines on, worrying about where my next job comes through or trying to give my head a bit of space, I find nothing helps concentrate me more than heading to my local crag and putting all the mind chatter in a box. Being on the sharp end and taking a deep breath, committing to the move above my gear - that is what gives me energy”     New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at
