Join ARHE for an interactive workshop on topics related to transgender inclusivity and accessibility in the addiction recovery space facilitated by Jo Walduck.
Jo Walduck (she/they), PCC/RCP is a British-born recovery, life and business coach living on the coast in Normandy, France. Her journey to and through recovery has involved working on various traumas, learned coping mechanisms and survival roles. After a couple of decades of partying and pretending through Paris and Lyon, she got sober, quit nicotine and then came out as trans in her mid-30s, just before the world exploded into pandemia. Her recovery has navigated some extra large waves alongside her transition, with the illness and death of two of her parents, developing a chronic illness and associated fatigue, and being a recent small-business owner during a global shutdown. She runs an online, diet culture-free recovery support group, and also works 1:1 notably on life and business coaching thematics with women and queer people already in recovery, while accompanying and scaffold-building with those in early recovery from alcohol, nicotine, diet culture, the cis-hetero-patriarchy and some ED/disordered eating. Jo is bilingual and is excited to bring some more recovery concepts (for substances, behaviour and eating) to the French recovery scene. She’s currently working on her first book and is excited to do further studies and work on bringing accessibility and inclusivity to the worlds of wellbeing and recovery.
