Ep. 440 Good Girls Gossip– A Conversation with Tova Leigh

PLEASE NOTE this episode was recorded before Jenny's surgery. On today’s episode of Just Jenny, I’m joined by the always fabulous Tova Leigh—creator, storyteller, performer, truth-teller, and now, author of the brand-new book Good Girls Gossip. Tova has built a global community by saying the quiet parts out loud, and in her latest book, she invites us into a deeper conversation about the stories we tell ourselves—and each other—as women. We talk about how gossip isn’t always a dirty word, how vulnerability builds connection, and how speaking honestly can be a radical act of self-liberation. Tova shares the inspiration behind Good Girls Gossip, what she learned from the women who contributed to it, and why the so-called “good girl” persona can be both protective and limiting. We also dive into motherhood, marriage, friendship, shame, and the power of sharing your truth—even when your voice shakes. This episode is honest, raw, funny, and deeply validating. You’ll walk away feeling seen, heard, and maybe even a little braver. ✨ Listen now and don’t forget to grab your copy of Good Girls Gossip – available wherever books are sold.
