Jenny Kavanagh - Behind the masks

Livin' In Stereo

Show Notes

Jenny Kavanagh has spent much of her life in roles, on stage, on screen, in movement, and in strength. An actress, stunt performer, writer, voiceover artist and Pilates teacher, she understands intimately what it means to be seen, performed, and perceived.

But this conversation goes beyond the roles we play publicly, into the quieter reckoning of who we are when the masks start to fall away.

Jenny speaks with such vulnerability and honesty about identity, discipline, creativity, and the long arc of self-trust, including her journey of living alcohol-free for over 10 years. Not as a headline, but as a foundation: the choice that changed how she relates to herself, her body, her work, and the world.

This is a conversation about presence over performance, truth over approval, and the courage it takes to meet yourself without props and to love, who have been, who you are and who you will become.

A nuanced, human episode about strength, self-awareness, and learning how to live, not just appear, fully. It’s a pleasure to introduce you to the Jenny behind the masks, prepare to fall in love. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Freedom has a sound. Sometimes it’s a song. Sometimes it’s the hum of family life. Sometimes it’s the roar of the sea or the silence, thirty metres below its surface. And sometimes, it’s simply the space to feel without judgment.

Some people study the mind. Maria Ryan listens to it, through the rhythm of the heart and the whispers of the soul. She has devoted her life to hearing the smallest, quietest, sometimes nearly invisible voices…the ones the world so often talks over.
