Jordan Chiles recently appeared on the 'Jennifer Hudson Show,' where she spoke about her experience of writing her memoir. She revealed that it was a challenging process for her as she had to revisit all the traumatic experiences and the hard times she had faced in her life while writing them:

“It was honestly a very crazy time frame to even write a book. I have to revisit these traumas but then I started to realize the more I talk about my trauma, the more that I can let it be in the past. And I just felt, I can finally just live my life with my past in the past.”

“I don't have to keep reliving it because it's on paper; it's something people get to understand and understand who Jordan's story is and so it was a really cool experience at the same time because I did go through all of this but look at me now, I'm standing here being the person that I am.”

The foreword of Chiles' new book is written by her teammate and best friend, Simone Biles.
