ABOUT MADDI

After suffering a massive hemorrhagic stroke in 2017 that nearly took her life and left her completely paralyzed on the left side, Maddi has undergone extensive cognitive, speech, physical, and occupational rehabilitation to recuperate all she had once taken for granted.
As an author, social media content creator, speaker, and world traveler, Maddi is a passionate and vocal advocate for the community, championing the rehabilitation journey by channeling a positive mindset. Obstacles are opportunities, and it is Maddi’s mission to help others dealing with trauma by building community and empowering others to share their stories. Onward!
