Madalyn speaks about growing up as a dancer, feeling that she looked different from everyone else. She describes her struggles with comparison, especially when being compared to her sister. Madalyn talks about PCOS, weight fluctuations, chronic pain, and injuries. We discuss the “shoulds” in our life, particularly the ones about how much and which foods we eat. Finally, Madalyn tells us about her newest activity, rock climbing, and the joy she’s found in the community and the sport itself.
