In this unforgettable episode of The MADcast Podcast, Producer, Russ, and Bigg Dave sit down with the incredible Mae — that’s M-A-E — to dive into her powerful and inspiring journey. But Mae’s story doesn’t start in the gym. It begins with a wild and unique youth, teen pregnancy, and the hustle of working various jobs as a single mother after a failed relationship. She opens up about navigating life, rediscovering love, entering motherhood again later in life, and how she finally found CrossFit — a community and lifestyle that’s helped shape her into the strong, independent, badass mother, wife, and all-around cool chick she is today.

We also explore Mae’s love for music, sports, and fitness, and things take a twist when we uncover her past battle with breast cancer — a topic we wish we’d spent more time on — and a hilarious segment about her “secret” love affair with The Warden.

This episode is raw, real, and full of laughs. Don’t miss it.
