Maddy Stewart on powerlifting and thriving with mental illness

Valkyrie Garage

Maddy Stewart, aka One Rep Mads, uses strength training to help her flourish while living with mental illness. I love her sweetness, her boundless enthusiasm for the bench press, her boyfriend, her dogs, overalls, and pretty much everything. As a lifter on the cusp of the Millennial and Gen Z generations, she shares what it means to navigate social media and its perils. If you know someone living with obsessive compulsive disorder, this could be a helpful episode to share. And if you just want to smile and know that whatever is going on in the world, an excitable Canadian is up there somewhere giggling and lifting heavy things, follow @onerepmads.
