Big Girls Play Goalie w/ Madi Mayfield

Mindfulness coach Madi Mayfield graces the pod in this episode to reflect with Morgan on their tumultuous childhood in Boulder, CO, why they were both asked to play goalie on their soccer teams and the actual phases of the menstrual cycle. Madi is a mindfulness coach in Fort Collins, CO, and hosts workshops for women around the city - from friendship bracelet making to vision boards, your inner child will be screaming with glee at any of her events (Morgan made a friendship bracelet that said fuck at the last one - she's so quirky)
