Maddy Jones has lived a life of movement—both on the mats and across state lines.

She takes us through the COVID lockdown era, where she earned her purple belt in a house, and the pivotal decision to leave her gym, her city, and a long-term relationship behind for a fresh start in California.   Now in recovery from hip surgery, Maddy shares how ice baths, mindset shifts, and goal setting have helped her reshape her life. Is she settling into stability, or is she still searching for the next adventure? Tune in to find out!
