185: Maddie Staff on finding out she was adopted, & surviving two abusive relationships (Part 1)

Maddie Staff lives on a station on the NT/WA border, and in this first part of her story, she opens up about losing her mother from breast cancer when she was just 18 months old, then years later finding out she was adopted. You'll hear what happened when she met her birth mother, plus how she found her birth father and slid into his DMs on Facebook. Maddie has also navigated two very toxic relationships, one that involved a miscarriage, and she also shares how she turned to alcohol to cope when she hit rock bottom.  There is so much more, but for now, here's part one with Maddie staff. Part 2 will be released next week!
