Ep. 10: "A Balance of Skating and Health" - Skating's place in mental health (ft. Maddie Eaton)

Join Ashleigh and Trey in episode 8 of Eskate from Reality! We're so excited to introduce you to our *virtual* guest star this week, Maddie Eaton (@punkygirlsk8s). In this episode, we discuss how skating helps us balance our physical and mental health. Maddie explains her battle with a skin excoriation disorder (a disorder related to OCD that causes someone to habitually pick at their skin). With such a disorder, her physical appearance changed and her insecurity made it hard to be in public without questioning judgment. However, with skating in her life, she was able to come out about her battle and show her true color behind the scars. As always, good brunch!
