Meet Maddy Schofield

Some stories carry a weight that can’t be seen from the outside, and Maddy’s is definitely one of them. What she’s lived through isn’t fiction, though it may read like something unimaginable. Her journey is marked by deep loss, addiction, survival, and the kind of strength that’s earned one day at a time. In sharing her truth, Maddy offers a powerful testament to what it means to choose healing in the face of heartbreak. This is her story. A story of grief, of resilience, and of finally finding the courage to become who she was always meant to be.

Trigger warning: death, suicide.

Meet James Check.

Some stories aren’t told all at once, they’re lived in chapters, in setbacks, in the quiet rebuilding of a life that keeps falling apart. This is one of those stories. Behind the calm presence of a massage therapist who brings healing into others' homes is a man who’s had to fight—again and again—for his own. Through traumatic injuries, invisible illnesses, and a medical system that failed him more than once, he kept going. This is a story of perseverance, of unseen pain, of the love that held him up, and why he now shows up for others, one healing touch at a time.

Meet Hope.

Hope opens up about the kind of pain that doesn’t just come from one moment, but from years of loss, betrayal, and pressure to keep going anyway. In her words, you’ll hear what it’s like to feel broken while the world keeps moving, to carry silent insecurities even in healthy relationships, and to finally reach the moment where asking for help becomes the bravest thing you can do.

Meet Michael Betteridge.
He’s the founder of Queer Fit Club, a space rooted in movement, healing, and radical belonging. His story is one of courage, disconnection, and reclaiming identity after years of being told it didn’t belong. It’s honest, layered, and a reminder that when we stop performing, we start becoming.
