Curiosity, Freedom, and Building Life on Your Terms with Maddy Garrett

Episode 8 · Maddy Garrett

About this episode

Join host Anthony Mistretta for an energizing conversation with Maddy Garrett — an entrepreneur, UGC creator and coach, and adventurer who's built a life around intentionality, curiosity, and refusing to accept 'normal.' From growing up in conservative Orange County as a straight-A student to deconstructing her religious upbringing and quitting her nine-to-five without a backup plan, Maddy shares her journey of discovering who she truly is beneath all the rules and expectations. This honest episode explores the power of changing your external reality, why meeting new people is the antidote to feeling stuck, and how money wounds from religious and capitalist conditioning keep us playing small. Maddy opens up about her tumultuous relationship with passive income, the danger of overthinking instead of living, and why curiosity without fear is the key to unlocking your intuition. Whether discussing part-time van life, working from Mexican resorts, or why competition is a patriarchal lie we don't need anymore, this conversation celebrates living authentically, traveling slowly, and building businesses that prioritize connection over productivity.
