Maddison Sullivan-Thorpe on the toughest year of her life

Maddison Sullivan-Thorpe on the toughest year of her life

Inherited · 2025-07-21

Hello!



We’re back from our break, and bringing you a very special interview with Shameless Media’s Style-ish Podcast co-host, Maddison Sullivan-Thorpe.



Maddie is a ball of light – hilarious, driven, and undeniably resilient. However, three years ago, she was faced with the toughest period of her life: a long-term relationship breakdown, and six rounds of IVF.



In this conversation, Maddie opens up about her battle with infertility, the way it altered her relationship with her body, and the sadness she feels when she looks back at her 23-year-old self.
