Shownotes

In this episode of Her Kind of Brave, Chloe and Kellie sit down with Maddie Burton, founder of Your Bliss, who shares the story of calling off her wedding just days before it was meant to happen.

At 21, Maddie had moved her entire life to the US to be with her fiancé, only to discover he had been unfaithful throughout their relationship. She opens up about the decision to walk away, the shame of starting over, and the unexpected moments that helped her find her way back home.

The conversation also explores Maddie’s journey with chronic illness, including her diagnosis of endometriosis, PCOS, and Graves’ disease. She shares the reality of living with invisible illness, navigating hospitalisation and heart complications, and balancing her health alongside building a business.

Maddie also takes us behind the scenes of creating Your Bliss — a low-tox perfume brand born out of her own health challenges — and the mindset shifts required to back herself, go all in, and grow something meaningful without a traditional background.

Guest Bio: Maddie Burton is the founder of Your Bliss, a low-tox perfume brand created to support women looking for cleaner alternatives in their everyday routines.

After being diagnosed with endometriosis and PCOS, Maddie began exploring the impact of products on her health — which ultimately led her to create a business built from personal necessity.

More recently, Maddie has also been navigating Graves’ disease, sharing her experience of chronic illness, hospitalisation, and recovery with honesty and openness online.

Through her story, Maddie offers a powerful example of resilience — showing that even in the face of heartbreak and ongoing health challenges, it’s possible to rebuild, create, and live a life that feels aligned.
