“Eleven years, I thought my career was over 20 times and something would always happen, whether it be something small like my mom texting me to keep going or a friend saying, ‘We believe in you,’ or myself just trying to find some motivation,” Maggi said. “ … It’s crazy. I’ve been crying all day. It’s been crazy. It’s crazy to think about.”
