Episode Synopsis

British Columbia, Canada born and based film & TV stunt woman, stunt coordinator, film director, graphic novel writer & producer, wife of one, and mother of two … Maja Aro has had to learn how to balance! She and her fellow stunt actor husband have handled life’s curveballs from devastating lows of a house fire to exhilarating highs of raising two young sons together. Balancing work and home for this family meant installing a gym in the living room, complete with a trampoline, to incorporate the kids AND have super fun quality time. Maja has also worked hard to re-define what a female stunt coordinator/working mom looks like and “be the change” to make this the new norm. You need to hear how this action inspired Netflix to produce a whole series! Be inspired by this #WomanOfFirsts to find your own equilibrium and effect change.Maja’s Favourite album: Appetite for Destruction by Guns ‘n RosesWebsite: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2857057/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maja.stacesmithInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amazone.graphicnovel/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/majaarostunts/
