Navigating Between The Lines

Send us Fan MailHow did taking care of ourselves become so complicated?One minute we're talking about sleep. The next we're comparing magnesium supplements, cortisol levels, protein intake, fasting schedules, blood work, weighted vests, and whatever health trend showed up on Instagram this week.Somewhere along the way, health became another thing many of us feel like we need to get right.This week, I'm talking about sleep, stress, aging, grief, wellness trends, and the pressure to optimize everything, especially our health. Because I don't think most of us are actually chasing perfect routines. I think we're chasing energy, confidence, peace, and a life we're excited to wake up and live.A conversation about feeling good, trusting yourself, and remembering to enjoy your life while you're busy trying to improve it.Would love to hear from you! Support the show

Send us Fan MailSchool is out, the summer calendar is full, and lately I can't stop thinking about one thing.. What is it that we miss so much about summer?This week I'm talking about 90s summers, Camp Nowhere, baseball games, childhood memories, and why I think we're living in what I like to call the golden ages right now.The years we'll miss someday.I also share a story about my mom, raising kids, and the realization that while we're busy managing schedules, camps, snacks, and sunscreen, our kids are simply remembering how summer felt.Maybe the magic was never in perfect summers. Maybe it was just being fully there for them.Follow AlongSupport the show

Send us Fan MailThis week on Navigating Between the Lines, Maggie sits down with OB-GYN Dr. Sara DeNolf for the women’s health conversation that usually happens in group chats, late night Google searches, or quietly in our own heads.They get into pregnancy, miscarriage, fertility, postpartum recovery, painful periods, hormones, birth control, aging, and the pressure women constantly put on themselves to “do it all.” But beyond the medical side, this episode is really about normalizing the things women carry silently every day.It’s honest, funny, emotional, and full of the conversations more women need to hear out loud.Questions women secretly Google at 2am? Yeah… they covered those too.Message Me! Support the show

Send us Fan MailThis week on Navigating Between the Lines, Maggie talks about adult friendships, emotional safety, and why some people feel easy to be around... while others leave you overthinking every interaction afterward. From follow up texts and random phone calls to friendships built in complete chaos, this episode is about the difference between simply catching up and actually feeling connected. A conversation about weird energy, millennial friendships, grief, growth, voice memos, nervous systems, and the people who still feel like home when life gets loud.Follow AlongSupport the show

Send us Fan MailWe'll spend months researching strollers and preschool waitlist, but avoid having actual plans in place for our families.This week I sat down with Matt Eilers from Medalist Wealth Management and we talked about estate planning, saving for kids, life insurance, trusts, college funds, raising financially responsible kids, and all the stuff nobody really walks you through as a parent.But this is NOT one of those intimidating finance conversations.It’s practical. Real. Easy to understand. And somehow also made me immediately realize I need to update my own paperwork.We also talked about: — why families fight after someone passes — what happens when there’s no plan — teaching kids about money — whether parents should buy their kids cars — one spender child vs one saver child — why starting early matters more than starting big — and why women NEED to understand family finances tooEvery parent should tune into this one!

Send us Fan MailThis week feels like a lot… and if you’re a mom, you already know why.School events, sports, work, birthdays, the invisible mental load… and somehow we’re also supposed to slow down and “enjoy it.”I sat down with someone I know to talk about what motherhood actually feels like right now. Jessica James, a mom of three, full time career, and someone who looks like she has it all together.We got into: the mental tabs that never close  mom guilt (even when you did everything right)  middle school, phones, and the pressure that comes with it  trying to be present while also doing everything and how grief and motherhood can exist at the same time This is one of those conversations that feels like a coffee catch-up… but also the kind that makes you feel less alone in your own life. https://www.instagram.com/navigatingbetweenthelines/Support the show

Send us Fan MailThis week didn’t go as planned and that’s exactly the point.In this episode, I’m talking about pivoting. The small, everyday kind and the bigger life shifts we don’t always see coming. What happens when the plan falls apart? When something throws off your week? When life doesn’t go the way you expected?We’re getting into bounce back time, letting go of control, and why your ability to adjust might matter more than your ability to plan.Plus answering a few of your questions on grief, connection, and what a really good day looks like right now.If things feel a little off right now, like your plan isn’t really… planning... This one’s for you.Support the show

Send us Fan MailMother’s Day is supposed to be simple. Flowers, brunch, cards. But for a lot of us, it’s not.In this episode, I’m talking about the version of Mother’s Day we don’t always say out loud.. the one that holds gratitude & grief at the same time. The one where you can feel so lucky to be a mom while missing your own. Or longing to become one. Or navigating relationships that don’t look the way you thought they would.I’m sharing what this day feels like for me, almost four years after losing my mom, while raising my own kids and standing somewhere in the middle of both.We’re also getting honest about expectations, the invisible load moms carry, and what we actually want from this day (hint: it’s not managing everyone else).If you’ve ever felt a mix of emotions around Mother’s Day—this one’s for you.And if it makes you think of someone… send it to them.https://www.instagram.com/navigatingbetweenthelinesSupport the show

Send us Fan MailIf you’ve ever gone to bed thinking you were completely fine only to find yourself spiraling in the middle of the night, this episode will hit.In this episode, Maggie talks about the kind of anxiety that doesn’t show up during the day, the overthinking, second-guessing, and quiet spirals that seem to hit the second everything slows down.We talk about why anxiety feels louder at night, the pressure to be “fine” during the day, and what it really looks like to navigate those in-between moments when your mind won’t turn off.This isn’t a how-to or a fix. It’s a real, honest conversation about what it feels like to live it and a reminder that if your brain has ever gone there… you’re not the only one.https://www.instagram.com/navigatingbetweenthelinesSupport the show

Send us Fan MailThis week is… a little bit of everything.Spring break is coming up, life feels full, and I’m in that very real space of holding excitement and heaviness at the same time—planning a trip while also saying goodbye to my 91-year-old grandma.So we’re keeping it lighter today… consider this your official yap session.We’re talking spring break energy, what we’re watching right now, the internet doing what it does best, and the version of us that packs for vacation… versus what actually happens.Chloe joins me for a very real, very unfiltered conversation including packing habits, vacation personalities, family time, and the stuff that ends up mattering way more than you expect.Nothing groundbreaking. Nothing life-changing.Just real life… happening all at once.Because it doesn’t really slow down for the good or the hard, you’re usually just in the middle of both, figuring it out as you go. https://www.instagram.com/navigatingbetweenthelines/Support the show

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Navigating Between the Lines, Maggie sits down with Kasie Smith, owner of Serendipity Media and founder of West Michigan Woman, for a conversation that goes far beyond the highlight reel.From building a multi-brand media company over two decades to navigating the uncertainty of COVID when most of her business disappeared almost overnight, Kasie shares what it really looks like to keep going when everything shifts.This conversation dives into the parts of success people don’t usually talk about,  the fear, the pivots, the identity tied to your work, and the moments where you quietly wonder if you can keep doing it.They also talk about motherhood, leadership, the reality of balance, and the power of women supporting women in business and community.If you’ve ever felt like you’re figuring things out as you go… this episode will remind you that you’re not alone.Because most of the time, the real story is happening in the in-between.https://westmichiganwoman.com/https://www.instagram.com/navigatingbetweenthelines/Support the show

Send us Fan MailThere are certain places you keep going back to and every time, they feel a little different.In this episode of Navigating Between the Lines, I’m taking you through Chicago, but not as a travel guide. More like a timeline. The same city, but through completely different versions of me.From a 17-year-old on a graduation trip…to girls’ weekends and bachelorette memories…to becoming a mom, building a business, and now watching my daughter create her own memories in the same place.Because sometimes it’s not really about the place, it’s about who you were when you were there and who you’re becoming when you go back.We talk about:how places hold different versions of youthe quiet evolution of friendships, motherhood, and identityblending work and life in a way that shapes your kids’ experiencesand what it really means to be present in the moments you’ll one day missIf you’ve ever had a place that feels like a time capsule of your life… this one will hit.

Send us Fan MailFriendship breakups are one of the most painful parts of adulthood — and somehow we barely talk about them.In this episode of Navigating Between the Lines, Maggie reflects on why friendships can be so meaningful… and why it hurts so deeply when they change.From growing up and drifting apart to the quiet disappointment of relationships that slowly fade, this conversation explores what it means to hold gratitude for what a friendship was while accepting that it may no longer be part of your life today.https://www.instagram.com/navigatingbetweenthelines/Support the show

Send us Fan MailI sat down to record this week and realized I didn’t really have a “topic.” But sometimes the most honest conversations come from just talking about what life actually feels like lately.In this episode, I’m sharing a real-life catch-up — from closet cleanouts and girls’ dinners to getting Chloe ready for the Daddy Daughter dance. That moment unexpectedly cracked open the grief I still carry for my mom and reminded me how much the people in our lives shape the moments we’re living.We talk about:• watching your kids grow up faster than you expected • the quiet moments that hit harder than the big milestones • why friendships matter so much in these seasons of life • the internet rabbit holes everyone seems to be talking about lately • and something I’m still figuring out at 39 - learning to stop second-guessing myself.Because most of life isn’t the big highlight moments.It’s the in-between.The car rides. The kitchen messes. The random Tuesday nights that somehow hold everything.If life has felt a little full, a little emotional, or a little “in between” lately, this episode is for you.https://www.instagram.com/navigatingbetweenthelines/Support the show

Together, Maggie and Gina reflect on entrepreneurship without a rulebook, the invisible mental load of owning a business, and why freedom—not hustle—is the truest definition of success.This episode is about resilience, grace, and learning to ask for help.

They talk headaches, irritability, sleep and vivid dreams, the mental game of hunger vs. habit, and the very real post-fast cravings that no one puts on Instagram.Then, as a bonus, they dig into the GLP-1 conversation — the stigma, the “food noise” everyone talks about, side effects, what happens when you stop, and why Heather used it as a tool to reset her habits — not a magic fix.No perfection. No preaching.

And for me, that reset usually looks like a trip — not because of the destination, but because of what certain places hold.In this episode, I’m sharing the trips that shaped different versions of me: family spring breaks that stacked memories, returning to places that hold grief, an off-the-grid Alaska adventure with my dad that changed me, couples trips that reminded me who we are together, girls trips that refill my cup, and the comfort of going home when life feels like too much.This isn’t a travel guide.
