Hi, I’m Maggie.

I’m the host of Navigating Between the Lines, a podcast about all the stuff happening in the middle of real life… the friendships that change, the grief that sticks around, motherhood, getting older, figuring out who you are now, and the million little things nobody really prepares you for.

I started the podcast at 39 with a microphone, a computer, and absolutely no idea what I was doing.

Turns out, that was kind of the point.

I wasn’t looking to become an expert on life. I wanted a place to talk honestly about it. The good parts. The hard parts. The ridiculous parts. The things we usually save for the group chat—or think everyone else has figured out.

A year later, I’m 40, still figuring it out, and somehow more sure of myself than I’ve ever been.

Around here, you’ll hear a lot about friendship, motherhood, grief, identity, ambition, starting over, and learning to actually like the life you’re living while you’re still in the middle of building it.

I believe people need people. That catching up isn’t always the same thing as connection. That happiness and sadness can exist at the exact same time. That pivoting is an underrated life skill. And that most of us are doing a hell of a lot better than we give ourselves credit for.

I don’t have all the answers.

But I’m really interested in the conversations.

So that’s what Navigating Between the Lines is: real life, talked about out loud.

And if you’ve ever thought, “Wait, other people feel this way too?”

You’re in the right place.
