About Maggie

I’ve always struggled to put myself into a box - from choosing hobbies as a kid to picking a niche as an “influencer”, to my career walking a thin line between and across strategy, creative and communications. i’ve always been at my best when my interests and passions are intersecting, and as a result, i wear many hats: i’m a writer, photographer, storyteller, strategist.

as a writer, I’ve been looking for a platform that allows me to create longer form writing more freely and honestly – away from the pressure of changing algorithms, diminishing attention spans, and relying on sponsors for content creation to be sustainable on top of my full time job. My longer-form personal writing, obsessively researched travel guides, and curated recommendations have always been the bread and butter of my internet presence and creative work, and what I personally do best.

REGARDLESS OF THE PLATFORM, MY MISSION DOESN’T CHANGE:
TO TELL STORIES THAT CELEBRATE A PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE, AND EMPOWER OTHERS TO MAKE THE MOST OF THEIR OWN.

THE BIG PICTURE:

early bird will be all the coffee with maggie content you’ve come to know and love from me, but more directly, more vulnerably, and more intentionally. I take your time and your trust so seriously, and am so looking forward to a platform where we can share and connect in a more meaningful way. I’m so glad you’re here.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

WEEKLY NEWSLETTERS: Coming in hot with weekly newsletters, always including obsessively curated recommendations, articles and experiences. Always curated with you in mind, and inviting you to pause, reflect, learn, connect, or laugh. 

FULL ACCESS TO THE EARLY BIRD ARCHIVE: Y’all may or may not know this but I have literal YEARS worth of posts that never made it out into the world. Travel guides, personal essays, you name it. I’ve been working hard to update them all to load up the archive and ensure y’all have access to all the goodness! 

EXCLUSIVE BONUS ARTICLES, PERSONAL ESSAYS & RECIPES: More is more, bonus edition: My sunday issues include new articles, personal essays, recipes, interviews, spotify playlists, you name it. Always curated with you in mind, and inviting you to pause, reflect, connect, or bring joy. 

FOREVER ACCESS: Paid subscribers will have access to the full article archive. Even if you signed up for a membership after launch, you’re good to go. The party don’t start till you walk in.
