May Is a Lot (And So Is Motherhood Right Now)

The Golden Ages

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1780456/fan_mail/new] School 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.

Questions Women Secretly Google at 2AM - With Dr. Sara DeNolf

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1780456/fan_mail/new] This 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.

The Difference Between Catching Up & Real Connection

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1780456/fan_mail/new] This 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.

Estate Planning Sounds Boring... Until It’s Your Family - With Matt Eilers

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1780456/fan_mail/new] We'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 [https://medalistwealth.com/] 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 too Every parent should tune into this one!

May Is a Lot (And So Is Motherhood Right Now)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1780456/fan_mail/new] This 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/ [https://www.instagram.com/navigatingbetweenthelines/] Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/nbtl]
