In January, when everything feels very January, I start craving a reset. 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. It’s a conversation about how places carry seasons, people, and pieces of who we were — and how sometimes the greatest gift of travel is the clarity we come home with.

In this New Year “Lifestyle Edition,” Maggie explores the real emotional energy of January — the tension between motivation, exhaustion, and finding your rhythm again. Instead of chasing resolutions, she focuses on the everyday habits and choices that shape how we actually live: presence over pressure, routines that support peace, and building a lifestyle that fits the season you’re in. From walking & red-light therapy to digital boundaries, cozy rituals, aging, motherhood, and forward-motion without reinvention, this episode is honest, grounding, and deeply relatable.

In this Christmas Week episode of Navigating Between the Lines, Maggie Feil reflects on the conversations she had — and overheard — during one of the busiest, most emotionally loaded weeks of the year. From exhausted moms in Target, to the pressure to do more and be more, to the quiet grief that can sit just beneath the surface in December, this episode is a reminder that a lot of us are carrying more than we let on.

Maggie talks about mental load, comparison, simplifying the season, and giving yourself permission to opt out of what doesn’t feel good — all while holding space for joy, tradition, and perspective shifts that bring us back to what really matters.

The episode ends with a special guest: Maggie’s nine-year-old daughter, Chloe, who shares her thoughts on Christmas, kindness, giving, and what the season is really about — followed by a rapid-fire Q&A that turned into one of Maggie’s favorite recording moments to date.

A Christmas episode about slowing down, being human, and remembering that it’s not about what you’re doing — it’s about who you’re with.

Everyone talks about building the dream. No one talks about what happens next.

In this episode, Maggie Feil shares her business story—the one that didn’t happen overnight and didn’t follow a straight line. From opening a bridal store at 22, navigating debt, growth, and seven-figure success, to becoming a wife, a mother, and eventually facing profound grief, this is an honest look at how building a business also builds a person.

Maggie reflects on the early years of survival, the seasons of growth, and the moment everything shifted after losing her mom. 

This episode is about ambition, resilience, and the courage it takes to evolve. A reminder that some chapters end because they did exactly what they were meant to do.

In this episode, I sit down with Rhiannon Bosse of Rhiannon Bosse Celebrations. Working with her personally and professionally from my sons first birthday to a 10 year anniversary party, Rhi has quietly been behind some of the biggest moments of my adult life. But today’s conversation goes far beyond beautiful events.

We talk about the early days of her career, starting a blog in 2009, building a business from nothing, and what it was like growing alongside the rise of Instagram before algorithms ruled everything. We dive into reinvention, walking away from wedding planning, redefining success, and learning that “a no now isn’t a no forever.” Rhi opens up about the emotional journey of becoming a mother of three, the quiet years of trying for her third baby, and the peace she’s found in this slower, more grounded season of life.

We also talk candidly about the pressures of social media, influencer culture, creativity in the wedding world, what people misunderstand about the industry, and the weight planners quietly carry behind the scenes. This episode is about evolution, boundaries, motherhood, success, quiet seasons, and learning to trust the ordinary moments.

If you’re in a season of redefining your life, your career, or simply learning how to be present for what’s right in front of you, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Navigating Between the Lines, I sit down with my friend Kristy Wright to talk about the real, behind-the-scenes version of her story. We get into her journey through IVF, what those newborn twin days were actually like, and how she went from the corporate world to running multiple Pump House locations.

We also talk about the hard stuff — losing her dad, navigating grief while still trying to show up for her family, and what it looks like to ask for help when you’re used to doing everything yourself.

Kristy opens up about the lessons she’s learned along the way,  the 'letting it go' of balance, and the parts of entrepreneurship that bring her the most joy. It’s honest, emotional, and such a relatable conversation for us all.
