32 almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. @annelamott
11 Doing a little self-caring and taking a mini mentor break. If anyone needs a pep-talk all podcasts are available on @spotify and the monthly mentor membership is always open too! See you in July!
35 **new podcast** Today’s pep talk is about friends! Making friends at any age can be confusing and although I feel really lucky with my #girlgang now, it wasn’t always the case! In this episode, I share my own friendship story and the tools to create fulfilling relationships. 🔗 in bio!⁣ ⁣ Also this is a picture of my best friend from college who I wasn’t actually close with until senior year so if you’re looking for more bff’s you don’t have make all your friends freshman year!
20 Everyone needs support particularly during transition (and ESPECIALLY in freshman year of college). It's why I created the Monthly Mentor Membership so that no matter what your schedule, price, or life is like, if you want some sister-ing it's available to you. Every month you'll get a podcast, meditation, self-care share, and journal exercise all related to a college theme. This month is: "You're in College Now What?" while July is about how to set up your dorm the self-care way. I've had the best time creating these for you!! 🔗 in bio.
25 peer adjacent advice aka your friends are going through the same things you are, so they might not be able to see a situation/ have the experience to offer guidance. This is why mentor advice is important even if you have a great #girlgang. Sometimes you need perspective from someone who is not only outside of your inner friendship circle, but who has been there before and reached the other side. Want some support? Mentor deets in bio link! Also get the video? ** @hannah.c.wise and I are lying a d j a c e n t to each other!**
19 I once heard my friend @erinrdoppelt say, "If you want to know about a person and how they treat themselves, pay attention to how they feed themselves." ⁣ ⁣ At the time, this made me feel really exposed because I had to look at how I didn't make eating a priority. I am a snack queen. My ideal food situation is french fries or a sleeve of Oreos (looking at you @lizz_henrich). When I'm eating by myself, I never cook and never take more than 10 minutes to eat. Erin's statement really made me think. I value myself enough to take time to actually nourish myself so I knew I had to make some food changes even if it still includes a lot of snacks. ⁣ ⁣ Today's podcast pep-talk is on the myth of the Freshman 15 and how it relates to nourishing yourself. There are so many changes that happen in college including how/what you eat. What if we thought about food relating to self-care? Enjoy today's episode! Link in bio! ❤️
60 Today is my birthday and my mom has a tradition where on her birthday she gives US presents. I don't totally get it, but I'm into it, so I wanted to pass along to you guys. In honor of being born, I'm giving away 3 monthly memberships and 1 mentor session. You see it. You like it. You want it. You got it. DM me for the goods!! 📸 by @maja_bee.
30 In dance if you’re in a @tcambs piece we do a thing called paper plate awards, where you get a person at the beginning of the season and at the end you give them an award you make up. ⁣ ⁣ This season @lexxybabes gave me the “My Personal Cheerleader” award and it basically was the best compliment I could’ve ever received. ⁣Alexa talked about how she, @spellybean, and I would commute back to Hoboken and how she appreciated our life chats! ⁣ Who knew a little paper plate could make me feel so much! Everyone needs someone in their corner! We all need support. Who is a cheerleader in your life?
12 Leaving for college requires support. ⁣ ⁣ It's why orientation exists. It's why there are packing lists. It's why you have a resident assistant. ⁣ ⁣ It's also why having a mentor can change the whole college game. I created the Monthly Mentor Membership to make the college transition easier. Every month members get access to a monthly pep talk podcast , meditations, self-care tips, journal exercises, and more. The pic above is all of June’s content. Link in bio for all the goods!
58 I had SEVERAL people tell me a story over the last few days that included “so then I remembered what you said and I [insert vulnerable, but good thing].” So I’m feeling like this week is pretty much a win. 📸 by @maja_bee ⁣ ⁣ ———————— ⁣ Wanna chat it out? All links for all things in bio including some mentor freebies!
13 This week's pep talk! ⁣ ⁣ When I would come home from college for the summer, I would be so excited to spend time with my family, sleep in my own bed, and hang out with my dog, but what I did NOT see coming was the loss of freedom adjusting I had to do AND that as I grew up, my mom and dad would have to evolve as parents too! So today I am talking about it all. This episode is on surviving summer, balancing your school self with your home self, and what to do if you feel you've outgrown things! 🔗 in bio and @spotify.
38 Guys! Today is big for Maggie Inc. I'm announcing my Monthly Mentor Membership for College Freshmen and even though I'm being all perfection-y and nervous, I’ve worked on this for months and really love it! ⁣ Freshman year is a huge transition and my intention with the membership is to be a support resource during this big time of growth. Each month has a new theme related to the college experience. We’re talking getting through orientation, what to pack, living with roommates, making friends, handling stress, dating on a college campus, and more! You'll get: ⁣ ⁣ A monthly pep-talk: where I coach on a different aspect of #college. It's like my podcast, but longer and more tailored. ⁣ ⁣ monthly meditations: guided relaxations that go with the monthly theme⁣ ⁣ self-care share (THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART): is a “what’s Maggie loving,” for self-care tips, an instagram-able mantra, and a chance to ask questions⁣ ⁣ journal exercise: for some self-reflection⁣ ⁣ Link in bio to check out the membership! Let me know what you think! 📸 by @maja_bee
