The Girl
Hi I’m Maggie Klein
A brand consultant-turned-blogger doing my best to heal from the past, soak up the present and prep for the future while also prepping dinner every now and again that doesn’t come from a box.
Becoming a mom brought me great joy, but it also brought me to my knees.
As a lifelong pleaser, prover and dare I say it, perfectionist, the messy magic of motherhood became the catalyst I needed to:
un-become the me the world wanted me to be
become the me I want and need to be
love the real me and help my kids skip step 1.
I’m still working on all three, and after nearly 20 years of being paid to tell others’ stories (including a brief stint as a stay-at-home-mom), I’ve decided to start telling my own. I’ve surrendered to the truth that I can’t, nor do I need, to do it all, and only when I do what I love, am I able to love.
The Blog
Moon & Magpie is my blog…an outlet to hone my craft as a writer, curb my crazy and hopefully help others feel a little less so. It’s a healthy, albeit scary, way for me to continue my journey of learning to love myself and be seen as myself.
It’s not my attempt to prove my influence or worth, posture myself as any type of expert (well, except for maybe curly hair), or get rich. It’s a place to share my truth, thoughts and favorite finds in hopes they help you get a step closer to finding your own.
The Biz
While most of my laptop time is spent writing and sharing as myself these days, I still take on a few clients when I fall in love with their brand, art or idea, or when I get a low balance alert from my bank. Because let’s be real, three kids and therapy, both retail and talk, ain’t cheap.
She does consulting too?
Sweet! Sign me up!
