TIME TO DO YOUR THING
I’m Maggy — Artist. Writer. Creativity researcher. Devotee of living out loud.
Always sensitive and observant, I used to let self-doubt rule my world. I'd stumble over my words, second-guess everything, get caught in comparison, and gather inspiration all day long while never feeling ready enough. When I tried to share my natural expression without getting caught in insecurity, I was often met with blank stares. Being myself meant feeling like an outsider.
I still get waves of doubt sometimes, wishing I were further along or that confidence came more easily. The difference now is that I never let doubt hold me back from living this life fully. I chose time over money, practiced trust without proof, and stayed stubborn for well over a decade. Now I know: I'm fully on the right path for me.
I'm here for you as you meet fears that are as big as your creative longings.
I've stubbornly made the "impractical" choices and broken the rules I thought I had to follow in order to be successful and accepted, so that I could keep saying yes to my truest life. These day, I run a creative research studio—Regarding Dew—that supports people to experience the wholeness that comes from living creatively. Through creative coaching and group courses, the women I support stop waiting for permission to do their thing. They resolve core fears that kept them frozen in creative resistance for years and start making choices—big and small—that honor their creative self.
My life is devoted to supporting you to avoid the number one regret of the dying: not having the courage to be yourself.
“For most of my adult life, I was in corporate. This was a big part of my identity…there were decades when I didn't even think I was creative because everything else in life took precedence... My inner critic doesn’t hold me back now. I'm TAPPED IN. There's a real sense of wonder in my life that was lost for so long. I was nervous to get a coach because it I thought it was self-indulgent, but I also knew I needed to do this for myself. Maggy helped me to live inside out. That's the only way I can put it!”
Ellen
“I went from believing I couldn’t write, let alone establish a writing habit, to a person who enjoys expressing herself through ‘printed’ words. Because of my work with Maggy, my grandchildren and perhaps others will have the opportunity to know me better through my written stories.”
Gail
“Witnessing others and their vulnerability and process has been so healing and affirming in this process. I have found myself regarding myself in a wholly new way. A refresh. I am regarding myself as an important and creative person.”
Tooya
“I have been completely changed… Maggy's gentle encouragement, complete presence and wholehearted belief in my process has instilled in me the belief that writing is for me, that I deserve to live the creative life I have always wanted, and that it is possible. I have gone from being afraid and deeply resentful of writing (because it was hard, because it was vulnerable, because it was scary) to embracing it as a vocational call, and as something that is an important part of me. It's gone from being a burden to a gift. I never, ever thought that would happen…Working with Maggy has changed my life entirely for the better.”
Réka
“Maggy has created a space that is not only creative but filled with gentle curiosity and endless opportunities for new perspectives. I felt seen, heard, held, and encouraged all within an hour and a half. I left Maggy’s workshop with a renewed lust for writing and sharing!”
Elizabeth
“You’ve cultivated an (in my experience) unmatched sense of safety here, a place that welcomes big emotions within clear and reasonable boundaries + humor when it feels right.”
Growing a Writing Practice participant
“I've learned so much from everyone, how everyone showed up with so much honesty and vulnerability and openness... I found that I was always met with so much kindness. It felt like such a safe space and container to share freely and to be met with kindness and genuine curiosity.
I learned so much from everyone that it's helped me in turn realize that I can show up as myself and it's okay. I get to do that—I get to show up and be myself and be met with so much kindness…
Pivoting Toward Wholeness truly shifted so many fundamental things in how I view myself and the world and the way I live my life.”
Réka
“What I found really interesting was that when we started, I really felt quite unable to write. Now that I think back, I actually made a commitment then to myself, that I wanted to come back to a regular writing practice and... that kind of just happened. I've not made plans. I've not allocated specific times or made a big deal out of it, but it's just happened.
And also lots of other things like reaching out to people, meeting up with people, doing things differently, thinking about things in a different way, sharing work, taking care of myself, even writing differently somehow and... just spontaneously acting on things. I'm daring to be a bit more vulnerable around what I share and that feels quite tremendous.”
Katrin
“Pivoting Toward Wholeness opened up so much more trust in so many different ways and at the core of it is my own self trust.
Part of the reason I'm feeling this deeper trust is that I've actually made the time and commitment to come every time and was miraculously able to do it. I feel gratitude for everyone prioritizing this because it helped me take myself and this more seriously too.”
Tooya
“I felt really comfortable sharing and a sweet sense of belonging. It felt like there was room for everyone. I was touched by how everyone showed up and how present everyone was.”
Tooya
“The biggest thing I've learned is that I can literally do anything because most of the things that I need to do consist of very small actions. The stakes are never that high for pretty much anything that I want to do. I decided that nothing stops me.”
