Gentle Musings is all about being creatively seen and celebrated in our multiplicity and sweet humanness. Come with me as I weave the micro with the macro and explore how themes of creative gumption, belonging, desire, and fulfillment exist within the idiosyncratic space of everyday culture. Both for you and for me, Gentle Musings is about welcoming the fullness of life again and again—gently. Gentle Musings is a project under the creative studio of Regarding Dew.

I love this!!

Maggy’s voice is so comforting and soothing to listen to. I enjoy hearing her thought process and how she shares what she’s discovered. I found the podcast to be eye opening and very relatable…I’d even catch myself nodding my head to things she said!

A perfect blend - Inspiring and Calming

Gentle Musings is exactly what you need to pause, reflect, reset, and realign with your deepest aspirations. Bringing creativity to the fore and clearing the thoughts that hold us back. It awakens everything you already have inside to achieve your dreams. You’ll walk away with things you didn’t even know you needed. Listen today and you won’t be disappointed.

Such great company ….

Went for an after work week walk with Gentle Musings, and found it just the best company. Maggy is so amazing at creating the most comfortable space for creativity. Sharing so generously and wisely from her own practice, she models excellence, kindness, self-care, and encouragement in abundance. Who doesn’t need more of that in their lives?
