🟠 Adam on LinkedIn, Maggie on Substack, and where we intersect
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, As we move into the fall season, Adam is doubling down on LinkedIn with SAF Digital, and I’ve launched my new newsletter, Learning to Listen on Substack. And while we’re building in our own lanes, there are still plenty of intersections where our paths overlap. Here’s a quick update: From Maggie Thanks to so many of you who’ve already joined me on Substack! Where I'm creating space for high-performing women to tune inward, truly listen to their Inner Voice, and...
🟠 Big Announcement: Maggie started a Substack!
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, This past week I launched a new Substack Newsletter called,"Learning to Listen with Maggie Pounds." What is Substack? Substack is a creator-centered platform that blends the best of blogging and email newsletters. It’s simple, direct, and lets me share with you in a more personal way. It’s also a great way to host both a newsletter and a community in one place! Why Substack now? After my tiny Virtual Live Yoga experiment, the next step was to launch a Fall...
🟠 Best book to give a parent
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, With school just around the corner, I’ve been thinking about learning and growth. In both the world of education and the school of life, we tend to focus on skills, milestones, and achievements. But what if the most important growth is learning to see the world differently? This pause, right before the school year begins, feels like the perfect moment to reflect on parenting. "I give all my friends with children this book, as a reminder of what matters when...
🟠 Sales wasn't the problem. This was.
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, I used to hate the idea of sales. And when you choose entrepreneurship, that becomes a bit of a problem. Because sales?It’s a huge part of it. But here’s what I’ve realized: It wasn’t the sharing I was afraid of.It wasn’t the offering. It was setting a price.It was charging actual money. The quiet vulnerability of saying: this is worth paying for. During my recent experiment with the Virtual Live Yoga Summer Series, I felt something shift. Teaching the classes...
🟠 We've been building this for 11 years
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, Eleven years ago, Adam and I got married barefoot in the botanical gardens of Key West, surrounded by a small group of friends we’d made over nine months of living there. We showed up with no jobs and no long-term place to stay, just a dream of building a life that wasn’t boring. We had no roadmap, but we did have a shared sense that life was meant to be lived fully. And we wanted to build that life...together. Here we are eleven years later. Still committed to...

🟠 Why we're ditching GOALS and doing THIS instead
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with GOALS. There’s a voice in my head that says:“You should be more goal-oriented. That’s how people succeed, right?” But every time I try to set big, concrete goals, I end up either feeling drained or like I’ve failed. When I do hit a goal it's usually because I've pushed myself the whole way, trying to prove something to some perfectionist version of myself. Other times, I don’t hit the goal and I feel like I’ve let...
🟠 Turning "have to" into "get to"
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, Soon after our daughter was born last September, I posted something on Facebook that hit home for a lot of people: We have to go to soccer practice.We have to make dinner, clean up, do the dishes, and fold the mountain of laundry. What if all we did was change the have to’s into get to’s?" We get to go to soccer practice.We get to make dinner.We get to do the dishes.We get to fold the laundry. It's just a small shift in words.But it completely changes the...
🟠 Different seasons = different ways of showing up
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, The last few weeks, I’ve been picking greens from my in-laws’ garden and shopping at our local farmers market. Summer produce always reminds me of the beauty of seasons. How different times of life invite different ways of showing up. It’s a nudge to pay attention. To bring awareness to our choices. To ask whether we’re acting on autopilot,doing what we think we should,OR making decisions rooted in our own clarity and inner knowing. It’s so easy to look outside...
🟠 A bigger life = allowing open loops & discomfort
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, When Adam got back from biking across Kansas with Arlo,he was feelin’ it. That post-trip overwhelm. The kind where you re-enter life and suddenly all the to-dos come rushing in. He said something we’ve both said a dozen times in business: “I just feel like there are so many open loops I need to close.” We’ve used that phrase before, especially when trying to tie up client communication or clear a task list at the end of a long week. There’s real satisfaction in...
