Welcome back to But Seriously, the podcast where we explore life's pivotal moments and how the challenges we face can become stepping stones toward authenticity. In today’s episode, Taylor sits down with the insightful and hilarious Maggie Mayer. Maggie’s journey has been anything but ordinary—she’s gone from acting school in LA to working as a nurse in San Diego, with formative years spent in Seattle and Nebraska along the way.
You’ll hear Maggie and Taylor reminisce about wild travel adventures, dive into Maggie’s unique upbringing with politically engaged parents, and discuss how moving across drastically different regions shaped her adaptable, no-nonsense approach to life. Maggie opens up about her career shift into nursing, shares her perspective on the current political climate and its impact on healthcare, and reveals how she copes with trauma both big and small—from heartbreaks and friendship lessons to life on the frontlines during stressful times.
With plenty of laughter, heartfelt honesty, and a bit of spicy storytelling, this episode is a fresh reminder that sometimes, finding yourself means embracing the chaos, setting boundaries, and maybe even dancing it out with good friends. Settle in for a warm, funny, and deeply relatable conversation that proves: life may be serious, but we don’t always have to be.
