“I work as a psychologist, author, and art playgroundist, who loves listening to and highlighting the beauty in people. I do all of this colorfully, with how I dress (I’m a clothing influencer/ambassador too) and how I illustrate my books (I have another colorful personal growth book releasing early November 2022 called “The Relationship Book: A Soulful, Transformational, and Artistic Inventory of Your Connective Life”) and how I LIVE.”

Rosa is the founder of Connecting YOU, an Entrepreneur, Coach, Speaker, and co-author of a book called Thought Leaders, Visionaries, and Influencers.
Her mission is to see the world connected by heart and spirit. Why? She believes that we are all already connected spiritually, but somehow along the way, have forgotten that, and run around becoming self-sufficient and independent, in becoming a success. Now we must un-do that and become a more integrated society.

Again, those are the things that draw me toward hiking, the life metaphors.
In life, sometimes we will walk alone, other times we will walk with others. We will have uphill climbs and we will have some downhill slopes. Sometimes our path with be a little rough and other times it is going to be smooth and flat. We may get some sunshine; we may get clouds and rain. Sometimes we are going to have to navigate through the dark. There will be times where we can pick up the pace and make good time and there are going to other times that we must slow down and carefully watch where we are stepping in order to not trip or lose our balance. There are going to be times when we feel tired and weak and times when we are strong and vibrant. We need to recognize when we need to take a break and when to push through. But regardless of what our path throws at us, we just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward.

Maggie is one of the singer/songwriters that we saw perform at the Philadelphia Folk Festival back in August.
She is a soulful singer-songwriter based in Philadelphia who fronts an exciting and energetic Folk/Funk group under the same name. She pulls inspiration from the music she grew up on and the strong musical foundation her family built, along with the ever-evolving world of music around her to carve out a sound all her own. Combining genuine, heartfelt lyrics with catchy, cutting guitar riffs, her songs can either touch your soul or make you want to get up and dance. She has been described as “poppy, polished, talented, & promising,” by XPN’s The Key’s John Vettese.
Originally hailing from Northern New Jersey, Maggie has always had music in her life. Her parents met in college and formed a bluegrass band called ‘The Wild Oats,’ and later performed throughout New Jersey with various traditional Irish bands. Her father instilled a love for ‘all things string’ from a very young age, and her mother always encouraged her to write and sing. With a Steinway Grand piano in her living room, and fiddles, penny whistles, hand drums, dulcimers, harps, mandolins, banjos, and guitars littered throughout her childhood home, Maggie has managed to pick up and write with just about any stringed instrument she can find. Growing up, she was always attending folk & bluegrass festivals, making sure she was up front for favorites like Martin Sexton, Dar Williams, Vance Gilbert, and Railroad Earth. Rock and Blues legends including Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Allmann Brothers, and Bonnie Raitt were always on heavy rotation in her house. During her time attaining an Associate’s Degree in Music Performance, Maggie cultivated a love and appreciation for classical, jazz, funk, world, and jam music, and deepened her knowledge of jazz and bluegrass standards. She also fell deeply in love with one-man-band greats Michael Hedges and Keller Williams, leading her to discover and navigate the world of percussive guitar and loop pedals and effects. She puts all of this together to inspire, and continuously develop, the sound she creates today.
