Kansas City has a way of inspiring fierce loyalty, and local creator Maggie Harrison channels that pride with warmth, clarity, and heart. A lifelong KC native, Maggie describes herself as a bundle of sunshine who leads with love. Motherhood comes first, and everything else flows from there. Her content captures the everyday magic of the city, from family friendly outings with her young son to evenings exploring local restaurants, events, and hidden gems.
Maggie’s path into content creation grew naturally alongside technology. Storytelling felt intuitive, and highlighting her hometown became a calling. Early on, she learned the importance of brand alignment and trusting her instincts, lessons sharpened by the resilience required of single motherhood. That clarity now defines her work.
Today, her platform reflects two central pillars of her life: raising a child and building a career in real estate. Followers can expect active listings across the metro, kid approved adventures for snow days or weekends, and an insider’s view of Kansas City life. Her style is polished but real, think good hair, a fresh manicure, and a car that could use a wash.
Grounded by daily intention setting and a belief in manifestation, Maggie keeps things authentic. With a toddler in charge, there is no over editing. Her goal is simple and impactful: to be authentic, relatable, and relevant while helping others feel at home in KC. You can follow her journey on Instagram at @maggieharrisonkc.
