Margeaux (Margot)

Margot (Margeaux) Stewart Burgoon
Author | Marketing Strategist | Forest Therapy Guide-in-Training

Margeaux is a storyteller, strategist, and survivor whose personal and professional journeys are rooted in resilience, connection, and transformation. With more than two decades of experience leading marketing, branding, and client experience initiatives across industries—from luxury real estate and financial services to wellness and consumer goods—Margeaux has built a career helping others find their voice and share their stories with clarity and heart.

As the founder of House Story Marketing, Margeaux serves as a fractional CMO and project management consultant, working with clients ranging from start-ups to established firms. She has guided campaigns for high-growth real estate brokerages, national financial services organizations, and purpose-driven brands, always with a focus on relationships, values, and authentic messaging. Her professional journey has included roles such as VP of Marketing & Business Development for Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union, Head of Brokerage Marketing at Corcoran Pacific Properties, and Recruiting Partner at 10X Recruiting Partners.

But her most meaningful project began the moment her life took an unexpected turn: a breast cancer diagnosis. Out of that season came Courageous Compass: An Empowered Patient’s Guide to Healing—a practical, project-management-based guide for navigating life-altering diagnoses. Margeaux’s writing blends grit and grace, offering readers encouragement, structure, and resources when they need them most.

Today, Margeaux continues her healing work not only through her writing but also through nature. Currently completing her Forest Therapy Guide certification (anticipated October 2025), she will offer guided forest bathing experiences that provide a grounded, restorative path to presence, reflection, and well-being. These experiences are rooted in the same values that inform her book and her brand: resilience, adaptability, and the deep wisdom of the natural world.

A lifelong traveler, devoted mother, and enthusiastic community builder, Margeaux is passionate about creating space—for healing, for storytelling, and for meaningful reconnection with ourselves and others.

PS She has been overusing ellipses and em dashes since way before AI! She has no plans to stop now.

PS2 Her nickname is longer than her actual name and she likes it like that. Feel free to call her Margeaux or Margot, just maybe not Margie.
