527. Personal update, life transitions and how to find peace in the waiting

·30 min·3 clips
Corinne's interview guest cancels last-minute, forcing her to record an unplanned, vulnerable life update instead.
Corinne Angelica opens the episode by explaining she had to record solo because an interview guest canceled last minute due to a sick child. She decides to share a personal life update instead, framing it as an open, honest conversation about her current struggles. She reveals she recently went through a major life transition that she is not ready to fully articulate, which has shifted every aspect of her life. This has left her in a 'messy middle' phase, particularly in her business where she feels something is 'off' and knows 'something else is coming.' She expresses a desire to expand her work more into pregnancy and postpartum support, including becoming a lactation consultant, but the path is unclear. A key conflict is balancing these aspirations with motherhood; she works three set days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday) and wants to maximize time with her two-year-old daughter Madison without burning out. Corinne relates this feeling to listeners who might be in similar transitional phases, such as trying to conceive, moving, or changing careers. To cope, she emphasizes creating space for silence and slowing down, which is uncomfortable for her as a self-described type A person. She shares that she recently started watching TV again for the first time in over two years, specifically Gilmore Girls, to practice rest. She also recommitted to journaling, noting she processes thoughts better by writing them down. The episode includes a lengthy promotional segment for Gut Personal supplements, where Corinne lists her top recommendations like the booster probiotic, Miracle Worker Magnesium, and vitamin D3 drops, explaining their benefits for gut health, fertility, and overall wellness. She advises listeners to avoid making their transitional phases a 'problem' and instead view them as normal seasons of growth. Corinne discusses leaning into her spirituality, asking her 'spirit team' for guidance and using affirmations like 'I am open, ready, and willing to receive.' She concludes by affirming her commitment to the podcast community, whether episodes are tactical or personal like this one, and encourages sharing the episode if helpful.
