Halfway through the year is the perfect moment to stop coasting, take inventory, and make bold, intentional moves that actually align with the life you want to build.

Corinne Morahan uses this mid-year checkpoint to challenge listeners to think like a CEO, pausing to evaluate what’s working, what’s draining them, and what deserves more focus in the months ahead. Sharing her own shifts in business, health, and home life, she breaks the process into three simple questions: What will you keep? What will you drop? What will you double down on?

This episode isn’t about hustle. It’s an alignment reset. Corinne offers a mindset reframe with the concept of living in the gain instead of the gap, reminding us that we’re not starting over, we’re starting from strength. If you’ve been craving clarity, permission to let go, or a fresh path forward, Corinne gives you the framework to finish 2025 on purpose.

Building a successful business gets a lot easier when pleasure is part of the plan.

In this episode, Corinne Morahan shares how tapping into joy, rest, and rituals that feel good can open doors to the kind of success that hustle alone can’t reach. Drawing from her own evolution, from being a professional organizer to a multi-business CEO, she makes the case that pleasure isn’t a distraction from productivity, but a direct line to better ideas, stronger decisions, and more energy to execute.

Corinne invites listeners to identify what genuinely lights them up and to design routines that make space for it, whether it’s a steamy bath, quiet backyard time, or a great romance novel. The goal? To stop capping your potential with stress and instead fuel your creativity, magnetism, and stamina through practices that feel good.

What would shift if your days were filled with more fun, more joy, and more of what energizes you? That’s where the real power starts.

Holly Haynes built a thriving business by treating her schedule like strategy and success like a lifestyle decision.

After 22 years in corporate strategy, Holly knew something had to shift. She wanted mornings that weren’t rushed, afternoons that included the bus stop, and a career that didn’t require sacrificing her health or time with her family. So she made a plan, a very specific one, and stuck to it.

In this episode, Holly joins Corinne Morahan and walks through how she launched Crush the Rush, built her business in ten hours a week, and created real momentum while still working full-time and raising twins. She shares how setting theme days and defining her best working hours helped her move faster, not harder, and why consistency beats hustle every time.

What does it look like to grow a brand when you’re still in a 9-to-5? How do you know when to take the leap? And how do you make sure you’re not doing it from a place of panic? Holly answers these questions and more, with honesty. She also shares her take on visibility, why she doesn’t rely on social media, how she uses podcasting and SEO instead, and what’s changed in her business since she started focusing on real-life priorities.

Saying yes to everything might look generous on the outside but it’s often fear, not confidence, calling the shots.

In this episode, Corinne Morahan talks about what really drives our constant “yes-es,” and why it leaves so many of us drained, overbooked, and quietly resentful. Are you saying yes because you want to… or because you’re afraid of what it means to say no?

Corinne shares the moment that changed everything for her: realizing that jumping in too quickly wasn’t helping. It was keeping others from stepping up and keeping her stuck in a cycle of overcommitment. From there, she explains what it actually looks like to say yes with intention.

Corinne breaks down how to tell the difference between an aligned yes and a knee-jerk one, and how to build a calendar that reflects what matters most. You’ll hear her take on pre-deciding your boundaries, creating white space on purpose, and checking in with your future self before you commit.

If your week is packed with things you agreed to out of guilt or habit, this episode will help you shift course. Where are you leaving yourself out of the equation, and what would it take to stop?

Strategy might build the plan, but flow is what actually moves the needle.

Corinne Morahan challenges the default mindset of starting with strategy and instead makes a case for leading with intuition and flow. She shares how over-optimizing every aspect of her business left her feeling stuck, and how everything shifted when she stopped trying to control every outcome and started listening to her instincts.

Referencing the concept of flow from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s “Finding Flow,” Corinne explains how flow isn’t just a feel-good state. It leads to better ideas, more satisfying work, and faster results. She outlines the signs you’re out of flow (think: decision fatigue, overthinking, and never-ending to-do lists) and offers practical shifts to help you recalibrate, like building in space to daydream and trusting ideas before rushing to execute.

This episode is an invitation to reorder your approach: intuition first, strategy second. You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on productivity, and maybe even permission to stop color-coding your calendar.

Perfectionism promises success but quietly steals progress, joy, and the chance to create the life you’re meant to live.

Corinne Morahan pulls back the curtain on how perfectionism creeps in, stalls your momentum, and dims your impact before you even realize it. She shares how her own identity as a proud perfectionist kept her stuck until she saw how much it was costing her as an entrepreneur. Is the constant pressure to “have it all together” helping you, or holding you back from the success you want?

In this episode, Corinne draws a clear line between having high standards and chasing perfection. She explains why the pursuit of perfection often leads to procrastination, missed opportunities, and a cycle of self-criticism that stops real growth. What could happen if you moved forward before you felt ready?

Corinne offers a roadmap for breaking the perfectionist cycle. From setting limits on revisions to reframing mistakes as powerful feedback, she shares tools that help you build momentum instead of getting trapped in endless overthinking.

If you have ever found yourself paralyzed by the need to get it exactly right, this episode invites you to rethink what real success looks like and reminds you that progress, not perfection, is where the real magic happens.

Letting go of who you were might be the hardest part of becoming who you’re meant to be… but it’s also where real growth begins.

In this episode, Corinne shares what it feels like to stand between two versions of yourself: the one you’ve known and the one you’re becoming. She uses the image of climbing a mountain to illustrate the process of personal evolution, how reaching new heights requires more than just ambition. It takes recalibration. It means noticing what no longer fits and being willing to set it down, even when those pieces once felt essential.

What identities have you outgrown? Which routines or roles feel heavy, even though they’ve helped you get this far?

Corinne offers examples of how change shows up in business, in relationships, in daily habits, and why releasing old versions of ourselves can bring up unexpected emotions. Sadness doesn’t mean the change is wrong. It means you’re paying attention. She also speaks to the fear that often comes with growth: fear of disappointing others, fear of leaving familiar dynamics behind. Naming those fears out loud is part of stepping fully into the next version of you.

This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask yourself: who am I ready to become, and what’s one action I can take today to move in that direction?

00:00 Love and Relationships

01:40 Travel and Recharging
