The Next Step with Corrie Lo

"What are some of your favorite ways to overcome self-doubt or being scared of taking a risk?" This question came up during a private event Q&A while I was discussing the Lack of Confidence Overwhelm Culprit and it's one I hear constantly. Because so many high achievers hold themselves back from the exact move that would change everything, simply because they're afraid. Here's what I know for sure...

"How much of your vision board actually came true? Can you talk more about visualization?" Every single thing I've ever put on my vision board has come true. And I realize that sounds like a bold claim - but I'm going to show you exactly why it happens and more importantly, how to make it happen for you too. Vision boards have a reputation for being woo-woo. I get it. But they're one of the most u...

"What recommended books can you share that are impactful?" I love this question so much. Because here's the truth: pretty much any challenge you'll ever face, there's a book that walks you through exactly how to navigate it. In this episode I'm sharing the top 9 books that have genuinely changed my life and leadership and a few of them might surprise you. They surprised me too when I was putting t...

"How do you find a schedule to balance work, working out, and family?" This question came up during a recent private event Q&A and I hear it constantly. And every single time, I want to say the same thing: you're solving the wrong problem. Your schedule isn't broken. Your capacity is maxed out. And no amount of calendar management will fix a life that's already filled to capacity. In this episode...

"How do you find other outlets when you've always been a high performer? I've never developed hobbies or ideas outside of building my career." This question came up during a recent private event Q&A and the entire room nodded along. And honestly? I felt it too. Here's the truth: it's not about having hobbies for the sake of self-care. It's about finding what fulfills you and what restores you, and...

Most high performers don't lose their community. They outgrow it. After my divorce, I found myself a newly single mom of a five-month-old in a brand-new neighborhood on Long Island - two counties and a 45-minute train ride away from every friend and every person who had ever supported me. And not one of them understood abuse, divorce or single motherhood. I wasn't lacking people. I was lacking the...

So many high performers - especially women - stay stuck watching less qualified people get promoted. Not because they aren't ready. But because they're waiting for their work to speak for itself. Here's the truth: your work gets you credibility. But visibility is what gets you promoted. This question came up during one of my Overwhelm Culprit™ workshops and it's one I hear constantly. In this epis...

If every decision feels harder than it should - or you keep making choices that look right on paper but feel completely off - there's a good chance you don't know your personal values. Or more likely, you do know them. You've just been overriding them. This question came up during a private event Q&A while I was leading a values exercise, and it's one I hear all the time: what do you do when you c...

After my TEDx talk in 2020, I said something on stage that I no longer believe to be true. I said that I never felt overwhelmed. Looking back - that wasn't accurate. I just didn't recognize how it was showing up for me. And that's exactly the problem with high performers. We don't think we're overwhelmed. We think we're just pushing through. In this episode, I'm setting the record straight on what...

How many times have you committed to a new habit, given it everything you had - and then watched it fall apart? And then told yourself you just weren't disciplined enough? I've been there. And I want to set the record straight: it is not a discipline problem. The real reason your habits aren't sticking is because you're treating behavior change like a one-time decision instead of an ongoing experi...

Have you ever stood somewhere beautiful - truly present for the first time in what feels like forever - and thought, why don't I have this every single day? That's exactly what happened to me at a lighthouse in Portland. I was on vacation, my son strapped to my chest, salty breeze on my face - and for the first time in years after a high-conflict divorce and what felt like one crisis after another...

"Currently feeling like I'm failing in all aspects of my life. I'm looking for conversation starters from my spouse." This wasn't even a question - it was a statement someone shared during a recent private event Q&A. And honestly? I felt seen just reading it. I've been there. More than once. The truth is, when you're feeling like you're failing at everything, the last thing you want to do is have...

You're capable. You're competent. You handle everything - and everyone around you knows it. So why does asking for help feel so impossible? This episode was inspired by a real question from a recent private event Q&A, and honestly? My first thought when I heard it was this is me. If you're a high-performing woman who struggles to ask for help - or you love and support one - you're going to want to...

In this episode, I'...

In this episode, I break down one of the most overlooked causes of burnout: unsupported pressure. High performers don't burn out from responsibility. They burn out from carrying elevated responsibility...

In this episode, I break down the real reason you second-guess yourself - and it's not from a lack of confidence! I share a personal story about a time I knew something wasn't right in my life but delayed making a decision because I was afraid of the consequences of being wrong. What I've learned and what I see with so many high-performing women, is that second-guessing is rooted in CONDITIONING....

You can be incredibly clear and still have no idea where you're actually going. In this episode, I break down why high performers lose clarity first - and it's not because they're failing, it's because they're succeeding without pause. When you're capable, trusted and productive, speed creates the illusion of certainty and you stop questioning your direction. I share a personal story from one of t...
