The Corinne Morahan Podcast

EP 72: How Feminine Leadership Inspires Million-Dollar Ideas

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.

EP 71: Achieving Work-Life Balance as a CEO with Holly Haynes: Tips for Success and Sanity

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.

EP 69: How to Reclaim your “Yes” from Everyone Else

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?

EP 68: How to Get into a Flow State with Ease

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.
 
Episode Breakdown:
00:00 Strategy vs. Flow: Setting the Stage
01:05 What Is Flow and Why It Matters
02:10 The Book That Sparked It: Finding Flow

EP 67: What Happens When You Finally Let Go of “Perfect”

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.
 
Episode Breakdown:
00:00 Introduction
00:22 Why Perfectionism Holds You Back
03:32 Perfect Is the Enemy of Great
05:10 The Power of Imperfect Action

EP 66: Recalibrating To Your Next Level

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

EP 65: Write Your Next Chapter

Waiting for permission is the fastest way to live someone else’s story.
 
Corinne Morahan opens up about a season of transition: when the kids need you in new ways, your role starts to shift, and the question “What’s next?” starts getting louder. What happens when you realize you’ve been waiting for someone else to shape the next chapter of your life? And what would change if you fully owned the pen instead?
 
In this episode, Corinne breaks down the mindset shift that comes from stepping into main character energy. She shares the freedom that comes when you stop trying to be everything for everyone and start making choices that reflect what you want. Are you making decisions from alignment or from obligation? Are you shrinking to keep the peace, or showing up with clarity and confidence?
 
Corinne centers on three powerful ideas: you’re in charge, you’re the main character, and the next chapter is yours to write. She reminds us that daydreams are valuable, but only if we’re willing to turn them into decisions. And if that kind of agency feels exciting, Corinne invites you to join her mastermind, where those shifts get even more real.

EP 64: The CEO Shift

Running a successful business or household means getting clear on what truly needs you and releasing the rest.
 
This episode starts with Corinne Morahan sharing a moment most high achievers dream about: enjoying a vacation in Hawaii while her businesses run without her. How? Systems, delegation, and a willingness to let go. She also shares the story of a client who finally admitted out loud that she didn’t need her business financially and how that one honest sentence opened the door to a completely different way of thinking. If you didn’t have to do all the things, what would you actually want to do?
 
Corinne digs into the shift from doer to leader, and why holding onto every task could be the very thing holding you back. She offers real talk on outsourcing, letting others take ownership (even if they do it differently than you would), and creating success metrics that set your team, and you, up to win. Whether you run a business, manage a household, or both, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you spend your time and who you give your energy to.

EP 63: The Power of Proximity

Your next level of success may have less to do with strategy and more to do with who’s sitting next to you.
 
This week, Corinne Morahan unpacks what happens when you intentionally build relationships that stretch your thinking, raise your standards, and hold you to the version of yourself you’re working toward. Could the fastest path to growth be as simple as being in the right room?
 
Corinne breaks down the three kinds of relationships that can move the needle the most—peers, mentors, and intimate connections—and shares how each one plays a role in both your business and your personal fulfillment. You’ll hear how proximity to high-caliber women sparked more growth for Corinne in five weeks than she had in the entire year before.
 
This episode doesn’t shy away from the tougher side of the conversation either. Corinne offers a thoughtful take on setting boundaries with relationships that no longer align and gives permission to shift those dynamics with grace. If you’ve been feeling ready for a stronger, more aligned circle, this is your invitation to stop waiting and start curating.
