What happens when you build the thing you always wanted—and it still doesn’t feel right anymore?

This week, Corrie talks with Emily McDonald: entrepreneur, business mentor, mom of two boys, and founder of The Stylist LA. Emily built a seven-figure company from her living room, raised a million dollars in venture capital, opened stores in LA and SF… and still found herself in a warehouse, pregnant and panicking, wondering, “How did I get here?”

In this honest, insightful conversation, Emily shares how motherhood (and a pandemic) forced her to rethink everything—her business model, her identity, her definition of success. She opens up about grief, burnout, marriage dynamics, childcare math, and why she now guards nap time like sacred ground. It’s a conversation full of humor, clarity, and real-deal wisdom from a woman who knows chaos and has learned how to work with it, not against it.

Whether you're navigating daycare drop-offs, business dreams, or just trying to figure out what’s next—you’ll find a lot to love in this one.
