Ep. 010 | Solo Session: The Unexpected Reset, Motherhood & Me
<p><strong>Ep. 010 | Solo Session: The Unexpected Reset, Motherhood & Me </strong></p><p>This episode is a little different — it’s just you and me. No guest, no co-host, no chaos… well, actually there is chaos, but it’s mine. </p><p><br></p><p>Back in May, I got laid off. Yep. Not on my 2024 bingo card. And while I can laugh about it now, it absolutely sent me into a full identity crisis, a motherhood juggling act, and a “who am I without a job title?” spiral. But here’s the twist: that curveball is exactly what made this podcast possible. </p><p><br></p><p>In this solo episode, I’m talking about what this unexpected reset has taught me — from rebuilding my confidence to learning to sit in the suck, to recognizing that human connection is the only thing keeping me from fully unhinging some days.</p><p> </p><p>And because you all always come through… I’m answering your listener-submitted questions, including: </p><p>✨ What’s one thing I had to unlearn from childhood as a wife and mom?</p><p> ✨ What’s the wildest thing I’ve done that no one knows about? </p><p>✨ Which celebrity I’d drop everything for, immediately. </p><p>✨ Do I want more kids? (The answer may surprise you!)</p><p><br></p><p>From recording episodes in the DTLA library (yes… a library) to finding a new studio, new freelance work, and honestly a new version of myself — this season has been messy, humbling, hilarious, and surprisingly beautiful. </p><p><br></p><p>Let’s get cozy… and let’s get connected.💛</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 Tune in now — and let’s get connected! </p><p>🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe. </p><p><br></p><p>👉 Stay connected:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ilyanacapellan/">@ilyanacapellan </a>on all socials </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/icconnectionspod/">@ICConnectionsPod</a> on all socials</p><p><br></p><p><strong>IC Connections 🎙️✨</strong></p><p> <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ic-connections/id1838791340">Apple Podcasts</a> | Spotify | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ICConnectionsPod/videos">YouTube</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>🎶 Music Credits:</p><p>Composer: Sosin Mykola </p><p>BMI IPI Number: 01077477915</p>
