Today Ellen interviews Corean Canty for the special series of The Next Chapter

Corean is a Transformational Speaker, Certified Life and Leadership Coach, Well Being Expert, podcast Host and Professional Improvisor. She is co-founder of Shift To Play- a culture strategy firm that helps organizations shift to a more collaborative, innovative and inclusive culture by transforming team communication, connection and creativity.

Corean started career in radio and moved through corporate culture and got burnt out. Her health got bad and she was in bed for 3 months but she kept pushing herself. It wasn't until her mom got ill that she realized time was not infinite. She was watching her mom suffer from end of life regrets and it woke her up.

In our conversation we talk about the importance of reinvention, of self-care, of listening to your gut, and taking life slow to appreciate the beauty of our lives.

Ellen is again joined by the wonderful astrologer Bruna Maia. Together they do a LIVE Q&A with Kayla.

Kayla has a background in tech, including running her own start-up. About a year and a half ago, she decided to take an extended break to recover from (formerly undiagnosed) near divergent burnout, work through complex trauma in therapy and get clear on the people, spaces and initiatives that give her joy. Having spent this time healing and growing, she is wondering what is ahead for her career-wise, which now feels incredibly unknown. She is curious if there is clarity- an energy that connects purpose with opportunity- ahead.

Books mentioned: Ambition Monster by Jennifer Romolini, Mythos by Stephen Fry, Psyche and Eros: A Novel by Luna McNamara

Sustacks mentioned: Audacious Women Creative Lives by Ann Boyd

Today Ellen is thrilled to welcome Bruna Maia as her guest astrologer. They had a great conversation about the present transits, including next week's eclipse and equinox. Then they took a question from Angela. Angela recently left a 30 year career in corporate and is currently teaching classes in textiles, with the focus on slowing down and sustainability. She loves teaching but is yearning for something deeper. She has looked into coaching and psychology, but has shied away from pursuing that path. She wonders whether to jump in. TV shows and movies mentioned: CODA; Home; Couples Therapy; The Perfect Couple; Crazy Rich Asians; Slow Horses; English Teacher.
