Hi, I'm Patricia Cosulich-Smith, a certified life coach, podcaster, playwright, social innovator, and expectant new mama. Oh, and obviously the host of this the Transitions podcast. In keeping with the show's history of highlighting life transitions, I decided to launch a new season focused on the theme of gestation because it is top of mind for me as a pregnant lady/new mom. So there will be some pregnancy and new parent content balanced with other content about the gestational process for ideas, creative work, businesses, and movements more broadly, and even a little social science thrown in Here's the official season Description Gestation: the central theme of season two is an exploration of the growth period that precedes the birth of ideas, art projects, movements, and even life itself. It embodies the liminal space where potential is nurtured and shaped, representing not only the physical journey of pregnancy, but also the creative evolution of concepts, the planning of social movements, and the development of innovative projects and works of art. Through in-depth conversations with a diverse range of guests, we will journey through the rich tapestry of gestation, uncovering the stories of visionaries, activists, and creators who have harnessed the power of this formative phase to bring about significant change and give life to their aspirations. I'm excited. You're hopefully excited. Text this trailer to your bestie and let's make change our bitch. ****   Ready to make a change?

Preparing for marriage is a unique time in which couples often navigate a lot of important decisions together. This extends far beyond the joy (and stress) of wedding planning– you are planning a household and a life together! This could mean rearranging your finances, moving, family planning, and a lot of other potential changes for both of you. Not to mention navigating different cultural backgrounds, personalities, and families of origin. It's a lot! Couples often idealize engagement as a particularly romantic period, which it can be! With that being said, it's also a HUGE transition, so give yourself some grace.   Patricia thought it would be fun to chat with Katie about her unique engagement experience! Katie DePaola Silverman is an entrepreneur, author, speaker and mental health advocate. In 2015, she founded Inner Glow Circle, with the mission of providing alternative education for thousands of women to become certified coaches and use their lived experiences for the betterment of others. Through IGC, Katie built the first all-women, all-online accredited coach training course, helping thousands start businesses of their own. She is a founding member of Bo's Effort, a foundation started in honor of her late brother Bo, and a board member of Building Traditions Society at Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation.   In her bestselling book, At Least You Look Good: Learning to Glow Through What You Go Through, Katie shares her most vulnerable and often funny reflections on how to deal with the hardest parts of life—and her best advice for people who want to “glow through what they go through.” Katie is a fierce mental health advocate, who built her business amidst challenging times, growing from a self-funded startup to a multi-million dollar business. She has been featured in TIME, Entrepreneur and Forbes, as well as over 60 podcasts.  Connect w/ Katie: https://www.instagram.com/itskatiedepaola/ https://www.innerglowcircle.com/becomeacoach/     ****   Ready to make a change?

Billy shares about his tools for building a reciprocal and impactful support system, as well as how he managed change after a series of disruptive events. Right after a bad breakup, he lost his job, his car broke down, and he had to move back in with his parents. In order to boost his confidence and have something to look forward to, he started grad school.

Currently, he is working on his Ph.D. to better understand change.   Billy is a Consultant who focuses on goal creation and attainment, developing human capital, and navigating change. He is currently working on a Ph.D. of Leadership at the University of San Diego with an emphasis in Consultation, Coaching and Change Management.

The podcast is officially one year old!   One year ago on March 1st of 2022, I officially launched.   I launched messy.   I hated my cover art.   There was no intro/ outro music.   There were only two episodes.   I didn't do a big buildup marketing campaign.   Pre-launch, I actually had one episode I published 3 months prior without telling anyone.   Then I finally made the shift and dove in.   So, whatever you're dreaming about… Start.    Do the thing.   One year from now, you'll be super proud of how far you've come.   It's not about how messy you are when you start. It's about the person you become in the process.      Ready to make a change?
