The Cocoon Before the Wings

from Lay Low Pod · host Erin Madsen

What if the quiet seasons of your life are actually preparing you for transformation?In this episode of Lay Low, Erin shares the story behind what she now calls her “cocoon season” — the months following a major breakup, becoming an empty nester, and unexpectedly finding herself alone in a way she never had before.What started as redecorating a room slowly became something much deeper: creating a safe environment to land, heal, reflect, and evolve.Through stories about butterflies, nature, solitude, and personal reinvention, this episode explores the uncomfortable but necessary spaces between who we were and who we’re becoming.This conversation is about quiet growth.About learning to sit with yourself without constant distraction or validation.About realizing that not every transformation needs to be loud to be life-changing.If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down, go inward, protect your peace, or rebuild your life differently — this episode is for you.Submit listener questions or share your story as a possible pod guest at www.laylowpod.comThanks for laying low with me. ❤️
