Hosted by entrepreneur, mother, and modern-day reinventor Erin Madsen, Lay Low is where deep conversations meet real life. We talk about growth, relationships, healing, ambition, energy, identity shifts, business, motherhood, heartbreak, confidence, and building a life that actually feels good to live. Some episodes feel like a late-night conversation with your smartest friend. Some feel like therapy. Some feel like the push you needed to finally change your environment, trust yourself, and evolve. This is for the people in-between versions of themselves. The ones outgrowing old lives. The ones quietly becoming. So pour the wine, go for the drive, take the walk, or lay low for a minute. You’re right on time.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T22:17:12.332006+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lay-low-pod-7859524"},"episode":{"title":"The Cocoon Before the Wings","slug":"the-cocoon-before-the-wings","published_at":"2026-05-12T01:50:27+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lay-low-pod-7859524/the-cocoon-before-the-wings","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lay-low-pod-7859524","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/fad641842b3cbe9df0812783e09d64d5c916e8dd67979fcfed6cda03bf116006/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJjNDRjNTViNy1kZjg2LTRiZDAtOTEzZC0xYjc5OWM2MWYzMjgiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIyNGQ0YTFlZC04NGRiLTRjNWItYWVmMy1iY2VjZTU4ZTg4Y2YiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OWQ2N2E3NzcyYTcxNTVmNTkxZDUzOWQiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEwMjc3NzU0YjQwYzNiMDkzNTg4NzhhL2VyaW4tbWFkc2Vucy1zdHVkaW8tY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi01LTEyX18yLTQyLTI5Lm1wMyJ9.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/fad641842b3cbe9df0812783e09d64d5c916e8dd67979fcfed6cda03bf116006/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJjNDRjNTViNy1kZjg2LTRiZDAtOTEzZC0xYjc5OWM2MWYzMjgiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIyNGQ0YTFlZC04NGRiLTRjNWItYWVmMy1iY2VjZTU4ZTg4Y2YiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OWQ2N2E3NzcyYTcxNTVmNTkxZDUzOWQiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEwMjc3NzU0YjQwYzNiMDkzNTg4NzhhL2VyaW4tbWFkc2Vucy1zdHVkaW8tY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi01LTEyX18yLTQyLTI5Lm1wMyJ9.mp3","summary":"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.
