Corie Weathers is a licensed counselor who has spent two decades sitting with people in the middle of hard things. Marriages under strain. Families carrying more than anyone outside the house can see. This podcast is that same conversation, opened up. Corie talks with guests, and sometimes straight to you, about marriage and connection, parenting through change, faith, mental health, and the culture we are all trying to live in right now. You get clinical insight without the clinical distance, and you leave with something you can use this week. Corie is the author of Military Culture Shift and Sacred Spaces, and a licensed professional counselor and board certified coach. She was one of the Mighty25 Influencers of 2024 and the 2015 Armed Forces Insurance Military Spouse of the Year for her work with service members, families, and military academia. Each season takes its own shape. This one is simple and conversational, closer to how these talks actually happen at a kitchen table.

    Back to the Beginning: Finding Your Center in the Second Half of Life

    After about two years away, Corie Weathers returns to the podcast and explains how she decided where to take it next. Drawing on Richard Rohr's Falling Upward, she looks at the second half of life, when harder questions come up. She asks what first sparked your joy, how far you've drifted from it, and whether you feel pulled to grow bigger or to go smaller and more grounded. If you're in a season of change, this episode offers three questions to help you find your next step with peace and confidence.
