This Magic Life Podcast

Bonnie Lippincott, aka an entry level mom

This Magic Life is the companion podcast to Bonnie Lippincott’s book This Magic Life (Coming Q2 2026). This is a space for exploring the unseen forces shaping our lives: intuition, creativity, motherhood, work, and the invisible thread that connects every living being. Originally, I imagined this next chapter as Mid-Level Manager Mom (following Entry Level Mom), with an eventual CEO-Level Mom. But after stepping away from corporate America, the idea of “leveling up” in motherhood no longer fit. This podcast reflects that shift — from titles and ladders to alignment, presence, and living with intention. Through solo reflections and intimate conversations, This Magic Life invites listeners to reframe success, trust themselves, and recognize the quiet magic woven into everyday life.

    This Magic Life #159: Honesty with Grief with KC Bosowski

    Send us Fan Mail Grief does not end, but it can change the way you carry it.  KC Bosowski shares the unfiltered story of losing her husband suddenly, stepping into solo parenthood, and learning how to survive a life that changed in a single day: The day her husband passed away from a pulmonary embolism. What starts as a deeply personal conversation becomes a powerful look at resilience, honesty, and the kind of support grieving people actually need.  KC opens up about the moments that shattered her, the small routines that helped her keep going, and why being told she is “so strong” is not always the compliment it sounds like.  You’ll hear about: What grief really feels like when you’re still making dinner, paying bills, and showing up for your kidWhy she stopped sugarcoating how she felt and started telling people the truthThe kind of presence that helped most after loss—food dropped off, quiet company, and people who stayedHow solo parenting, faith, and motherhood have reshaped her understanding of joy, survival, and loveKC also shares what recovering from back surgery has taught her about receiving help, patience, and rebuilding when your body won’t do what it used to. Through all of it, she keeps returning to the same hard-earned truth: healing is not linear, and you do not have to be perfect to be loved. This episode is for anyone walking through grief, supporting someone who is grieving, or trying to find their footing after life has taken an unexpected turn. Honest, tender, and unexpectedly funny in places, it’s a conversation about how to keep living with a broken heart—and how to let joy back in without guilt. KC shares openly about grief, solo motherhood, and rebuilding life after profound loss. She brings a rare mix of vulnerability, humor, and hard-won wisdom to a conversation that will stay with you long after it ends.
