2
SPEAKER_02
 his friends out of the studio, not invite anyone over, go into the basement or go into the studio and make weird sounds that he would only make if he was on his own.
2
SPEAKER_02
And so he literally like yells into the microphone, he makes a weird sound, he screams and he goes, if I had my friends in there, I would feel so judged that I wouldn't do that.
2
SPEAKER_02
So he goes, for me, the best creativity is being alone and just making weird noises.
2
SPEAKER_02
 And then I'll discover something like, oh, I want to find an instrument like that.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_05
Like, like, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_05
No, that's, that's really, really interesting.
2
SPEAKER_05
No, I mean, I haven't had anything like that on our podcast yet.
2
SPEAKER_05
Um, I'm trying to think, I mean, like this is not as cool at all, so I don't want to say.
2
SPEAKER_05
 No, we were, we were really surprised.
2
SPEAKER_05
We were looking up, um, also like in this morning routines episode, like what a lot of people eat in the morning and you, you know, you, you've been like, um, sold that you need to have like bacon and eggs.
2
SPEAKER_05
Most people have oatmeal.
2
SPEAKER_05
And I was like, I don't like oatmeal, but maybe I should try eating oatmeal.
2
SPEAKER_05
Cause most billionaires eat oatmeal.
2
SPEAKER_02
 Do you know why that makes me very happy?
2
SPEAKER_02
I've been eating oatmeal my whole life for breakfast.
2
SPEAKER_02
Really?
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
I recently switched to chia pudding because I found out that I have a slight allergy to oats.
2
SPEAKER_05
Oh, you do?
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
So I switched to chia pudding, which is actually much nicer.
2
SPEAKER_05
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_05
Well, you're already on your way.
2
SPEAKER_02
I mean, yeah, you're already incredible.
2
SPEAKER_02
Chia pudding, blueberries, strawberries.
2
SPEAKER_05
 That's your morning.
2
SPEAKER_05
Okay, I need to be on that.
2
SPEAKER_02
And like you said, it's all personal.
2
SPEAKER_02
I did a micronutrient test recently, which is what helped me realize that I have a slight allergy to oats, but also like oats was leaving me feeling bloated or uncomfortable, whatever it may be.
2
SPEAKER_02
Whereas chia seed pudding has been amazing for me.
2
SPEAKER_05
 Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_05
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
I guess we're going to redefine what billionaires eat in the morning.
2
SPEAKER_02
Exactly.
2
SPEAKER_02
It doesn't have to be oatmeal, it can be.
2
SPEAKER_05
No, it doesn't have to be.
2
SPEAKER_05
And like everyone makes, and that's the whole thing with like my toolkit and like, that's like, it's a choose your own adventure thing.
2
SPEAKER_05
But I think when you have the knowledge of what to do, that empowers you to make the most conscious decision for yourself.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
 Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
What are you most excited about what you're creating right now?
2
SPEAKER_02
Like what's a role that you're playing that you've just deeply dived into and you're just feeling it or even if there's something coming up that you're just like, this is challenging me in a way that I know I'm growing.
2
SPEAKER_05
 Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_05
Um, I'm pretty sure by the time this comes out, this will be news.
2
SPEAKER_05
Um, I just sold my first TV show two weeks ago.
2
SPEAKER_05
Um, and so that has been such a journey for me.
2
SPEAKER_05
I've been working on this show for like five plus years.
2
SPEAKER_05
I wrote it, I created it.
2
SPEAKER_02
 Are you in it too?
2
SPEAKER_05
I'm in it as well.
2
SPEAKER_05
And so I just sold it.
2
SPEAKER_05
And so I think for me, this is like this new challenge for me.
2
SPEAKER_05
I've EP'd a show before.
2
SPEAKER_05
The one on Netflix, Sad Stop Embarrassing Me, but I've never been the creator and the writer and the EP and the actor.
2
SPEAKER_05
So, I mean, it's going to be this whole new ballgame for me.
2
SPEAKER_05
And so, yeah, I'm really excited to go down the path.
2
SPEAKER_05
I'm terrified.
2
SPEAKER_05
But again, to circle back to the beginning, like, I feel like I can do it.
2
SPEAKER_02
 Yeah absolutely of course you can and congratulations.
2
SPEAKER_02
Thank you.
2
SPEAKER_02
I love that you shared that with us and I love that because it's such you're taking on just so much I mean to write, create, direct and be in it and which part of it do you enjoy the most or is it is that a bad question?
2
SPEAKER_05
 They stretch different muscles.
2
SPEAKER_02
Tell me about what they stretch, because I get that.
2
SPEAKER_02
What does each part of it do for you personally?
2
SPEAKER_05
Again, I'm a very type A, type B person, so I need the rawness and then the role in the show for myself.
2
SPEAKER_05
 She has this beautiful journey and this beautiful evolution of self and discovery.
2
SPEAKER_05
And so, like, to be able to be in her shoes, I'm so excited to do.
2
SPEAKER_05
But then also, like, from my producer side, like, my type A side, like, I can't wait to get everything in line and, like, get our cast set.
2
SPEAKER_05
And, like, I like checking boxes.
2
SPEAKER_05
And so, like, that's gonna give me— that's gonna, like, feed that side of myself.
2
SPEAKER_05
So it's, like, this perfect balance of, like, my creativities just being stretched in both ways.
2
SPEAKER_05
 Life coach and therapist is really what it is.
2
SPEAKER_02
There we go.
2
SPEAKER_02
I love it.
2
SPEAKER_02
What do you think is the most scariest thing you've ever taken on or the most like challenging thing you've ever taken on?
2
SPEAKER_02
Is this going to be it or what's up till now, what's been that thing, personal or professional?
2
SPEAKER_05
 Personally, there's been a, there's been a few, but I would say professional.
2
SPEAKER_05
I did a live special on ABC of good times.
2
SPEAKER_05
It was a live performance.
2
SPEAKER_05
We were doing a one night only thing with Jimmy Kimmel was hosting it.
2
SPEAKER_05
Viola Davis was playing my mother.
2
SPEAKER_05
I was playing like an iconic character, Thelma Evans.
2
SPEAKER_05
And it was terrifying.
2
SPEAKER_05
Also Tiffany Haddish was in the cast and it was an incredible cast.
2
SPEAKER_05
And then like,
2
SPEAKER_05
 imposter syndrome, me.
2
SPEAKER_05
And I'm like, what am I doing here?
2
SPEAKER_05
Can I, I've never done a play before.
2
SPEAKER_05
And essentially this is what this is.
2
SPEAKER_05
And it's live for millions of people.
2
SPEAKER_05
So it was absolutely terrifying.
2
SPEAKER_05
But the way I coped with that fear was to come in so prepared that nothing could shake me.
2
SPEAKER_05
I knew this performance frontwards, backwards.
2
SPEAKER_05
I did it every day
2
SPEAKER_05
 10 times a day, my boyfriend was like going to go crazy because I was just saying my lines, saying my lines.
2
SPEAKER_05
But it worked out because you get there and you're nervous and you're like, at least I know my lines.
2
SPEAKER_02
 Totally, I remember that.
2
SPEAKER_02
Except the funny thing for me is, and I'm sure you've experienced this, whenever you turn up with all that prep and knowing your lines, they always change your lines on the day.
2
SPEAKER_02
Oh yeah, and you're like, wait.
2
SPEAKER_02
Or they give you a new script.
2
SPEAKER_05
Luckily, we were going from original episodes where we could not, we weren't going to go from the script, but that does always happen.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, no, I love that.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, because I always get there and I'm like, but having said all of that,
2
SPEAKER_02
 what you just said is spot on, that when you've done that prep, you actually feel like you can adapt to whatever's thrown at you.
2
SPEAKER_05
Right.
2
SPEAKER_05
And that's what I've learned with being an actor.
2
SPEAKER_05
It's like when you really know your script, that's when you can play.
2
SPEAKER_05
But when you're sitting there remembering your lines, you're not present.
2
SPEAKER_05
You're not in the scene.
2
SPEAKER_05
And so like I applied that there, which was an acting thing.
2
SPEAKER_05
And I was just like, the more I know my lines, the more fun I'm going to have doing this because this is the scariest thing I've ever done.
2
SPEAKER_02
I love that.
2
SPEAKER_02
I love that.
2
SPEAKER_02
All right.
2
SPEAKER_02
 Corinne, I could carry on talking to you for fun for hours and hours and hours, but we end every episode of On Purpose with the final five.
2
SPEAKER_02
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_02
So these are the fast five.
2
SPEAKER_02
Questions have to be one word to one sentence maximum.
2
SPEAKER_02
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_02
So it can be whatever a sentence is, I don't know, seven words, nine words, I don't know, whatever it is.
2
SPEAKER_02
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_02
So the first question is, what is the best advice you've ever received?
2
SPEAKER_05
Always save a little love for yourself.
2
SPEAKER_02
 Oh, I love that.
2
SPEAKER_02
That's such great.
2
SPEAKER_02
I've never heard that before.
2
SPEAKER_02
That's beautiful.
2
SPEAKER_02
What's the worst advice you've ever received?
2
SPEAKER_05
That wearing Uggs was a good idea.
2
SPEAKER_02
 Tell us why.
2
SPEAKER_05
Because I have a lot of horrible red carpet moments from when I was 10 years old and I look back and I'm like, why would I wear Uggs on a red carpet?
2
SPEAKER_02
You were 10.
2
SPEAKER_02
You didn't choose those, did you?
2
SPEAKER_02
Or you did?
2
SPEAKER_05
I probably did.
2
SPEAKER_05
I don't know.
2
SPEAKER_02
I love that.
2
SPEAKER_02
All right.
2
SPEAKER_02
What gets you excited and gets you excited when you're waking up out of bed every morning?
2
SPEAKER_05
My sisters.
2
SPEAKER_02
 Tell us more, I'm gonna explain.
2
SPEAKER_02
You don't have to, I'm intrigued.
2
SPEAKER_05
Oh yeah, my sisters are 13 and 14 and I look forward to hearing about their days every day because they're at this pivotal age, really the age where I was diagnosed with anxiety and to see them growing and changing every day, it makes me so excited and also I'm just so hopeful with all of Gen Z, they're incredible.
2
SPEAKER_05
You guys have it way more put together than we do.
2
SPEAKER_02
 I love that.
2
SPEAKER_02
Question number four, what is your current purpose?
2
SPEAKER_02
So how would you define your current purpose?
2
SPEAKER_05
Being a voice for those that feel silenced.
2
SPEAKER_05
I love that.
2
SPEAKER_02
Fifth question.
2
SPEAKER_02
Uh, if you could, and this can be gone longer, if you could meet your younger self again today, your 14 year old self, what would you tell her?
2
SPEAKER_05
Uh, it's funny cause I, I, I answered this question today, but, um, I would tell her it gets better.
2
SPEAKER_05
 I was also bullied in high school and there was a time in which you feel like it's the end of the world and I wish I could go back to that girl and be like it doesn't only get better it gets spectacular and it keeps going and you're only gonna go up from here and I think when you're that age you just everything feels like the end of the world and it doesn't it isn't and I
2
SPEAKER_05
 Yeah, it hasn't been.
2
SPEAKER_05
That's beautiful.
2
SPEAKER_02
Corinne, thank you so much for being so vulnerable, so open, so generous with your time and also your energy.
2
SPEAKER_02
And just, I think everyone who's going to listen to this is going to have a great time.
2
SPEAKER_02
I think there's moments where we're laughing, there's moments where people are having really profound moments.
2
SPEAKER_02
And I love just how, what I really admire about you is just how focused you are on your wellbeing.
2
SPEAKER_02
 and yourself.
2
SPEAKER_02
And I find that that's such a brilliant foundation for all the success you're creating from it.
2
SPEAKER_02
Because often you find that people are doing a lot of successful things, they're making things happen, but their personal health and wellness is kind of all over the place.
2
SPEAKER_02
And so I really appreciate that.
2
SPEAKER_02
And I think you're setting a wonderful example of how that's the foundation of everything that's to come.
2
SPEAKER_05
Oh, thank you so much.
2
SPEAKER_02
Thank you so much.
2
SPEAKER_05
This was such an honor.
2
SPEAKER_05
Seriously, I can't believe I was on your podcast.
2
SPEAKER_05
Again, Oprah was on your podcast.
2
SPEAKER_05
How am I on your podcast?
2
SPEAKER_02
 No, you're here because you are showing all generations to come just how to figure out our life step by step, keep that love for ourselves, remove that self-judgment, beat that imposter syndrome.
2
SPEAKER_02
I mean, this is exactly what we all need to hear.
2
SPEAKER_02
If you've been listening or watching at home, I want to make sure that you tag me and Corinne on Instagram, on Twitter, on any platform.
2
SPEAKER_02
 you're listening on and let us know what were the takeaways, what were the nuggets of wisdom that Corinne said that you're going to repeat.
2
SPEAKER_02
Maybe you're going to say it to yourself, maybe you're going to say it to your kids, maybe you're going to say it to your parents, whoever you're going to say it to.
2
SPEAKER_02
Please do tag both of us because I love seeing what you're learning and what you're taking away.
2
SPEAKER_02
Corinne, any final words or anything you want to share?
2
SPEAKER_05
 Oh my God.
2
SPEAKER_05
No, again, this has been such an honor.
2
SPEAKER_05
And I mean, I am such a huge fan of you and your wife.
2
SPEAKER_05
I said that when I first walked in here, I was like, where's your wife?
2
SPEAKER_05
And so, no, it's been so great talking to you.
2
SPEAKER_02
Thank you so much.
2
SPEAKER_05
Thank you.
2
SPEAKER_01
