Before we dive into the next season of the show, we’re hitting pause to reflect and celebrate.
Over the past year, we’ve released 43 episodes of The Next Step with Corrie Lo. Each one was designed to help high-performers like you take action with clarity, even when life feels overwhelming.
Whether you’ve been with us since episode one or you’re just discovering the show, here’s your chance to catch the best of the best – based on downloads, shares and the DMs you sent saying “I needed this one.”
Let’s count down the top 5 most popular episodes of the year.
1. MY TRAVEL PACKING SYSTEM (STEP-BY-STEP) + REUSABLE PACKING LIST)
This episode blew up for a reason.
If you’ve ever overpacked and still forgotten something important – this one’s for you.
I walk through the exact Notion-based packing system I use for every trip, including:
- My 5-4-3-2-1 outfit formula for fitting two weeks into one carry-on
- The reusable checklist I use (and how to make your own)
- Smart packing hacks that save time, energy, and stress
This system has saved me on business trips, family vacations and everything in between.
2. Why Am I Always Saying Sorry? (How Over-Apologizing Hurts You)
If “sorry” is your default – especially when you haven’t done anything wrong – this episode will hit home.
I break down:
- Where this habit really comes from (spoiler: it’s not your fault)
- Why over-apologizing subtly erodes your authority
- What to say instead to hold your boundaries and own your power
This one had so many of you sending messages like, “I’ve never thought about it this way before.” That’s exactly why it made the list.
3. I Got My Book Deal! But Here’s Why It Felt Harder Than I Expected
Spoiler alert: this wasn’t just a celebration story.
In this deeply personal episode, I share:
- The behind-the-scenes of landing my book deal for The Five Overwhelm Culprits™
- Why achieving big goals doesn’t always feel how we expect
- What I learned about success, identity and permission along the way
If you’ve ever hit a milestone and felt… weird about it? This episode will make you feel seen.
4. Stop Overthinking Your Morning Routine (Do This Instead)
If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing because your morning routine isn’t “perfect,” this one’s your permission slip to let that go.
In this episode, I share:
- Why “ideal” morning routines don’t work for real life
- The simple shift that helped me take back my mornings
- What actually matters when it comes to starting your day with intention
It’s not about what time you wake up. It’s about how you feel when you do.
5. If You’re Always Exhausted, This Might Be Why
Chronic exhaustion isn’t always about how much sleep you’re getting. In this episode, I dig into:
- The emotional and mental culprits of fatigue
- How high performers accidentally drain themselves trying to “do it all”
- A new approach to energy that starts with alignment, not adrenaline
This one had a lot of you saying “This is me.” If that’s you too, definitely give it a listen.
