<![CDATA[Lay Low Pod]]>Welcome to Lay Low — the podcast about becoming who you were always meant to be.

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.

In this episode of Lay Low, Erin talks about navigating holidays after divorce, missing traditions that once felt permanent, and learning how to create new memories instead of trying to recreate old ones.

From solo trips on a tight budget to Christmas adventures with her boys, this episode explores how environments, travel, small rituals, and intentional moments can help us heal through seasons of change.

If your holidays look different this year — because of loss, heartbreak, family changes, growing up, or simply becoming someone new — this conversation is for you.

Maybe different doesn’t mean ruined.


Maybe it’s the beginning of something beautiful.

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.

Maybe you’re not falling apart.
Maybe you’re building a cocoon.

Why a podcast? And what does “laying low” actually mean?

In the very first episode of Lay Low, Erin opens up about the season of life she’s currently navigating — life after divorce, a recent breakup, becoming an empty nester, living alone for the first time, and the quiet but powerful transformation that can happen when life slows down.

She shares the story behind the name Lay Low, her struggle to write her book and move past certain chapters of her life, and why this podcast may be the thing that finally helps her find her voice in real time.

This episode is about change, reflection, identity shifts, growth, reinvention, and the strange in-between seasons where you can feel yourself becoming someone new… even before you fully understand who that is yet.

If you’re going through your own level up, your own healing season, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself after life changes — this conversation is for you.

This is Lay Low.
Real life. Real time.
Figuring it out as we go.
