This Magic Life Podcast
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.

PS This used to be called Entry Level Mom Podcast...
Below is the info for episodes 0-122! Aka my old intro:
(We're all "entry level mom's", with no prior experience.
However everything we for motherhood need is within our DNA!
In this podcast, I discuss various topics with friends and experts.
We share vulnerable, and honest tales.
The goal is to grow and learn, and to encourage/uplift along the way.
This is connected to my book, "Entry Level Mom" available at booksbybonnielippincott.com (or Barnes & Noble & Amazon!)
Please remember to be kind to yourself!)
