Elderhood, Conscious Living & The Art Of Transition - Guest Corinna Stoeffl

Change is the one constant in life — yet for most of us, it’s the thing we resist the most.


In this heartfelt and deeply reflective conversation, Dr. Tina sits down with Corinna Stoeffl, a conscious living guide, photographer, and lifelong explorer who has turned life’s transitions into art. Together, they explore how to meet change not with fear or resistance, but with awareness, grace, and curiosity.


From the endings that invite us to let go, to the in-between neutral zones where identity dissolves and rebirth begins, Corinna shares her three-phase model of transitions — a framework she’s lived, taught, and refined through decades of personal experience. Having journeyed through divorce, relocation across continents, and even new adventures in India in her seventies, Corinna embodies what it means to live consciously and courageously through change.


Dr. Tina reflects on her own midlife awakening — the moment she finally paused long enough to breathe, choose, and live deliberately after years on autopilot as a doctor, mother, and achiever. 


Dr. Tina reflects on her own midlife awakening — the moment she finally paused long enough to breathe, choose, and live deliberately after years on autopilot as a doctor, mother, and achiever.


Together, they ask:
 How can we move through transitions with more grace and less resistance?
 How can our elders guide the younger generations toward conscious living and freedom of choice?
 How can we make decisive decisions while remaining open to change again and again?


This episode is an invitation to honor life’s transitions as sacred rites of passage — to stop following the yellow brick road that was paved for us and begin painting our own. Whether you are at a crossroads, reinventing yourself, or learning to trust life’s pauses, this conversation will remind you that every ending holds the seed of a new beginning.
