SUNDAY EDITION WITH ANTHONY CORONA
THE WOO-WOO LED YOU BACK TO YOU
A CONVERSATION WITH JAMIE ESTELLE ROTH
Sunday, October 11, 2026
1 PM Eastern
On Corona FM and 2020 The Beacon
Sometimes the journey we begin is not the journey we end up taking.
And sometimes, when we are desperately searching for a way back to the
life we once knew, we discover something entirely different.
We discover ourselves.
This Sunday, Anthony Corona welcomes bestselling author, podcast host,
and fellow traveler on the unexpected journey of sight loss, Jamie
Estelle Roth.
Jamie was in her fifties when she woke up one spring morning having
lost the vision in her left eye. What followed was a devastating
progression of sight loss that would change her life, her
relationships, her plans, and ultimately, her understanding of
herself.
Like so many of us who have experienced sudden, life-altering
circumstances, Jamie went searching for answers.
Traditional Western medicine. Eastern medicine. Alternative therapies.
Spiritual exploration. Metaphysical practices.
And what Jamie affectionately calls the "woo-woo."
She was searching for a cure. Searching for relief. Searching for
something that might restore what she had lost.
But somewhere along the way, something remarkable happened.
As Anthony observed during their conversation, the woo-woo did not
lead Jamie to a cure.
The woo-woo led her back to herself.
"THE WOO-WOO LED YOU BACK TO YOU."
And that realization became one of the defining moments of a
conversation filled with humor, vulnerability, honesty, and unexpected
connections.
Anthony and Jamie share different stories, but there are striking
similarities in their experiences of sudden blindness, grief,
adjustment, acceptance, and the sometimes complicated process of
rebuilding a life we never imagined having to live.
Together, they explore what happens when the answers we desperately
want are not necessarily the answers we receive.
How do we move from searching for a cure to discovering a new sense of purpose?
What does surrender really mean?
Can acceptance and hope exist in the same space?
And can we embrace spiritual exploration while still asking questions,
maintaining skepticism, and recognizing the realities of our
circumstances?
Jamie shares the journey behind her bestselling memoir, "Should've
Seen That Coming! Navigating the In-Between Moments of Acceptance,
Surrender, and Resilience."
With the book's second anniversary arriving tomorrow, Monday, October
12, we also talk about the experience of bringing her own words to
life by narrating the audiobook herself.
There is something especially powerful about hearing someone tell
their own story, in their own voice.
We also explore Jamie's podcast, "My Higher Self Has Questions," where
she brings curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism to
conversations about mysticism, intuition, spirituality, and personal
growth.
And don't we all have questions for our higher selves?
Beyond her writing and podcasting, Jamie creates spaces for women
navigating the transitions of midlife, including menopause, empty
nesting, changing identities, and the conversations that too often go
unspoken. Through her in-person gathering circle, The Gathering, she
encourages honesty, connection, and the freedom to explore life's
complicated chapters.
For Anthony, this was more than an interview.
It was a conversation between two people whose lives took unexpected
turns, who recognized pieces of their own experiences in one another,
and who discovered that even when our stories are different, the
emotions and questions surrounding them can be remarkably familiar.
It is a conversation about blindness, certainly.
But it is also about resilience, identity, humor, healing,
spirituality, and finding our way forward when the map we once
followed no longer exists.
And perhaps, somewhere along the way, finding our way back to ourselves.
