So Corey, you described having a spiritual soul awakening in 2009. What happened during that time and how did it shift your life path?

I had been in great pain and sorrow for. Weeks, couple months, and, due to an unexpected and sudden breakup of a seven year marriage. And someone suggested I go to this weekend workshop Source School of Tantra Yoga, and I had no idea what it was or what to expect but I thought it would be better than just, sitting at home feeling sorry for myself.

So I went and. They spent a lot of time teaching us how to breathe deeply, move energy in our bodies. And then there was a big exercise on Saturday where someone picked some, you pick a partner and you sit and eat an knee and you just, you're eye gazing and the. The person that I was in front of she had been doing this work for 18 years, so she was a real pro and she had just gotten to this real integrated place in her life and somehow there was a transmission and, and at first my mind was wandering and she could tell, and she just reached out with her fingertips and just tapped my sternum and said, be here with me. And I was like, whoa. And in, in all of a sudden, just the eye gazing. It's like the air in the room changed. I changed, and instead of breathing air, I was breathing.

Love, just breathable love. So it just felt like it changed me at a molecular level. And that's when I embarked on all those workshops that you mentioned. Wow. I love that. That's so powerful. I've been in one of those, self-development where they had us, doing that. And it's very powerful and interesting.

Did you, did anything else occur? Did you see yourself in her at all? I just felt more me and I felt like I had finally tuned into the vibration of Corey and I also hired a love coach and he he was very wise and one of the things he said was, now that you've found him, your goal is to keep him.

And that's, the ongoing works ever since is to vibrate on own frequency. Find Corey. Yeah, find Corey. Just be Corey. Oh yes. I love that your authentic self. Okay. Okay. Nice. Beautiful. So let's see. I had a few questions for you. So you've studied with a wide range of teachers. Which of these had the most profound impact on your life and why?

Oh, gosh. They really worked like stepping stones, like climbing a mountain, if you will. And I. I think I would say Charles Muir, he was just so pivotal that he's the founder of Soar School of Re Yoga, and he just embodied and taught this very gentle, connected beautiful way of being where.

He wasn't fazed by anything. There were, things come up, people have issues. And it was just like he handled everything with such grace that I was so impressed. I'm like, I want to be like that. But I had to do a lot of other things to even get to that place. Yeah. It's powerful. It's beautiful.

And then you're also a wilderness guide for newly sober people. What did you learn about that and like, how did that come to be? Sure. I did that for a total of 11 years. The last three was a little bit on and off where I'd worked just a whole winter or just a whole summer.

If you can call that on and off. But it wasn't the 12 months of the year like I did the other times. And one of the things that. I really got was a respect for forces larger than myself, such as weather, topography, darkness, seasons, the unexpected and I also learned that people's differences.

Change into assets depending on the situation. So maybe someone's the best at encouraging other people to keep going. Maybe another person's the best at making a fire. Maybe the other person doesn't say a lot, but every once in a while they come out with an insight that just helps everybody.

And so yeah. And also, and there was, and the thing about the wilderness and the reason we were really there was. Because there's so many obstacles and there's so many opportunities to become frustrated and each of those with, and I wasn't so much, I didn't look at myself as so much a teacher as much as a guide like I can.

Model how I handle frustration. I can, show how to be better prepared and all that. And I can be there with you as long as it takes to work through something. I'm not gonna do it for you, but I'll be right. I'll work as hard as you for as long as you work, right? I'm not. You. I'm not gonna work more, but yeah, I'll meet you there.

Are you also sober? Like how did you get led on this path of Wilderness tours and Because? Because I had been an instructor at a primitive skills school. Called the Tracker school. I was there for, I took classes for three years. I taught there for three years full time. And so I was immersed in this world of fire without matches and making a shelter from nothing and how to find your way and edible plants.

And so I got recruited to, 'cause they needed a wilderness. Expert person at this place with newly sober people to help keep everyone safe mostly. And but, and I never had a problem with substance myself, but I can certainly relate to not handling frustration well to being, a self-centered, dummy dog.

And because at the heart of addiction is self-centeredness, and I had plenty of. Experience with that minus the drugs. So we could, can you elaborate on that, what you mean? Self-centered was, just thinking about me and not necessarily about what another person might need or want in a given situation.

So I'm thinking So like victim mentality? It would definitely switch to that if I didn't get my way or things didn't go the way I had hoped or someone didn't respond the way I wanted. Then I, and it's putting responsibility to the outside world versus taking your own responsibility.

Yeah. I was just curious what you meant by friction being like self-centered. Like I know it's most people that are, they're usually trying to numb some pain. They have emotional pain usually, but, so let's go back to your relationship coaching. You described your work now as helping people increase connection, clarity, and ease.

What do you find most often blocks people from experiencing these in their relationships? I would say looking to the other person to provide for you versus I am going to, connect to me. Whether that's journaling going for a walk, a hard workout, or being in the ocean, what whatever connects you to you.

I'm a fan of. And so once you're, you can fill your own emotional well a bit or your emotional gas tank and so then you're coming together to co-create. Something fun or whatever you want versus expecting, showing up to your partner for looking for what you can get versus what you can give. Okay. I love that. So it's two independent whole people versus you coming as a, like wanting to fill your cup from the other person versus filling your own cup first. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. And so it's, I don't look at it like a intimate relationship.

Or any kind of partnership, not so much, 50 50 as each person puts in a hundred, like they're showing up and this is what I'm up for. How does that land with you? Versus, we're gonna do, if I don't, if we don't do what I want to do, then I'm, Poe what's the word? Salty or whatever. But a lot of people, it seems like they, they're, we're all like doing the, like we're all.

Flawed beings. We're all whole and complete, but we're all flawed beings. So that's the challenge. If you haven't done the work, so many of us were never taught healthy communication. What are some simple shifts people can make to uplevel how they can communicate with a partner or loved one?

Oh communication's probably my favorite subject. It's what my book Soul Statements is all about. And. First off, the good news is successful communication can be learned. It's a skill and and part of it, the setup is to be able to know yourself. So you're speaking from true wants, true values true desires.

And so if you're, the more you're connected to your own center. Remembering who you are, what you are, why you are, then you can speak from that clarity. And you know what's and too many times we all do it where we're looking for what's wrong or we're seeing, noticing what's wrong and what's wrong.

There's always something wrong and it's easy. Easy to find. It's easy. Yeah. It's really easy, especially since that's what our brains are designed to do. Also what's right is always available. There's always something, and so the more we focus on what's right, and the more we can practice being grateful for that, then we're better off or better or a better person to be with.

And just holding my own circumstance a little more lightly because, yes, I've suffered, I've had hardship, heartache, hardship, but, not less than or more than so many other people. And so it's not That's different. Different, yeah. And it's a wonderful thing when you're in a companionship with someone, is to just pretend that they're the most important person in the room.

And attend to them and listen to what they're interested in. I, and, practice that appreciation. I oftentimes, I put couples on a complaint fast for hopefully they can do it for a month. But if you have complaints in your head, instead of saying them out loud. Flip them into a request, figure out where the what you would actually like instead.

And maybe speak requests instead of complaints, just skip right over to requests. That's a great idea. And then the pro versions, as I write in my book, the pro versions is it even the ones that aren't said out loud? That you flip those too. The complaining inside your own head is not really the, just because you didn't say it out loud, that's not necessarily good enough to really get where you want to go.

You have to change it inside too. What does that look like? Journaling it out or, it looks like choosing, I'm complaining that this, the shoes are left in the doorway where I'm gonna trip on 'em and, or, the kids are gonna trip on 'em. Something like that and just going, you know what?

There's so much other that's good about what's happening that. I can deal with that. I can move them if it comes to that. And I, and I don't have to have a snarky attitude. I can say, Hey, you know what I moved the shoes. No big deal. I can keep doing it. And it'd be. I'd appreciate if, everyone else moves 'em too.

So I'm not always the only one. Just instead of so that you've gone to the request and you're not having to, point finger and just make a complaint without, offering any kind of solution or just making it lighter hopefully is a good thing. Yeah and one of the big things with communication, I really, that really goes a long way, is acknowledgement.

And so say someone's. Else is complaining or they're maybe just talking about something that's made them upset. You can say, wow. I hear this is upsetting for you. You don't have to agree that they should be upset. Maybe it wouldn't have made you upset. It doesn't matter. The point is it made them upset.

They're upset for their reasons. And you can just acknowledge that. And too many people don't because they don't agree. So forget agreeing, just acknowledge. Okay. I hear this is upsetting. Yeah. We're all allowed to have our feelings, right? Yeah. And so we can't like even, my child, my adult son.

But I remember, it's just all the things, right? We don't, like when I grew up, my mother or whoever's don't cry, here's an ice cream. But now we know that you need to express your emotions. It's, if you don't, they get stuck, but or they manifest in the body and different things.

But that's my belief. But, like people are allowed their feelings and I just know that sometimes we, we say things like, oh, you shouldn't feel bad because da. It's no, let the people can feel how Right. However they wanna feel. It's, it's interesting. Yeah. And the other thing too is it's nice to have.

Another neutral person, like maybe it's your, your pickleball buddy or some other person that you can, complain a little bit to, or maybe just say, Hey, there's this thing. It's a little sticky and I'm not sure how to get through it. You have any ideas, and so you're not just bringing every little problem to your partner.

Yeah. I see. Yeah I recognize that, some people don't have friends and it's important to have friends to talk to or counselor or something, but, so empathy plays a big role in your work. And you talk about, how it deepens intimacy and it's heals disconnection. So what role does empathy play in, deepening intimacy?

I would say that empathy is like a healing balm and. It helps get out of the snickety snack of saying this and saying that and just going to, and connecting on a deeper level a human level. And one of my other teachers, Scott K. Thomas, he taught me a wonderful thing, which is when you're feeling.

Affronted or disrespected or something like that, instead of just opening your mouth and saying, Hey, I don't like that, whatever it is, but to acknowledge your own heart, acknowledge the woundedness, and you can just put your attention on your own heart and think to yourself silently, ouch. That hurt.

It's okay. And you're just offering a little, you're saying, I acknowledge that. I feel my hardest feelings. You're triggered, right? Yeah. Like you're recognizing that you're being triggered and instead of attacking the other person to give yourself self-compassion for noticing. Yeah, and so there's that beauty of acknowledgement again, so that, because if someone acknowledges me when I'm upset oh, I get this is a problem.

I'm immediately 50% less upset 'cause they heard me. And and a lot of the arguments are arguing for they, you wanna be heard, like this is a big deal to me. And if someone gets it, you're like, oh, thank you. Yeah. Yeah. And and if you can just go straight to your own heart, then you're not grasping for that, for the, from the other person.

You've given yourself a little acknowledgement. A little pause. Okay. You can maybe have, it creates a little more space to be curious like, oh wow. I'm just wondering why you did that, or why would you say that? Or why does it bother you? Yeah. Why is it bothering me so much? Oh, figure out what wound needs to be healed and within yourself.

And that's why that's, so that's really great. Thank you for that. Yeah, I think that a lot of people will benefit from that instead of, just getting curious. And like you said, which is a total coaching thing, is like when people just want, like literally, coaches are mostly. Just listening and allowing people to share and be seen and heard and all that, which it took me a while.

I've been in this for years, but 'cause I like to be a fixer and stuff and give instead of allow, listen. Listening. That's right. More and that's what people really want. So that's great. So how do you help people move from conflict into compassion when emotions are running high?

Probably you just shared, right? Yeah. And if they're running too high where you're gonna blurt out something that is super unkind and you can't take back and the other person can't unhear it you can call a yellow light or a red light. You can say, Hey. I'm feeling pretty upset and I, in order to be able to hear you better, because what you're saying is important, I need to spend five minutes, 10 minutes getting right with me so that I can, be more present for you and just, so you might have to just take a little pause, go into another room, scream into a pillow, whatever you need to do, and just.

Think about, put everything in a little more perspective. Yeah. And come back. Yeah. And and. Acknowledging, being curious. Asking better questions is gonna get you farther along to closer to where you, you want to be. So I think the place where people get really damaged is when.

They don't take that time to slow down because, you can go from z, hero to zero in very quickly. Yeah. And yeah and you don't wanna stay at zero. You wanna be like, Hey, wait, I need to defend myself. And so it's whoa. Slow down, self acknowledgment, acknowledge them. Be curious about what's going on.

You, and that's why part of the reason I wrote the book Soul Statements is so that you can offer yourself even a soul statement. I have a loving heart. Say you're being a accused of doing something mean, and you can just go and to yourself, go, I have a loving heart. And so then you're, if you.

Feel the truth of that. That's where the power comes in, is the feeling of it. And so you, yourself, your body hears you, that's true. So you're less needing to just put up shields or throw arrows at the other person. Yes. And just be like I'm curious about your experience. Why would you even say that?

And then they could say this and this happened. Okay. You're right to you're right. That happened. And would you like to hear what I was trying to do or what I meant to do, or what I was thinking? And I'm and I'm so sorry that it. That was your experience because yes, I did those things.

That was your experience. And I don't want you to feel like that. So can we deconstruct it? I'll tell you what I was going on with me and we can come up with a way to do it differently going forward. So you mostly coach couples, correct? Yes. I coach couples and I also the.

Other kind of big demographic that comes to me are single women who they're either about to be single or they've been single and they're, they wanna prepare themselves to meet someone special. They, because they don't want just. Repeat the same patterns that they've had before and before.

They're like, I wanna do it differently this time. I wanna, create something that lasts. And so those are people that come to me too. Yeah, I like that. I just had a blind date yesterday. It was very interesting. I went into it with the way I usually do. Zero expectations except that I'm going to have a good time.

And and it was fine. It was overall, but it was enjoyable overall. But I knew there wasn't like the vibe, like he's, anyway it's just that. I'm very aware and there were a lot of positives before, like boxes I was checking. He checked some boxes, but Uhhuh really and I just, I, when you look back and reflect, I'm thinking like I wanted, when I would thank him for something, I wanted a response versus nothing.

Or it felt like he was obligated. I wanted. I know I'm very sensitive, but I also wanted I just feel like people at our age, if you haven't done some work like you and I like that, and not saying this person didn't, they may have, but he just, there's a little bit of wounds or like negative, like just.

Not a happy being. It seems like it's just interesting. And this other one, this is a long, like probably a couple of years ago, he was, I had attracted a lot of recovering alcoholics it seemed but I don't care. It doesn't matter. I don't drink anyway. But, so anyway, he this one we were on a date and he just kept talking about like childhood things and his mother did this.

And it was like, I don't wanna hear about your. Mother almost cutting your hand. It's like we're on a date. Yeah. There's a therapist down the street. I'm not. Yeah, exactly. So that's like me just, I know what I want. I'm getting co closer to knowing, and I'm proud of myself for going out there.

And all of that. So that's positive. But it's just interesting, people I work on my beliefs that there is, that it's possible and all of that. And I'm not gonna have these beliefs like, oh, there's nobody good, or Everybody's taken, or everyone's scar. But that's interesting that you coach women. So you've blended some spiritual development, emotional growth, and practical communication skills. How do these worlds come together in your coaching? Firstly, I wanna find out what this person is needing, what they're interested in where and try to get a sense for where they're starting from and, what skills do they have now what skills could compliment those or fill in some holes.

And a lot of what I do is asking. Asking them about them. And so I'm, what I'm getting to is I'm helping them ask better questions. So instead of saying, why aren't I finding the right person? That's a question that's not necessarily answerable. But. Do you believe that we're all magnets really like I do.

And so my goal is to, if you can develop a loving relationship with yourself, that's a huge prize. And so you'll vibrate at a certain level. Yeah. That unsuitable people won't, will just not even see you. And but that person that is suitable will see you. And it's all about becoming the person that would be in a alignment in vibration with.

I love that. Yes. The person you have in mind. Yeah. That's so funny. 'cause I was talking to my girlfriend after the the meeting yesterday and she said, you weren't a vibrational match because you're here and he's Yeah. She's you didn't, his energy, he didn't have the energy. Yeah, sure.

And I don't really judge that because I don't know where he started from. Necessarily. That was fine. Yeah. I just, there wasn't any, the physical wasn't there really either, but, I love that we are all magnets. We, it is a vibrational universe and all that. I love that you think that way as well.

Do you believe that we, so tell us about your book. I was gonna ask you about soulmates. Like soulmates. Tell me the name of your book again. Soul. Soul Statements. Statements. A Love Coach's Guide to Successful Communication. Okay, so a love coach's guide. Yes. But what's the book for? Tell us who the book's for.

The book is for all the people that are never gonna call me on the phone for a coaching session. So I thought, let me put as much of my best stuff. That I can in this form so it can go out in the world and just be helping here and helping there. That's great. And so I'm really proud of it. And the soul statements I coined that.

Phrase or that term to describe so something that's really true and unchanging and good about you down inside. And so it's the whole book's based on, and the soul statements concept are, it's based on the premise that answers and truth are in your center. And there's a path to make that voice in your head become more resourceful and more loving and more kind.

And so starts with yourself loving yourself. Yeah. And so the first step is realize that you're having an unhelpful attitude or thought. And then you declare a soul statement. If you're by yourself, you can say it out loud, if not silently. And and feel the truth and the rightness of it, and that feeling, that thought generates Yeah.

And then your next thought is informed by that. So it's better. And and I'll actually say to myself many times. I can't believe I'm thinking that again, that unhelpful, worst case scenario thought that's your default, right? Yeah. And I'll say I used to believe that. And what's really true is there is strength in my center.

My body is healing itself. I can trust my deep knowing to guide me. So those are soul statements that I use. And and then I'm like, wow, that's actually true. There is strength in my center. There's grit inside me. That's true. And I, when I feel that. My body hears me thinking it, saying it, and they go, Uhhuh.

Yeah. Yes. The conscious. And so then I can operate the next second. The next second from that place. Yeah. Very powerful. Like some things that I would say is I'm lovable. Yeah. And I'm a loving person. And and the love in my life begins with me. Awesome. Love it. Yeah, a lot of it's Louise.

Some of it's Louise Hay, but I also have affirmations up here on the wall. But I put them all around because I have my childhood programming and, conditioning that didn't serve me and does not serve me. So it's powerful. And I was in a relationship in 2017 for two years, and I wasn't who I am today, so I attracted this particular person.

Insecure all the things because that's who I was. And then, I've evolved and grown and stuff in the last three years, pretty much been healing working on me and all the things to become a better version of myself, and then becoming my own best friend, my own best advocate, just sharing. And that's why the podcast is called Worthy and Abundant.

It used to be called Empowered. The podcast. And I changed it. I changed it temporarily to abandon, to abundant. Now it's worthy and abundant because we're all worthy just for breathing. And we walk around thinking we're not worthy because of something that happened in the past or because of something we were told or we experience.

You know this. Absolutely. And why not build a relationship with your own heart? Like literally wow, I can feel it and it's doing its thing on my behalf. It's been doing it since before I was born, and it will do it, it will do that for me my whole life. And doesn't hurt to say, oh, I notice you.

Thank you for being there. Beautiful heart. That's ful. Yeah, because I always tell women like, we've been, criticizing our bodies for so long. I have. And so now I'm like. Learning to love my body, and even if there's an ache or pain, I'm like, I send love there and I like, I thank my body for all, that it does for us.

'cause Yeah. And the thing is that with the soul statements, the emphasis is on. True. So it's yes, it's true that you are a loving person, you have a loving heart. And so you're not trying to trick yourself into, leapfrogging into a future state. Or condition, you're just reminding yourself that I can do this.

I am enough. I am lovable. And and so you're, it's like the law of ance. You're just, you're resonating at that. And then the rest of who you are will match that if you state it. Just, you can't state that enough. I am enough and yeah, enough. I have a sweatshirt. I am enough.

Great. Yeah, it's good. It's good. It's important. And one of my, the profile on the one, I was off there for a while, but the one it, I was wearing that sweatshirt and many men, like that picture that says, I am enough. Yeah. Because it's, I feel like it's the mental health crisis on the planet.

It's worthiness. I really do. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. And I think it was, it might have been Eckert Toley who said, you get there by realizing you're already there. I love that. That's beautiful. Where can so where us some of your daily practice or tell us something that you do for yourself, and then also what all listeners can do right now to bring more love and ease into their relationship.

I have a little kind of home altar set up, very kinda my spiritual things. And I'll just, I'll sit there in the morning and my goal is to just be still, and I'm. I'm feeling the greater silence that exists. If I can be quiet and can feel that, and it's, I can feel it also, like if I dive under a wave in the ocean and I'm on that sandy bottom and then I just, instead of just feeling where I am, I just actually listen and it's like there's this great silence under there and that's what I'm attuning with.

I'm offering my silence. As a prayer to the great silence, right? And then after that I'll get up and I'll walk to this other room where there's a east facing window, and I'll just open my palms and I'll look at that light, that morning light that's just filling the world. And I'll just feel. Grateful that I get another one of these days.

I get another day and I feel the light. I imagine the light passing into my body and just feeling it as a healing, loving. That's so funny. So I'm just absorbing the lu, the love that's in the light or the light that's in the love or something. I see. That's funny because when I walk my dog in the morning, the sun is out I'll literally open my arms sometimes.

Mostly when no one's around, sometimes I don't even care. And I'll say I am open and worthy to receive and I sometimes like. Because I used to be in real estate and I'm still licensed. I'm licensed here too. But this little boy was at an inspection, this little boy, the woman brought her grandson and he's four or five, and he pointed at the sun.

He goes, there's God. And I just thought it was like, ooh. Really powerful. But anyway, so I'll, I feel the light too. And I'll sometimes say, I don't care, I'm just, I'm honest and authentic, but I'll say heal my body and mind, like heal, like I'll say that like just all the old programming I want released and like I want to heal it.

But anyway, I just love that you do that with the light. 'cause I also feel. Like the sun is being really powerful and it's always there. It's, yeah. Constant. And it's beautiful. Did you have more things you do in the morning for your practice? I then, I also I do some chin-ups and some squats, and then I have these, elastic things. I do this and so I do a little upper body, a little lower body. I just do all those three times through and and sometimes if it feels like I'm pushing I'll, I remember that thought of I'm doing this as an act of love to myself, so I'm not, this isn't, I'm reminding my body, I'm not punishing you.

This is an act of love. We're getting stronger together. Yeah. Discipline. I just, yeah, I just said that like from this other coach, discipline is an act of self-love. It's discipline, like doing something over and over to get a, like the physical body needs to move. It's healthy. You're doing a good thing, right?

That's great. Yeah. Moving your do have you read the hell LR Magical Morning or Miracle Morning? I don't know it. Oh, okay. He has, he calls it savers. So the S is silence, which is meditation. A is affirmation, V is visualization. E is exercise R is read, and then. The US is scribe, like writing.

So savers, he calls it savers. But it's all the things, the morning practice, but you don't have to do everything every single day. But if you have five minutes to yourself in the morning, you could read something. You could, I like to add gratitude and prayer. Like even if it's, dear God, thank you for a new day.

And then heal me, guide me, show me to the ne or show I like to say. Show me, guide me, lead me to the next Right. Action towards my goals streams and decide. Very nice. Use me as a vessel for good. Basically me as for good. Thank you. And this podcast is the vessel like, 'cause I keep getting these guests like you and that just bring value to me and bring value to the world.

Love it. Thank you. Can you share what one daily practice that listeners could start right now to bring more love and ease into their relationships? I immediately think of a complaint fast and not necessarily like the one I described earlier. Where it's related with another person. But just complaint in general, like any complaint and challenge yourself to go 24 hours with no complaints in your head or if you.

If you that maybe isn't there for, set a certain time like within 10 seconds of thinking a complaint, I want to turn that around into a gratitude or a request that I'm gonna make and just but not letting it just keep. Being there, and so without say, counteracting it. So an unchallenged complaint, I guess is the way I'd say it.

So can you go 24 hours without an unal without having any rep complaint go unchallenged. And and, typically, if you're like most of us, you'll have to just go oh, it's been an hour and I realize I've been running this complaint around for 15 minutes. Clock starts over, and so it may take quite a long while to get 24 hours, but it's well worth the effort.

Do you study Kabbalah at all? I haven't. Okay. So like in Kabbalah it's ancient wisdom Jewish, but it's all people study it. David Gim Anyway, if you like. He basically one, you can't talk negative about anyone. And also it's like complaining is just like any negative. That's just, you're blocking your blessings, you're blocking your blessings, like gratitude. You can find a underlying blessing and gift in everything it seems like. But gratitude is huge and I love practicing and I've been doing it for 12, 13 years since I had a debilitating illness and it was part of my way to heal. But yeah. I love that, that you recommend that. I just it's foreign to me because I don't associate, I try to block out people that.

Would complain or gossip or anything just because it's not my style. I like to look for the po. Oh yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy. Once you become aware of complaints inside your own self, how much. The talk of other people is a complaint. You're like, wow, I didn't realize. Yeah. Like the general public, Yeah.

Yeah. Negative. It's all, I don't watch the news either 'cause it's all negative. And fear-based. Jim Quick said the goal of the news is to make every problem your problem. So why watch it? Exactly. We got enough of our own. Oops. That's me being connected. That's a that's, yeah. It's just a natural.

So is there anything else you wanna leave with listeners before we find out where they can connect with you and learn about you and coaching together and Sure. I was thinking about. A couple things in my, a little excerpt and and then I also have my question about soulmates Angel 11, if you believe in soulmates and if we have more than one.

And I'll just say this one. Your most powerful soul statement brings you to the secure knowing place, which you return to in order to collect yourself. This place inside is where you may acknowledge the stress and make it all right. A soul statement could let you access the strength of your character and allow this knowing to inform your next action or non-action.

It's a condensed message of knowingness from the deep you to the surface you. Your deep knowing is always available, but you have to intentionally tap into it. The world offers limitless distraction. You must intentionally choose to turn down the volume on the external world. Don't be still, and no, as the scriptures say, yeah.

I mean it's all like they, they, a lot of us say the answers are within us. You just have to quiet the mind to get there. We're our own guru. That's right. That's right. We got our own guru. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, it is very important to quiet the mind even if it's walking in nature or if you can't sit still and stuff.

Do you believe in soulmates though? I'm curious. I, yes. And I also believe that there's someone for everyone and that being said. You can, you wanna be with someone that, that helps you, allows you, encourages you to be the best version of yourself, and that they're interested in the same thing for them.

So I think it's more important to match on values than on, on other things. And yeah. I do. I believe that. And it's it's 'cause in some cases it's it's it fits so well. It's almost there's no way, even though it may be like a needle in a haystack, we were so destined for this that there was no way the angels weren't gonna bring us together.

Oh wow, that's so interesting. But we also know that we're magnets, so I'm just saying, yeah. Interesting. Do you also believe that we can have I feel like my dog is a soulmate of mine, like a ver I do. Oh yeah. Because just how I got him, this particular dog, I've had several dogs over my life, but he's definitely like angelic or something.

And then like my son who's brilliant and always was brilliant, he says soulmate. You could have a friend, could be a soulmate. There's many soulmates. You agree? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Oh yeah, I like that too. Awesome. Okay, so where can people find you? Cory? Lyon. Folsom. Okay. I'm actually easy to find Cory Lyon, Folsom, all one word on Instagram Pinterest.

F on Facebook. And, but my website, core relationship.com has coaching info as well as a couple dozen articles. I've written my theories on approach on things. And there's a page there to purchase the books, soul statements via bookshop.org or Amazon, and you can always ask your local bookstore to order it.

Awesome. Awesome. It sounds really interesting. I like it. I like what you're doing. So good job. Thank you. And con congratulations on the book. Very thank you. Are, is there another, what's in your future? What do you first there's I I'm considering, I'm looking into how to create an audio book version.

But that's some months away. Because I'm just figuring it out. But I'm thinking of a children's book. I'm thinking about a card deck and I have other, there's four or five other book ideas too. Oh, I love the card deck. Alion card deck, the affirmation. Like a, yeah. That's great. And then children book that is also brilliant.

I love that. Okay. Thank you Corey. This was so good. I'm glad to meet you and share your journey, and your story and your book and good stuff. It's been a pleasure, Linda.
