Protecting Your Inner Child & Becoming Your Own Safe Space
This week on Corey Conversations, we’re going deeper than usual.
I’m talking about healing childhood wounds, unlearning toxic mindsets, and the uncomfortable but powerful journey of becoming your own safe space.
For a long time, I looked for safety in other people... in relationships, validation, reassurance. But what happens when you realize the stability you’re searching for has to start internally?
In this episode, I break down what it actually means to stop abandoning yourself, how to regulate your emotions instead of reacting from old wounds, why calm can feel unfamiliar when you’re used to chaos, and how self loyalty changes the way you date, love, and move through the world.
This one is reflective, honest, and grounding.
If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety in relationships, people pleasing, hyper independence, or feeling like you’re “too much,” this episode is for you.
It’s time to stop waiting to be rescued and start becoming steady

You Don't Need to Be Healed to Be Heard
After a few months away, I’m back... and I’m done waiting until I feel “fully healed” to use my voice.
In this episode, I talk about navigating healing in real time, being single on Valentine’s Day (again), watching others hit life milestones while you feel on the sidelines, setting boundaries in friendships, and outgrowing people who no longer align. I also reflect on recent political and cultural moments that feel heavy, and what it means to speak up anyway.
If you’ve been feeling behind, not enough, or stuck in a "becoming" season… this conversation is for you.
We’re not waiting to be perfect here. We’re showing up anyway.

Body Issues, Self Love, & Confidence
Today we're going to talk about body issues, self love, and confidence. I know it's something we all deal with as human beings. Throughout my life this far, I have had many ups and downs with these topics. I am also learning each day how to deal with them and how to change the way I think, feel, and live. In this episode I discuss my own experience with body issues, experiencing harmful body discrimination within the LGBTQ+ community, and my own body image in general. I also discuss steps and tips that have made me a more confident version of myself. I discuss the importance of self love and how that looks different to everyone. To exist in a world as authentically yourself without apologies or explanations isn’t easy. But it is so necessary and needed in order to love yourself, and to be a confident version of yourself. By being yourself to the fullest extent, you are showing the world your power and in the process show others around you that you are a force to be reckoned with.
