With a comment or question that I can address on the next episode xoxIn this episode, I open up about my struggle with self-judgment, perfectionism, and the discomfort of living with contradictions. How do we honor both joy and hardship at the same time? How do we find safety when life is always shifting and unpredictable? I share personal reflections on anxiety, attachment, and the deep human longing for consistency — and why learning to embrace change (even in small ways) can expand our capacity for growth and connection.If this episode resonates with you, I’d love to connect: 💻 Subscribe to my Substack: coriesenia.substack.com ✨ Follow along on Instagram: @coriesenia ☕️ Support the show: buymeacoffee.com/coriesenia 🌐 Everything in one place: msha.ke/coriesenia

An offering: Metta Meditation
Hey it's Corie! You can now send me a text! With a comment or question that I can address on the next episode xoxIn this episode, I’m offering a simple metta (loving-kindness) meditation—one that I’ve been practicing consistently and have found to be a grounding resource in my own life. While this practice is especially meaningful for people pleasers, it’s also just a beautiful reminder for anyone who wants to pause, breathe, and send a little compassion inward.Metta begins with ourselves: learning to wish for our own safety, happiness, health, and ease. From there, we can extend that same kindness outward, with more balance and authenticity.If you’d like to explore more meditations, I highly recommend Aditi Shah’s guided metta practices on the Peloton app. You can try them (and all the classes) free for 60 days with my link: 👉 60 Days Free on Peloton✨ Stay connected:Subscribe to my Substack 💻 coriesenia.substack.comLet’s connect on Instagram ✨ @corieseniaShow your love ☕️ buymeacoffee.com/corieseniaEverything all in one place 🌿 msha.ke/coriesenia

Wholeness Over Separation: Moving Toward My One True Self
Hey it's Corie! You can now send me a text! With a comment or question that I can address on the next episode xoxThis week, I'm basking in the afterglow of a full, rich week of IRL connection and community. My cup is brimming, and it’s reminded me how essential it is to be seen—not just in parts, but in whole.In this episode, I share a personal update: I'm stepping away from the @peoplepleaser.pod Instagram and moving toward a more integrated identity as @coriesenia. I unpack why I once felt the need to separate my passions, hobbies, and projects from my “real” self—and why I no longer want to keep those parts of me optional or compartmentalized.This is about choosing wholeness, complexity, and honesty. About showing up fully—as one self, not many.Subscribe to my Substack 💻 https://coriesenia.substack.com/Let’s connect on Instagram ✨ @corieseniaShow your love ☕️ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/coriesenia
