Welcome to a special episode from the archives. Before The Queer Confidence Podcast, I had a podcast called Becoming Brave. It was filled with awesome content over the corse of 2020. When I rebranded, I took down the old episodes. But I got a strong tug to re-release this episode for you all. It's a BILLIANT one. And something tells me that one of you really needs to hear from Corey about how he overcame his negative self talk.I'll be doing more of these bonus From The Archives episodes in the future. I don't have a plan for when, just whenever my soul gets a tug. So to make sure you're subscribed if you want to see them when they launch.-------Today I have a special guest with me.Corey Spade and I have been friends through Instagram for about a year now, and 4 months ago I started coaching him.On our first consultation he told me “I’m garbage and I don’t think you can help me.” He was deep in self loathing.Now 4 month later, he is standing up for himself at work, looking in the mirror with love for his body, and beginning plans for opening his own restaurant. He’s on FIRE!I’m beyond proud of him and so excited for you to hear his words of advice today. In this episode Corey shares about:Coming back from hitting rock bottomTurning around self loathingOvercoming body shameBeing a gay kid growing up in a conservative householdAnd freedom from people pleasingThis is a value PACKED episode. I’m so thankful to Corey for his vulnerability.
