Hi, I’m Cory. I’m an author, coach, teacher, and influencer from Austin, Texas.
I help people slow down, wake up, and reconnect with the tools they were born with. Awareness, breath, presence, reflection, and intention.
My work is about creating space. Between stimulus and response. Between thought and action. Between urgency culture and your inner truth.
When you create that space, you stop reacting to life and start choosing. That’s where power begins.
Slowing down isn’t weakness. It’s clarity. It’s courage. It’s how you disrupt old patterns, reconnect with what matters, and finally live like your time actually matters.
Everything you need is already inside you. I just help you access it — and act on it.
