Raw Conversations with Corinne Blum

False Intimacy, The Illusion Of Closeness & Other Pitfalls Of Online Dating & What To Do I’m finally recording a podcast on the illusions of online dating that set people up for heartbreak because I’ve seen too many of both my clients and friends that have fallen into the trap of false intimacy. Getting to know someone takes and deserves time and it 100% requires meeting each other in person. There is a lot of projection, fantasy and the building of false trust, connection and intimacy that can happen when people get stuck in the texting phase of dating apps. So in this episode I talk about the pitfalls of dating apps and what to do to make them work for you so that you’re taking care of yourself and building genuine connection rather than false projection.

We all have archetypes within us and parts of us that we identify with, but when we over identify with these aspects and make them into “I Am” that….our field of vision narrows and we stop seeing life “objectively” but subjectively, according to the identity and narrative of that archetype. If we can observe ourselves from the outside, disidentifying with these parts and witnessing them instead, we feel more liberated, less shackled to the suffering of that given archetype and more empowered as our true Authentic Self that lies beyond any of our parts and our personality, itself.

What is sovereignty? To me it’s the true ‘I Am’ of the essence of my being. My soul. My Authentic Self. After thousands of years of being removed from our sovereignty, as we experience the old, crumbling and the new emerging, sovereignty must find itself at the core of building new paradigms in order for us to evolve. We’re moving through it both individually and collectively. It’s guiding us to come out of co-dependency (which is why relationships are being so affected at the moment both for singles and couples), out of top down authority, out of competition and into collaboration, interdependence and genuine self and collective empowerment. We might be riding these waves for years to come so how do we navigate surfing the ebb and flow? And how do we root and center ourselves in sovereignty as we, together, create a new future embodied in authenticity?Tune in for more…Loving you from afar, Corinne Want to work 1-1 with me?

We’re moving through the chaos of collective transition and whether you’re experiencing it on an individual level or not, we’re feeling more and more how interconnected we are and therefore will feel the affect of whatever the collective is moving through. With that said, how do we move through our own personal challenges? How do we feel ok when we don’t feel ok?So much of this journey back home to our Authentic Self is about presence. It’s about staying with ourselves. No longer abandoning, rejecting or neglecting but sitting with ourselves as we would want our best friend to. Just listening. Just holding space with love. Just being here so that we know that we’re not alone in it all. I believe one of our greatest missions in life is to fully love and accept ourselves. ALL of ourselves—which means our entire humanity, which means all of our feelings, thoughts and experiences. As I often speak to, it’s about releasing judgment by way of alchemising it through love. We’re learning that we are powerful alchemists but we cannot transmute what we do not accept and acknowledge as something that exists in this moment. Bypassing is a form of denial. Suppression or distraction are other forms of denial. We cannot change what we deny. We’re being asked to be brave. We’re being invited to be kind. We’re being brought into such a hyper real present moment and asked to simply stay. We will always, always move through the hard times. Change is the only constant. But being with the pain and discomfort, redefining even, what these mean to us, and discovering the things that nurture us in the process, all become invaluable tools to being ok with not being ok, if you get what I mean.

I believe every one of us wants to be who we truly are. We want to metaphorically let our belly hang out and be comfortable just being us; knowing that we won’t be judged or rejected or ridiculed. But most of the time we do our own judging. Most of the time it’s us who doesn’t trust our inner authority and intuition. Who criticises and shames. Judgment is most certainly the biggest block I’ve seen along the path back home to our Authentic Self. That judgment is hugely influenced by society’s judgment which includes all the shoulds and shouldn’ts of who we ought to be. The rest perhaps cames from childhood and how we perceived ourselves within our family dynamic. And maybe some of it is down to how we’re wired. But no matter, if we want to be free, happy, at peace and at ease with ourselves, we have to really get that it’s ok to be who we are. No, matter, what…In this episode I look at the face of judgment, the curiosity required to understand the parts of us we’d rather hide away, and how confidence is just being comfortable with who we are. It’s ok to be you. It truly is. Tune in for more…Loving you from afar, Corinne Want to work 1-1 with me? Visit my website and book a session.

From Hope To Trust To Faith To Knowing: The Path Back Home To Our PowerI’ve observed this trajectory from hope to trust to faith to knowing, over the past nearly five years as we move through these evolutionary, chaotic and enlightening times. I’ve observed it and felt it within myself, too. In this episode I talk about the energetic states and embodiment of this trajectory and how when we move through each one, we move closer towards ourselves and into our innate power. This period in history is a returning home, a homecoming by way of remembering who we truly are and have always been. But part of that is the peeling back and crumbling of the old. We’ve been made to feel powerless and infantile for thousands of years. We’ve forgotten our power and we’ve been given and shown a very bad and misconstrued example of what power is. But we’re in the midst of changing and redefining that. The more we land back into ourselves, the more rooted we become, the more empowered we feel. It’s a process, a journey and an evolution. But all of it is moving towards ourselves and in. Into the remembering of our true, most authentic Self. Tune in for more… Loving you from afar, Corinne Want to work 1-1 with me?

In times of great change, a lot of letting go takes place. It’s a kind of death before the rebirth. The winter before the spring. And though letting go in essence is simple, it’s not always easy. Letting go takes great courage. It takes the willingness to be able to loosen the grip on our identity, on the reality we once knew, sometimes, our very idea of existence itself. So, letting go requires gentleness, patience, kindness and a softness. Sometimes even, a sense of humour. There is no doubt that we are both collectively and individually being asked to let go. So how can we do it with grace? With courage? And with resilience…Tune in for more…Loving you from afar, Corinne Want to work 1-1 with me? Visit my website and book a session.

It can feel hard to change our behaviour because a lot of the time it’s unconscious and we may feel at the mercy of our reactions. But behaviour is just habit. The hard part of kicking a habit though is how that part of us is identified with itself. It doesn’t want to change because change means death and it doesn’t want to be killed off so it gets stubborn. So the process is one that requires compassion, patience and gentleness for the parts of us that are attached and habituated to being a certain way. In this episode I go into the steps of changing our behaviour by making different choices along the way. How to gently bring in the observer and how to create enough space for us to dis-identify with that particular part so we can move towards our own evolution and come into greater coherence with who we truly are (our Authentic Self).

Is it death that we’re afraid of or the pain we imagine associated with death? What would life look from an expansive view not just as your human self but your soul Self? When you look through the lens of infinite immortal existence rather than the finite nature of human mortality…Having a micro lens along with the micro can be helpful in times of chaos. To not get caught up in only the day to day but to expand into the larger view of why we’re even here and who we truly are. In this episode I explore, contemplate and question what life looks like from the view of expansion and how to hold both the micro and the macro, the human and the soul, simultaneously.

We have this false belief that as humans we are innately flawed, broken or at worst, even sinful. If this is our belief, it makes sense that we are out of coherence, balance and harmony with ourselves, one another and life itself. It makes sense that we feel broken and fragmented when we’ve been told certain parts of us are ok and valuable and others are not ok and deemed weak. Coming into coherence is coming into alignment with all parts of ourselves. Where heart, head, gut are in alignment. Feelings and thoughts are in alignment. And ALL parts have a seat at the table.This evolution in humanity is about integration. Moving from fragmentation to wholeness—which is our natural state of being. There’s nowhere to go. There’s no-one that you need to become outside and beyond yourself, or to “improve” who you are so that you are finally worthy and good enough. It’s a free ticket to venture inside yourself. But we need to drop the false belief that we’re broken and that there are parts of us that need getting rid of. Instead, all parts get a voice. All feelings deserve respect. All parts that make up our entirety, deserve a seat at the table and an equal share of the meal. We don’t need to improve. If anything we just need to strip back the layers of who we were told we should and shouldn’t be, so that we can access and return home to our natural selves. And our natural state is one of harmony, balance and coherence. We don’t need to learn this, we simply need to remember it.So the invitation is to recognise where do you exclude parts of yourself? If there was nothing wrong with these parts, could you include them with greater compassion? Could you even love them too? Tune in for more…Loving you from afar, Corinne Want to work 1-1 with me?

This period of ascension or evolution in consciousness for humanity is about integration. In order to come home and return to wholeness we must integrate all parts of us and recognise that we are not only a part of all things but that all things are a part of us. It begins with integrating all parts within us, chiefly beginning with emotions because this is where we most severe ourselves from ourselves. The process might look like integrating all emotions, then integrating nature as us rather than something other than us, and eventually integrating our cosmic selves with our human selves. But the journey always begins with a seed. It begins with acceptance and through acceptance we soften enough to hold all things through inclusion and compassion vs judgment. We must individuate before we can see one another as one and of the One. It might seem ironic that the more we individuate, the more in tune with one another we become, but authenticity holds an incredibly high frequency and when we’re in that resonance that represents our true selves, we cannot NOT feel connected to others and all that is because we not only see but feel that we are all cut from the same fabric. This is our evolution: inwards and upwards. Tune in for more…Loving you from afar, CorinneWant to work 1-1 with me?

We’ve long since been disconnected from ourselves through a fragmentation that occurred when we severed ourselves from the feminine within. We shifted primarily into the left brain and threw ourselves off kilter. If we look to the world, we can see the consequence of living off centre. But we can also look to the way in which people are still suffering, still in judgment, still feeling less whole and unworthy and see that we’re not a society at peace with itself. If we want to change the world, if we want to find peace, the journey there is, in. As Aslan said in the final book of Narnia, “further in and further up.” If we want to ascend, we must go into ourselves first. We must return home. We must remember who we truly are. This is a period of integration. Bringing together left and right brain. Masculine and feminine. Connecting head brain with heart brain with gut brain. Then, and only then, will we come back to our true nature. Will we restore balance and therefore restore our innate abilities. It’s no longer a time to seek outside of ourselves. The answer won’t be out there like they made you believe it would be. It’s inside of you and all you need to do is be still, be quiet, stay and listen. This is a homecoming. This is a liberation. I’ll keep preaching it because it’s the most important thing we can do in this moment in history, if we want to change the trajectory of humanity and find wholeness, peace and joy once more.

We’ve been living in a construct made by, with and through fear. In it, we’ve created all sorts of realities through the mind, unfortunately influenced by the state of fear and lack and therefore a feeling of not being whole or good enough but unworthy, instead. We’ve been homeless and homesick as we’ve been pulled further and further from ourselves. Now is the homecoming. Now is the coming back to who we truly are not by discovering something new, but by remembering what has always been here. That which we’ve always had access to. That which was never outside of us but always inside of us. The way out of the chaos is by going in. If we seek for ourselves, or God, or home, outside of ourselves, we get thrown into the outeskirts of the storm along with the flying cow and the missing bathtub all pulled in circles in the outer rim of the tornado. The way out of the chaos is into the eye of the storm. To the still point. So the invitation is to go in. To sit in presence, in stillness and go into our hearts. Our heart is the portal. It’s the doorway back home to our soul essence and to the source of all that is. It is the pathway back to love. But sometimes the path back there requires us to walk through all that we deemed scary or shameful. We can’t circumvent our humanity, we must walk through it, with it, recognising that by going in and towards it, we naturally alchemise darkness into light, fear into love, because everything transmutes when it’s accepted, held and included with love. Once we’ve arrived back home, we find the courage to live from an open heart, letting love back in. Feeling safe. Feeling loved. Feeling held by all that is.

How Are You Feeling? : The Return Of The Divine Feminine & The Art Of Emotional Intelligence As the divine feminine begins to be integrated back into our being, a lot can come up. One of the biggest things to note is feeling. How are you feeling? People might be experiencing more emotion, more sensation and feeling but if it’s unfamiliar territory, it might be confusing. What do you do with feeling if you haven’t learned the language of your emotional body yet? And how do you learn to embrace something if you’ve been told that it’s flawed, bad and makes you weak? The first step to integrating the feminine and walking towards emotional intelligence, is awareness. We have to shine the light on the shadow and see what we’ve been hiding. Then we have to allow it and look at it with curiosity NOT with judgment. Then comes the embracing and finally the loving. We’re learning new language here. We’re learning a new state of being. We’re recalibrating and creating equilibrium. But for some, it will be confusing and uncomfortable. Hopefully for many, it will be expanding and ultimately liberating as we drop into deeper aspects of ourselves and remember our own divinity.

Why are so many women single and what’s going on for men right now…?This is a big topic I can’t possibly fit into one episode but I talk about the masculine and feminine energies (which are not gender based), what might be going on for both women and men respectively right now, the confusion set by society and our journey back to equilibrium. It’s a vast subject but at the root if it all, we need to support each other right now more than ever, to move through the fog of confusion that’s being heavily placed upon us. We need to support one another in redefining old beliefs, constructs and paradigms of what being a woman and a man is, of what the healthy masculine and feminine is vs the unhealthy we’ve been living in. We need to support each other’s growth and evolution while passing through this demolition site of old crumbling paradigms. It’s an intense time of death and rebirth. Of old meeting the new with no example to show us the way. We are carving the path. So carve it with love and even if you’re waking through the dark, if you let heart lead, know that you can only be brought to a beautiful place. Let’s support each other and reclaim and reinstate harmony and equilibrium. Part of that journey however, will require us to let go of what is not in alignment with who we need to become in order to create the union we want to be a part of.

I didn’t realise until after recording, that this is my 100th episode! So I’m celebrating my own commitment to showing up weekly to have this ongoing raw conversation with you, and I’m in gratitude to all of you that show up with me, to listen and be a part of the conversation. I do not doubt that we are sitting together in this conversation on an energetic level. Thank you for being here with me. I truly appreciate it. This episode is a reflection of my own journey these near nine months. It feels fitting that the 100th episode and my checking in and reflecting, is occurring after a kind of natural gestation period of nine months. I speak about how I’ve shifted my centre of gravity from my head to my heart. From the paradigm of fear and trying to “figure out life” to a paradigm of radical trust, surrender and flow that happens by allowing the heart to lead. The heart has a magnetic field of 3 feet. The brain has an inch. It becomes clear which is the “power centre” of our being. Life still happens, we still feel varying emotions and the path continues to sometimes have bumps and turns. This journey travels through changing landscapes. But the difference is how we are along the journey. How we perceive it. What meaning we give it. What we believe and therefore see, along the way. These are my reflections of the journey from head to heart, from fear to trust, and stepping into the co-creation of a new paradigm and reality as I’ve shifted my centre of focus and dropped into a more harmonious state of being.

This is by far my longest episode yet. Something that really just poured through me and I stopped only when I knew it was time to stop (as I couldn’t see the length of time being recorded). I begin with a chuckle by saying that I shouldn’t be so arrogant to believe that I can end suffering. But the thing is, I’m a fellow traveller on this path too. We are both the master and the student, learning and evolving as we move through this wild experience of life. I genuinely believe we have played out the “evolving through suffering” card (we all have the t-shirt) and we’re ready to move on. To grow and evolve in other ways. Through joy. Through the alchemy of the duality we have just learned and grown through. From suffering to joy. From greed to generosity. From lack to gratitude etc. In this episode I talk about how we essentially can all make the choice to no longer suffer. But first we have to make the unconscious, conscious. To bring our behaviour into awareness so that we have the consciousness to make a choice, rather than being at the mercy of our habits, patterns, beliefs and the false identity that drives them all. I talk about the “steps” to releasing our suffering, as I’ve walked myself and continue to walk upon the path. I talk about walking each other back home to our authentic, sovereign, free Selves. About how to stop playing the game that pulls us further away from our inner home and from who we truly are. It goes deep and vast and as always, there’s invitation in it all, should you wish to take it. Should it resonate. Should it inspire you.

We’re being invited to come into being. To realise that all states, are not something to cerebrally figure out, but a state of being to drop into. We’re shifting our entire centre or gravity from the head to the heart. Enlightenment has perhaps many definitions but the most succinct I’ve come across is it is simply the state of being of unconditional love. In this episode I talk about what unconditional love truly is, the incredibly potent frequency of authenticity, the isness of truth and the simplicity of coming into being. The pathway is through feeling and embodiment and presence is our greatest guide there. What emerges through all of this is the awakening of our innate, magical, abilities that have simply been dormant. This is a time not just of awakening, but of remembering.

Why We Lose Faith In Hard Times & How To Hold Onto The Thread Of Light To Get You Through It’s easy to have faith when things are going well. It’s easy to love and accept ourselves when we’re feeling good about who we are. It’s easy to learn and grow when things are working out for us. But what about when life throws you a curve ball and things get tough? We have a tendency to lose faith when things get hard. We tend to throw out all of our tools and quickly drop our belief in ourselves, life, God, the Universe, whatever you choose to call it. But in hard times, in times of darkness, is when we need faith the most. Is when we need to call upon self love and acceptance and compassion the most. I think we lose faith when we don’t feel supported or held by life, God, Universe, because we’ve been conditioned to believe that “hard states” are bad or that somehow your life went wrong or that something or someone is punishing you. It’s easy to fall into the traps of victimhood. So how we do we hold onto the sliver of light that will keep us from drowning in our own despair? How do we see through the lens that life is happening for us and not to us? How do we feel held even when we feel alone? These are all questions I speak to in this week’s episode so tune in for more… Loving you from afar, Corinne Want to work 1-1 with me? Visit my website and book a session.

There’s nowhere you need to get to. There’s no one you need to become. There is in fact no future moment, only the here and now. We are unlearning the construct and paradigm of the future. Of some “it” moment that is going to bring greater fulfilment into your life. We’re unlearning goals and expectations. We’re unlearning that here isn’t enough and that you aren’t good enough unless you achieve something, attain something or become something to prove and validate your worth. Surrender is a portal to the present moment and the present moment is a portal to all creation where abundance naturally resides. All you have to do is be you. Authentically you. All you need to do is be here now and listen. It’s all an experience. Nowhere to get to. Nothing to “do,” only being. Only experiencing this wild life through the lens of your unique Self.
