In this conversation, Cedric sits down with writer and mindfulness teacher Cory Allen to unpack the inner work most of us avoid — control, fear, bravery, intuition, and what it really means to feel your feelings. Together they explore how childhood conditioning shapes adulthood, why so many of us mistake control for safety, how “small-t” traumas compound over time, and why looking inward is often the hardest step toward becoming the person you want to be.
