Raw Conversations with Corinne Blum

We don’t like to talk about the messy parts of being human because we’ve been taught and told to believe that there are “good” parts of us and “bad” parts of us—which is totally untrue. We’ve been told we need to be perfect, happy and positive all the time. That some emotions and states of being are positive and others are negative and to stay well away from the “negative” ones. But in doing so, we neglect, reject and abandon ourselves.

If we want to feel liberated and at peace with ourselves, we have to accept our entire humanity—messy parts included.

The only way out is through. Pain is the portal. Your triggers are the alert systems that are there to get your attention to turn towards yourself and go deeper within yourself to the places that are hurting and need your loving attention.

There is no human on this planet that doesn’t have triggers, insecurities, fears, needs, desires and tender places within themselves….We’re human and therefore we’re vulnerable and that’s totally ok.

The intention of doing the inner work is not to fix you because something is wrong with you, it’s to make the unconscious conscious so that you are no longer at the mercy of your triggers, limiting beliefs and wounds. We do the inner work so that we can respond rather than react and become the co-creators of our lives rather than the victim to our lives.

You’re not alone. There’s nothing wrong with you there’s only a story that perpetuates your suffering. So let’s talk about it so that we, together, can move through it and recognise along the way, that you are loveable, significant, worthy and perfect, just as you are.

If we want to change the world we have to change ourselves but changing ourselves doesn’t mean that we’re not good enough as we are. It just means that we need to drop into our heart and fall into love and the way to do that is by accepting our entire humanity.

We do have the power to change the world. All it would require would be to drop into our hearts and raise our frequency but the challenge getting there collectively, is that we have to embody it first and we can’t embody it fully if we’re still judging ourselves and believing that we’re not good enough.

You don’t have to be “high vibe” by pretending, or acting, or behaving positively all the time. If you drop into your heart and become loving, kind, compassionate and patient with yourself—most especially when you are experiencing challenging emotions (that are not bad but rather messengers alerting you to something that needs your loving attention)—the more able you’ll be able to show up in the world in a more heart-centered, loving, tolerant and compassionate way.

In this episode I talk about why humanity is being called to drop into heart, the power of frequency and why it’s so important to give focus to it WITHOUT spiritually bypassing, and how like attracts like. And of course more…

I’ve learned that humility is such a key part of being human and embracing our humanity—all of it.

That the more I soften, surrender, trust and remain curious, the more life flows. The deeper and more connected our relationships become. The more easeful this experience becomes even when things get tough—because they inevitably will and do get tough at times.

The more you know, you realise you know nothing. But knowing doesn’t come from the mind alone. It’s a knowing on all levels of being: mental, embodied, emotional, energetic. And knowing nothing just means that we gather wisdom but remain childlike in our inquisitiveness to hunger for more learning.

We’re learning how to have this human experience and humility allows us to explore it without judgment, without good and bad and right and wrong. With humility, we stop fighting ourselves and others, trying to prove how right we are and how hell bent we are at holding onto our reality.

So much beautify arises when we soften, let go of being right, take self responsibility and be humble enough in our approach to life to sometimes say, “I’m sorry, I got that wrong, let me see and learn this from a new angle.”

Be curious like a child. Forever learning. Forever growing. Neither right nor wrong but remaining in that inquisitive in-between where everything happens.

Cultivating self-awareness is really the starting point to this journey of getting to know yourself. Without self-awareness we’re at the mercy of our lives and unconscious behaviours, which include our triggers, traumas, wounding, limiting self-beliefs etc. Without self-awareness we’ll continue to replicate the same patterns of behaviour, the same dynamics of relationship, not much will really change because we’re not in the driver’s seat of our lives. Life is happening to us instead of through us, as they say.

Think of it like this: You have been moving through life with a flashlight. You can only see as much as that flashlight illuminates within the narrow tunnel of light that it encompasses. Self-awareness is turning on the light. All of a sudden you see so much more of what is around you that was once in the dark. At first, yes, you will see all the clutter but at least now you have the choice to “clean it up” and make the space what you want it to be rather than remaining in the dark where you keep on bumping up and stubbing your toe on god knows what, but it bloody well hurts every time that you do!

Cultivating self-awareness is the first step to ultimately feeling free within yourself. You become the witness, the observer, of your experience and within that space between yourself and life, you get to choose how you respond (vs react) to life as it arises. Hopefully all of this is held in the container not just of awareness, but of love.

We all resist at times. We resist our experience, how we’re feeling, our pain and discomfort. But the more we resist, the greater our state of tension becomes. The more we resist, the more layers of density we build up over time. And the more layers we cake on, the more afraid we become, which in turn makes us resist more. It becomes a vicious cycle.

We want to be in a state of relaxation—which doesn’t mean always being happy, btw. It means being at peace with our current experience. In order to be in a state of relaxation however, we have to allow our present experience. We have to soften into it and surrender and ultimately trust the process of being human and this experience that we’re living out.

In this episode I go into how to meet our point of resistance, how to return to love and how you’ll discover your liberation and meet the greatest gift on the other side, which is to be uniquely you, in this lifetime!

Relationship is such a vast topic, rich with content. Whether you’re single longing to be in relationship, or are in a partnership, relationship can be a central focus of our lives.

When talking about relationship the immediate question is: what is our relationship to relationship? Which basically means, what is our relationship to love and attachment?

Relationship is an amazing catalyst for healing. It will trigger the crap out of us, but it equally provides us with the opportunity to heal because much of our wounding/trauma happened within the context of relationship (beginning with our mother and father).

It’s a deep topic with no particular answer but perhaps a few points of inquiry. The invitation: start having the honest conversation with yourself. What do you long for? What scares you? What blocks you from fully being loved?

We all have intuition and both an inner and outer guidance system that supports us. We’ve just been living in a culture that has pulled us so far away from ourselves, our centre and therefore our amazing abilities that we innately have.

We have incredible tools and support systems to lean upon—or better said: engage with—within and around ourselves. But we’ve got to start getting curious and be willing to the explore deeper, vaster parts of ourselves.

We primarily live in the left hemisphere of our brain and the neocortex thinking/speaking mind, at that. There is a whole other hemisphere to explore as well as our two other centres of intelligence: the heart and the gut. Then there is our being, our energetic body and our emotional body that offer so much wisdom and intuition.

In this episode I share some personal experiences of how my intuition has communicated with me and what you can do to begin to connect, listen and be in conversation with your own.

You want to get life “right.”

You’re afraid to make a mistake and make a wrong turn

And end up in a place you didn’t expect to arrive to.

But life doesn’t happen along one road

There is no destination

And there are no wrong turns.

Because life is a series of experiences

Like one bead strung after the next.

You cannot get this wrong.

There are infinite roads and infinite opportunities

And it is your free will that will decide which path you choose to explore.

Stop being so hard on yourself.

Stop measuring were you should be.

You are walking the path

And all that is asked of you

Is that you stay present.

The pressure of purpose…

I kind of wish I had never been told that I was special, or talented, or that I would do great things on a grand scale because expectation gets tied into that and pressure comes out of expectation.

But what creates pressure around purpose?

Is it our lack of self-worth trying to prove something?

Is it society’s constant dangling of the carrot in front of our noses saying we’re not enough until we achieve more?

Or is it the knowing of our soul’s mission that relentlessly pushes us towards our potential?

Maybe it’s all three and more. I don’t have the answer but I can offer a conversation around so that maybe you feel less alone under your own pressure.

I almost didn’t want to record today as I was feeling tired, a bit low, periody and like I wasn’t sure what I could even offer from that place.

But then I thought, there is no better moment to talk about self-worth when I myself am feeling down and having a conversation with my self-worth.

When we’re feeling down, many of us feel (or have felt in the past) alone with our experience. Because our society isn’t one to say: yes, welcome, we can include that.

It has us wait for when we’re fine, happy, positive, successful. And yet the irony is, that society simultaneously will tell us that we’re not good enough as we are.

Let’s talk about self-worth and how it doesn’t come through just when we’re happy and positive and on a high, it’s actually most needed when we’re feeling down and on a low.

It comes in with love and says: it’s okay, I’m here for you, I love you no matter what. Even if you’re huddled up on the couch feeling all shitty, I’m here for you. I’m not going anywhere. I’m here.

But self-worth also let’s us know we don’t need to play out that story or go down that hole because why do we need to hurt ourselves like that? Why do we need to suffer unnecessarily? The discomfort is enough as it is. Just stay with that.

In this episode I talk about self-worth, how the healing process ebbs and flows and how all we’re asked to do, is to just stay with ourselves with loving presence, to hold our own hand, as we walk through this crazy ride we call life.
