On this episode of the To The Core Podcast, Corey goes deep with Randi Cutler Hall and her passion for bringing awareness to the grieving process and how embracing grief can lead to a more purposeful life.

Randi is a grief guide, therapist, and ritualist, and the founder of Realness Rising. Her work centers on creating honest, spacious, and embodied containers where grief is welcomed as a natural response to love and loss, and not something to fix or rush through. Drawing from lived experience, clinical training, and years of facilitating circles, Randi weaves together therapy, ritual, and community care to help people feel less alone in their grief. She is especially passionate about slowing down grief culture, honoring nonlinear healing, and making room for the many shapes grief takes in real life.

On this deep dive to the Core, Corey welcomes Ryan Arbeiter.

Ryan has walked a profound and multifaceted path shaped by both hardship and healing. His life journey includes experiences of youth homelessness, family addiction, alcoholism, brainwashing, and narcissistic environments. Alongside these challenges, Ryan has also encountered divine love, spiritual awakenings, deep trauma therapy, and some of the most meaningful friendships of his life.

These contrasts—raw struggle and powerful transformation—have fueled his passion to thrive and ultimately led him to dedicate his soul to nonprofit work.

Ryan brings a unique perspective to the often-blurred distinctions between being homeless and being unsheltered, emphasizing that each individual facing housing instability carries a story shaped by personal histories and circumstances. His commitment to understanding and illuminating these nuances reflects his drive to challenge public misconceptions and advocate for deeper compassion and awareness.

Today we dive "To the Core" with Elliot Tyler Hough, also known as Elijah Love. Elijah is a holistic mystic engaged in deep inquiry of esoteric mysteries.

His core practice is an integral approach to wisdom traditions, with the light spectrum serving as his primary orienting principle.

Through this exploration, he has studied a wide range of depthful wisdom traditions, including Alchemy, Shamanism, Tantra, and Zen, as well as having been influenced by a wide array of other perspectives, including indigenous traditions, modern sciences & a diverse array of somatic embodiment work.

Elijah is currently five years into a decade-long, self-guided course of  study on the resonance patterns that exist within the light spectrum. Through this work, he is developing tools designed to help himself and others come into greater harmony with the fractal soul of the universe.

You can connect with Elijah and his work through his website https://www.e8alchemy.xyz

Are you worthy of your suffering? How can you thrive when life feels doomed?

Whether you like it or not, all things will change, die, transform. It is up to you how you embrace this truth. Will you fight against the inevitable. Or will you see it as a gift to celebrate a new vision?

It's your choice and responsibility to remember who you really are and what you're capable of. Join Corey on his first auditory journal experience as a reminder to himself and others what it means to be in our bodies at this time in history.
