Today we’d like to introduce you to Cory Thorell.
Hi Cory, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
Hello there! I’m Cory Thorell, your guide to Insight, Creativity, and Life Coaching. My story unfolds from the dramatic stages of world-class theatres to the intimate heart of personal transformation, all leading to a calling centered on one powerful mantra: Saying “YES” to yourself.
In my early career, I spent over 35 years immersed in the vibrant world of show business, collaborating with some of the finest theatre, opera, and ballet companies. As a designer, builder, and performer, I manifested artistic dreams into reality, facing the challenging question of “how” with every unconventional vision. Each opening night bore witness to the magic of making the impossible possible.
However, behind the curtain of professional success, I grappled with feelings of unworthiness in my personal life. I struggled to harness the power of manifestation for myself, believing I needed to “fix” myself before I could find happiness. My journey toward self-love and acceptance began when the call for change became irresistible.
I plunged into a transformative journey, armed with personal development courses, business and computer training, meditation, and morning rituals. Though challenging and often overwhelming, this path gifted me with insights that fueled my determination.
My personal “Switchcraft Moment” was the breakthrough that changed everything. I realized my focus on what was broken in my life was amplifying my shadow self and stifling positive growth. Shifting this focus marked the beginning of my return to my authentic self. I learned to love myself enough to prioritize my needs, and I understood that there was nothing to fix. By surrendering the search for flaws, I was free to channel my energy into creating a life I truly love.
Inspired by my transformation, I turned my focus toward helping others experience their breakthroughs. In the past six years, I founded CorytimeCoaching and became a Certified Super Conscious Recode Coach with The Conscious Education Company, a Certified Life Coach with Mindvalley, a certified meditation coach, and a Circle Way Facilitator. I also hosted a 1-year Coaching Mastery Program to train the next generation of life coaches.
Today, I work with businesses, groups, and individuals interested in fostering a Positive Mindset, tapping into their Intuition, accessing their Genius, and committing to personal and group growth. As the founder of premier personal transformation courses like The Dream Intending Experience, The Choose Joy Workshop, and Real Talk Wednesdays, I offer platforms for people to explore and manifest their dreams.
I’ve also crafted a comprehensive 14-session individual self-growth journey called Switchcraft Forward. This program offers a structured pathway to self-discovery and positive transformation, allowing participants to navigate their unique path toward a life they truly love.
As a former theatre artist turned life coach, I use the skills honed on the world stage and my journey to help others find their own “Switchcraft Moments.” By helping individuals and groups say “YES” to themselves, we together create a symphony of self-love, acceptance, and joy. That’s my story, and I’m excited to assist you in shaping yours.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
As I journeyed further into self-discovery and transformation, an unexpected challenge arose – the shift in my relationships. As I began to resonate at a higher vibration, I found that this new energy often repelled those who were closest to me, particularly those still entrenched in their suffering.
It’s a difficult reality to face but hurt people often hurt other people. As my mindset shifted and my energy elevated, I noticed the friction this caused within my circle. Instead of support and encouragement, I faced derision and ridicule. I was shunned, made fun of, sabotaged, and even betrayed by the people I was closest to. The pain of this rejection was a sharp sting, compounding the already heavy burden of personal struggle I was born with.
This isolation and misunderstanding deepened my suffering. I felt a profound sense of loneliness as if I was navigating an obscure path alone. Yet, it was this same pain that fuelled my determination to continue my search. I recognized that while these experiences were heart-wrenching, they were also shaping my resilience and resolve.
In retrospect, this phase of my journey was one of the toughest. I was grappling not only with my inner struggles but also with the external challenges of misunderstood transformation. However, it was also during this period that I gained invaluable insights about empathy, resilience, and the importance of staying true to one’s journey, even in the face of adversity.
These experiences taught me the harsh reality of personal growth – it often distances us from those not ready or willing to grow themselves. It solidified my understanding that each individual’s journey is deeply personal and unique, and not everyone will understand or support it. And in that realization, I found the courage to move forward, equipped with an even stronger determination to transform my life and help others do the same.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about CorytimeCOACHING, Corytime Global Outreach, LLC?
As the founder of Corytime Global Outreach, LLC, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to delve into the rich and diverse tapestry of human experiences across history and geography. One of our fundamental values is the acknowledgment and celebration of our shared humanity. No matter where we come from or what language we speak, our emotional experiences are strikingly similar – everyone’s love feels inviting, and everyone’s pain hurts deeply.
I have a strong interest in Cultural Anthropology and Folklore, finding great wisdom in the stories and traditions passed down through generations across cultures. These shape-shifting stories, often laced with universal truths and shared human experiences, have profound healing power. They allow us to see ourselves reflected in others, fostering empathy and connectedness.
Moreover, these ancient narratives serve as a rich source of insight for my work as a life coach. I employ the power of storytelling in my coaching methodology, using it as a tool to help clients navigate their journeys of transformation.
Adding to this unique approach, I utilize intuition training and positive mindset practices. These are supplemented by my knowledge of the science of transformation, all of which form an integrative toolbox designed to assist my clients in manifesting the life they truly desire.
At the core of my approach is the belief in the power of choice and intention. I guide my clients in rediscovering their capacity to daydream, to envision a future that aligns with their deepest desires. This vision then forms the basis for a fierce, actionable plan designed to manifest that desired reality. We are not just about dreaming; we are about turning those dreams into our lived reality.
Corytime Global Outreach, LLC is built upon the understanding that our emotions and desires transcend cultural and geographic boundaries. We celebrate the shared human experience and use it as a powerful tool for transformation. Through this work, we hope to inspire our clients to realize that they are more alike with others than different, and in doing so, they can connect deeply with their shared humanity and their unique potential.
Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
The COVID-19 crisis has been an unprecedented event in our lifetime, a global pandemic that has profoundly affected every aspect of our lives. Through these challenging times, I’ve learned some important and interesting lessons that have reshaped my perspective and work in many ways.
One of the most significant lessons has been seeing the profound interconnectedness of our world. We saw clearly that the health and well-being of one person, one community, and one country, are intrinsically linked to the health and well-being of all. This understanding deepened my appreciation for the universality of our human experiences and emotions, reinforcing the philosophy at the core of Corytime Global Outreach, LLC.
Another critical lesson I’ve learned is the importance of resilience and adaptability. The crisis brought an unprecedented level of uncertainty and change. However, it also highlighted the incredible capacity of individuals and communities to adapt, to find new ways of living, working, and connecting.
The crisis also underscored the value of emotional well-being and mental health. As people grappled with isolation, anxiety, and loss, the need for tools to manage and navigate these emotions became more important than ever. It reinforced my commitment to my work, reminding me of the profound impact that positive mindset practices, intuitive development, and personal transformation coaching can have.
Finally, the crisis underscored the importance of empathy and compassion. In a time of great suffering and fear, acts of kindness and solidarity emerged as a beacon of hope. As a life coach, it underscored the power of empathy in my work, reminding me of the importance of creating safe, supportive spaces for my clients.
Overall, the COVID-19 crisis has been a stark reminder of our shared humanity and the power of resilience, adaptability, and empathy. These lessons have deepened my commitment to my work at Corytime Global Outreach, LLC, reinforcing the values and principles at its core.
