Episode 86

86 – Corey Hilton : take the layers of the past off to liberate your mind

Published on: 11th January, 2022

I’m joined by Corey Hilton, a Canadian author and introspective influencer on self-worth, in this episode. Like many of us, he struggled with self-worth from childhood experiences that left him with feelings of rejection and abandonment. Yet, as a young adult, he found himself invited into the world of exotic male dancing. You, like me, might be wondering how does a guy with these emotional challenges find himself revealing it all. Corey shares how he created a persona to carry him through the performances.

Not surprisingly, Corey found himself years later discovering the struggle of his two polar opposite personalities. It’s not unlike the challenge we can face in our own lives, acting confidently at work while failing in our marriage and parenting. Yet, through Corey’s journey, he was able to shed the layers he’d built over the years, to lay his soul bare and discover who he truly is, not just who others have told him he was. In our conversation, Corey opens up on how he’s made courageous decisions and actions to delve further into what is true and shed the false stories he’s believed about himself and life.

About the Podcast

Living Fearless Today
Helping men break generational cycles, heal the father wound, and become a better husband and dad.
You swore you'd be a different kind of father than the one who raised you. Then one day you caught his words and tone coming out of your mouth. You felt the same distance creep in at home, and wondered how much of him you're still carrying despite the promise you made to yourself.

Living Fearless Today is a podcast for men who are done repeating the patterns they grew up with. Host Mike Forrester has stood where you're standing. Every week he brings honest conversations and practical tools for the parts of a man's life that rarely get said out loud: the father wound you never named, the anger that shows up with the people you love most, the marriage that's gone quiet, and the man you still want to become.

The show helps you understand the past that shaped you. Then you take an honest look at where you stand today as a husband, a father, and a man. From there you start building the future you actually want, one choice at a time, instead of drifting into the one you were handed and currently living out.

Episodes cover identity, anger, shame, marriage and fatherhood, relationships, self-worth, courage, emotional intelligence, legacy and purpose, and the brotherhood that the vast majority of men are missing. If you've looked for how to break generational cycles, face a father wound, handle anger as a dad, or become a better husband and father, start here.

The cycle can end with you. Press play and take the first step toward becoming the man you needed when you were young.
