Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Cori Stuart. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Cori, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. One of our favorite things to hear about is stories around the nicest thing someone has done for someone else – what’s the nicest thing someone has ever done for you?

I’d say the kindest thing anyone has done for me is to believe in my ability to run my own business and leave corporate life as a thing in the past.
Around 5 years ago or so I knew that I was called to be something more than an assistant and started to research being a full time healer and mentor, but was not certain that I would be able to replace my income with mindset mentorship programs and healing sessions and trainings, nor that I was qualified to be a leader in the field. At the time I was working for an individual who daily reminded me that I was not worthwhile and that I was perpetually falling short. Thankfully I was working with a coach who saw what I could not see within myself, that I was worthy and more than enough. I have since become a firm believer that although we may not always have belief in ourselves, we can utilize the faith of others as a catalyst. I am now honored to lend belief in others as their rebuild their self trust the way I rebuilt my own.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I serve as a heart based, holistic healer and mentor who assists individuals in soulful re-connection and self trust through releasing self-doubt, anxiousness and energetic blockages, utilizing the chakras as guides. I believe that life should be lived from the heart and am passionate about assisting others to no longer feel like a plus one within their own lives. I’m honored to share tools gathered through my life to assist others learn from my experience and seize the opportunities.
What sets me apart from others is my intuitive capacity to understand what my clients are going through, to be able to listen to their issues and desires and create a custom healing program for them. I have always enjoyed assisting individuals to learn from their past to create a healthier and more empowered future. I am most proud of being able to create a sacred space for individuals to connect with themselves for balance and sovereignty combining intellectual, energetic and physical tools.
I’ve been able to assist with life transition, anxiety & fatigue reduction, headache mitigation, and general balance. I’m excited to be able to offer mentorship through transitions and anxiety reduction in addition to in person and remote healing sessions. I also offer reiki infused crystals, oils and bath salt healing kits.
As a Usui Reiki Master, I am honored to teach the Usui Ryoho attunements of Level 1, 2, and Master. With Reiki Level 1 you are able to execute self care and it is something I am passionate about working with as many individuals as possible as I view this as an incredible asset in one’s self care tool kit.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

Other than training and knowledge what has been most helpful for my business growth has been leading my business from the heart and being my authentic, vulnerable, and empowered self. I have found that when I try to lead my business using tools and techniques which have been successful for others that if the tools do not resonate or feel genuine, I find myself stuck and my business stuck too.
However, when I lean into my gut and use tools which resonate, my business flourishes. I have found when I share vulnerable truths of having tough days or the tools which help me get through tough days, I get the best response. One of the best tools for connection, balance and healing which assists my growth is story sharing. When I ignore the advice of don’t share tears or don’t share the “tough or bad”, and share the tools which assist me to flip my perspective, I am truly able to connect with those around me.
Normally, the result is also individual respond with sharing their stories and us learning from each other. By sharing my stories, I also illustrate that I too have been through big life transitions which created anxiety, self-doubt or codependency but was able to learn and embody techniques to shift to my authentic and sovereign self.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

The biggest lesson I have unlearned is that we are supposed to do everything on our own, that asking for help is a weakness and not a superpower. This could not be further from the truth. The biggest way that I have been able to scale my business, and personal life, is by developing community and asking for assistance. One of the best ways to grow your visibility is to ask the folks around you to share your programs, products and refer your business/self. Side bonus is you get connected with other great businesses due to referrals to collaborate and learn through.
I think that most of my generation has been raised that true grit and strength means that you do not express emotions, you do not ask for assistance, you ignore gut instincts if something has to change, and you don’t rest until the project is complete. However, I believe this mindset is how we are exhausted, feeling stuck, and anxious. When we shift our perspective to asking for and being open to receiving assistance there are multiple results. First, we are able to come from a more balanced emotional and neurological state, which can lead to less brain fog and inflammation, and more focus and living life more empowered. Secondly, we encourage others to share their gifts and talents thereby empowering them too.
