When you CAN'T SAY NO, you get to say HOW, which is saying YES.

cory3wing Thorell is a Certified Magnetic Mind Method Creation Coach.

With training in NLP, Neuroscience, Epigenitics, the Silva Ultramind, and the Circle Way, cory3wing works one on one, in private focus groups, teaches globally, and presents workshops and online events.

For the last 35 years, Cory has been creating, designing, building and touring the world with large scale professional show business, making fantastical dreams into amazing stories.

The same process of creating at a massive scale applies to ourselves.

Creating is what we all do non stop with every breath we take, with every thought we feel. Everyone of us is already a master of creation, as we create what has our focus.

Mindset and consciousness awareness is the key to the lock on your life. Making the switch from running away from what is uncomfortable to flowing toward what you want to create is that golden key.

The LEARN~DO~TEACH model is the foundation of the human journey and sets the path for making lasting change in our lives..

Dreaming the Dream is the first step. How do you know what you want to create without a good place to begin?

With a clear vision of what you want, a plan of action can be made.

With a good dream, and a plan, setting your values in place at a high bar will keep you in alignment to actually move toward really creating.

Staying in alignment with your creator energy and perspective, especially when your old beliefs and habits pop up, is key to your success.

Understanding your resistance to your desires, and removing that resistance so you can flow toward your dream coming true is the work of the Magnetic Mind Method.

Everyone needs a coach, for we can not see our own blind spots.

To keep yourself in alignment with your values, to replay the dreaming of the dream, to remove resistance to that dream, and to manifest your true choices, work with a certified coach.

Born in 1998 in Geneva, Switzerland, Pauline started dancing at the age of 5. She trained at l’École de danse de Genève under the direction of Patrice Delay and Sean Wood. At 15 y/o she joined the Ballettschule Theater Basel in Switzerland under the direction of Amanda Bennett, where she formed herself professionally in both classical and contemporary. During these three years Pauline had the chance to experience choreographic work from Richard Wherlock, George Balanchine, Heinz Spoerli and Armando Braswell.
In 2016, Pauline graduated and found her first job at Delattre Dance Company in Mainz, Germany. For three years she danced works from numerous choreographers, including Kaloyan Boyadjiev, Mohammad Sufri Juwahir, Connor Scott, Sharon Vazana, Can Arslan and Stephen Delattre. She was given the opportunity to tackle the role of Esmerelda in the ballet « Notre-Dame de Paris » by Stephen Delattre.
In August 2019, Pauline moved to Paris and started working as a freelance artist. She quickly found work in the production “the red shoes” choreographed by Tamara Fernando and the Paris Opera Ballet star Marie-Agnès Gillot, an adventure that brought her to the iconic stage of the “Folies Bergère”.
She has also spent time broadening her experience, working in different fields of dance including TV, commercials, and music videos for various music artists. Always inspired by art in general, she has been collaborating with a student from Paris’ Design School for a dance video project.

In this episode Josh and I dive into what it means to be an artist in the SLC Community. How the art scene is mostly discovered through word of mouth and what it takes to persevere through the tougher moments of being a musician. Josh found the piano at the age of nineteen by being inspired by other artists of the LA community such as; AJ Rafael, Tori Kelly, TJ Brown, and Moses Sumney. Josh was ready for a change of scenery and came to Utah to help Church & State with their musical aspects within the church. Oblivious to the Mormon religion and what he was walking into with the lack of artistic diversity in the Salt Lake scene, soon Josh found his path that guided him to receive some mentoring from a local piano professor Courtney Smith. Courtney helped Josh move past the critiques and taught him to feel more when he is playing. Josh has brought diversity to the Salt Lake Community in such a powerful and vulnerable way. He expresses himself with the utmost honesty and I believe helps others feel more comfortable with expressing themselves. Josh has become a fashion icon in this city as well and talks about the importance of the way we dress ourselves, and how that builds confidence. How our clothing choice can be an artistic movement rather than an entitled one. Volunteering shows for the YWCA and Rape Recovery Center are a big part of the Joshy Soul brand with giving back to the community and shedding light on the non-profit organizations that need our help. And lastly a quote I took away from our conversation, “ Talent means nothing, but be good at what you do. Have confidence. If you have worth within yourself hold on to it. Your heart and your Vibe speak louder than your talent.” I hope this episode will offer you some wisdom.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/17771032Mon, 29 Apr 2019 06:00:10 +0000Chelsea KeeferJosh Strauther more commonly known in the Salt Lake community, as Joshy Soul has become a close friend of mine over the past four years.
