My Conversation with Corey Lyon Folsom: Soul Statements for Communication, Empathy, and Inner Truth with Corey Lyon Folsom

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of self-doubt or struggled to communicate your true feelings? In my recent conversation with Corey Lyon Folsom, NLP practitioner, relationship coach, and author of Soul Statements: A Love Coach’s Guide to Successful Communication, we dove deep into the tools and practices that can transform your inner world and relationships. Corey’s unique approach to “soul statements” and self-honesty offers an inspiring way to ground yourself in truth and align with your best self.

What Are Soul Statements and Why Do They Matter?

Corey explained how soul statements are not just affirmations but grounded reminders of our unchanging truths. Unlike affirmations that focus on desired future states, soul statements bring you back to the present, helping you reconnect with the core of who you are.

Through his journey from a shy, people-pleasing childhood to becoming a sought-after relationship coach, Corey discovered the power of internal honesty. He shared how this practice helps you reframe negative self-talk, embrace your authentic self, and communicate with greater clarity and confidence.

The Role of Empathy and Stillness in Transformation

One of the most impactful parts of our conversation was Corey’s take on empathy. He highlighted the importance of starting with self-empathy—acknowledging your own emotions and needs—before extending that understanding to others. This practice can create space for more compassionate communication in relationships.

We also talked about the value of stillness. For Corey, moments of quiet reflection or journaling allow the whispers of his soul to rise to the surface. Whether it’s through sitting in nature, a meditative practice, or even intentional movement, stillness is key to connecting with your inner wisdom.

Practical Steps for Creating Inner Alignment

Corey offered actionable advice for transforming your mindset and communication. Here are some of his key tips:

• Discover Your Soul Statements: Identify core truths that resonate deeply with you, like “I have a loving heart” or “I got this.”
• Practice Stillness: Create time for quiet reflection daily, whether through journaling, meditation, or spending time in nature.
• Acknowledge Your Emotions: Before reacting in heated moments, take a moment to check in with yourself and offer empathy to your own heart.
• Focus on Intentional Living: Bring mindfulness to your daily practices, like framing exercise or journaling as acts of self-love rather than obligation.
