But in all reality I just found my northern light and I ran to it.
Meet Corey Phelps, a beacon of resilience and a voice for body positivity, mental health, and the homeless community. In this episode of 'Rebuilding the Beast', host Festus Ezeli welcomes Corey to share his extraordinary journey. Imagine starting a weight loss journey at 664 pounds and shedding over 350 pounds—that's Corey’s reality. But his story doesn't stop there. From facing school bullying to grappling with his relationship with food, Corey’s path has been anything but easy.
Coming out as gay added another layer of complexity, especially with a family that wasn’t entirely supportive. His mother’s narcissistic personality disorder only intensified the emotional rollercoaster. Despite these challenges, Corey has emerged stronger, advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health awareness. Diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and experiencing homelessness, he has fought his way back with an unwavering spirit. Corey's tale is not just about survival; it's about thriving against all odds.
If you’re looking for inspiration to overcome your own battles, this episode is a must-listen.
