Ep 8: Downregulation (Pt.1) — Running a Racket vs. the Real You (From the Core Workbook Series)

You didn’t just wear a mask—you built an entire fraudulent life around it. In this episode, we expose The Racket: the performative life you ran to escape pain, earn approval, and survive. But the truth is, everyone around you saw right through it. You were the emperor who has no clothes. The real you has been evident all along. In this episode you’ll learn about: - Running a Racket: how 50-cent beliefs and 50-cent behaviors harden into a fraudulent survival strategy - Persona &. Archetype: how the persona you created and became a stereotype you tried to embody - Absolute Opposite: why your true design is 180° opposite from the mask you’ve worn - Peaks & Leaks: moments when the real you slipped out—in both safety and stress - Mimicry: drafting off someone else’s path when you’ve lost vision for your own - Hollywood mapping: what casting rooms reveal about identity This is the start of Chapter 3: Downregulation, part 1 of 4. It’s where we stop pretending, stop performing, and begin reclaiming design over disguise.

Ep 7: The Funk — Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn & The Survival Mission (From the Core Workbook Series)

You didn’t just pick up a few bad habits—you built a survival operating system. In this episode, we name it and break it: the Funk that forms when “something is wrong with me” becomes your axis. We map the four acute stress responses—Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn—to your Feel-Good Personas, show how survival hijacks your timeline and replaces vision with vigilance, and start the axis correction back to full-price worth and mission. What you’ll learn: - How 50-cent beliefs spawn 50-cent behaviors - Stress Reactions: Fight / Flight / Freeze / Fawn — What each looks like, why it “feels good,” and how it was designed to keep you safe - How Personas map to the stress reactions: Winner/Savage/Protector (Fight) • Chameleon/Dreamer/Nomad (Flight) • Observer/Ghost/Stoic (Freeze) • Cheerleader/Helper/Peacemaker/Hostess/Muse (Fawn) - The 3 consequences of survival mode: hijacked timeline, threat-based OS, visionless mission - How you died to yourself; but you can be resurrected Timestamps & Topics 00:00 – Recap: The Fall, 50-cent beliefs, storylines, criticism, and the creation of personas 03:14 – The search for safety: “I must survive at all cost”— the broken gravitational center 04:34 – The Funk: Survival becomes mission → birth of control 05:10 – Four acute stress responses (Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn) 10:41 – The Stress Reactions map to Personas (deeper dive on Personas in Ep 6) 11:55 – Cor's story: How a t-shirt about crazy people 15:32 – Flight: behaviors, safety logic, temporary relief (Workbook p.123) 20:51 – Fight: proving, control, adrenaline rush (Workbook p.125) 26:14 – Freeze: bradycardia, numbness, the “I don’t know” loop (Workbook p.127) 36:20 – Fawn: weaponized caretaking, manipulation through loyalty (Workbook pp.128–131) 42:50 – Persona mapping to stress responses (Winner, Chameleon, Ghost, Cheerleader, etc.) 44:45 – The cost of survival mode: hijacked timeline, threat OS, visionless mission (Workbook p.133) 47:38 – Vision vs. vigilance: the loss of imagination for the future 52:59 – Symbol of the corpse: dead man walking 56:10 – Entering the wilderness — primal living and no longer human 58:18 – Speaking life: survival was never the mission; you are full price 📕 Workbook: Vol. 1 – Reckoning 📖 Chapter: Ch. 2 – The Fall & The Funk (Pt.3) 📖 Scriptures mentioned: None explicitly cited in this episode 📄 Workbook pages mentioned: p. 121 – Survival instincts & unsafe situations p. 123 – Flight survival response reflection p. 125 – Fight survival response reflection p. 127 – Freeze survival response reflection pp. 128–131 – Fawn survival response reflection & persona mapping p. 133 – The Funk in action (timeline, threat OS, visionless mission) YOUR NEXT STEPS — THE COMEBACK PLAN 1️⃣ Subscribe to the channel and the playlist as we walk through every chapter of the From the Core Workbook Series. 2️⃣ Get the workbooks & resources: https://fromthecore.global/ 3️⃣ Get Cor’s memoir on Amazon: From the Core: A Spiritual Journey of Losing Everything and Finding Hope — https://www.amazon.com/Core-Spiritual-Journey-Everything-Finding/dp/1734382538 4️⃣ Come back to life.

Ep 6: The Fall (Pt.2) The Survival Persona That’s Running Your Life (From the Core Workbook Series)

When the original wound hit, you built a Survival Persona — a mask designed to keep you safe. But once safety became your mission, your persona took center stage and you began performing a life you were meant to live. In Ep 6, part 2 in the chapter The Fall & The Funk, we identify common survival personas, name how they show up, and trace the symbol that anchored your false story (mine was the “50-cent” coin that anchored my perceived unworthiness). This is the hinge where safety replaced truth and your orbit shifted from living a life of delight and abundance to trying, with every move, to ensure your own survival. What we cover: - Sample Survival Personas: Winner, Savage, Protector, Chameleon, Dreamer, Nomad, Observer, Ghost, Stoic, Cheerleader, Helper, Peacemaker, Hostess, Muse - The symbol you used to externalize your belief - Why replacing the truth of who you are with personal safety kills delight and your core design - How survival became your gravitational pull around which you began to spin and "survive at all costs" became the mantra of your life. Timestamps & Topics 00:00 – Setup & recap: the Fall, the schism, and the mask 01:26 – Why you built a Survival Persona after the original wound 03:07 – Personas that dominate pain: Winner / Savage / Protector 07:00 – Personas that outrun pain: Chameleon / Dreamer / Nomad 11:01 – Personas that disappear from pain: Observer / Ghost / Stoic 13:16 – Personas that appease pain: Cheerleader / Helper / Peacemaker / Hostess / Muse 19:33 – Persona vs. behavior: default mask vs. learned moves 22:02 – The symbol: externalizing your false belief (the “50-cent” gospel of lack) 26:33 – The swap: when safety replaces truth and your orbit shifts 30:06 – From design & delight → defense & performance 32:33 – Survival becomes your gravitational pull: “survive at all costs” 48:20 – What’s next: How The Fall set up The Funk (Ep 7) — the 50-cent behaviors that run your life SURVIVAL IS NOT THE MISSION.
