What if fear in the water is the same fear that's holding you back in life?
In this episode of Unlearn the Crap & Level Up: Your Soul is Calling, Kathy Baldwin sits down with Cori Myka, swim coach and transformation guide, to explore how learning to swim as an adult reveals the deeper conditioning we all carry.
Cori shares why so many adults avoid the water, how fear of sinking mirrors the fear of being seen, and what happens when we finally trust ourselves enough to let go. From swimming lessons to self-worth, Cori shows how confidence in the pool ripples out into confidence in everyday life. ✨

"The same fear that keeps someone from getting in the water is the fear that keeps them playing small in life."
"Learning to swim isn't just about strokes — it's about trust. Trusting the water, and trusting yourself."
"Tooting your own horn isn't arrogance. It's standing firm on your foundation so you can actually contribute."
From Kathy Baldwin:
"What struck me most was how fear in the pool looks exactly like fear in life — the fear of sinking, the fear of losing control, the fear of being seen."
"When we minimize ourselves, we don't just hide our gifts — we rob the world of what we're here to give."
