Founder of Mental Health Simplified - Transformational Coach | Speaker - I LEAD professionals through the DARKEST moments of their life.

My name is Corey Preston,

Personally, I have undergone a vast transformation over the past eight years, escaping homelessness on the streets, drug trafficking and three suicide attempts. Previously diagnosed with CPTSD/PTSD, but now mostly symptom-free due to a lot of hard work and commitment. I'm a true Phoenix who has escaped hell and was lucky enough to find my purpose in serving community.

I'm the Founder of Mental Health Simplified. An organization that provides Mental Health Coaching and Motivational Speaking seminars. Our Coaches all have Lived Experience. Meaning they have overcome Mental health & Addiction related challenges. This allows us to better connect and relate with our clients to support their needs. Not just guiding someone from a text-book, but by actually showing them the way from experience.

Not being BORED is ruining your Mental Health. 🫠

Corey Preston

I help people OVERCOME complex life problems. I eat ANXIETY & BURNOUT for breakfast.

Smashing beers and chain smoking joints was my past mental health routine. When I really wanted to escape, I'd lean hard on cocaine and a cocktail of uppers and downers. If I felt sad or uncomfortable, I always had tools to make myself feel "better."

That was until the high went away, and I ended up feeling even worse than before. I was so stuck in trying to survive day to day that I didn't even know what I was fighting for. In fact, I didn't even know that there was any hope. When you're in the shit, you don't think about sunny days. That only made me more angry because I was in such a dark hole.

Eventually, I got so sick of drugs and binge drinking. Whenever I had the thought of getting wasted, I would think of all the shameful memories I had made. It would bring a certain type of inner disgust that I felt in my stomach. Each impulse I had to do drugs was met with significant discomfort. I'd visualize the worst moments of my life each time.

This actually reprogrammed my mindset with addiction. Previously, I would feel happy at the thought of getting high. But slowly, as I met each toxic thought with this approach, my desire for getting loaded began to fade. I replaced those self sabotaging impulses with healthy ones.

I'd work out, read books, watch personal development podcasts, and created a foundation of tools like grounding exercises, affirmations, cold showers, and practicing gratitude daily. I celebrated every positive action I made, telling myself that I'm proud of my efforts each time an action was achieved. Eventually, the monster within turned into an inner guardian. My inner voice no longer wished to hurt me, and I broke free from survival mode.

If youre struggling with addiction. Don't give up. Replace those negative impulses with healthy habits. Celebrate each win you have with gratitude. You'll shift your addictive mind to crave healing and growth. 

Sincerely,
Corey Preston,

The ugly truth about your relationship with your partner.

If you both fight without processing what happened, and just stuff those feelings deep inside. 

You will create a relationship cancer. Which will begin to spread like an infection through out your foundation. 

All those good times and precious moments will cease to matter. The suppressed negative feelings will over power the positive. 

This is why it's so important to setup a system for conflict. When you fight make sure you do it the right way.

Step 1) When fighting make sure things don't get out of hand, as soon as verbal abuse or yelling happens... STOP. Walk away and cool down. Both of you agree upon this so you're on the same page. ✅️

Step 2) Come back together once you both had time to think on the problem. ✅️

Step 3) Instead of blaming your partner for anything. Start the conversation with what you think you could've done wrong. When you address your own flaws it will reduce triggers. Because you're taking accountability for your part. When we are vulnerable our partner will stop being defensive. ✅️

Step 4) Listen fully to one anothers needs. Seperate the problem from your relationship, and work together as a team. ✅️

Step 5) Make sure you both are leaving the conversation feeling satisfied. This way the issues are resolved emotionally, and don't surface again later on. ✅️

Sincerely,
Corey Preston,

I'm free from the NARCISSISTS spider web.. Just had a life changing psychedelic journey yesterday that significantly helped me get clarity. So grateful for stepping out of this story ive been entrapped in for so long. Narcissistic people will entangle and leverage your empathy against you. 

They do this to hold the cards to keep you in their control. I've finally cut off the connection to someone who has hurt my family. The great thing about understanding you're living in a story is that you have the power to walk out of it at any time. We must own our story rather than having other people’s stories owning us. Today i set my heart free, and know that everything will work out. ♥️

Being lonely was killing me like a pack of cigarettes. It didn’t matter how many people I surrounded myself with. Even having a partner didn’t fill the emptiness.

It wasn’t because I was broken. It was because of childhood trauma.

I grew up feeling rejected, like I didn’t belong. I couldn’t even sit alone for more than a minute without feeling dread and discomfort.

The strange thing was, when good people got too close, I would sabotage the relationship. I’d either become too needy or neglectful.

Consciously, I knew it wasn’t normal. But underneath, I believed I wasn’t good enough, so I pushed love away.

I tried every drug to fill the void. Nothing worked.

Eight years ago, I ended up on the streets because I had completely given up on life.

But when I crawled off the streets, I began slowly unf*cking my life.

I met a girl I fell in love with. We were together for a year before breaking up. It was the first time I had truly loved someone.

Losing her hit me with a tsunami of loneliness. I shut down for three months. I had a full-blown breakdown.

It wasn’t just the breakup. It triggered deep childhood trauma I could no longer run from.

I was ready to take my life.

And then something happened. A faint voice inside said, “We can’t do this anymore.”

At the brink of self-destruction, all I had was myself.

So instead of running from my pain, I chose to face it.

I sat with the loneliness I had feared my entire life.

I started caring for myself instead of abandoning myself. I threw myself into healing and personal development.

Slowly, I began to feel safe in my own skin.

Eventually, I learned to love myself by doing the hard work.

I had to befriend the pain I carried in my heart.

Fast forward to now.
I show up fully in all of my relationships.

I’m able to love from a deeper place because I’m no longer faking it.

To truly love others, we have to care for ourselves.

If we don’t, our relationships only get the parts of us that are still surviving.

If you’re lonely, chasing love, or trying to fill an emptiness know this...

On the other side of fear is love.

It may feel overwhelming to face your truth,
but once you do, your entire life can change.

Don’t give up on yourself.
Don’t give up on life.

Sincerely,
Corey Preston,

I never really had a girlfriend in school because I was bullied so much. But I dreamed of finding a soul mate, as I felt so lonely. Unfortunately I found many toxic partners after school, and also in that process became quite toxic myself. 

Each time I would go through a break up I would learn more about myself. As many of you know going through grief of losing a partner is brutal. For me it took learning through three major relationships until I finally understood what was happening.

It was the realization that I didn't even know who I was or what I needed from a partner. Because of this I kept finding incompatible girlfriends. It was based more on attachment and fear of being alone. Instead of finding a partner that would love me fully, and accept me for who I truly am.

This was when I got clear on my core values, and started seeking someone that would fit my standards. It took about 10 dates in the span of 6 months, but eventually I found my wife Ava Preston. I never gave up on love, and the universe rewarded me with such a supportive partner. If you're struggling finding love. Don't give up on your journey. You must search for the answers inside of you, and build a relationship with your self to become clear on what you need. We must learn to love ourselves in order to be able to create a space for true love to come home. Finding love takes patience, vulnerability and courage.

Sincerely,
Corey Preston,

The reason you feel crazy is because you were gaslit for so long, you started doubting your own reality. 

Gaslighting is when someone twists your words to make you feel like you're going insane. You keep trying to have a voice but they deny everything they did. They make you question yourself and they do this to control how you think.

Only predators that are narcissistic or psychopathic use gaslighting. It's a psychological hack that they leverage over vulnerable people. As soon as you engage with them it's already over. Because they're like a trap door spider waiting to spring their trap. 

To protect yourself from these energy vampires. This is what you need to do.

Instead of defending yourself with them. PAUSE. Just look at them in the eyes and say nothing. Let them know you're aware of what they're doing. Eliminate any words they can tangle up into their spider web of lies. Only tell them that you're leaving. Walk away. 

Look you can't reason with someone who lacks empathy. They're not going to be educated, rescued or changed by your words. They're only seeking to hurt you. Remaining in the company of these predators will only cause you harm. Cut out these toxic people from your life.

You're not just another employee. There is workplace cultures that have your back. There is leadership that actually cares. Pick your opportunity wisely. Don't just look at the wage and role. Investigate the history of how past employee's we're treated. When you take the plunge. Make sure you jump in with awareness of what you're getting yourself into. That way you don't later regret your decision. You're a human being and your contribution matters.
