About this listen
Listen and Follow is not about listening to someone else.
And it’s not about following an external path.
It’s about learning how to listen inward —
and having the courage to follow what’s already been trying to guide you.
In this episode, I share a deeply personal reflection on what happens when life feels misaligned.
Not broken.
Not chaotic.
Just… off.
I talk about the difference between performing the work and living it.
About how pushing, managing, and forcing clarity can disconnect us from ourselves.
And how listening — real listening — becomes an active, embodied practice.
This episode explores:
• Why effort stops working when alignment is missing
• How listening is awareness, not passivity
• Why following doesn’t mean giving up agency — it means choosing truth
• What happens when we stop leading with force and start responding with attention
This isn’t advice.
It’s an invitation.
An invitation to slow down long enough to hear what’s already been speaking.
And to trust yourself enough to follow it.
I’m Cory J. Riggs — wellness coach, storyteller, and host of This Tree and Me.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening.
