Choosing Yourself: Coach Chaos on Growth, Connection and Starting Fresh

2025-12-16

In this honest and down-to-earth episode of The Powerful Project, Coach Corey “Chaos” shares his story of moving from New Zealand to Perth, and what it really looked like to start over.

From a tough breakup to navigating self-doubt, Corey opens up about rebuilding his life, finding community, and growing into the coach and person he is today.

Now based at Good Vibes Boxing, Corey talks about the deeper side of coaching: connection, communication, and helping people feel seen. He also shares personal reflections on identity, masculinity, mental health, and learning to “pick yourself” even when things feel uncertain.
