Wonderful illustration of the complexity and subtlety of the human experience
I learned so much from this podcast about the subtlety of how we direct our attention. For example, the difference between sitting with and sitting on our negative experiences while meditating.

This podcast helped me change my life!
I found Cory through this podcast two years ago. Since then I’ve attended most of his online retreats and master classes. He has truly changed my life. I have been able to work through and heal from trauma that I thought would be with me the rest of my life. I am continuing to heal and stay on this journey but I could not have done it without this podcast and Cory’s teachings. Thank you from then bottom of my heart. So much love to all of you sharing this journey with me. You are so worth it!

Practicing Human
Cory showed up in my IG feed and I was struck by the genuine sincerity he offered with his thoughts. Listening to his podcast, Practicing Human, has been helpful on many levels. I love that it’s real wisdom, which is not magic or woo, it’s careful consideration and willingness to see one level more than before, and Cory helps you to do that. I highly recommend this as a great addition to your day.

Day changer
I found Cory from a Jodi Moore podcast and it has literally changed my life. I listen in the morning on my drive to work and I go in (to a chaotic high school classroom!) calm and with perspective. The bells focus me and then I can zone in for the day and attempt to practice my humanity with intent and confidence.

Refreshing, open, vulnerable and authentic
I found Cory years ago on a meditation app and have been following him ever since. His book is life changing, his meditations are so well thought out, and this podcast is an extension of all of that. Give it a listen - you won’t be disappointed.

Inspiring
Cory is a daily practice for me. I find his teaching method resonates on a deeply with me a lot of the time. I feel that his practice will appeal to multiple generations- after all, we never truly stop coming to know ourselves. I think if you are ready to enter your spiritual self , this is an excellent platform for you to embark on your journey. Thank you Cory.

Like bite-sized magic for the soul!
I think that if everyone listened to Practicing Human daily, we would have more self compassion, understanding and intention in our lives! The episodes are short but it’s really all you need and I personally think it helps me digest the message better. You can listen first thing in the morning and really remember/take away from it what you need for the rest of the day. I like to reiterate to my partner at the end of the day what I learned from today’s episode. I honestly just love it so much and I’m so grateful to Cory for sharing his wisdom with us!

Cory Muscara
I listen to Cory Muscara’s podcasts every day. The podcasts are very relevant and teaches me to live in the present moment, how to improve my relationships, and to live a happier life. I have purchased 3 of his master classes. When I’m struggling I always listen to his “deep rest” mediation from one of his master classes. My life has definitely changed for the better because of his teachings. I think Cory is astonishing human being. Elaine

Practical
I was first introduced to Cory from an app and became intrigued with the calmness of his voice during meditations he was narrating for. I searched him on YouTube and have listened to many mindfulness clips along with Meditation’s and then that led me to his podcast practicing human. Cory has a practical way to help people in their life in ways that really work!! The mantras he shares have helped me tremendously along with his podcast. Also love Cory’s ‘shorts’ that are also very helpful!

A lot of wisdom packed into a short podcast
Cory is so lovely. He offers his insight and wisdom in a relatable, unpretentious way. His message is often deep but he manages to do it with a “don’t take it all so seriously” attitude. This is helpful for those of us who tend to be too hard on ourselves. He’s funny and really just delightful. I’m grateful to have stumbled upon this podcast.

I really appreciate all the topics that he covers. It’s Easy to digest. Helps me a ton on my path. Ever so grateful for him sharing his knowledge around mental health and meditation. He has taught me to be gentle with myself and to be curious with heavy emotions that come up. I definitely am lucky to have stubbled across his Teachings.

Cory has such significant insight to peacefulness and meditation. He inspires me to continue to listen and grow. He is a fantastic teacher- since listening to his podcast I have become a meditator! Never thought that would happen because I thought I have monkey brain- but through his teachings and guidance, I have learned how to meditate and I am sleeping so much better- more calm- blood pressure has even decreased.. thank you Cory!

Mindfulness=mindblown
Cory has a gift of communicating in a simple but impactful way. I didn’t find out about this podcast until after I read his book. I am so thankful he is sharing his gifts/journey with the world. I am someone who is affected by anxiety. In just a few short days of meditating with his 15 min track, I’ve been able to take a mental step back, enjoy deep breaths and capture more happy moments throughout the day. Keep reaching out into the world Cory! You are positively adding value to the lives of others!

Best part of my day
I listen to this everyday on my way to work- it’s the best way to start my day. Cory is so great at articulating and is so relatable. Sometimes I listen to the same one multiple times because it hits different every time. I also highly suggest his book. It’s something you can reread during multiple points in your life. I use it as a guide of living and this podcast is just the same

100 Stars!
I started listening to this podcast by Cory when I was having a lot of trouble navigating a very turbulent time in my life. I was in a lot of emotional pain from unaddressed childhood trauma. My generally happy and thriving existence turned into fear, uncertainty and sadness overnight. Listening to Practicing Human has helped me realize that it is okay to be with negative thoughts and emotions and the process of healing can take time. There are sometimes that I fully believe Cory is reading my mind because of how relevant the podcast episode are to what I am experiencing at that moment. Cory has a calming presence and a deep knowledge of the subject matter that is evident in every episode. Make Practicing Human a part of your daily routine to help you along whatever part of life’s journey you are at!
Use this for frustrating runs!

Thank you Cory
I began listening to Cory’s meditations on Simple Habit. He uses some of my favorite wisdom and learnings I have discovered and loved on my own and introduces me to new concepts, poems and mantras. I particularly love that he isn’t overly positive mindset focused but emphasizes the importance of creating space and acknowledging negative thoughts and feelings. I read his book and have been listening to his podcast on and off since it launched. (The off because of my own indolence) His easily digestible yet smart wisdom is a good way to start the day and get perspective.

Love Corey’s teachings
Since this is a review for the whole series, I’ll first give my input on that. It’s fantastic. I first discovered Corey on the Simple Habit meditation app - he was my favorite teacher - and I’ve been following his work ever since then. The episodes are filled with a lot of wisdom broken down into short, bite-sized chunks. Definitely recommend! I have a comment I want to make on one particular episode as well. (I wish Apple Podcasts gave the option to review/comment on specific episodes…) I’m currently listening to episode #455 titled [Rerun] Become bigger than your SELF. I felt driven to stop the episode and write this, because what I am about to say is that important to me. I hope it will make an impact in peoples lives, and possibly change the direction of their potential futures. Here’s my message: “I know this is a rerun but it’s even more relevant, I think, today than it was, at the time of the recording. Especially with the delta variant out. For anyone that thinks the pandemic is not serious, my whole household - my boyfriend of 10 years, my daughter, step-daughter and myself, all contracted COVID. The kids both got over it pretty quickly but I ended up in the hospital with double pneumonia, and my boyfriend ended up in the ICU. He passed away 3 weeks ago. Please, everyone… I encourage you to take this seriously! I wish I had taken it more seriously and now my life has been completely uprooted (it’s just my daughter and me know - my stepdaughter moved in with her mother full time). I’ll live with the regret of underestimating the seriousness of COVID for the rest of my life. If you think this is something that’s over-dramatized by the government/politics (which was our stance), think about the worst case scenario, and how you’d feel wishing you had done more.”

You are a truly gifted communicator. I’ve been practicing meditation for about 8 years and your philosophy has really helped me understand meditation in a way that allows me to be present and work with and through my experience rather try to escape it.

Practical Guidance
Listen daily and as others have stated, go back to listen to podcasts that truly resonated with me. Some days it is uncanny how the topic is so relevant as to what is going on in my life. First listened to Cory in a meditation app and found his voice and delivery quite soothing. Some podcast are Longer than others and they incorporate Weill into my daily practice. His delivery is so authentic. Many blessings to you Cory for your gift and the gift of sharing. With a second round of Covid isolation you are one of my constants!

I listen daily and look forward to each new episode. I often go back and listen again to certain episodes that really speak to me. I definitely recommend for anyone who is interested in mindfulness, meditation, anyone who struggles with anxiety or stress, and anyone who wants to become more aware of their behavior and thinking.

Cory presents his teachings in a very digestible manner for people at all stages of developing a mindfulness and/or meditation practice. It’s obvious how passionate he is on the topic of mindfulness and helping people achieve a more fulfilled life. I would recommend this podcast to everyone.

Feeling human and hopeful
I love this podcast because Cory Muscara presents great, spiritual subject matter without being a preaching, judgmental super human. He weighs both sides of an issue which I trust, since he studied psychology, practices as a health coach and is a former monk. I start my morning with a realistic optimism because of his mindful words and recommend this podcast to everyone. Linda

Enjoyable & insightful
I truly enjoy listening to Corey’s podcasts, as he takes a light approach. He often states “his opinion” is just that, & you are welcome to interpret differently the quotes/sayings/etc he discusses & welcomes feedback. His Instagram does the same. I don’t get to listen every day, so sometimes I go through several podcasts in a day, or repeat some several times as needed for it to sink in. He reminds us that even he has to “practice” as we are all humans navigating this thing called life. Thanks Corey! PLEASE keep these podcasts & Instagram posts going. ❤️

Real, and wise
Cory is my new favorite teacher for living. Not too “out there”, grounded in real excellence of his own teachers and avid learning, he uses approachable language and gives practical advice for real people with real lives and modern pressures, but that hews to ancient teachings in mindfulness. Just for the current modern human. Good podcast voice too. Snackable content in just the right amount to digest and look forward to the next. Thank you, Cory!

So grateful to have found this podcast (and that it exists). I listen every morning as a way to start my day either before or after meditation. CM is clear, simple, relatable and easy to understand. I mean that as the highest compliment. Additional texts, reading and online work are so helpful and much appreciated. Thank you. This has continued to really support me during these strange times. ♥️

Cory has been one of my top 3 influencers on my personal life journey. His podcast delivers daily gems of wisdom in such a powerful, heart-felt way. Cody covers every facet of being human and makes you feel like you’re going through life with an amazing soul-connection type of friend right by your side every step of the way. Cory is making this world a better place everyday. I can’t even put into words the impact he has had on me & everyone that I’ve introduced to his teachings.

Wonderful start to a day
I listen to this podcast pretty much every morning (or day if I don’t have the time in the morning for podcasts), and it really helps me to re-center on what is important in life. The topics are good things to ponder on, and Cory has a soft and inviting voice. I really appreciate all of the effort put into these episodes; it has been an important part of me making effort to live a more grounded and present life.

Soul Food
Over the last year, it’s felt like the spiritual work and practices I’ve put into place were being tested more than ever. Some days I felt like a beginner, with meditation, with prayer, with being human. A comforting thought through it all was that I wasn’t alone. I too was practicing the thing we all are practicing...existing on this planet in this now moment. Cory Muscara’s podcast “Practicing Human” has been such a welcome guidepost for me. Starting my day listening to his soothing voice and messages has helped me immensely. I leave each episode feeling like I’ve gained or solidified a new perspective. I am grateful for Cory’s knowledge, insight, work and love for his fellow human. His podcast (and book Stop Missing Your Life) remain constant reminders for me to pause , breathe, notice that I am breathing and my heart is beating. To remind myself that there is more right with me than wrong with me. I hope more people can discover and find comfort in Cory’s voice and words. Thank you Cory!

After listening for a few weeks, I realize that Cory’s spoken meditation is helping me get back to center. Life is particularly angst filled right now, but practicing with him is allowing me to do a bit more than not lose my footing. Thank you, Cory.

I can’t believe this is free. The quality of content you get is so wonderful. I have been practicing with Cory for over two years now, starting from his meditation sessions on Simple Habits. These podcasts really help me relax, live with more presence, and not to be so hard on myself. I cannot thank Cory enough for these podcasts. Highly recommend to anyone to integrate into their days!

Thank You!
I, like many, searched for ways to ground myself through 2020. One of those ways was finally becoming a podcast listener (I know I’m late to the game). Practicing Human quickly became one of my favorites! I love the combo of quick mindfulness tips, poetry, quotes and stories. As a social worker I’m very familiar with the concepts and have used many in my own practice, but it’s always good to have a refresher and to be able to focus internally. Thank you Cory for your dedication to this work!

Cory’s voice is calming - just when I need it most, and his sincerity, dedication to his work, and his wisdom are all palpable. His message will bring value to all ages. Through his humility, humanity, and humor— Cory delivers.

Blissful experience
I first discovered Cory Muscara on Simple Habit and enjoyed his soothing voice and mindful meditations. I’m so glad Cory created this podcast for all of us who are on this rollercoaster called life. I start my morning with this podcast and try to incorporate each lesson through out my day. Cory is very thoughtful when he makes each episode and I appreciate his insight and invitation for us to see how each lesson resonates with us. I love the bells but I miss Cory’s little jingle during his early episodes.

The Most Calming Part of my Day
Simply stated ... I am beyond grateful for Cory and this podcast . I am hoping to get his book ASAP maybe my mom will buy it for me for Christmas! Cory has a way of soothing/calming and bringing a message that is different each day yet also in sync with what I’ve just incorporated the day before . Also, being that I just stumbled upon the podcast after being about a year behind I decided to hop over to an episode from two days ago & the topic still resonates at present . I do believe there are no coincidences so the fact that that episode really “hit” for me yesterday was not surprising . Today I listened to one episode from last year and also the recent episode about finding peace in chaos . I cannot say enough that if you are looking for something to help ground you or teach you how to slow down even for a few minutes a day ... this is it . He also shares on IG and I feel motivated and supported by Cory quite often . I know this is a long review , but if it helps one person choose this as a tool to gain some peace and enlightenment then we are all doing a great job together as humans . Thank you Cory ... forever grateful and excited to continue the journey . Carey B NOLA

So much good here!
Long time listener, first time reviewer (well, here, anyway). I first became familiar with Cory and his practice on the meditation app Simple Habit, back in September of 2019. His voice, style, and words just really resonated with me, so I searched out more of his work. That’s when I learned he was starting a podcast. I’ve been listening since he began in October 2019 (enjoyed when you did your own opening music, Cory). Then I bought his book. Still tune into his podcasts daily. I am *invested*. Here’s why: 1. His podcasts are short. I love that the most. I really don’t have the time to sit and focus on a 42 minute segment of anything right now! Practicing Human fits into my day perfectly. 2. Cory mixes up his content very well. Sometimes it’s just words that make you think: a poem, a quote, etc. Sometimes it’s a practice: a breathing technique or similar. There is always something in his work you can put to use IMMEDIATELY. 3. He’s just got a great voice. He is calm, easy to understand, and personable. The words he says have much more impact because of that. 4. He doesn’t intend for you to hang on his every word. He wants you to use and do what works for you. That’s why he says “try this out” or “have fun with this” or “see how this resonates with you”. He understands everything won’t work with everyone, every time. The guy gets that we’re all out there, just trying to get through this life. He doesn’t claim to have the answers, but if you open your mind a little - you might just find them anyway. Just listen. Breathe. Open your heart and mind. Cory’s words will land somewhere with you. 😁 - Heather N

Well crafted + thoughtful podcast
I read Cory’s book last year and have been listening to this podcast fairly regularly since he started it. I always enjoy the very thoughtful episodes, and have often been impressed that he finds something different to talk about every single day! I sometimes forget to listen for several days and then listen to four or five at once when I’m working, which I know isn’t his intention but I enjoy it. He’s relaxed, wise, funny and warm - this podcast is a wonderful tool for supporting beginning or seasoned meditators.

Not Just for Monks and Hippies
Cory is able to craft a daily message, concentrated into succinct, digestable segments. His positivity and funny Long Island accent sink down into each story of living today a little better than yesterday. Since listening to his podcast and emplyonig some of his "life hacks" I have seen a noticable increase in my patience, better sleep, and less judgement towards others. I make Practicing Human a regular part of my morning routine and don't plan on changing that. No sponsors, no subscription fees, no tricks. Just a dude genuinely interested in helping out the people of planet Earth. Carry on good sir.

In these times of confusion you need a voice that is clear, concise and calm and this is what you get with Cory. I met him on the Simple Habit app and I just found out there’s a whole podcast of him which is Awesome! You won’t be disappointed which is more than I can say of my ex-husband 😂. JK

Helpful
I tuned into these episodes occasionally, kind of skeptical at first. But the more episodes I listened to the more I was impressed. Lots of down to earth lessons and observations that have been helpful to improving my overall well being and growth. I now tune in pretty regularly seeing what he’s posted for the day. The length of the episodes is perfect. Lots of insight packed into a short amount of time. I recommend giving it a listen.

I worked with Cory in college and I was always amazed at how quickly and easily I was able to become present with his guidance. This podcast is so grounding and soothing without being preachy. Proud of you Cory!

The perfect marriage between art and science of mindfulness
I treat sick hospitalized patients for a living . Yesterday I had someone who was dealing with the anxiety of their diagnosis and I shared the wisdom from “ focusing on the positive or negative “ episode, and my patient said it relieved his anxiety. Cory delivers just the right dose of practical wisdom in a adorable style. I start my day wirh it and somehow it always helps me find solutions during the day.

A New Perspective on Fear
I came across Cory’s podcast on Working with Fear and it surprised me on his take and tips to overcome it. Compared to most other self-care podcasts, Cory recommends you name the fear, not just shove it back somewhere in your mind. I found this podcast to be extremely helpful! Cory is very clear, straight to the point and has a very soothing voice!

An amazing way to cultivate a good life
I first heard Cory on Simple habit. He and his meditations and podcast have literally changed my life. Or at least my approach to life. I tune in everyday faithfully! Every podcast is right on time. Thanks Cory! Thanks for your wisdom and your transparency. You’re the reason that I meditate. Thank YOU!

Way to start your day
I listen to Cory when I take my dog out first thing in the morning. It helps me move on from challenges of the previous day to set my intention for the day. It is helping me to think more clearly rather than overthinking, and to be present.

A Meditation Class in Daily, Bite-sized Chunks
I first heard of Cory I’m the ChooseFI podcast a couple of years ago and his down to earth style really appealed to me. After discovering he started his own podcast, I listened from the very beginning and learned a lot about meditation and its many different aspects in daily, bite-sized chunks. His episodes vary from technique to philosophy to poetry/writings from established thinkers in this space. I look forward to seeing where he takes the podcast next, as he mentioned trying to get interviews.

Practical. Relevant. Actionable
This is literally my favorite podcast. I love Cory’s approach to mindfulness and positive psychology. The concepts he discusses are practical and relatable and allow you to reflect on your own journey. While I personally can appreciate the powerful nature of mindfulness approaches like yoga and meditation I think Cory expands the awareness and access to aspects that touch nearly everyone in day to day life, without feeling false and pretentious. Not to mention they are SHORT, and very digestible. I always leave with some challenging yet attainable call to action. While it’s hard to narrow down, I think episodes 165 and 166 are my favorites. Check them out.

Helpful Life Changer
Cory’s teachings have brought me an ability to find inner peace, happiness, and most importantly the skills to take on life’s challenges in such positive ways that never would have occurred had I not found him. It is so apparent that he is an intelligent, sincere, thoughtful teacher who puts in the time to be spot on with his teachings and I will be forever grateful. Thank you Cory.

True Teaching with pragmatism.
This podcast is a perfect complement to the book. It is a perfect stand alone tool for mindfulness training. I have introduced it to my family. I have been following Cory’s teachings since I first heard him on Simple Habit during the first few weeks after the app was release. I am finally doing a retreat as I am on the west coast and manageable on my schedule. Yeah! Thank you Cory. Looking forward to the retreat end of sept. Thank you for not doing commercials. 💜🌲💜

Practicing Human
I am blessed to have the opportunity every day to listen to the amazing person who can write this for a podcast: “...Maybe you are dust. Maybe we are all dust blowing around in endless cosmos without order, reason, or meaning, but you still feel pain if you fall down, you still feel joy when you connect with a friend, you still get to taste the sweetness of a peach, you still get to dream, and you still have love in all its many forms it takes. Wisdom might show us that we are nothing, but love show us we are everything. But if you are dust, it’s the most incredible thing there is...” Cory Muscara, Practicing Human Podcast Episode 183 - If We’re Only Star Dust, Why Do Anything. (Punctuation might be off from Cory’s version)

Short tidbits go a long way
I’ve taken a very long temp job working 8 pm - 8 am, 6 days a week. Unable to meditate (because I need to be conscientious of various things) a friend suggested I try walking meditation and somehow I stumbled upon this podcast. I love the easy, straight forward flow of each podcast, shared in such a way that you feel a friend who truly cares about you is speaking with you, sharing insights to give you pause and make you think, ponder, accept and/or adjust the way you have thought or accepted as true. I don’t review often, yet here I am. Beyond worth spending time listening to these podcasts. Should have done it yesterday in fact. 😉

I look forward to learning more every day & benefitting from Cory’s compassionate energy, profound wisdom, & gentle encouragement as I reflect on & apply endless life changing strategies. Each idea &/or strategy is shared within a 10 minute podcast that often includes meaningful poetry, quotes, mantras, & Buddhist principles that resonate deeply. Practicing Human is my absolute favorite podcast to listen to!

Mind shifting
I give Practicing Human the absolute highest marks! Listening to Cory has been so pivotal for me. I truly have gone through a mind shift in how I experience myself and the world around me. This has brought me so much depth, so much insight that is not only profound but very inspirational. I started listening during walks, after lunch, during Covid-19 shelter-in-place. After 5 months I have continued this routine which is soooo soothing to me, including his voice, and a source of actionable and thought provoking insights. The one episode where he talks about “…dwelling between stimulus and response” has been transformational for me, along with the notions of the “small self” and how I was so identified with it. I now seek to get in touch with the “big I”. Cory, I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact you have made on my well being and my life outlook. I only wish I had started listening sooner, maybe even before you were in Burma :). Please keep it going!

Do Not Stand On My Grave And Weep
When I wake up, I open your podcast as I ready for the day. I’ve lost a lot of loved ones over the past year and on my desk, afraid to open, a card that was sent to me by a spouse of a life long friend who passed away this year. I opened the envelope and it was a Christmas pop-up card with a note of future plans. Your podcast gave me great comfort, although sad, that my friend is everywhere where I roam be it near or far from home. I thank you daily with coping with loss during difficult times.

There’s yet to be one episode of Cory Muscara’s podcast that I have missed since he started it back in late October. They are awesome quick hits of wisdom, revelation, and inspiration. All are impressively relevant. I believe I’ve shared one or two in the past…episode 165 is one that never gets old! So succinct (6 mins) and memorable, more importantly RELATABLE to everyone. Take a listen for sure!

I have been following and listening to Cory’s mindfulness teachings for the past 3 years and recently just participated in one of his online meditation retreats. I have to say he is one of the top mindfulness experts out there and provides such great real-life advice and helpful perspectives in what it means to be “practicing human” and living a present and mindful life. Thank you Cory, and I look forward to the many more years ahead in your teachings. -Evan J.

Life changing
When your life runs face first into a wall you have to make the appropriate changes. That happened to me at the tail end of the summer of 2019. As I started to make changes in my life one of the things I cultivated was a meditation practice. As I went deeper into doing more and more meditation I found Cory’s course on Simple Habit called 31 Day Fresh Start. That 31 day course changed my life and I knew I found the perfect teacher to help me on the road of mindfulness. About a month after doing that course his book came out and I devoured it in a matter of days. Then Practicing Human came into my life. It is the only way I want to start my mornings. As I walk out the door each weekday morning to walk to work it’s the first thing I listen to. I still would have made the changes in my life if I never discovered but I’m so glad I both made the changes AND found Cory. He’s the perfect companion to have in the passenger seat

Lucky Cory Plays a Positive Role in My Life❤️
Cory Muscara’s podcasts are awesome ! I find them calming , thought provoking & soothing . Calming & soothing are similar , however soothing for me extends to a more comforting and balanced feeling . ( maybe a good topic for you Cory .. lol) Cory’s voice adds a great deal to the experience as well. He has helped me grow and I’m grateful. I’m missing his most recent 21 Days of meditation

Cory Muscara’s Podcast is short and easy to fit into any day, and is also extremely helpful. He is a meditation coach, but you do not have to meditate or appreciate meditation to get a lot out of this. If you so meditate, it will enhance that experience, but it will also just enhance every day and every moment. There is no reason not to listen to this. ❤️💕💗

Getting a little better at life
This is a long overdue review, as I have been listening to the Practicing Human podcast since Episode 1. These tidbits of wisdom, insight, and expertise are the way I begin my day, and I have come to realize they prime my day to see my experiences, emotions, and thoughts through a different, more helpful lens. Cory knows how to make big concepts digestible, simple, and applicable- perhaps better than anyone I know. He has an innate ability to make you feel like he is talking directly to you as a good friend, while simultaneously filling the conversation with scientific evidence and profound depth. I remain in awe of how much I continue to learn from this human and get a “little better at life” from his guidance. Highly recommend!!

Cory’s podcast and book have greatly benefited my well being this year. He has given me advice to find my independence again, living for the moment. Also, I enjoy the way he says, ‘because’. What kind of accent is that, haha, I’m a Bostonian, so I get it. This dude is awesome and relatable. I’ve told many friends about him and glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves. Thanks Cory 🙌🏽

Taking care...
I recently started listening to these podcasts from the beginning and am only up to episode 25 or so, but I have this to say: I love that Cory sings the jingle, I love when he laughs at himself and I don’t care how long a session lasts; every word he says is gold. I first meditated under Cory’s guidance when he was leading a group at his high school and have been listening to and following him ever since. His guidance will change your life in all the best possible ways.

Love, love, love listening to Cory. He has a soothing voice and guiding wisdom. I also ordered his book “Stop Missing Your Life” after finding him on Simple Habit. I ordered 3 more as gifts to friends. We all can use a bit of true presence and growth. Thank you Cory for helping me learn about bringing a gentle curiosity to moments. You are helping people to stop struggling against ourselves and widen our circle of compassion. I try to listen to your podcast daily. I started 100 breaths in 100 days yesterday. I’m so grateful!

That’s one reason I love referring friends to Practicing Human.

Exactly what I was looking for!
I originally heard Corey on “How to with Charles Digg” and immediately subscribed to his podcast. These are excellent “doses” of mindfulness teachings that are informative, not too dry or academic, and great length. I love that Corey’s recommendations are so actionable. He doesn’t just throw out ideas, but usually leaves the listener with an actual strategy that can be put into practice right away.

Worth every minute!
Loving this podcast! This is in keeping with my “small steps “ approach to life change...a few minutes each day to reflect on a mindfulness topic. I find it very supportive towards my goal of creating a meditation practice. Thanks Corey for making this happen!

Relatable
Thank you for sharing these strategies. I find your podcast topics very relatable. I would like to here more about dealing with situations in the work place, like not getting along with your boss or colleagues. Feelings of being demoralized or not good enough, self doubt, etc.

Amazing podcast that has greatly impacted my life
This podcast and Cory’s book have changed my life. I cannot recommend them highly enough! I have struggled with some past trauma in my life and this podcast has helped me to be more present with my feelings instead of constantly trying to run away from them. Cory is funny, down to earth and very approachable. I feel like he is on this journey with me and gets that it isn’t about doing it perfectly. Thank you Cory for all the love and effort you put in, you make a difference in my life everyday!

This podcast has quickly become a favorite part of my morning routine; it is exactly what I needed to keep mindfulness teachings at the forefront of my mind throughout the day. Cory delivers quality and relatable content in a short amount of time, making it easy to keep up with practices and develop positive habits. Love the concept and the podcast!!!

Cory has long been my fave meditation instructor, and I honestly never write reviews but this podcast has been so helpful that I want it to go even farther! I take notes while I listen and revisit those notes to make them habits - that’s how valuable I find Practicing Human

My Morning Ritual
Is to listen to this podcast before my meditation practice! This podcast provides digestible, awakening insight in our rather hectic lives as humans. I have done a few of Cory’s guided meditations on Simple Habit and was so excited to hear he came out with a podcast! Cory is a great host and is not only super knowledgeable but also keeps it fun! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us Cory!!! You rock.

HAPPY BELATED BD! And a ***** Review!
Hi Cory, It has taken me this long (!) since Day #1 of your Practicing Human podcast to figure out how to write an i-Tunes review. That may sound crazy but I don't write a lot of online reviews-- BUT YOU ARE AN EXCEPTION! Your podcast is AWESOME! Your subject matter is excellent -- I like the bells best to start and LOVE TWO BELL TUESDAY! (The jingle was cute but not indicative of the pureness of quality in your messages. Just being honest!). I personally like the duration of 10-12-14 minutes for the daily podcast. AND YOUR BOOK! Now that I am reading "Stop Missing Your Life...", your podcasts combined with your book make BOTH more impactful. My FAVORITE podcast may have been the one about 3 tips for sleep...although your recent podcast about Embracing Failure and the one on Optimism were excellent too. Dan Tomasulo so excellently referred me to your 31 Days of Mindfulness and about 1 year ago...you made a HUGE difference in my life. THANK YOU, THANK YOU and God bless you for using your gifts for good! I will continue to pass along the word of Practicing Human and Stop Missing Your Life... how to be deeply present in an unpresent world.. to as many friends & family as I can!

Caught up
I started listening to Practicing Human in January. But I wanted to listen consecutively, so I’ve just now caught up. It’s the first podcast I’ve listened to regularly. Some episodes resonate more than others, and I think that’s just fine. I’ve noticed communication with others has become easier, and my professional and personal relationships have improved as a result. Practice doesn’t make perfect, but it does lend ease.

Practicing Human
I’ve been following Corey for the past two years. I’ve had the good fortune to participate in his workshops and weekend retreat and his teaching has brought my meditation practice and my life to a level of positivity and well being I never imagined. The Practicing Human podcast allows Corey to share insight on life’s ups and downs each day - and somehow the topics always seem to be exactly what I need to hear on any given day! He is honest, he is real and he is helpful. A podcast worth subscribing to- Thank you Corey- and Happy Birthday! - Anne Marie

Best Podcast on Mindfulness
I don’t even know where to begin. This is the best thing that’s ever happened in the podcast world. Literally! Tiny pieces of useful advice mixed with some amazing personal experiences (but no fluff), humor, science, and so much more. This will change so many lives! Thanks Cory!

Bite sized wisdom!
Practicing Human is how I start every weekday morning. I listen while getting dressed and performing those morning ablutions 🤗🤗. Cory’s down to earth delivery, in small enough nuggets to digest, makes my continuing journey of becoming a better human much more enjoyable. If you’re just dipping your toes into podcasts or meditation - you couldn’t find a better place to start.

I can’t believe this is free
I have paid to watch Cory speak in person at one of his workshops in Long Island (Worth it!) and these daily podcasts are similar. Everyday is like a mini audio workshop. I typically listen to these podcasts on my way to work and it helps give me insights and tools to help make what can be a stressful job a lot more pleasant.

Digestible podcasts
I am thrilled to find out how little I knew about mindfulness and meditation before this podcast. I know that statement may sounds odd but each episode is filled with great bits of information where I am able to learn something new every time I open my mind to listen. Thank you for that Cory, and keep up the great work.

Great podcast!
My daughters and I started listening to your guided meditations on the Simple Habit app. You are by far their favorite! My 7 year old always asks to listen to Cory! I recently started listening to your podcast. I really love it and I appreciate that the episodes aren’t too lengthy. I share the episodes that I think children (ages 7 and 9) will understand with my daughters. They especially love your bell. I am a yoga teacher and I teach a Girl Power yoga (and journaling) class for 7-11 year olds. I am going to incorporate the bell into the class. Thank you for your inspiration and relatability. 🙏🏻

I love this podcast :)
It’s amazing that Cory is able to produce high quality daily podcasts with such a variety of topics surrounding meditation, mindfulness and habits/practices to reduce suffering during daily life. Cory’s expertise and experience give him a unique authority for this type of podcast. These are short enough to be played any time you have 10-15 minutes to spare during your day. This podcast is a joy to listen to for meditators and non-meditators alike. Keep up the great work Cory!

A chance discovery and a life-time of learnings to treasure! Cory is as authentic as it can get. The podcast’s format is clean and simple. The ideas presented are deep but the delivery is done in a caring, trusting and instantly relatable way which is probably what makes it so re-listen worthy! Highly recommended it.

I discovered Cory and this podcast through Simple Habit, and am so glad I did! I’ve been listening for a couple weeks now every morning, and I absolutely love the daily reminder to drop back into where I am at right now, as well as all the other ideas he gives on meditation, gratitude, stillness, too many to name! I am so grateful for his insights, and enjoy starting my day off with positivity and focus. Thanks Cory!!

Soooo deeply grateful to Cory for creating and continuing Practicing Human. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Functioning under severe prolonged stress, my body was manifesting very unpleasant physical side effects. The wisdom, insights and strategies Cory is sharing and his calming, gentle manner have had such an impact, and have definitely helped. I’ve laughed, I’ve almost cried, my jaw has dropped as his messages hit home time and time again. So much to think about. And he’s just so darned relatable. I always feel a little better (actually more than a little better) after listening. A great big THANKS from me! P.S. Love the bells, and 2 bell Tuesdays!

I am a public school Headstart teacher that was desperately looking for ways to incorporate mindfulness in my everyday life for myself as well as my students. It has been a challenge working in one of the lowest ranking schools in my district in addition to the lowest in the entire state.!!. Listening to your podcast has really put things in a better perspective for me. I am using your strategies each day. It also gives me a place to look forward to go each day to unwind and work on my emotional teacher stamina and learn from the discussion of the day. I am now focusing on my purpose and the many topics you are discussing all helping me not to miss out on my life! Thank you!!

A Delicious Daily Bite of Mindfulness
Listening to Cory Muscara for a few minutes each day has improved my meditation practice and even more importantly has brought mindfulness into the flow of my life. These short discussions—this is not an hour long podcast—gives you just enough to think about each day, slowly bringing a sense of presence and awe to every day life. And to being human. And be sure to get his book, Stop Missing Your Life.

So excited!!
I love this podcast. I have taken classes with Cory and I find him to be very down to earth and practical. Just now I listened a podcast that discussed how it can be so challenging to complete mindfulness sessions when our “puzzle is not quite fitting together.” What Cory said resonated with me very much. In fact I was just thinking about this fact the other day. This is why it is so important to make our mindfulness practice consistent ( which he reviewed) so that we are able to make it through the more challenging times with ease.

While we often gravitate toward and find mindfulness and meditation in times of trauma and crisis, I love the fact that Cory grounds his practice in the ordinary, seemingly mundane experiences that go unnoticed. Huge paradigm shift via a subtle approach. And thanks for fielding my question on circling at the book revue. Made me feel part of the collective journey.

The Bells!! Ahh!!
This is such an amazing pod cast that fills my commute time with such inspiring and informative substance that I use it to help me set my intension for the day. I have a mini meditation practice upon waking but this mindfulness practices that I can do in the car is so calming to me it really sets the tone for my day in such a positive way. Just love it! As anything that is of value, once it’s not around you really miss it. The few times Cory did not have a pod cast I really felt like something was missing from my day!! Thank you Cory for all the work you have been putting into this. Just want you to know it is soooo appreciated and meaningful. My favorite part are the bells in the beginning and the end. No jingle necessary!! Keep it simple, it works!!

I’m inspired, learning and hooked! Corey and his podcast are wonderful! It’s amazing to me that he can speak to newbies and experienced practitioners on this topic . Isn’t this what we all want ... to get better at life with all of its bumps and unexpected twists? Everyone that I introduce to the podcast so far finds it relatable and interesting. Through the podcast you begin to feel like you are getting to know Corey because he is so open and “approachable”. I’ve been sort of a wellness/yoga junkie for years and have found Corey to be so intelligent, wise and knowledgeable for such a young man. I invite everyone to check it out! Thanks Corey for helping me create a new habit and my morning fix!

Practical and to the point...love this podcast!!
I discovered Cory Muscara on the Simple Habit meditation app and was hooked. When I found out he started a podcast, I immediately tuned in and haven’t missed an episode yet! The podcast episodes generally are around 10 min long is much shorter than many (the first few are a bit longer) which is perfect for fitting into busy schedules. His teachings help shed a fresh new light on everyday struggles and how to deal with them in a very practical, accessible way. Oh, and he wrote a book - “Stop Missing Your Life” which comes out on Dec 31, 2019 and I can’t wait to get my hands on it for more great thoughts and advice!

I’ve been a huge fan of Cory Muscara’s approach to mindfulness since I first heard from him at an attorney CLE several years ago. This podcast is the perfect way to continue to grow in daily, small, incremental steps, which exactly how true change happens. Thank you!!!

Great podcast! But it’s those little things that get me into tears. When I was browsing the page of this podcast, I noticed the following line, “As always, if you'd like to get free access to my resource library, including guided meditations...text your email address to…” Yes! That’s definitely the Cory that I know of. I’m not going to disclose or repeat Cory’s phone number here; but if you want the free access to Cory’s resource library, check out his podcast page and reach out! Again, great podcast!

Cory has been one of my favorite mindfulness-psychology teachers since I first discovered him 3 years ago.

I love how he combines the psychology into mindfulness and find it beneficial to myself and to my clients. Keep it up Cory!

Hands down fantastic
I was seated next to Cory on a plane recently (you didn’t think I’d write this did you Cory). The whole flight I was creeping on his laptop because what else do you do on a flight? We got to talking about his podcast and geeked out on meditation, therapy, trauma and things not to do in NYC. This podcast is great and has been great for me to start my day off centered and to hold onto my sanity when I deal with stupid people. Cory has a great way of sharing his passions with others and is very genuine. Listen and enjoy.

So much here
Love Cory and the message(s) he brings to the table & is about. Fun to listen to and so much to take out of every episode. I started meditating about 1 year ago partially because of an interview of Cory on another podcast; his way of thinking just was on another level to what I had heard at the time. Since then, I have mastered by anxiety disorder and continue to work at mindfulness, happiness, and just enjoying each and every moment. I signed up for Cory’s email list at that time and was really excited when I heard he was creating a podcast and so far it has not disappointed. So much action that can be taken from each episode and a lot to digest. Here’s to continuing to drop into the moment, learning to be a better person, and practicing human.

Relaxing Commute
Cory came to my school as a speaker for our superintendents conference day in October 2017. I was pregnant at the time and during his mindfulness activity, it was the first time I felt flutters from my child! It was the most relaxed I have ever been. I completed his daily mediation and now that I have a peloton, I try to do a daily meditation through the app. When I saw that he created a podcast it came at the perfect time! I was in search of more information on mindfulness and I needed something quick for my commute to work. I am really enjoying the content so far! Thank you! Oh and I love tor “Doug” jingle!

A podcast that is just as important as my morning coffee
I have actually been quite reticent to jump on the podcast train for some reason. That changed a few weeks ago when Cory Muscara launched the Practicing Human podcast. I’ve been following Cory for a little while after realizing that many of the meditations I liked on Simple Habit were his and I signed up for a meditation course that he offered and downloaded it and pre-ordered his book a few months ago. The timing of his starting the podcast was fortuitous as I was on the home stretch of navigating a very intense work production and the daily sessions were incredibly helpful and gave me very tangible tools to navigate the challenges with. Practicing Human has become just as essential as my daily coffee and I’m so grateful to Cory for launching it and look forward to each new episode and what I can learn and then incorporate into my life. Thank you Cory.

Amazing teachings from a great human being
I discovered Cory throughout the Simple Habit app about a year ago and ever since then I have been a great fan of his work. Discovering that he recently started this podcast, made me so happy to know that he now has his own individual platform to share his teachings. Listening to Practicing Human has brought so much peace of mind and the fact that it hasn’t even been a month since it first aired proves how great these episodes are. I definitely recommend this to anyone searching for a sense of hope, enlightenment, happiness, you name it because you’ll find it. Cory has got such a way with words that just makes this whole experience so much more interesting and enjoyable. Keep up the good work Cory! Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got coming up!

Changing my life
I started listening to Corey on the Simple Habit App. First I started listening to the 30 days to better sleep, and that changed my sleep quality dramatically. Then I found what became my favorite: 31 day fresh start. Listening to this podcast every day makes me look forward to my day, and see things from a different perspective. I feel I’ve been able to stop my emotions and have joy in the moment. Thanks Corey, your podcast is making me a better mom, wife, and friend. I finally found JOY.

I’ve been following Cory since I heard him speak on Simple Habit. His voice just chills me out which helps me center myself in the morning and at night. I was so excited to learn about Practicing Human and follow along when I can. To touch on the ongoing saga of the jingle, I don’t mind it because I haven’t heard any other podcaster do it before so I found it interesting. In episode 11 Cory starts laughing about the hate circulating regarding the jingle and I couldn’t help but crack up as well. All new projects need to settle into their bones so I’m intrigued to see Practicing Humans evolution. Definitely rating this 5 stars because with each episode I learn how to weave the content into my daily life and that’s a good practice I’d love to keep working on.

Love end of goofiness!
Cory, growing towards great appreciation of your content and experience. So glad you stopped the goofy music which interfered too much with your content. Love the two bells at start and finish of content, especially no plugs, book, sites, etc, between bells.

So practical!
Loving this podcast since day 1. Cory is authentic and fun! I laugh at least 1x per episode and walk away with at least 1 tool to use in my day working towards practicing human! Love the concept of integrating what we know of mindfulness, meditation, and well being into actionable everyday ideas and practice! Thank you Cory!

Listen to this Podcast if you want to be a better human!
I found Cory on the Simple Habit app, and simply adored his meditations on there. I followed him on facebook which is where I found out he was starting a daily Podcast. And of course I LOVE it! He explains mindfulness in a way that is relatable and easy to understand. He gives amazing tips on how to be a better human, that are achievable. He's funny, smart and just listening to him talk relaxes me. Honestly, most of the day I walk around feeling anxious, but when I listen to Practicing Human, I actually feel GOOD! And I continue to feel that way for the majority of the day! Do yourself a favor and make this podcast a part of your daily routine. We all need more practice being good humans, no matter who we are!

Great PodCast
I’ve been listening to Practicing Human since it started. I love the daily lessons! It’s a great way to settle into the day. Sometimes I wake up and my mind is going a mile a minute, Cory’s episodes help me remember to take a minute, take a breath, and be present with my day. In addition to the podcast Cory will also email you a bunch of resources including a handful of meditations to get you started. I can’t recommend this listen enough.

Great addition to my morning routine!
I used to use my breakfast and coffee time as a period when I would jump into my phone and start to check email, scroll social media, etc., but now I listen to Cory’s podcast which is an exceedingly better use of my time. Practicing Human helps cement the foundation I’ve laid out in the other parts of my morning routine, but most of all it’s inspired me to recommit to a meditation practice. Just 5 minutes a day, focusing on the movement of my breath leaves me in an incredibly calm place to begin tackling my day.

Great way to start your day
Practicing Human is such a great way to start your day. I look forward to listening to it everyday on my way to work. Cory has such an amazing way of allowing you to become a better person by sharing what you may not have thought about in your daily life. Love his stories and rationals about being human. We all experience the same feelings but handle them in different ways. It’s nice to hear you’re not alone in your thinking. I’ve already become a better human and my own best friend too. Thanks Cory and can’t wait to read your book. I preordered it and can’t wait to get it.

Cory Muscara has the ability to guide the listener to experience life and essentially each moment more fully. I am deeply appreciative for this podcast and look forward to his continued effort to guide all of us “practicing humans” to experience life simply and richly! Thank you Cory!

Highly recommended!
I am loving listening along with Practicing Human! It is so helpful to have a daily reminder of the things we so often forget in our day to day lives. I am enjoying it personally, but as a therapist I am also recommending it to my clients because the information and ideas that Cory is talking about are so central to all of us. I love how the information is easily digestable for all & can be listened to on your daily commute!

Worth listening to EVERYDAY!
In the fast paced world we live in, with social media and all the pressure around us, we all NEED to hear this kind of stuff daily. I’m so grateful for this podcast, it has been helping me tremendously each day to look at things differently and adjust my mindset. I look forward to Cory’s insight and calming voice each day. Thank you, Cory for this podcast. This is exactly what I needed in a very stressful time in my life. Keep doing your thing. You rock. Can’t wait for the book release!!

I, absolutely, love this podcast!! I, initially, discovered Cory on “Simple Habit” and was immediately drawn to not only his content but also his approach. It’s great to have daily insights/teachings to integrate into my “life toolbox”. Thank you, Cory, for all that you do and for sharing with us your many gifts and wisdom. Until the next episode....take care.....

The Best!
Practicing Human is a great way to take your interest in positive psychology and mindfulness and put it into practice. I have attended Cory’s workshops and meditation groups and listened to him on other platforms. I am so happy Cory developer his own podcast! Practicing Human is a daily dose of inspiration that allows the listener to set their own pace for their involvement into mindfulness. It digs deeper into the science and background of the roots of this practice and each day you are given a little more to work with. Practicing Human can help you fine tune your life to be more present, and ultimately happier. It’s the best!!

Such a great resource
I’ve been lucky enough to take a course with Cory and am so thrilled to be able to build on my practice with the daily support and wisdom of this podcast. Cory - I’m thrilled with the recent change of frontloading the episodes. I would also be interested in an app - a way to connect without social media. Keep up the great work and thank you for all that you do.

The Podcast, The Genius of Cory
Cory will always be known to me as the key to my personal, pivotal, evolutionary awakening. I’m privileged to have the weekly mindfulness center Cory founded in the next town, as well as the ability to have attended two Cory retreats (so far!). Practicing Human, Cory’s podcast, is the icing on all that cake, and one of the tools to maintain my awareness and daily meditation practice. I highly recommend Practicing Human for everyone at any level of Becoming. 🕉☮️💟

I’ve been a fan of Cory since my days of listening to his meditations on Simple Habit. I’m am so pleased he came out with a podcast because he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to bettering your life. He is a very personable guy and although I’ve never met him he seems like he’s that friend you’d definitely wanna have. Love the podcast and I can’t wait to dive into more topics as we move forward!

Love his work!
A couple of years ago I was introduced to Corys work through a workshop on Long Island, for mindfulness and meditation. it truly opened up a larger world for me after some of the exercises and techniques we learned, were applied IRL. i’m very excited to read his book and even more excited to know I can tap into his podcasts on the daily!

Cory Changed My Life
About 3 years ago, I was an anxious mess. I stumbled upon Cory’s Long Island Mindfulness Meditation weekly group. His techniques and guidance truly changed my life. Cory was destined to do great things and through his travel, naturally could not hold the same weekly meetings. Although, I am glad to say the group has continued with other amazing teachers. Through this podcast I now get a daily dose of Cory’s invaluable lessons. I am so happy he can reach people around the world and hopefully change their lives too!

Content + DIY Jingle = Amazingness
When I was first discovering mindfulness, I downloaded the Simple Habit app and Cory was the first person I listened to...long story short I’ve been following him from one platform to another ever since. I am LOVING these daily podcasts that provide you with practical and quick mindfulness tips and practices that you can take with you throughout your day. And even more than the practice, I appreciate Cory’s relatability & honesty. He openly talks about where he’s going with the podcast, what he’d like to change, and he has a pretty fantastic jingle that he sings (for now, anyway) that always makes me smile. Whether you’re new to your practice or someone who’s been practicing for a while, give this a listen-you won’t be disappointed.

This daily podcast is so helpful
This podcast is absolutely amazing! In only 5 episodes I’ve learned so much. Cory has been my teacher for a few years now, and anytime I can listen to him share experiences, information, lessons, or suggestions I am extremely grateful. I listen on my drive to work and it sets the tone for my entire day. I feel more grounded and present when I get to work. His voice is soothing and he is very captivating. I can’t wait for more! I’m anxiously awaiting his book and know that it will be just as informative as this. He knows how to present information in an accessible way for everyone to understand. You don’t need to have a meditation practice to listen to this podcast. The lessons are for anyone who is trying to get better at life and being a human!

Best Podcast Ever -Practicing human app request
I want to make this review as easy as possible. Major advantages of listening to this podcast on a daily basis: 1- You feel calmer 2- You can use the guided practice regularly, for example, use 4-7-8 breathing technique in your daily life or on a stressful and busy day 3- You can be more present in the moments and with your life. The only thing that I highly recommend Cory to do is to build an app because some people like me might not use social media at all and I want to be involved in his Facebook group or his updates through Instagram but due to that reason, I can’t. I want to say thank you, Cory, for your meditation courses through simple habit and also your daily podcast.

Best 15 minutes of my day
I’ve been following Cory on Simple Habit for about a year, now. His work is amazingly helpful, and helps me feel centered and more myself. I was so excited to learn he was making a podcast, and it hasn’t disappointed. His podcast is easily the best 15 minutes I spend every day. It’s a chance to center myself, to learn something new, and find ways to practice it. It’s become an integral part of my morning routine, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone else.

Cory is settling in!
The first week or so was a confused mix of distracting giggling and jingle banter which has given way (since approx epis 9) to the sharp, thoughtful, and informative content that Cory is fabulous at delivering. I find myself taking notes on my phone while listening ie...”when walking...just walk, when running...just run, but above all else...don’t wobble; and right now...it’s like this.” and going back later to reflect. Cory is a wonderful teacher and the meditation practice coupled with his online courses have been transformative. I am thrilled that he has chosen to share his work, insights and teachings through this podcast. I highly recommend a listen!

Best part of my morning!
I would recommend this podcast to anyone and everyone. Cory has been one of my favorite meditation teachers on Simple Habit for several years now, so I was super excited to see he had created this and that he has a book coming out soon. The podcast has been a great addition to my morning routine and I have found the daily instruction incredibly helpful in that it makes it easier to incorporate into everyday life. I’m pretty neutral about the jingle, but I think the bells as an opener and closer are perfect! Most importantly; thank you for doing this, Cory! You’ve changed my life in such a positive way!

I discovered Cory through the Simple Habit meditation app, and he quickly became one of my favorite teachers on there. As soon as this podcast started, I jumped on it and am happy I did. He offers accessible perspectives on life and mindfulness that can help either somebody wanting to get started on a mindfulness journey or those more experienced who want refreshers along the way. We all need support and a community to help us stay present, and I’m glad Cory is part of my community. Thanks!

Right on time...
Seems whenever I’m looking to get back into a meditation practice, Corey pops up into my Inbox with a new tool to help guide me there. I’ve been listening to the podcast on my daily commute into work and it’s been a bright, thoughtful way to start the day. I like the shared feeling of community Corey creates, his self-deprecating humor (“I <heart> jingle drama” should make its way on pod swag in the future), and his unique ability to translate “woo woo” concepts into practical guidance for former meditation skeptics like me. The pod is a great tool for people restarting a practice, curious about starting a practice and skeptical about a practice.

Simply the Best | Jingle All the Way
If you’re considering just one podcast on mindfulness, then search no further. Cory is a breath of fresh air (no pun intended). Mindfulness and meditation can be challenging ... you might feel like you can’t focus enough or it’s too hippie dippy. Cory’s approach is seasoned with humor and practicality. He is simply the best IMHO. As for the jingle, remember the space between stimulus and response. Perhaps Cory’s laugh is the best in and out of the podcast. I’m enjoying the quest ...

Daily Reset
I did a 10 day silent retreat this summer, followed by a 6 week online course to integrate what I learned into daily life. Shortly after, Cory started Practicing Human. It was just what I needed. I love starting my day with this reset. Sometimes I wake up hours early and I find the day’s episode ready for me. Those early hours are a time I usually need to refocus on being mindful or grateful or reflect on human experience, especially with self-compassion. It’s a great way to start the day.

What I’ve been looking for
I’ve been a meditator for about 4.5 years (predominantly TM). I’ve read many books on mindfuless, listened to audio courses, use a variety of apps, and read articles online when possible. However, despite being fairly well-verses in meditation and mindful living, I have found it very hard to “keep up” with my practice outside of the formal time I set aside for meditation. After a few days of putting a book down, for example, it’s easy to slip into old habits or get sucked back into a mindless daily life. A few years ago Cory did a talk at a conference day in my school district where I work. I have followed him on social media since. When he announced this podcast, I naturally checked it out. To be honest, it is excellent. It is a quick reminder each day to keep up with my daily practice. He presents the material is a “normal” way; there isn’t too much theory or “out there” explanations that are common in mindfulness instruction. The title, practicing human, is perfect because Cory recognizes what it means to be human and gives useful advice on how to recognize and work positively with our own human condition. Looking forward to more!

Beginners mind in seniors
The idea of the beginners mind really came to me as a strong message because my mom who has Alzheimer’s dimentia just came to live with me and I am trying to find the joy in her “beginners mind” where every day and sometimes every hour is her first experience of something. She is joyful in that experience and thank you for helping me to celebrate that joy!

This is THE podcast I’ve been waiting for!!! I’ve been in search of a way to start each day with a routine that makes me find stillness as well as provide food for thought that promotes personal growth. I’ve tried others but they’re so long, I stop listening because don’t commit the time. Coreys podcasts offer me a way to access short, digestible teachings on a daily basis!! I am finally able to develop a daily habit of self care. Yay! Thanks Corey.

Feeling the shift already
I’ve listened to the first 9 episodes avidly and have already noticed small shifts in my daily outlook on life. I’ve been able to drop into the moment on many occasions the week in ways that I have previously struggled with. If I’ve already felt this big of a change, I can’t wait for what’s to come by continuining to listen daily. I didn’t have to create any special time to do this, I just listen in the car or while I’m walking my dog. Thanks Cory!!

Intelligent, RELATABLE, and Engaging!
'Practicing Human' has re-invigorated my meditation practice (no matter how small!). Cory Muscara's DAILY commitment to this podcast makes it easy to stay engaged. It's an awesome example of (and encouragement toward) building the HABIT of mindfulness practice. Episode 7 came was spot-on timely for me and I'm enjoying the daily publishing as well as the bite size length of episodes. Cory is a deeply skilled, down-to-earth and caring teacher whose energy comes through in this podcast! I recommend this podcast to dive in to meditation and mindfulness in a RELATABLE and intelligent manner. Cory takes topics that can veer off to 'woo-woo' land and brings them back to Earth. Excited to keep listening!

OMG, no jingle today!?! Will the world end? But wait I hate the jingle... lol j/k ... I enjoy the content with or without jingle... and appreciate the way Cory is trying to build a community around these daily offerings which so far, are very good, relatable and applicable as well as being delivered in a way I believe can be useful to all humans, regardless of where we find ourselves on the mindfulness or enlightenment spectrum... I am happy to be part of this experience and plan to stay tuned to see it evolve! PS: as a person who has been working on building a mindful community at work for years, offering guided meditations, short lunchtime yoga sessions, etc... I fully appreciate this approach and have already recommended the podcast to my coworkers so big THANKS for doing this.

Life Changing! (Sounds trite but so true!!!)
I found Cory’s MBSR course on Long Island during a very challenging juncture in my life five years ago. I was instantly inspired to go deeper on a personal journey that continues to uncover patterns and obstacles to finding happiness and release from the stresses of, well, being human. I was a fan instantly! After my participation in his coursework I began exploration of my own through Corey’s recommendations into an assortment of spiritual teachers (Rumi, Eckert Tolle ,ThichNhat Hanh, Stephen Covey to name a few) who continue to propel me to dig deeper to navigate more skillfully how I can be the best human being I can be. The gift of Cory Muscara is that he is unpretentious and so “human” that he helps all to feel free to be themselves and revel in our individual humanity. Thank you for all you have done to make my path in this journey we call life more enjoyable- so happy that this podcast will be available to continue to inspire all!

Daily dose of goodness
Practicing Human podcast is a new daily activity I look forward to experiencing. Whether listening to it first thing in the morning, commuting to or from work, or taking a midday break. Cory has a way of keeping you engaged, and also, if your mind happens to wander while listening, he makes you want to rewind and listen again because you probably missed a valuable gem of insight. He’s personable and in my opinion, has a Mr. Rogers vibe that I absolutely adore. Congrats Cory, this is absolutely amazing.

Excited to Join the Practicing Human Community
I accepted Cory’s challenge of listening for 7 days and I’m happy I did! You can tell he’s put so much thought into this podcast and he wants to serve ALL of his listeners, so he’s still working on how he wants his jingle to go (I really like the bell idea). He’s got a soothing voice and adds in humor here and there. One of my favorite parts so far is when he was describing mediation and you’re focusing on your breath when “Why did Mufasa die in the Lion King...” pops in your thoughts. It’s SO true! Your brain will take you through all sorts of random thoughts and it was neat to hear a teacher describe it in a funny way. The “Good Luck, Bad Luck, Who Knows” episode was also wonderful as I had never heard the story and I hope to share it with others. Another thing he says at times is, “have a great day or just have a day.” It’s the first time I’ve heard someone say that and it releases you from the idea that your day must be great. Anyway, as Cory mentions in the introductory episode, life often takes over and we need daily reinforcement to keep our positive growth going. I can’t wait to practice being a better human with a likeminded community.

I’m so excited about this. I’ve followed Cory for about one year now and can easily incorporate this daily podcast. I’m so grateful. And I love the jingle. Keep going. Never give up.

A unique and real perspective
I’ve really come to enjoy Cory's teachings and perspectives in life, mindfulness, and meditation. I learned of Cory through his Simple Habit App, then completed the 31 day new start challenge, followed by the 8 week mindfulness/meditation online course. All have been wonderful resources and have encouraged me to continue exploring with these topics, and the world in which my self lives. The addition of this podcast is wonderful and I forward to his upcoming book release as well. Thank you! 🙏🏼

Love this podcast!
I first discovered Cory Muscara through the Simple Habit app. He has helped me make huge changes to my life. He is genuine, kind, understanding, knowledgeable in his advice and teachings. To be able to listen to him on a daily basis will assist in making my meditation and mindfulness habits stick as this is the one big thing I have difficulty accomplishing. Thank you, Cory. I hope to one day meet you, but in the meantime, I will listen to you daily through this wonderful podcast. I have already recommended it to many of my friends. If you put out a T shirt, I would certainly wear it all the time! (Women’s cut please).

A Must Listen!
This is just the beginning of the podcast, and I am enjoying starting my day with Cory, and Practicing Human. I believe everyone can relate! The daily practice challenges my thoughts and behaviors to be better. (Only because it’s brought up) I’m indifferent to the jungle at the beginning, but I LOVE the “singing” at the end it makes me smile every time. Give it a listen, and I assure you that you won’t be disappointed!

A great resource
I've been following Cory's teaching for a couple years now. His straightforward "regular guy" approach appeals to me. His messages are familiar if you have studied any kind of Buddhism or mindfulness. What's special is his ability to weave the message with scientific studies and real-world examples. It really hits home for me. I've been hoping for a podcast such as this, and now it's here. It's my new go-to for some great advice to make my day better.
