CoRo Is a Crush
Self-love isn’t always soft, and healing isn’t always pretty. CoRo Is a Crush is a faith-based podcast where we talk real about what it takes to grow, heal, and walk in purpose—without the fluff. I’m Nik Austin, and on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month, I’m showing up to talk about self-love, boundaries, faith, mental health, and what it’s really like building a business while becoming the best version of yourself. This space is rooted in God, but open to everyone. No judgment—just real talk, bold truth, and the kind of conversations we don’t always get to have out loud. If you’re ready to heal, grow, and show up for yourself fully... this is for you. If you’re ready to stop settling and start living, hit play & let’s go! 🚀💜
