about core truths
You’ve worked hard. You’ve overcome challenges and shown up for everyone else. But deep down, something still feels off.
Maybe you feel stuck, disconnected, or even lost—like no matter how much you achieve, you can’t quiet the voice in your head telling you it’s not enough…or why am I so unhappy.
You’re not alone. And more importantly, you don’t have to stay this way.
It starts with a conversation. Let’s talk.
why you’re here
If you’re reading this, you’re probably ready for something to change. You’ve tried to figure it out on your own, but no matter how much you push, the same patterns keep holding you back.
You want clarity—to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
You want practical tools to break free from self-doubt and fear.
You want a guide who can help you navigate the journey ahead.
That’s where I come in.
how core truths works
At Core Truths, transformation isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all answers.
It’s about creating lasting change in your life by reconnecting with your core self and learning to live in alignment with who you truly are.
The Core Truths process is simple but powerful and involves deep work for lasting change:
Truth Realization: Uncover your core truths and define meaningful goals that align with your authentic self.
Choice Integration: Develop a plan and practice making choices that reflect your truths. This is where the real work happens, as you confront inner resistance and build self-accountability.
Transformation: Reach a point where you can self-manage your journey with confidence and clarity, trusting yourself to live the life you choose to live.
Every step of the process is designed to help you rediscover who you are, navigate life with purpose, and experience true inner peace.
This is for you, but the impact ripples out to every aspect (and person) in your life. Imagine the difference you can have when you show up truly as yourself.

I’m Stephen Rodi. I’m a certified recovery, integration, and life coach.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck.
For much of my life, I wrestled with depression, disconnection, and a deep sense of being lost. On the outside, I had it all together—I was a father, an athlete, and an active member of my community. But inside, I was quietly crying out for help.
I threw myself into my roles, hoping that being busy and successful would fill the void. But the harder I tried to push through, the deeper I sank into self-doubt and fear.
In 2020, everything changed. The pandemic stripped away my distractions and forced me to face the loneliness and pain I’d been avoiding for years. That’s when I embarked on a profound spiritual journey with psilocybin, which helped me uncover the truth of who I really am and gave me a glimpse of what healing could look like.
But insight alone wasn’t enough. I realized that transformation wasn’t about waiting for the right moment or the perfect insight—it was about making a choice.

what I learned
I chose to heal.
Healing wasn’t quick or easy. I began the hard work of facing the truths I had been avoiding—acknowledging the pain and unresolved emotions I carried from childhood, relationships, and life. It took effort, time, and a daily commitment to show up for myself.
I also learned that I couldn’t do it alone. Asking for help was one of the most humbling and empowering decisions I’ve ever made.
Through this journey, I discovered:
Healing takes consistent focus and time.
True transformation is a practice, not a moment.
Asking for help isn’t a weakness—it’s a strength.
This experience didn’t just change my life—it gave me purpose.
I created Core Truths to guide others through the same process that helped me rebuild my life. It’s not about quick fixes. It’s about uncovering your truths, making empowered choices, and creating lasting change that’s true to who you are.
My mission is to help you find your way to understand and define your life's journey, to grow, and to possibly heal.
This is my calling.
your journey, your pace
Transformation takes time and it’s different for each person. The process works best when you’re open, honest, and ready for change—but there’s no “right” or “wrong” time.
This is your journey, and every step is yours to define.
But it won’t start until you’re ready to choose yourself.
Once you do, together, we’ll create a path forward that feels aligned with who you are and what you want to achieve.
I’ll guide you, support you, and challenge you. But most importantly, I’ll help you discover that the answers you’ve been searching for have been within you all along.
why this work matters
Healing begins with a choice. When you choose to face what’s holding you back, you unlock the potential to live with clarity, confidence, and peace.
I’m here to help you make that choice, take those steps, and create the life you deserve…the life you choose to live.
It all starts with a conversation.
