In this episode of The Corey Podcast (TCP), Corey talks about how to handle people who consistently flake and what that behavior really means for your time, energy, and self-respect. He shares a more grounded, adult approach to setting boundaries without overreacting or overextending yourself.

The episode also explores a more layered question, is it ever okay to lie? From everyday social moments to more sensitive situations, Corey reflects on the balance between honesty and compassion, with insight from psychology and Hidden Brain.

It’s a thoughtful, relatable conversation about boundaries, behavior, and how we choose to show up for ourselves and others.
