What Happens When You Don’t Numb Out

In this episode, I’m talking about what it actually looks like to walk through a season of anxiety, co-parenting, major life shifts, and even a near-death experience and choose not to let fear run your life.

We talk about:

• Navigating chronic fear without numbing out
• Rewiring survival patterns
• Building structure and containment in chaos
• Trusting God when you can’t see the outcome
• Staying instead of running

Here’s what I know:

You cannot shortcut transformation. You cannot numb your way to peace. And the storm passes, but only if you stay long enough to see it through.

Suit up. Show up. Stay.

I didn’t disappear because I quit. I stepped back because I was in a storm and my job was to survive it sober.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I’m back after a long pause, and I’m telling the truth about where I’ve been. This past year required everything I had: learning how to co-parent for the first time, managing anxiety that felt suffocating at times, and facing a medical emergency that nearly took my life.

If you’re in a season that feels heavy, isolating, or relentless… this one is for you. I’m glad to be back. And I’m grateful to still be standing.

• Why I stepped away and why it was necessary
• Navigating co-parenting and the emotional toll it took
• Anxiety, surrender, and learning to stay present
• A near-death experience that changed my perspective
• Faith, endurance, and staying sober through the storm
• What it means to come back rebuilt, not bitter

The storm passes. The work is staying.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on control and comfort and leaning into one powerful idea: what if your job isn’t to figure it all out—but to say yes anyway?

I’m sharing what’s been stirring in my heart lately—from my conversations with God, to the wild, unexpected ways this podcast and social media have grown (spoiler: I didn’t plan any of it). This is your reminder that faith doesn’t always come with a blueprint, but it does come with breakthrough—if you’re brave enough to show up for it.

We’re talking about:

🔥 The fear that shows up right before the big stretch 💬 How to trust the plan even when it feels like chaos 👊 Why saying yes to life (and God’s timing) will change everything ⚡ A challenge for the week: What’s one thing you can say YES to—even if it scares you a little?

This episode is an invitation to stop waiting until you're ready and start trusting that God already knows what He's doing—you just have to agree to show up for the ride.
