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.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I’m getting into the real stuff—how this podcast has changed me, and the way I’ve seen it land in your lives, too. We’re talking resolutions (spoiler: I don’t do ‘em), why I focus on themes over goals, and how the book The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer has cracked me wide open in the best way.

Here’s the heart of it though: 👉 You don’t need faith to start. 👉 You don’t need motivation either. What do you need? To move. Take the step. Take action. And let God meet you there.

I share how that’s played out in my own life—through fitness, through recovery, through moments I didn’t feel strong or “ready.” Because every time I showed up anyway, my faith grew.

If you’ve been stuck, circling the same old thoughts, or waiting to feel “aligned” before you act—this episode is your fire. 🔥

Trusting the Unknown: Following God One Step at a Time

In this episode, I’m opening up about what it really feels like to trust God in the middle of uncertainty—in life, in business, in recovery… in everything.

I share pieces of my own story and how lately, it’s felt a little like playing a game of chess. Every move comes with questions, resistance, and some real moments of “God, are you sure this is the way?”

But here’s what I’m learning: God doesn’t always show up in big, dramatic moments. Sometimes He speaks through the quiet. The mundane. The stillness we usually try to avoid.

This conversation is an invitation to: ♟ Let go of needing to know every next step 💛 Be open to hearing God in the ordinary 🙏 Learn to live by faith, not by fear

I hope this episode brings you a deep breath of peace—and the permission to walk forward, even when the path ahead feels unclear.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I’m diving into something that’s been on my heart lately: letting it be enough. You know those seasons when you're full of energy, ideas, and everything feels like summer—bright, buzzing, and alive? And then there are other times that feel more like a long, slow winter—where showing up at all feels like a big ask.

I talk about how our needs—physically, emotionally, spiritually—shift depending on the season we’re in, and why it’s okay (and important!) to honor that.

I’m sharing a few personal stories around grief, uncertainty, and the quiet growth that happens when life feels anything but easy. This is your gentle reminder that you don’t have to be “on” all the time. You don’t have to do more to be worthy.

You’re allowed to slow down. You’re allowed to feel what you feel. And you’re definitely allowed to let where you are be enough.

This episode is raw, unfiltered, and straight from my heart... recorded from my car on a rainy day in Revelstoke (because sometimes life hands you a moment, and you just have to hit record).

I’m reflecting on the last eight years—where I’ve been, what I’ve walked through, and how recovery, faith, and surrender to God’s plan have completely changed me. From the heartbreak of my first marriage ending to rebuilding a life that’s rooted in something so much deeper, this is a look into what it means to keep going when the path isn’t clear.

In this episode, I talk about: 🌧️ Sitting in the uncertainty and learning to be okay there 🙏 What surrendering to God’s will actually looks like 🛤️ Taking the next indicated step, even when it’s hard 💛 The small daily choices that keep me grounded in recovery and faith

If you’re in a season of change, uncertainty, or just need a reminder that you’re not alone in the messy middle—this one’s for you.

This one’s straight from the heart.

I recorded this just after a quiet morning prayer, feeling the weight (and weird peace) that comes with endings. Not just the little ones—but the big, soul-shaking ones.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I’m sharing some of my own story—sobriety, grief, heartbreak, and what it was like to walk through the”beginning of the end” for me. None of it was easy. But all of it… led me somewhere deeper.

In this episode, I talk about: 🕊️ How recovery cracked me open and brought me back to life ♟️ The idea that we’re all part of what I call “God’s quantum game of chess” 💔 The messy, sacred dance with grief 🙏 What it means to surrender—not in defeat, but in trust 🌅 Finding peace in the ordinary moments, even when life feels anything but

If you’re in a season where something is ending—or has already ended—I hope this reminds you that it’s not the end of you. There’s more on the other side. There’s always more.
