In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I am going to rant on the true meaning of surrendering while actively pursuing our goals. Surrendering is not giving up but learning to live life on life's terms, balancing action with letting go of the outcome. We dive into the importance of discipline, focus, and dedication while being open to God's guidance along the way. Using personal metaphors (which you know I love to use), such as aiming for a 300-pound deadlift and preparing for a Spartan race, we discuss how setbacks can become opportunities for growth and how God's path may reveal unexpected treasures and insights. 

This episode emphasizes the need to stay curious and responsive to life, balancing between rigorous action and spiritual surrender.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I dive deep into the concept of 'Future Self' and explore various perspectives on manifestation, scripting, and the role of visualizing future goals. Lets start with the reflection of my own spiritual crisis at 25, where I struggled with the balance between pursuing dreams and accepting life's inevitable ups and downs. By sharing my journey from initial beliefs in purely manifesting outcomes to reaching rock bottom through substance abuse and then finding solace in recovery, this episode conveys the importance of surrendering to a higher power while staying active in one's pursuits. 

Throughout the episode, I want to emphasize the need for letting go of strict control and trusting in a divine plan, demonstrating how this approach has led to unexpected but profoundly rewarding outcomes in her life.

“If you're struggling, reach out to someone you trust and tell them you need help. Even the smallest willingness to believe can spiral into a relationship with God that you didn't know was possible.”

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I am interviewing my guest Nicci Amendola to share her story of recovery. We start with her early fascination with alcohol and drugs, which spiraled into a full-blown addiction, leading to severe personal and familial consequences. She discusses losing custody of her children, multiple pregnancies while addicted, and the emotional turmoil she endured. We cover everything from the complexities of addiction, the struggle for recovery, to the importance of support systems. 

Nicci’s testimony serves as a powerful testament to resilience and the transformative power of recovery.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, Let’s really dig into the balance between taking action and surrendering to God's plan. I emphasize how crucial it is to integrate both aspects into our lives, using the metaphor of a gardener tending to a seed to illustrate this balance. 

I talk about our human tendency to force outcomes and the stress it causes, and I advocate instead for faith and patience in the natural unfolding of life. I share some of my personal experiences and encourage listeners to trust in God's timing, embrace the unknown, and maintain rigorous daily action without giving in to fear or frustration.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I open up about my own experiences in business, life, and recovery, highlighting the importance of trusting in God's plan, even when the path ahead isn't clear. I liken the experience to playing a game of chess, where each move comes with its own set of challenges, especially when you're trying to live by faith.

I share the unique ways in which God might reach out to us. It's a reminder that divine communication doesn't always come in the form of grand gestures; more often, it's found in the quiet, mundane moments of our lives. The episode I hope brings you peace to accept the unease that comes with uncertainty about the future and to focus on taking life one step at a time, always seeking and following God's lead.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I am so excited to share with you this conversation I had with Lisa Stanton. She discusses the complexities of healing and forgiveness, and how childhood trauma influenced her behavior and relationships. Lisa also shares her battle with alcoholism, using alcohol as a coping mechanism for her confusion, anger, and fear. She talks about hitting rock bottom in 2020, her resistance to accepting a higher power, and her eventual embrace of faith in her recovery. 

Together we have a great conversation on the transformative power of recovery, the role of a higher power, and the unexpected blessings, such as Lisa's upcoming book, her marriage, and what the future holds. I am so touched by Lisa’s story and I know you are going to love it as well.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I am bringing on my first guest Jodi Evans who has an incredible redemption story of rock bottom to how God has worked in her life. Jodi is a personal trainer that helps moms use faith to fuel their fitness journey. We talk about the life-altering accidents that left her in a wheelchair, leaning on pain management, and battle with addiction. 

She shares the role of faith in her recovery and how she found purpose through art, crafts, and projects that led her to becoming a personal trainer. Jodi candidly shares her struggles with the legal system, addiction, and pain management, and how a choice between jail and rehab became a turning point. Her story brought me to tears, because of her resilience and transformation, culminating in her work as a fitness coach and author of a devotional cookbook, to now sharing her testimony to inspire others.

"Over the years of practicing life this way, I have been amazed to see that God does in fact know better for me what I need and what my purpose is than I could ever know." - Kori Leigh 

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I talk about how I found God through prayer and came to realize that God's will often reveals itself in the simple, everyday tasks we all do. I look back on how I used to focus on self-centered prayers and how I've transformed to praying for God's will and dedicating myself to serving others.

I want this episode to encourage you all to live a purpose-driven life, to let go of the need to understand every complexity of life, and to trust in God's plan for us.

"When we do our work to heal and to surrender to God's will, God then uses our past to help somebody else."

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I am starting off sharing my story of the tough parts of growing personally, going through recovery, and how sometimes it's those really dark times that bring us the most important messages about ourselves. I don't hold back when it comes to my struggles with trust and getting close to people, all because of some rough stuff that happened in my childhood. Those experiences really molded how I see God. I'm a big believer in the idea that we should all have the freedom to explore and redefine what faith means to us. I want to get across that your faith isn't something static, but God is; it's this deeply personal journey that keeps changing and growing, just like we do.

Overall, I wanted to share that God came to me in my darkest moment, not because I prayed for help, actually I wanted nothing to do with God, but because there was a moment where He could access me, and He did. He will meet you where you are at too.

Welcome to The Kori Leigh Show! I am your host Kori, a recovering alcoholic and business owner, which I will I discuss hitting rock bottom in 2016, that led me to find God and begin healing. I share my experiences to provide hope and strength to others facing similar struggles, emphasizing the power of community in recovery. My story is one of surrendering to a higher power, finding serenity, and connecting with others through shared experiences of darkness and hope.

I am now on a perpetual journey of learning to heal, soften and deepen my faith. I have found incredible strength and hope in being surrounded by other addicts in recovery, who share a common solution and are dedicated to living a life of serenity, service and sobriety. And I believe that sharing stories of experience, strength and hope have the power to open our hearts, transcend our doubts, and offer us the right amount of light, no matter how dark it's gotten for us to make it through.

God meets us in our mess and saves us because our mess is our service to the world. I know what it feels like to be lost. I know plaguing anxiety, dark depression, and an obsession to escape that has caused me to do unthinkable things to myself. I know hopelessness, I know faithlessness, I know paralyzing loneliness. But I also know recovery. I know hope. I know what it's like to hit bottom, to surrender my will to a power greater than myself, and to commit to living life according to spiritual principles that at first I did not trust, but that I have come now to totally transform my entire existence.

I am so glad you found this podcast, please follow, share, and leave a rating & review! As we say in recovery, find the similarities and not the differences - together we heal. 

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, we dive into the profound concept that other people's opinions of you are none of your business. We explore the strong human tendency for approval and belonging, and how it often clashes with our need to be authentic. Through personal anecdotes, including a conversation with my gym trainer and a recent social media experience, we illustrate the challenges of staying true to oneself amidst external judgment. I discuss the impact of feeling judged and the importance of adhering to one’s mission and purpose, especially when facing negative feedback. This episode emphasizes the necessity of diverse thought and respect for different perspectives, reinforcing the value of standing unwaveringly in one’s truth to inspire and uplift others.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I share with you thoughts and insights I have had with the “why am I here?’ question. Maybe you are going through a challenging season or simply wondering “what should I do next?” I dive into themes of discipline, spirituality, and personal growth. Reflecting on my own struggles with depression and addiction, I emphasize the importance of taking small, intentional steps in daily life to connect with God and find purpose. I introduce what I call "dog shit spirituality," highlighting the spiritual significance of mundane tasks.

"Without God, I am a seed floating in the air; I literally cannot germinate. It doesn't matter how much I will it, mantra, or think about it. I need to be attached to my life force."

In this personal and emotional episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I explore the journey of rediscovering faith after hitting rock bottom. Prompted by a question from Instagram, I dig into my own experiences with a fearful and punitive perception of God, the rebellion and hatred that led me to abandon my faith, and the life-altering realization that brought me back to spirituality. 

Through a candid narrative, I discuss how hitting multiple rock bottoms and embracing my darkest moments ultimately allowed me to reconnect with God and build a meaningful and abundant life guided by faith, prayer, and meditation.

'Faith is literally believing in that which we cannot see, and we are asked to trust this non-linear path that sometimes feels like regression.'

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I dig into the often overlooked yet fundamental concept of slowing down and living in the present. In a world overwhelmed with fast-paced demands and future-oriented goals, I emphasize the importance of mastering the art of presence. Through personal anecdotes and metaphors, such as the journey of achieving a 300-pound deadlift and the timeless tale of the tortoise and the hare, 

I hope this gives you insight how embracing the mundane and trusting in God's will for the present moment can lead to profound progress and emotional intelligence. This reflective journey aims to shift our perspective from incessant hustle to intentionality, and from future-tripping to the magical now.

"In order to hold up a high standard, we have to trust that what's coming on the other side is going to be better than what we are currently saying no to, which is where faith comes in."

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I talk about the transformative power of gratitude, faith, and living a life of high standards. I emphasize that gratitude is an action, not just a feeling, and recount how hitting rock bottom allowed me to connect with a higher power. I stress the importance of taking action, surrendering to God's will, and being of service to others. I truly want this to encourage us to uphold high standards and persist in gratitude practices, highlighting the profound impact of faith and perseverance.

'Just because somebody else may have had it worse does not diminish the fact that your story matters, that your feelings matter, and that the only way that we can possibly begin to heal and to find peace and forgiveness within our own stories is to acknowledge the way that our stories and our lives have impacted us.'

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I dig right into the concept of hitting rock bottom and the transformative power of desperation. I share my personal experiences with mental health and alcoholism, challenging the stereotypical image of rock bottom. I emphasize the importance of validating one's own struggles without comparison to others. 

I discuss the significance of addressing impostor syndrome, lack of confidence, and fear, and highlight the impact of sharing stories in a group setting. My narrative offers an honest portrayal of my journey through multiple bottoms, including an abusive relationship and addiction, underscoring the internal pain that drives change.

I want to talk to you about the themes of 'weathering the storm' and 'feelings are not facts,' exploring how these concepts intertwine in the journey of life. I share my personal experiences in life coaching, where I initially believed that a positive mindset and manifestation could lead to constant happiness. However, I learned that life encompasses both light and dark moments, and true wisdom lies in accepting this duality with neutrality. 

From dealing with emotions to confronting difficult life situations, I discuss the importance of acceptance and how it helps us cope with life's challenges. Through metaphors, like we always do here on The KLS, I illustrate how recognizing reality and taking appropriate actions, rather than reacting impulsively to feelings, leads to personal growth and resilience. Let’s dig in to understand how embracing both the joy and discomfort with patience, faith, and inner strength can help you weather any storm you face.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I brought on Gentry Jones as a special guest to share her story of sobriety and recovery. Despite having supportive parents and no significant trauma, she struggled with fitting in during her adolescence, developing a dependency on alcohol for coping with insecurities and social anxieties. The conversation travels through her high school and college years, detailing the binge drinking episodes, personal struggles, and the wake-up calls that led her to rehab and eventual sobriety. We discuss the societal stigma around alcoholism, the challenging journey to self-acceptance, and the importance of breaking free from the notion that alcoholism has just one face. 

The episode offers a raw, honest look at the challenges of getting and staying sober, the intervention that almost didn’t take, and the critical moments that defined her recovery. Tune in for an inspiring story of resilience and transformation, and learn how she now helps others through her 'Quitter Club' and sober community.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I share my reflections on traveling in Japan and how life's unpredictability often prevented me from sticking to my initial plans, a profound lesson I've learned in recovery. I discuss the importance of living 'life on life's terms' and the need to seek God's will over my own, which means going with the flow rather than insisting on my own way. I also delve into my experiences with recovery meetings, where I find a strong sense of God's presence and a supportive community. 

Most importantly, I go into the misconception that sobriety is boring by highlighting how it is actually filled with joy, creativity, and meaningful moments. I emphasize that living a sober life guided by God's will brings real joy and contentment—gifts that addiction could never offer.

Hey friends, in this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I am once again checking in from Osaka, Japan! I can't believe we're wrapping up an incredible 17-day journey around this amazing country. The food, the culture—everything's been just out of this world. In this episode, I want to drop into how my journey of 7.77 years of sobriety is a massive game-changer for my life. It's about thriving without booze, embracing adventure, and living a life full of discipline and joy.

I’m sharing about 'God Shots'—these divine little nudges that remind me of my path and light up my day with gratitude. Whether it’s a G Wagon sighting, a special number, or just a beautiful moment, these are reminders that God is present in everything. I've been thinking about the grace it took to get sober and build this life I've got now—a business, a house, raising my daughter who’s already traveled and speaks two languages. Honestly, none of it could have happened without choosing sobriety and having faith come first. Reflecting back, there were dark days battling demons and wrestling with faith. Today, I'm living proof that an incredible life is on the other side of addiction, filled with inner peace, prosperous living, and divine connection. It feels surreal, and I'm excited to share more on creating this epic path, finding God's presence in each moment, and the transformation that comes when you say yes to life and relinquish control. Can't wait for you to listen in!

In this episode of the Kori Leigh Show podcast, I'm coming to you from Kyoto, Japan—a place I never dreamed of being. Reflecting on my journey through sobriety, I discuss how many of the most treasured aspects of my life, like being sober, being a mom, and having a successful podcast, were never part of my plan. I delve into the paradox of setting goals while embracing the unexpected, the deep lows of hitting rock bottom, and the profound highs of building a new life in sobriety.

Today marks the start of a mini Japan series where I highlight being sober in Japan, the luxuries and joys of a sober life, and the deep spiritual connections I've made along the way. Stay tuned as we explore how sobriety enhances travel and enriches life's experiences!

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I am digging into the importance of taking action as a prerequisite for feelings like faith, motivation, and gratitude, especially in the context of recovery. Reflecting on my journey through 12-step meetings and 7.8 years of sobriety, I share how embracing the steps in order, taking action even without immediate feelings, and living one day at a time led me to a richer spiritual connection and a fulfilling life. 

I get asked about how I've learned that present-focused living, daily actions, and seeking God's will are essential to achieving the emotional and spiritual growth I sought for years in this episode. I am sharing that answer with you.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I share how my week was completely flipped upside down by motherhood challenges. It felt like one of the hardest weeks since becoming a mom, with my routine getting thrown off by a long weekend and my daughter's sudden illness. I talk about how important routine and discipline are to me and how I try to align my actions with God's will, even when things don't go as planned. 

Through ups and downs, I discuss the idea of the 'narrow path' and how staying flexible and focused on what's in front of me can lead to unexpected blessings and deeper connections. Despite all the chaos, I find comfort in surrendering to the moment and embracing what's really important.

In this vulnerable episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I open up about a deeply personal story from my childhood that shaped my views on death, God, and life. At six years old, I experienced the traumatic loss of my father to a brain aneurysm during a family camping trip, an event that disrupted my entire perception of reality and divinity. I struggled with feelings of abandonment and anger towards God, leading to a convoluted relationship with faith. Fast forward to my adult years, where hitting rock bottom in alcoholism and facing further abandonment in my marriage forced me into a raw confrontation with my grief. 

Through recovery I learned to depersonalize these life events, realizing that life is impersonal and simply unfolds. This shift in perspective allowed me to extract meaningful lessons from my experiences without internalizing the pain. Join me as I navigate these transformative insights, shedding light on the healing power of depersonalizing life's painful moments.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I wanted to talk about the holiday season's emotional intensity upon us, I discuss the dangers of succumbing to instant gratification and the 'YOLO' mindset. Instead, I encourage embracing 'separation season'—a time to refine our discipline and set up for a successful new year. 

Join me as I explore how our daily actions move us toward long-term goals, maintain a clean slate, and foster a closer connection with God.

I reflect on the emotional heaviness and introspection that comes with the shorter, darker days. I emphasize the importance of surrendering to the season, acknowledging our feelings, and finding balance between the call to hibernate and the holiday hustle. 

I am honest in sharing my personal struggles and triumphs, including my journey through sobriety, and offer practical tools for maintaining discipline and self-care amidst life's seasonal paradoxes.

In this short yet powerful episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I challenge you to reflect on your definition of fun, especially during the chaotic holiday season. Drawing from my personal experiences with addiction and recovery, I contrast a life of reckless abandon with a disciplined, fulfilling sober life. I hope this gets you really thinking about the idea of moving the needle forward and living life with intention. This thought-provoking episode encourages you to redefine fun in a way that fosters long-term happiness and alignment with your values, rather than seeking instant gratification.

 "The more that we can learn how to be, the better we become at doing."

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show Podcast, I'm recording from my car on a Monday morning, and I want to share some thoughts as we approach Christmas and the New Year. I discuss the emotional spectrum of the holiday season and the collective reflection on 2024.

I want to invite you to find gratitude, even in small things, and to allow yourself to feel your current emotions. Being present now will enhance our ability to plan and execute our goals for the future. Wishing you all love and clarity as we move into a brand new year.

Christy opens up about coping with grief, the power of prayer, and how surrendering to God transformed her life. She also talks about her book '40 Days of Sobriety,' her coaching work, and the supportive community she's built for women walking a similar path. 

Whether you're rethinking your relationship with alcohol or wanting to deepen your faith, Christy's story is full of hope, practical tips, and inspiration.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I’m diving into something that’s been on my heart lately—finding peace and staying present as we head into 2025. Instead of obsessing over big outcomes and chasing the next destination, I’m talking about aligning with God’s will, which often shows up in the small, everyday moments of life.

I share a bit about my own journey—sobriety, spiritual growth, and what I like to call ‘dog shit spirituality.’ Yep, you read that right! It’s all about finding God’s presence in the mundane things, like walking the dog, making the bed, or just slowing down enough to notice the beauty in the now.

If you’re going through big changes or just feeling the weight of life, this episode is for you. Let’s explore how to stop rushing, embrace where we are, and lean into God’s guidance—one simple, present moment at a time.

🎙️ New year, same you—just a little more aligned.

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I’m kicking off 2025 by flipping the script on the whole “new year, new me” mindset. Instead of chasing endless self-improvement, what if the key to thriving is surrendering? I get real about my own journey—from hitting rock bottom to finding sobriety and, ultimately, peace. I’m sharing what it looks like to balance big goals with deep trust, to connect with God in the messiest seasons, and to embrace the life unfolding right in front of you.

If you’re tired of the hustle and ready to trade striving for surrender, tune in. Let’s make this year about peace, purpose, and showing up fully in the moment.

Welcome back to The Kori Leigh Show! This episode is all about something that’s so much easier said than done—acceptance. Learning to embrace life as it comes (instead of fighting against it) has been a game-changer for me, but trust me, it hasn’t always been easy.

I’m opening up about my own journey—from battling addiction to navigating grief and loss—and how surrendering to God’s plan has helped me find real peace. We’re talking about: ✨ Letting go of control (even when it’s hard) ✨ Ditching the need for instant gratification ✨ Leaning into discomfort to create lasting change

If you’re struggling to accept something in your life right now, this episode is for you.

Hey friends, welcome back to The Kori Leigh Show, this episode is a powerful one. I’m sitting down with Michelle Smith, and she’s opening up about her journey through addiction, recovery, and breaking generational cycles. Michelle grew up in what looked like a picture-perfect home—think Leave it to Beaver—but behind the scenes, she was navigating life with a high-functioning alcoholic father. She shares how that experience shaped her, leading to her own struggles with alcohol, motherhood, and grief.

We talk about hitting rock bottom, the moment she knew something had to change, and how surrendering to the recovery process completely transformed her life. Now, as a sobriety coach, she’s dedicated to helping others find freedom from addiction, and she’s got big dreams of creating a treatment program for women and children. This conversation is raw, real, and full of hope. 

If you’ve ever struggled with addiction, love someone who has, or just want to hear an inspiring story of resilience and healing, this one’s for you. Tune in and let us know what resonates with you.

Sobriety looks different for everyone, but what happens when the choice isn’t just about health—it’s about survival?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between choosing sobriety for wellness versus needing it because of alcoholism. I’ll share my own journey, including the struggles, the realizations, and the surprising freedom that came with accepting the label of "alcoholic." We’ll talk about the power of acceptance, the role of spiritual programs, and why admitting the truth—hard as it may be—can be the key to real healing. If you’ve ever wondered where you stand or how to support someone on this path, this one’s for you. Let’s dive in. 🎧✨

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a nerve-wracking moment—preparing to speak in a women’s prison. I’ll be honest, the nerves were real. But instead of letting fear and overthinking take over, I leaned into the present, trusted God, and reminded myself that saying yes to the scary stuff is where real growth happens.

I’m sharing how I’ve worked through imposter syndrome in the past (like that time I spoke at a nutrition conference and felt totally out of place), and how faith has led me to unexpected, incredible opportunities. If you’ve ever hesitated to step outside your comfort zone, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about letting go of fear, trusting the process, and showing up—even when it feels terrifying.

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.

I used to think prayer was… well, asking for what I wanted. 🙃

I’d throw up requests to the universe (or God) like a cosmic wishlist—hoping for quick fixes, big breakthroughs, and answers that aligned perfectly with my plan. Spoiler alert: That’s not how it works. 😅

In this episode, I’m sharing my journey of completely rethinking prayer—how I went from skeptical and disillusioned to experiencing something way deeper than I ever expected. I’ll talk about:

✨ How my prayers shifted from selfish demands to real surrender ✨ Why embracing the mundane (yes, even the messy parts) is actually the key to connection ✨ My take on what I call “dog sh*t spirituality” 🐕💩—and why it’s more powerful than you think ✨ The magic that happens when we stop trying to control everything and actually live life on life’s terms

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from prayer or struggled with spirituality, this one’s for you. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it might just change the way you see things.

Eight years. That’s how long I’ve been sober. And let me tell you—getting well, recovering from addiction, and building a healthier life? It costs you something. In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I’m opening up about the real price of healing—the mindset shifts, the sacrifices, and the deep, sometimes painful process of letting go of toxic habits, relationships, and substances.

I’ll share the personal milestones that shaped my journey, the grief and isolation I had to navigate, and how my relationship with God became my anchor through it all. Sobriety isn’t just about quitting drinking—it’s about doing the hard work every single day to create a life that actually feels good.

Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it requires discipline, commitment, and a willingness to face things most people run from. But here’s the truth—it’s worth it. And if you’re on this path or thinking about it, I want you to know that you’re not alone.

And if this episode speaks to you, send me a message—I’d love to hear your story. 💛

On this episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I sit down with the incredible Margo Miller for a raw and honest conversation about the hard truths of sobriety. We dive into our personal journeys—how addiction and trauma shaped our stories, the pivotal moments that led us to sobriety, and the powerful role faith and resilience have played in our healing.

We also get real about the stigmas around alcoholism, the misconceptions about recovery, and what it really takes to build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. Sobriety isn’t just about quitting drinking—it’s about stepping into something bigger, facing discomfort head-on, and finding purpose beyond ourselves.

If you're on your own journey or just curious about what life on the other side of addiction looks like, this one is absolutely incredible and you will definitely want to share and listen again.

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.

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.
