'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.

44. The Real Cost of Getting Sober (And Why It’s Worth It) 31:38

for 6 dager siden31:38

31:38

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. 💛 Connect with Me on Instagram @korileigh | @korileigh.co If you enjoyed this episode please share with someone you love, leave a rating & review, and follow so you are notified when a new episode drops!

43. Sh*t is Going to Hit the Fan – Why Sobriety Is the Hardest & Best Thing You'll Ever Do Conversation with Margot Miller Psychotherapist & Quantum Leap Coach 1:09:38

for 13 dager siden1:09:38

1:09:38

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.

42. When God Calls, You Go—Even If You’re Terrified… What I Was Thinking Before Speaking at a Women’s Prison 23:08

for 20 dager siden23:08

23:08

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.

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.

40. Recovery is the New Black | Interview with Michelle Smith on Family, Faith, and Sobriety 1:11:58

for 5 weeks siden1:11:58

1:11:58

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.

for 7 weeks siden37:59

37:59

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.
