The Kori Leigh Show

50. Let God Lead, Even When You’re Not Sure Where You’re Going

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. 🔥

49. Faith Feels Like a Chess Game—But God’s Already Called Checkmate

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.

48. Let It Be Enough (Even If It Doesn’t Feel Like It)

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.

47. This Wasn’t the Plan—But IT IS the Path | How to Move Through the Big Moments

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.

46. Endings Are Inevitable — But They Might Just Be the Beginning

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.

45. How “Dog Shit Spirituality” Made My Life More Divine

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.

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

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. 💛

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

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.
