Welcome to The Kori Leigh Show. I am your host, Kori. I am a recovering alcoholic, mom, a former boss babe, while still being a business owner learning to submit to God and my husband - kind of woman. I’ve spent a lifetime dealing with mental health issues, addiction, a hardened heart and nervous system that was on perpetual overdrive from my dark and twisted past, trusting nobody. I entered into a couple decades of chaos and self-destruction after hitting rock bottom a few times and ultimately admitting defeat in December of 2016. I believe wholeheartedly that my moment of absolute desperation was the moment that saved my life, and it was here that I found God, and 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. I am 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. What was once fake faith has turned into real faith and a life beyond what I could have ever imagined for myself. I am so glad you found this podcast. Though we may not always share the same stories, we often share the same feelings. And as a woman who was saved by God and fellowship, it is my greatest honor to be of service by bringing you stories from men and women who have felt the darkness, who hit rock bottom, and who have come to know faith and hope and serenity in a way that they never dreamt possible. As we say in recovery, find the similarities and not the differences - together we heal.

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.

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.
