Ep. 68: Uncomfortable Truths and Radical Humanity with Corey Leak


Season 4 Episode 68


This week, I had the privilege of sitting down with Corey Leak, host of The Existential Podcast, and this one goes deep.

We talk about everything — from his journey through a cancer diagnosis, to the realities of working in DEI in today's world, to his powerful story of faith deconstruction and how it shapes the way he moves through discomfort.

It's one of those conversations that doesn't tie things up neatly — it opens them. We explore identity, growth, courage, and what it really means to stay human when life tests you.

It's raw, rich, and full of the kind of insights that stay with you long after listening.

MORE ABOUT ME:

I'm a mental health therapist, speaker, author and educator who helps organizations bridge the gap between knowing and doing the things that foster well-being, resilience and success. With expertise in school counseling, trauma-informed practices, and social-emotional intelligence (SEI), I help teams address the root causes of issues such as burnout, communication breakdowns, and resistance to change—rather than just treating surface-level symptoms. My engaging, evidence-based approach equips audiences with the skills to navigate discomfort, build trust and create healthier, more adaptive workplaces.

I'm also a "Resolutionist" with Empowered Workplace Dispute Resolution, where I leverage my trauma-informed expertise to guide difficult conversations with compassion and clarity. I create safe spaces for resolving conflicts, turning challenges into growth opportunities. Whether working with frontline workers, organizational teams or educational leaders, I help people feel seen, heard and valued—transforming disputes into deeper understanding.
