Your Gay Psyche is a Temple Where Your Super Comes Alive – Cory Schneider
What if your anxiety wasn’t something broken—but an invitation?
In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Cory Schneider (LMFT, SPHR, CDE), a queer therapist and leadership coach who brings serious depth to the conversation around identity, mental health, and healing.
We talk about how we’re living in an anxiety generation—where everything from our phones to our trauma histories is working overtime on our nervous systems. Cory unpacks how slowing down, tuning in, and learning to trust your gay psyche (yes, that deep, intuitive voice inside you) is more powerful than trying to hustle your way to peace.
If you’ve ever felt like your anxiety is running the show—or like you’re too “sensitive” for this world—this one’s for you.
You’ll learn:
Why anxiety isn’t your enemy—it’s a message
How our nervous systems are in constant fight-or-flight mode
Why your queer inner knowing is sacred (and how to listen to it)
This isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about coming home to the you that’s already whole.
