Chaos with Kori is a personal storytelling podcast about motherhood, marriage, growth, and the messy, meaningful moments in between. I’m Kori. I share honest reflections on parenting two boys with special needs, navigating relationships, and learning how to move through hard days without losing myself in them. This isn’t about having it all together. It’s about understanding life as it unfolds.

    The One With The Hallmark Bullsh*t

    We were raised on soulmates, grand gestures, boomboxes over heads, and the idea that someday someone would arrive and magically make everything okay. But what happens when real life doesn’t look anything like the movies? In this episode of Chaos with Kori, I talk about the unrealistic expectations we’re sold about love, rescue, motherhood, healing, and emotional support — especially as women and moms. From Hallmark fantasies to therapy sessions squeezed between diapers, ABA, and dinner, this episode is about realizing that maybe nobody was ever meant to carry every part of us forever. Maybe soulmates aren’t people who complete us.Maybe they’re the people who walk beside us while we learn how to carry ourselves. This one is reflective, funny, a little heartbreaking, and deeply honest. And yes… Hallmark still doesn’t make “you didn’t kill yourself” cards. #ChaosWithKori#HallmarkBullshit#Motherhood#MentalHealth#EmotionalLabor#SelfWorth#Soulmates#HealingJourney#PodcastLife#WomenWhoPodcast#TherapyThoughts#ParentingReality#RealTalk#Overthinking#EmotionalSupportStanley#LifeNotMovies#PersonalGrowth#MomLife#HealingIsMessy#ChaosQueen

    The One Where I am Learning to Let Go and I hate It

    I thought I was just being responsible. Turns out… I might be controlling everything just to feel safe. In this episode, I talk about: why I can’t “stand down”what my brain does when I leave the housethe moment I almost skipped a medical appointment because I couldn’t let goand how control slowly started making my world smallerNo neat ending. No fix. Just me, figuring it out in real time. #ChaosWithKori #MentalHealthPodcast #AnxietyTalk #LettingGo #ControlIssues #MomLifeUnfiltered #RealTalkPodcast #EmotionalGrowth #SelfAwareness #PodcastLife #ParentingReality #AnxietySupport #Overthinking #NervousSystem #HealingInProgress #HonestPodcast #WomenInPodcasting #LifeInProgress #TrustTheProcess #PodcastCommunity

    The One for Lily & The Emotional Medic Who Tried

    Some episodes are planned.Some are written. And some… just come from a place you can’t ignore. Yesterday was Lily’s birthday. In this episode, I talk about the kind of grief that doesn’t always have words—the quiet kind that sits underneath everything while life keeps moving. I share what it feels like to be someone who fixes things, who pours love into people… and what happens when love isn’t enough to change the outcome. This isn’t a perfect episode.It’s not polished. It’s just honest. If you’ve ever loved deeply, lost something that should have stayed, or carried a version of life that never got to happen… this one is for you. Happy birthday, Lily. 💛 #ChaosWithKori#TheOneForLily#GriefJourney#Motherhood#LossAndLove#HealingThroughStory#EmotionalMedic#RealTalkPodcast#PodcastLife#HonestConversations#MentalHealthAwareness#GriefSupport#LifeAfterLoss#StorytellingPodcast#WomenInPodcasting

    The One With The Shit Covered Cherries

    You ever feel like life hands you something good… and then immediately dumps on it? In this episode of Chaos with Kori, I talk about what I’ve started calling the “shit-covered cherry” effect — that pattern where you finally find your footing, start becoming the version of yourself you’ve been working toward… and then something blindsides you. After a therapy breakthrough, I thought I was finally expanding into who I wanted to be. Then came the worst pain of my life, an unexpected diagnosis, and a 9:30 p.m. MRI in my pajamas. This episode is about catastrophizing, body betrayal, motherhood fears, music as emotional processing (thank you Ronnie Radke and Florence), and what it means to brace for a fight you didn’t ask for. It’s not inspirational. It’s not tied up neatly. It’s just real. And for what it’s worth… I don’t even like cherries. #ChaosWithKori #ChronicPain #SpineHealth #MRI #MentalHealthPodcast #TherapyJourney #Catastrophizing #Motherhood #ParentingWithAnxiety #HealthScare #PersonalGrowth #EmotionalProcessing #LastResort #FlorenceAndTheMachine #LifeUpdates #Resilience #WomenInPodcasting

  5. The One Where I Am A Emotional Medic

    The One Where I Am A Emotional Medic

    In this episode of Chaos with Kori, I talk about a realization that hit harder than I expected: how often I’ve stepped into the role of emotional medic in relationships, friendships, and life. Always listening.Always supporting.Always trying to stabilize hearts that were never mine to save. What started as compassion slowly turned into a painful pattern — confusing being needed in a crisis with being loved in full. This episode is about the grief of seeing that clearly, the anger of realizing how often I accepted scraps, and the deeper question underneath it all: Who am I when I’m not the one holding everyone else together? This one is raw, honest, and probably one of the most revealing episodes I’ve recorded in a long time. #ChaosWithKori #EmotionalMedic #HealingJourney #SelfWorth #PeoplePleasing #TraumaPatterns #EmotionalBurnout #Relationships #FriendshipPatterns #PodcastLife #MentalHealthPodcast #PersonalGrowth #Boundaries #SelfDiscovery #EmotionalHealing #WomenInPodcasting #StorytimePodcast #InnerWork #WorthBeyondUsefulness #ChaosWithKoriPodcast

    The One Where Women Have Seasons

    There are seasons in a woman’s life where she is becoming someone new — not because she chose it, but because life took her there. Teenage years. Postpartum. Parenting. Menopause. The quiet shifts no one prepares you for. The hurt you were told to swallow. The resentment that forms when you needed steadiness… and didn’t get it. In this episode of Chaos with Kori, I’m talking about what women carry, what we minimize, and what happens when we finally stop enduring quietly. You are allowed to hurt.You are allowed to name it.And you deserve to heal your heart first — and make decisions later. This one is steady. This one is strong. And if you’re in a season of becoming, you’re not alone. #ChaosWithKori#WomensSeasons#PostpartumTruth#MotherhoodRealness#EmotionalHealing#ResentmentAndGrief#MenopauseTalk#WomenSupportingWomen#HealingJourney#PersonalGrowthPodcast#WomenAndWorth#BreakTheSilence#SpineAndSoftness#PodcastForWomen#PostpartumSupport#MarriageStruggles#MentalHealthMatters#HormoneChanges#SelfRespect

    The One Where My Brain Likes Patterns

    Why does my brain always think it sees something coming? In this episode of Chaos with Kori, I’m talking about patterns — the ones that help, the ones that protect, and the ones that sometimes send me spiraling into conclusions that may or may not be true. From overthinking people’s reactions to bracing for rejection before it even happens, this is a look at what it’s like when your brain is always connecting dots… even the ones that might not belong together. It’s honest, a little funny, a little heavy, and very much the chaos of living inside a mind that never stops scanning.

    The One Where I Espresso'd Myself

    What happens when you realize the reason your heart has been vibrating, your brain is running marathons, and your nervous system feels like it’s been shot out of a cannon… is your own coffee machine? In this episode of Chaos with Kori, I confess to a truly humbling discovery: I’ve been accidentally espresso-ing myself. Not making coffee. Not brewing something gentle. Nope. Just casually pulling espresso shots like an overworked barista and then wondering why my body felt like it was in fight-or-flight by 3 p.m. What starts as a chaotic coffee mishap turns into a surprisingly honest reflection on pressure, burnout, and the way so many of us live life in “espresso mode” — concentrated, intense, and running way too hot for way too long. Also, yes… this may explain a lot. So if you’ve ever felt jittery, overwhelmed, over-caffeinated by life, or personally victimized by your own expectations… this one’s for you. Grab a drink (maybe decaf) and let’s talk about it. Welcome back to Chaos with Kori — where the chaos is real, the coping is questionable, and sometimes the biggest problem is the button you didn’t realize you pressed. #ChaosWithKori #PodcastLife #CoffeeChaos #MomLifePodcast #CaffeineOverload #FunnyPodcast #StorytimePodcast #RealLifeChaos #BurnoutTalk #ParentingPodcast #CoffeeHumor #RelatablePodcast #PodcastHumor #WomenInPodcasting
