Your Gay Psyche is a Temple Where Your Super Comes Alive – Cory Schneider

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.

About Cory Cory Schneider, LMFT, SPHR, CDE (he/him) is a nationally recognized LGBTQ+ psychotherapist, leadership and career coach, and organizational consultant with over 15 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and companies explore the intersection of identity, mental health, and belonging.

181: The Joy of Navigating An Ever Changing Career Ride – Michael Novin

181: The Joy of Navigating An Ever Changing Career Ride – Michael Novin

I'm going to be an actor. No wait, I'm going to be a Broadway star. Nope, I'm going to be a financial planner. Ay yes, I'm going to run a talent agency and be a coach. Sounds like this guy doesn't know what he's doing...but he does. Michael Novin has leaned into his life fully, brining each experience to life and building upon by constantly saying, "If you can, you must!" Today we explore the can and must of navigating the ever changing landscapes of shifting careers and being a gay man over 40! About Michael As someone who has changed careers multiple times, Michael has worked in several vastly different (and fascinating) industries. The unifying theme has been his desire to help, entertain, and guide people to live their best life and perform at their maximum potential. This passion led Michael to become a Certified Professional Coach through the NYU School of Professional Studies. He will also soon be certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). In addition to his coaching practice, he is the owner of the global talent agency Mark Edward Inc., representing, empowering, and motivating photographers, stylists, and makeup artists to achieve their highest goals (www.markedwardinc.com ). Prior to becoming an agent, he was a Certified Financial Advisor, Sales Manager, and Training Coordinator for Merrill Lynch. This was an audacious and revolutionary step from his career as a singer, dancer, and actor on Broadway (where among other skills, he learned to roller-skate his way to fame)! He graduated NYU with a BFA in Acting and a minor in Psychology. Interests include attending the theatre and dance performances, working out, dining out, and spending time with friends and family. It has been a remarkable journey indeed! Connect With Michael Website Facebook LinkedIn Hey Guys, Check This Out! Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?
