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.

His work is grounded in evidence-based practices, queer-affirmative frameworks, and a deep commitment to social justice.

Whether he’s speaking on the psychology of identity, supporting a couple rebuilding trust, or helping an organization transform its workplace culture, Cory shows up with curiosity, clarity, and care.

291: Max Austin – We can’t be wrong and other gay truths

Throughout history, all we have heard as gay men is that being gay is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Yet, we often ask ourselves, "How can we be wrong?" Debut author Max Austin, shares his insights about his life in the '90s amongst the HIV/AIDS crisis and the shame, vile bullying he experienced as a nurse, which led him to constantly ask the question that is the title of his book, "How can we be wrong? In this episode: Learn the horrible bullying the HIV/AIDs crisis brought on our gay brothers and caretakers Uncover how to have the resilience regardless of the battle as a gay man The most important things to do to keep our dignity as gay men in a world of hate About Max Max Austin has many passions: his husband, his two children, his writing and his work as a nurse. Oh, and not to forget the family dog of course! Through his writing and lived experiences, Max wants to give a voice to silenced and marginalised LBGTQIA+ groups. He is honoured and humbled that his biofictional memoir ‘How Can We Be Wrong?’  has found a home with Spectrum Books; a dedicated LBGTQIA+ publisher.  Max has been a keynote speaker at LBGTQIA+ inclusion conferences. For Max, kind inclusiveness in health care and indeed our broader society is as vital as breathing. When not working as a nurse or writing, he loves nothing more than spending time with his children and husband.
