The process
What is the process for coming onto the show? The good news is that if you're reading this it means that Kory has already reached out and she wouldn't do this if you hadn't already passed the vibe check! That only leaves what's next:
-
Grab a slot in her calendar for the pre-interview. The pre-interview is just a quick chat in which you and Kory will agree on the focus of your interview, topics to cover, questions to be asked, etc. You'll also schedule the interview at that time.
-
Show up for your interview. It will be a laid-back, 30-ish minute chat together, recorded on Zoom. Make yourself a drink, coffee, etc. Show up. Be yourself. Talk from the heart. Don't worry about mistakes - that's what editing is for!
-
Share your interview with your audience, family, friends, etc. After the interview, Kory will let you know when your episode is live on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc and send you the links and graphics to share.
That's it! There are no other expectations and to be a guest costs NOTHING. Only a bit of your time and energy.

This book is your ultimate guide to greater self-love and personal transformation. Learn how to cut the ties that bind you and step fully into the life you deserve.
When Kory’s mother was murdered, a tragic end to her difficult life, Kory was forced to examine why her story had turned out so differently than her mother’s. They’d had similar traumatic experiences, mental health challenges, and treacherous family dynamics.
Yet, Kory transformed herself from a suicidal, self-destructive, and deeply depressed teen to a well cared for human, while her mother remained ensnared in a generational cycle of abuse, addiction, and suffering. How is that possible?
This book offers deeply personal stories meant to inspire you to take charge of your wellbeing. These easy-to-follow strategies will make a tangible difference in your daily life, no matter how dark or difficult your personal history.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or simply looking to increase your sense of joy and happiness in life, A Well Cared For Human offers the insights and tools you need to thrive.
This is your invitation to create for yourself the inner peace and satisfaction that you’ve been waiting for.
USA TODAY bestselling author Kory M. Shrum has enjoyed a prolific writing career, publishing over thirty books, including the bestselling Shadows in the Water and Dying for a Living series. Kory also expresses her creative spirit through poetry under the name K.B. Marie, showcasing her versatility as a writer.
As a national speaker and engaging podcast host, Kory brings a unique blend of personal experience and insightful strategies to audiences seeking to improve their wellbeing. Her true crime podcast, Who Killed My Mother?, delves into the poignant and personal story of her mother’s tragic death, while her second show, A Well Cared For Human, debunks self-care myths and offers practical advice for self-empowerment.
Her commitment to mental health and environmental conservation is reflected in her philanthropic efforts, where she strives to make a meaningful impact.
When she's not working on her passion projects or creative work, Kory can usually be found under thick blankets with snacks. The kettle is almost always on. She lives in Michigan with her equally bookish wife, Kim, and a very, very spoiled rescue dog, Max.
