The Power of Resilience: Seamus Corry's Journey to TruthIn this episode of 'The Power of the Truth Podcast,' host Fran Willoughby interviews Seamus Corry, a mental health practitioner and wellbeing consultant, who shares his deeply moving and honest life story. Seamus discusses his upbringing in a devout Catholic family in rural Ireland, his early designation as a future priest, and the countless challenges he faced during his seminary training. He opens up about grappling with intense internal conflicts, societal pressures, a tragic suicide of a peer, and a personal crisis that led him to leave the priesthood.
