Diagnosed With Cancer Twice Before 35, and Still Became a Top Mortgage Producer with Corey Luckow

In this episode of Breakthrough, Chris sits down with Corey Luckow for a raw and grounded conversation about surviving cancer twice before 35, and building a top-performing mortgage career through both battles. They break down what it actually takes to keep showing up when your health, your identity, and your future are all on the line, and how Corey turned two stage 3 melanoma diagnoses into the foundation for a more intentional life, business, and brand. They also talk about her first diagnosis at 20, navigating treatment as a newlywed in a new city, the 10-year mark when cancer came back, and how motherhood shifted everything about how she shows up. The conversation goes deeper into the business side too, how Corey runs a high-volume mortgage business through radical transparency and elite communication, why she protects her energy by cutting out toxic relationships, how she handles sales call anxiety, and what it really means to choose energy givers over energy takers. If you've been navigating a personal crisis, building a career through hard seasons, or trying to lead with more clarity and intention, this is an essential episode. ✅ Connect with Corey: Instagram: @coreyanneluck ✅ Follow Chris: Instagram: @thechrismedellin Chapters 0:00 Intro and meeting Corey Luckow 2:45 The first diagnosis at age 20 6:15 Facing a low survival rate and staying strong 10:30 Treatment as a newlywed in a new city 14:50 The 10-year mark and the second battle 18:30 Navigating motherhood during health challenges 22:15 How to show up for friends with cancer 26:40 Entering the mortgage industry during treatment 30:20 Identifying toxic relationships in business 34:10 Why health is more important than money 38:50 Protecting your reputation and setting boundaries 42:30 Management lessons and learning from mistakes 46:15 Practical hacks for sales call anxiety 49:40 Energy givers versus energy takers 51:15 The communication playbook and how to connect #resilience #cancersurvivor #mortgagepro #mindset #businessgrowth
