In this episode, Corrine and Neil dive into a topic that we might all need right now: HOPE. They share a powerful story from a Holocaust survivor who said that while love sustained him, it was hope that ultimately kept him alive. That perspective sets the stage for a heartfelt conversation about why hope matters most when life feels impossible.Corrine reflects on her own experience with postpartum depression and how the words “you will get better, this won’t last forever” became her lifeline. Neil opens up about losing his brothers and how small moments of joy helped him believe life could feel good again. Together, they explore the difference between hope and faith—how hope says maybe I can, while faith is the choice to take the first step forward.They also share simple but powerful ways to bring more hope into everyday life: serving others, stepping into nature, and leaning on something greater than yourself when the weight feels heavy. This episode is a reminder that even in dark seasons, there is still so much good AND so much hope.Resources:Faith, Hope, and You by Richard C.

In this solo episode, Corrine shares a message every parent or anyone navigating change needs to hear: always be at the crossroads. She reflects on what it means to show up for your kids at life’s transition points—whether it’s school drop-offs, post-practice pickups, or simply being there when they walk through the door.She talks about the turbulence that comes with constant change in family life and how kids look to their parents to be the “calm pilot” who reassures them everything will be okay. Corrine also shares practical ways her family stays grounded through the chaos, like daily devotionals in the car, asking better questions after school, their “rose and thorn” dinner tradition, and ending the day with their beloved “prayer star.”Through it all, this episode is a reminder that everything in life is a phase, the hard seasons, the sweet ones, and everything in between.Resources:The Sacred Callings of Fathers and Mothers from the Life of Ezra Taft Benson: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/teachings-of-presidents-of-the-church-ezr[…]-15-the-sacred-callings-of-fathers-and-mothers?lang=engSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Change isn’t always easy. Especially when it means admitting you don’t see things the way you once did.In this solo episode, Corrine shares one of the most freeing lessons she’s learned: you’re allowed to change your mind. She opens up about how codependency once kept her stuck in rigid rules and people-pleasing patterns, and how letting go of control created space for peace, healthier boundaries, and personal freedom.Corrine also tells a vulnerable story about shifting her perspective on GLP-1 medication after once being a vocal critic—and the courage it took to admit she was wrong. Along the way, she reflects on lessons from her parents who modeled humility by saying, “we would’ve done things differently,” and ties it all back to the gospel truth that repentance literally means to change your mind.Through personal stories and scripture, this episode is a reminder that God invites each of us to think differently, see differently, and step into something new.Resources:Read more about Corrine's GLP-1 journey & FAQs here: http://mintarrow.com/microdoseSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Corrine and Neil talk about what it takes to both offer and experience a fresh start. They share personal stories about letting go of bitterness, learning to forgive, and finding peace through the atonement of Jesus Christ. But they also talk about the other side of the equation: how real change happens when someone chooses to do the work, how repentance leads to transformation, and why boundaries and discernment are essential along the way.You’ll hear why C.S. Lewis’s reminder that “to be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable” resonates so deeply, and how Corrine’s own recovery journey taught her the freedom that comes not just from forgiving, but from truly changing. Together, they explore why forgiveness doesn’t mean going back to toxic situations—but it does mean creating space for God’s grace, healing, and the possibility of lasting transformation.Whether you’ve been hurt, are working through regrets of your own, or just want to understand how change really happens, this conversation will give you hope, clarity, and encouragement to embrace the miracle of fresh starts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
