In this episode, Corrine and Neil reflect on a lesson that took years to come full circle: the power of listening to your gut, even when it goes against popular advice.Corrine opens up about the decision to restart her Mint Arrow Instagram account from scratch, a choice that felt right in her spirit but went against the advice of nearly everyone around her. Years later, that gut feeling was affirmed by an expert who told her it was exactly what he would’ve recommended. This leads into a deeper conversation about mentorship, personal revelation, and learning to filter advice through your own values, character, and calling.Together, Corrine and Neil share why it’s so important to choose mentors whose lives align with the kind of future you actually want—and how to recognize red flags when someone’s influence, even well-meaning, might be pulling you out of alignment. They also talk about the difference between mimicking someone else's path and building your own with authenticity, wisdom, and spiritual discernment.This episode is a reminder that not all good advice is your good advice—and sometimes, the Spirit will confirm what you already know deep down.Resource mentioned:Leadership and Self-Deception by The Arbinger InstituteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When someone you love is in a mental health crisis, what do you say? How do you show up without panicking or trying to fix it all?In this episode, Corrine and Neil talk through one of the most tender and difficult questions they’ve ever received: “What do you say to someone who says they’re done?”—a phrase that often signals deep emotional pain or even suicidal thoughts.Drawing from principles of recovery, their own personal experiences, and their faith in Jesus Christ, Corrine and Neil explore how to truly support someone who feels like they’ve reached their breaking point. They offer practical tools—like the ACT method (Ask, Care, Tell)—and compassionate reminders that presence matters far more than having the perfect words.They discuss what emotional distress really feels like, how to sit with someone in that darkness without trying to rush them out of it, and why sometimes, saying “just breathe” is more powerful than trying to fix anything. You’ll also hear a thoughtful conversation on the difference between helping someone and trying to control the outcome, and how to lean into faith when everything feels out of your hands.Whether you’re trying to support someone dealing with suicidal ideation or you’re seeking peace in your own struggle, this conversation is a gentle and faith-filled place to begin.Supporting Resources:How to Help Someone in Crisis - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/suicide-how-to-help/how-to-help-someone-in-crisis?lang=engSuicide Prevention and Ministering - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/get-help/suicide?lang=engGive Us This Day Our Daily Bread by Elder D.
