330: Be at the Crossroads
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.

329: You're Allowed to Change Your Mind
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.

328: Fresh Starts and Forgiveness: How Bitterness is Holding You Back
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.
