Mint Arrow Messages

This episode is a Mint Arrow Messages greatest hit, originally aired in 2023 and brought back today because its message still meets so many of us right where we are.In this episode, Corrine and Neil set aside a planned Easter message and process the heaviness of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville out loud with listeners. Speaking as parents, they open up about fear, grief, and the ache of dropping kids off at school in a world shaped by gun violence. They do not claim to be experts, but share personal experiences and faith-centered teachings that have helped them navigate loss, prayer, parenting, and the question of why bad things happen to good people.With honesty and compassion, they talk about free agency, collective prayer, school safety, and the tension around “thoughts and prayers,” while acknowledging the helpless and frustrated feelings so many carry. This episode offers a safe space to process grief, seek peace, and remember that hope and faith can exist even in the middle of sorrow, and you are warmly invited to listen again or for the first time.

Nearly two decades after her first time attending the temple, Corrine sits down with her dad, Grant Foster, for one of the most meaningful conversations ever shared on Mint Arrow Messages. This listener-favorite episode is being reshared because its message continues to resonate deeply, especially in seasons when slowing down and returning to faith-centered foundations matters more than ever.Corrine reflects on the temple orientation that changed her entire first experience and how learning that God works in patterns brought clarity and peace. Together, Corrine and Grant talk about preparing for the temple with intention, worthiness without perfection, and learning spiritual truths line upon line. Grant draws from decades of church leadership and temple worship, including his current service as Mission President of the Philippines Urdaneta Mission, to share why focusing on how you feel often matters more than understanding everything at once.The conversation weaves together scripture, temple symbolism, and real-life application, connecting ancient patterns found in the Old Testament, the Tabernacle, and Gethsemane to modern temple worship. They discuss covenant living, integrity, consecration, discernment, and how these principles shape marriage, family life, decision-making, and spiritual growth over time.Whether you are preparing to attend the temple for the first time or simply seeking more peace, perspective, and connection with God, this episode offers a grounding reminder of why returning to sacred spaces can quietly change everything.If you like hanging out here, @corrinestokoe shares day-to-day life, what she is using, and things that genuinely help her on Instagram stories, where she is most active.

Marriage doesn’t need a total reset to get better. It often just needs honesty, consistency, and a willingness to start small.In this episode, Corrine sits down with author Chelsea Smith to talk about practical, real-life ways to strengthen your marriage one day at a time.

Together, Corrine and Chelsea talk about communication, unmet expectations, intimacy, and why sex can be a powerful connector in marriage, especially during seasons of stress, grief, or parenting.Faith is woven throughout the conversation as Chelsea explains how turning to God for wholeness releases the pressure for marriage or a spouse to be perfect.

In this episode, Corrine and Neil share a simple story that turned into a powerful reminder about discernment and integrity. After test-playing several Steinway pianos, Corrine realized that the one that looked the prettiest on the outside wasn’t the one with the “rich and deep” sound she loved. Instead, the piano that felt like “the soul was speaking” to her was the one that didn’t look perfect at all.That experience opened the door to a bigger conversation about the scripture “By their fruits ye shall know them.” Corrine and Neil talk about how this same principle showed up again in an unexpected business conversation, and how true character and true value always reveals itself in the fruit, not the shine.Neil also shares how this applies in recovery, where “you can’t fake the fruit,” and how real change only comes through rigorous honesty and the atonement of Jesus Christ.This episode offers a grounded, faith-centered look at how to recognize what’s real, how to see people clearly, and how God helps us discern the truth beneath the surface.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

They share how traditions become “anchors” for families, why familiar foods, smells, and rituals make Christmas feel magical, and how simple moments often become the memories children cherish most.They also open up about their biggest early-marriage misunderstandings, which came from unspoken expectations on Christmas Eve, and how it taught them to communicate clearly, blend their families’ traditions, and avoid holiday stress. With honesty and humor, they walk through what helps couples stay on the same page and create a Christ-centered Christmas without perfectionism or overwhelm.Along with favorite listener traditions, Corrine and Neil offer practical pillars for making the season meaningful, including anchoring in faith, embracing familiar cues, choosing fun for kids, and letting everyone participate even when it is messy or imperfect.

How do you continue to feel connected to God during seasons of transition?In this episode, Corrine and Neil open up about navigating the change in leadership after the passing of President Russell M. Nelson, the Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the sustaining of President Dallin H. Oaks as the new President of the Church.

Greatest Hit Series: This originally aired as Episode 227.So many Christians mix up Christlike love with codependent behavior—but Jesus Himself never rescued people from their consequences, avoided conflict to keep the peace, or ran Himself into burnout trying to fix everyone.In this episode, Corrine and Neil break down why Jesus was NOT codependent, and how understanding His true example can bring more peace, agency, and healthy boundaries into your relationships.They walk through powerful scriptures from Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” to the Sermon on the Mount, that show how Jesus honored agency, let people choose their own path, and taught us to love others without losing ourselves. Corrine also explains how people-pleasing, rescuing, and overgiving keep us stuck in codependent cycles, and what Christ actually modeled instead: clarity, compassion, rest, and perfect love.If you want to learn how to set healthy boundaries, stop over-functioning, or love others in a more Christ-centered way, this conversation will give you hope, relief, and a totally new perspective on what it means to follow Jesus.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After being told she “didn’t have enough personality” for a project and feeling out of place at a work event, Corrine realized how quickly we can chase validation from people instead of from God.She shares how the Spirit reminded her not to prove her worth, and how rejection can actually be divine protection. With warmth and honesty, she reflects on God’s “GPS,” how detours often lead to better destinations, and why our value was decided long before anyone’s opinion.This episode is a reminder that even when we feel unseen or misunderstood, God is still guiding the route and His redirection is never a mistake.See 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.

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.

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.

In this episode, Corrine and Neil share the spiritual spark that came from revisiting one of Corrine’s favorite reads—At the Pulpit, a collection of powerful discourses by Latter-day Saint women. One particular talk led them into a heartfelt discussion about the difference between simply going through the motions and being truly anchored in the principles of the gospel. Together, they reflect on how easy it can be to drift spiritually when our faith is based more on practices or traditions than on personal testimony and truth. Corrine opens up about a recent moment that helped her see temple garments in a completely new light, and Neil shares how a mission experience taught him to separate procedures from eternal principles. Because the gospel was never meant to be memorized and recited—it was meant to be lived, loved, and understood from the inside out.
