In this episode, Corrine sits down with Jessica N. Turner—bestselling author, speaker, and creator who helps women navigate real-life challenges with intention and grace. Jessica opens up about the deeply personal story behind her latest book I Thought It Would Be Better Than This, which she wrote to help others facing disappointment, heartbreak, or life not going as planned.

Jessica shares how her life changed when her husband came out during the pandemic, leading to divorce and a full reimagining of her future. She and Corrine talk about what it means to make “the best imperfect choice,” the emotional work of forgiveness (for others and yourself), and how even after profound loss, there’s still room to dream again.

They also dive into the importance of finding the right therapist, building strong friendships (like the “reallys,” as Jessica’s daughter calls them), and why asking for prayer or help is a brave and beautiful act. Jessica’s story is a moving reminder that disappointment doesn’t have to be the end of your story—it can be the beginning of something brand new.

In this episode, Corrine and Neil open up about a topic that doesn’t often get talked about seriously: the dark side of humor. From painful middle school memories to grown-up mistakes made in a split second on social media, they get real about the fine line between making people laugh and unintentionally hurting someone’s feelings.

They talk candidly about why April Fool’s Day can feel triggering, how jokes at someone else’s expense often backfire, and how a quick laugh isn’t worth the cost of someone’s dignity. They also share powerful examples from their own life—moments they regret and lessons they’ve learned—plus what it really looks like to repent, repair, and aim for more thoughtful humor.

The episode touches on everything from text group slip-ups to the brilliance of comedians like Nate Bargatze and the legacy of Robin Williams. It’s a message about leading with kindness, thinking before speaking, and how humor, when used well, can still bring light and connection without leaving anyone behind.

In this episode, Corrine and Neil unpack what to do when you get offended—a follow-up to their recent conversation about repentance (Ep 309). They share personal stories and recovery insights about how resentment can quietly take root and how holding on to offense can block spiritual growth and peace.

Neil opens up about working through resentment after his brother’s death and how forgiveness became essential to his healing. Corrine reflects on how stress is often tied to focusing inward and how shifting toward serving others and surrendering control to God brings relief and perspective.

A key theme of this discussion is the power of ownership: why learning to speak from the “I” and “me” perspective, instead of projecting with “you” or “we,” is essential in healing conversations. Together, they offer heartfelt advice on letting go of resentment, cleaning up your side of the street, and inviting God into your process of moving forward.

This conversation is for anyone wanting to let go of lingering hurts, release resentment, and find peace through grace and accountability.

Change can be scary—whether it’s stepping into a new season of life, starting something unfamiliar, or supporting a loved one through a big transition. In this episode, Corrine sits down with Natalyn O. Lewis, better known as Natty—a human behavior and performance expert who has spent over 25 years helping people understand fear, emotional resilience, and what it takes to truly thrive.

Natty shares how fear isn’t a sign to stop—it’s actually a sign you’re on the right path. She explains the “window of tolerance” and why managing stress and emotions the right way can help you move forward with confidence instead of shutting down. She also dives into the real reasons why people start things but don’t finish them—and how to break free from that cycle.

Beyond her work with business leaders and athletes, Natty has a deep passion for helping missionaries and their moms navigate the emotional challenges that come with missionary life. Through her project, Missionaries, Moms, and Mondays, she’s equipping families with tools to make this experience one of growth rather than survival.

Whether you’re preparing for a mission, supporting a missionary, or simply facing a season of change, this conversation will help you shift your mindset, push past fear, and embrace the process of becoming the person you were meant to be.

When you hear the word repentance, what comes to mind? For many, it carries feelings of guilt, shame, or fear. But what if repentance was never meant to be about punishment—but rather about hope, growth, and a fresh start?

In this episode, Corrine and Neil unpack the true meaning of repentance and why it’s actually one of the most loving, freeing, and powerful gifts we’ve been given. They discuss why repentance is a process—not a one-time event, how it’s more about turning toward God than dwelling on mistakes, and why embracing it with the right perspective leads to real change, peace, and joy.

They also share personal stories, including a cherished memory involving Dr. Terry and how a simple but powerful call to "Repent!" completely shifted Corrine’s perspective. Neil shares an insightful definition from the Bible Dictionary, explaining repentance as a fresh view and a turning of the heart.

Together, they discuss why repentance requires patience and humility, and explore the role of church leaders in guiding us through change. This conversation is all about reframing repentance—not as something to fear, but as a hopeful, ongoing journey toward becoming the best version of ourselves.

Megan shares the heartbreaking story of her sister Emily Dyches, who suffered from severe postpartum anxiety before tragically losing her life. Through Emily’s story, Megan sheds light on the silent battles so many moms face, the stigma that keeps women from speaking up, and the resources that can truly help.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by all the things you're supposed to remember or do when it comes to faith? In this episode, Corrine and Neil dive into why keeping gospel teachings simple is so important—especially when guiding kids and teens. They share personal stories, including a high school moment that left Corrine spiraling over a confusing phrase (“the devil is in the details”), and how Neil’s recent seminary lesson reinforced the power of focusing on core principles.

Together, they explore the shift from rigid religious rules to a principle-based approach, the power of repetition in learning (spoiler: there’s a 50 States song involved), and why the most life-changing messages—whether in faith, business or even politics—are always the simplest ones. If you've ever worried about teaching your kids the "right" way or felt like faith is too complex to grasp, this conversation will bring so much clarity and encouragement.

Intimacy in marriage is one of the most important yet often least discussed topics, especially in faith-based circles. In this episode, Corrine and Neil open up about their own journey—what they’ve learned, what’s changed over the years, and why communication is everything when it comes to connection. From navigating different love languages to understanding the role of intimacy beyond just physical connection, they break down the small but meaningful shifts that can make a big difference in a relationship.

They also share surprising insights from a recent study on how often married couples with kids are actually intimate (hint: it’s probably less than social media makes you think!). Plus, Corrine gets candid about the backlash she received after writing about intimacy on Substack and why so many women feel like they have nowhere to turn for real, honest conversations on this topic.

If you’ve ever felt like you and your spouse are just coexisting instead of truly connecting, or if you’ve struggled with mismatched expectations in marriage, this episode is full of insights and real-life experiences that will leave you feeling encouraged, validated, and equipped with a fresh perspective on prioritizing intimacy in a way that actually strengthens your relationship.
