Mint Arrow Messages

Ever wondered how to truly support your kids through their unique challenges? In this episode, we chat with Justin Reeves, a dedicated educator and school administrator who believes in celebrating every step of students' progress. Justin emphasizes the importance of recognizing all forms of achievement, from significant academic milestones to smaller personal victories, and how overcoming obstacles with a positive mindset can make a big difference.

Drawing from his own experiences and a powerful encounter with Aaron Ralston—who, after a life-threatening situation, chose to thank the boulder that trapped him—Justin shares valuable insights on staying optimistic. He reminds us of his favorite quote from the band 311: “Stay positive and love your life.” This conversation is a heartfelt reminder to appreciate each teen’s journey and encourage them to stay positive, no matter the challenges they face. Tune in for an inspiring discussion on supporting and celebrating the teens in your life!

In this episode, I had the joy of sitting down with Taylor Cain Matz from the Christian band CAIN. Taylor shared the inspiration behind their new children’s book I’m So Blessed, and the powerful message it conveys: understanding our identity as children of God. We talked about how she imparts this belief to her own children and the profound impact it has on their lives. Taylor also shared how faith and music intertwine in her journey and offered practical advice on how to trust in God’s plan and find peace through daily spiritual practices. I hope you’ll find her insights as inspiring as I did! For more on Taylor and her band, visit CainTheBand.com and follow them on Instagram at @CainTheBand.

 The law of chastity can be seen as awkward, old fashioned and prude-ish. But for whatever reason, today it felt like the topic we were supposed to share. Neil and I share our thoughts, experiences and feelings about the law of chastity and why we believe it can be a gift and protection from God.

Todays interview is with the co-founder of Contour Health, Melissa Musso, where we’re talking mostly about my experience with weight loss and GLP-1 medication, some of the shame and misconceptions and breakthroughs I personally had as I explored this as an option for my health. I decided to do this interview because honestly I get so many DMs about this that I knew it would be easier to tell the whole story, with Melissa, on a podcast where people could hear and really see how amazing she is! We tell the story of how Melissa helped me, even before I officially started going to her as my medical provider. If you listen to this and want to work with Melissa, you can go to contourhealthrx.com. She has assembled a team of like minded providers who are all providing the highest quality patient care. You can definitely book with Melissa but sometimes she’s booked out for weeks, so if you don’t want to wait, the other nurse practitioners in her company are excellent and will give you that same level of amazing care. And exclusively for mint arrow messages listeners, if you mention that you found contour health from mint arrow, you’ll get 10% off your first month. Again the website is contourhealthrx.com and now let’s get into the interview!
