·26 min·2 clips

Corinne Stokoe reveals how microdosing GLP-1 medication helped her lose 40 pounds after years of frustration.

Corinne Stokoe opens the episode by discussing her recent experience with microdosing GLP-1 medication for weight loss, sharing that she lost 40 pounds after feeling stuck. She transitions to the main topic: the permission to change one's mind. Stokoe explains that this concept was new to her during her recovery from codependency, where she had rigid rules in her marriage with her husband Neil, a recovering addict. She describes how letting go of control and changing her mind allowed her to focus on herself rather than trying to manage others. Stokoe provides a personal example of changing her mind about GLP-1 medication, admitting she once criticized it harshly in a conversation with a friend before later trying it herself and becoming an advocate. She recounts apologizing to that friend for her earlier judgment. Stokoe shares how her parents modeled changing their minds in parenting, such as reversing their stance on cell phones and video games for their children. She connects the theme to religious teachings, discussing the biblical parable of the laborers in the vineyard, which challenges notions of fairness. Stokoe references the story of the woman caught in adultery from John chapter eight, highlighting Jesus's message to think differently. She shares her own journey of changing her mind about scripture reading, moving from self-identification as 'not a scriptorian' to finding strength in daily study. The episode concludes with a challenge to listeners to identify areas where they limit themselves and consider changing their minds. Stokoe ends with a call to action for reviews and shares.
