She and Heather talk about the power of modeling, the role of timing, and how to support boys in building emotional awareness without lecturing or overwhelming them. Whether you're in the thick of raising teen boys or want to build better emotional foundations in your home, this episode is packed with guidance, humor, and heart.
If your waiting-to-be-read pile keeps growing but your motivation to read keeps shrinking, you're not alone. This week, Janssen Bradshaw from Everyday Reading joins Lisa to help us fall back in love with books. No guilt. No pressure. Just practical ways to make reading feel doable again. She shares tips for easing back in with audiobooks (even if you think they’re not for you), making time to read in the margins of a busy day, and quitting books that aren't for you. Plus, she makes the case for starting with the movie, not the book, and how to set the example of lifelong literacy in a house full of kids. Whether you’re reading your first book in years or your hundredth this year, this episode will help you bring more joy--and more reading--into your life.

This week on Walk with Him, Michelle Craig joined me to talk about Elder Renlund’s general conference talk from April 2025!
This week we are studying Doctrine and Covenants sections 58-59. We’ll talk about how blessings come based on obedience, but usually after there is some tribulation and trial. We’ll review how the idea that we can skip the difficulty in life through good choices is not accurate; most all of our growth comes from our challenges. We’ll discuss the value of moral agency, and how not only do we have the power to overcome our trials, but we have the responsibility to do this as well. We’ll also talk about the role of gratitude in improving our mental health.There are free worksheets available for the invitations made in the weekly podcasts. To get these worksheets, please sign up for my email newsletter. Not only will you get access to the free worksheets, but access to many more free strategies to help manage your mental health.
