We all have goals we want to accomplish in our life. Some goals are big and some are small but no matter the size, all goals need certain ingredients to make sure they are accomplished. Coach Lisa Salisbury is no stranger to goal setting as she is a weight loss coach and her clients come to her with the goal to lose weight but what they leave with is so much more. Lisa is on the podcast today talking about how all goals have a sweet spot to accomplishment that lies between too hard and too easy, how planning for the obstacles with curiosity is key to dealing with them, that support is different than accountability in accomplishing your goals, and how the number one person you need support from in making your goals come about is always yourself. Goals are what help us grow and progress but there are great ways to accomplish goals which will make the process more enjoyable and fun. If you would like help with goals - especially losing weight, please reach out to Lisa and let her help you along the way.

We’re all here in the Church today because a teenager had a question and went to the most Divine of sources to get his answer.
Our “Stick With It” series on the Top of Mind podcast continues with Monica Guzman, senior fellow at Braver Angels, host of A Braver Way podcast and author of “I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times.” Guzman (a liberal) describes how countless political conversations with her parents (who voted for Trump twice) helped her understand the power of curiosity to bridge differences and reduce polarization. In this podcast conversation, Monica Guzman shares practical tips, starting with asking ourselves “What am I missing?” when we encounter a perspective that challenges us. “Certainty is the arch-villain of curiosity,” says Guzman. “Curiosity gets sparked at the gap between what you know and what you want to know. Asking ‘What am I missing?’ acknowledges the fact that in most cases you are probably missing something. So it gets your mind to get curious about the gaps that it’s refusing to see.”
In this episode we'll talk about the Book of James. James was an apostle of Jesus Christ, but after the Savior’s mortal ministry had concluded. Christian scholars also believe that he was the half-brother of Jesus, being one of the mortal children of Joseph and Mary. James provides many bits of sound counsel we can use to improve our mental and emotional health. Throughout his writings, he focuses much on the value of showing our faith through our works. We’ll talk about these principles and how they apply to mental health, including how to correct thoughts, take action, and be patient as we wait for change.
Matt shares his struggles of overcoming rejection when he converted to the church as a young adult, as well as overcoming challenging things he since learned within church history.
