Am I Addicted to My Phone?

So many of us wonder if we're on our phones too much. It's easy to turn to social media or other online spaces to numb feelings of anxiety, depression or loneliness, even if we know that it can impact our mental health in the long term. How do we break this cycle? In this episode, Lisa talks with our very own producer Becca Hurley about her experiences with technology addiction. Lisa and the Council of Moms (Ashlynn Allen and Angie King) discuss how to put our phones down and be present with our families, and licensed therapist Dr. John Sovec shares advice on how to become more mindful of our technology use, and create the space for intentional choices that keep us in control.

Finding the Strengths in Your ADHD Child

Parenting any child is difficult but when you add on obstacles that don’t fall within what most consider the “normal” range, parenting can become even more challenging.

Top of Mind Episodes That Challenged Us

We’re wrapping up Season 3 of Top of Mind “Finding Fairness” with a look at some of the Stick With It moments it delivered for our team. One of our goals for each episode is to find perspectives that will challenge us to examine our own views more closely. Often that’s uncomfortable, but if we stick with that discomfort, it can lead to finding new empathy or greater clarity. In this podcast episode, Julie and other members of the Top of Mind team reflect on episodes during Season 3 that challenged them to examine their own views and behaviors more closely around topics including prison reform, pollution, gun violence, healthcare, and free speech. Did you have a Stick With It moment listening to an episode of Top of Mind’s Season 3 about “Finding Fairness?” We’d love to hear it. Email your story to topofmind@byu.edu.

Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19

In this episode we'll talk about Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, and John 19. We'll talk about the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. We’ll review the account of Pilate and how his best instincts were to release Jesus without punishment. But as he was influenced by the voice of the people, he delivered the Savior to His death. We’ll talk about the problems that can happen from listening too much to the opinions of others and not exercising agency in righteousness. We’ll also discuss the concept of interpersonal boundaries. We’ll review how having good boundaries is critical to healthy relationships, and how increasing self-confidence can help improve boundaries with others.
