Positive Self-Talk

Our main form of communication is through language - spoken, written, and thought. We live in a world full of language and much of it is negative. Is it any wonder that if we so willingly speak to each other negatively that the source may actually stem from how we speak to ourselves? Coach Michelle Keill is on the podcast today talking about how the way we speak to ourselves not only impacts us, but all the relationships we have in our lives. If we want to see better external talk, then we need to start talking better to ourselves.  Speaking well to ourselves is something that God expects of us and he has taught us how to do this. Listen today as Michelle not only talks about the importance of positive self-talk but also gives scriptural references showing the importance God holds in speaking nicely about ourselves. If you’d like help in being better at speaking kindly with yourself, please reach out to Michelle and let her help you.  Enjoy this episode.

Maintaining Relationships while Caregiving

When you're spending all of your time taking care of another person, it feels like everything else in your life comes second to the needs of that person. Family, friends, jobs, everything can take a backseat when you're in the trenches of being a caregiver. But when caregiving stretches from weeks to months to years, life without those other relationships can become much more difficult and unfulfilling. So how can we, as committed and overwhelmed caregivers, maintain the other relationships in our lives? How do we keep up with old friends, stay up to date with extended family, or even maintain a healthy marriage? In this installment of The Lisa Show's series on Caregiving, Lisa talks with caregivers Carlos Olivas, Kara Ryska, Richard Lui, Jeremy Jorgason, and Rach Wilson about they're experiences and advice that they have for other caregivers.

All Things New

For this week’s episode, we’re sharing a conversation we had originally released almost three years ago — before many of you had started listening to the podcast! It’s the discussion we had with Fiona and Terryl Givens about the ground-shifting book they published in 2020 through Faith Matters Publishing, called All Things New: Rethinking Sin, Salvation, and Everything in Between.When this book was first published, we knew it had the potential to truly change lives, and change how Latter-day Saints see the world. It certainly did for us.

Sex Educated

When therapist Bonnie Young was a teen, the subject of sexuality was for her, “drenched in fear.” And many of us can probably relate. For many Latter-day Saints growing up in a sexually conservative culture and with a strict law of chastity — for all of the goods those things can bring — feelings of anxiety, fear, and shame around sexuality may be more the rule rather than the exception.
