How can I maintain friendships as a parent? | The Council of Moms16 Feb 202400:28:29
As a parent, it can feel like every waking moment is dedicated to taking care of the people who need our help. There's always another diaper change, or soccer practice, or choir recital, or meal to make, and there doesn't seem to be any time left over for ourselves. So how can we make and keep friendships with anyone other than our partner? In this episode of the Council of Moms, Lisa is joined by friends and fellow moms Liv Mendoza, Whitney Call, and Allison Dayton to talk about their experiences and best advice.
Advocating for Yourself and Navigating the "System" - Caregiving, Part 814 Nov 202300:44:04
Any caregiver will tell you that maybe one of the harshest realities of taking care of another person is just how much time you spend dealing with the "system"--meaning meeting with doctors, making calls to insurance providers, emailing pharmacies, working with government programs, and handling all of the logistical pieces necessary to support someone who needs it. It can become a full-time job in and of itself, and at times that "system" can feel cold and uncaring towards the people it's ostensibly supposed to be helping. So what can we do to better navigate the logistical side of caregiving? Lisa talks with life coach Lauren Lowery, author Jillian Benfield, and director of Development for Remedy Alpine Amy Bushatz--all caregivers themselves--about how we can better advocate for ourselves during difficult conversations.
Preparing for the End - Caregiving, Part 707 Nov 202300:44:53
Many caregivers feel the approach of inevitable change to their role, and an "end" to the way life looks and feels right now. Lisa is joined by Emilie Campbell, Richard Lui, Barbara Karnes, Elizabeth Miller, and John Sovec to explore the nuances of transitioning to the "after" stage of caregiving, whether that looks like empty nesting, transitioning to residential care, or becoming a "Godspeed Caregiver" following the death of a loved one receiving hospice care.
Maintaining Relationships while Caregiving - Caregiving, Part 631 Oct 202300:29:31
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.
Caregiver Burnout - Caregiving, Part 517 Oct 202300:37:21
You wake up at 4 a.m. freezing cold, trembling, and with a feeling of despair. What's happening here? Caregiver burnout can look different for everyone, ranging from quiet chronic fatigue, to drastic health declines, as the physical, mental and emotional toll of caregiving reaches critical mass. In this episode, three caregivers (Mishka Sibert, Susanne White, and Rach Wilson) share their unique experiences of burnout while caring for a sibling, parents, or children, as well as how they coped and recovered their wellbeing. Lisa explores their journeys with glass child syndrome, nominal aphasia, nervous system dysregulation, and the intense exhaustion that so often accompanies a the caregiving role. Teepa Snow shares the signs that a caregiver is experiencing burnout, and how to identify these red flags even when burnout can look so different from one person to another.
Doing More Than Saying "Let me know how I can help!" - Caregiving, Part 410 Oct 202300:32:42
It's a phrase that is all too familiar to every caregiver. Some well-meaning person, in an attempt to show their support, will say, "Let me know what I can for you!" While on the surface it may seem like a helpful thing to say, for the caregiver, this phrase is often just a superficial act that only serves to increase the amount of stress on their already-full plate. So what SHOULD someone do when they want to support the overwhelmed caregiver in their life? In this episode of The Lisa Show's episode on caregiving, Lisa talks with caregivers in several walks of life, as well as experts David Schenk and Suzanne Degges-White, to figure out the best ways to offer relief.
Loneliness and Isolation - Caregiving, Part 303 Oct 202300:38:50
Have you ever been surrounded by people, and still felt profoundly alone? Lisa talks with Dr. Julianne Jolt-Lunstad and Dr. Suzanne Degges-White about the impact of loneliness on caregivers with experts, and the root causes of this intense experience. Emilie Campbell shares her experience as a special mom to 16-year old Connor, and how she copes with the long-term emotional marathon of aloneness in caregiving.
Perfectionism in Caregiving - Caregiving, Part 226 Sep 202300:34:32
When it comes to caregiving, why do we think we have to do everything and do it all perfectly? How can we have more compassion for ourselves? Lisa talks to caregivers and caregiving experts about perfectionism, self-talk, and the importance of loving ourselves even--and especially--when we feel like our best isn’t good enough.
Everyone Has a Stake in the Caregiving Conversation - Caregiving, Part 119 Sep 202300:26:38
Nearly all of us will eventually become a caregiver or a recipient of care—so how can we prepare now? Lisa Valentine Clark kicks off this season by exploring the need for more conversation about caregiving. Dr. Lance Erickson explains how social expectations, age, and gender influence who ends up in caregiving roles. Dr. Natali Edmonds of Dementia Careblazers shares how talking about caregiving beforehand helped her prepare for her own caregiving experience, and Jeremy Jorgason discusses lesser known ways that caregiving can become more intense than anyone expects. Caregiving is overwhelming, wonderful, painful, beautiful, and poignant—and it’s better when we face it together.
Your Brain On Creativity - Creativity, Part 529 Aug 202300:32:26
In the last episode of the Creativity series, Lisa explores how creativity changes us from the inside out. With the help of researchers Joshua Katz, Jack Goncalo, and Lynne Vincent, Lisa looks at how creativity can change our perception of real life—and why that can be a good thing. She examines the relationship between selflessness and creativity, the way being creative can help us process and heal in profound ways, and the unparalleled power of creativity to restore human agency.
Finding Your Creative Identity - Creativity, Part 422 Aug 202300:25:52
Most of us can’t quit our day jobs to be creative full-time, but that doesn’t mean we can’t live creative lives. In fact, in the words of professional artist Andrea Hardeman, any time you’re showing up as your authentic self, you’re being creative. In this episode of The Lisa Show, Lisa joins forces with Andrea, creativity researcher Jack Goncalo and the Council of Moms (Lauren Johnston and Kimberly Beatty) to explore the relationship between authenticity and creativity, the importance of dissent and self-expression, and how to find your creative identity.
How do I balance my work with parenting? | The Council of Moms08 Mar 202400:26:45
For a mom who decides they are ready to go back to work after being home with the kids for a long time, there can be a lot of complex emotions involved with that transition. They might think, will this hurt my relationship with my kids? Will they think I'm a bad mom? Am I being selfish? In this episode of The Lisa Show's Council of Moms, Lisa sits down with friends and fellow moms Clarissa Greenwall, Lindsay Clark, and Alison Faulkner to discuss what experiences and advice they have for people in this situation.
Silencing Your Inner Critic and Finding Flow - Creativity, Part 315 Aug 202300:28:46
There are so many reasons to create. But sometimes it seems like there are just as many reasons to put it off, edit your efforts to death, or just give up altogether. What's the relationship between our inner critic, and creative block? How can we push past that to unlock the flow state? Lisa is joined by her brother, James Valentine, and the Shenanigans--Lauren Johnston, Kimberly Beatty, Katie Craig, and Jasmine Jackman, to break down sustainable creative habits and the best ways to silence that little voice standing between us and our creative potential.
Finding Connection and Community - Creativity, Part 208 Aug 202300:26:06
People will often talk about creative pursuits as a way to make friends--maybe you'll meet people at a pottery class, or you'll find people who are interested in the same music as you. But what we don't often discuss is how creativity connects us not only to the people around us, but also to ourselves! In the episode of The Lisa Show's series on creativity, Lisa talks with friends and experts to find out how being creative can help us understand ourselves, the people around us, and our place in the universe. No small task!
You're More Creative Than You Think - Creativity, Part 101 Aug 202300:35:38
Are you a creative person? Everyone answers this question differently. Whether you feel too busy to participate in your old hobbies, or you think there's "not a single creative bone in your body”, there's no limit to the obstacles keeping us from exploring our creative sides. But as it turns out, there's a science to the way we define our creative potential--and knowing the odds makes it easier to beat them. Lisa chats with Drs. Lynne Vincent and Jack Goncalo, as well as James Valentine, about what makes a person creative or not--and how to overcome some of the biggest misconceptions standing between us and our most creative selves.
Building Community - Your Life Online, Part 727 Jun 202300:28:34
We live in a time of unprecedented loneliness. Even in the luckiest of circumstances, when we're surrounded by supportive friends and family, we might be feeling crushing loneliness in one facet of our lives or another. Maybe you have a chronic illness that no one seems to understand. Or maybe it feels like you're the only one that's struggling to raise a troublesome toddler. Whatever the circumstances, there's a community out there that can help. In this final installment of The Lisa Show's series on Your Life Online, Lisa talks to friends and experts to learn how we can use the internet tools at our disposal to feel a little less isolated and alone.
Am I Addicted to My Phone? - Your Life Online, Part 620 Jun 202300:34:09
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.
Improving Media Literacy - Your Life Online, Part 513 Jun 202300:28:51
Do you remember the last time you read a headline or a post online, and later found out it wasn’t true? How did you feel? How did it change the way you see the world? The internet is filled with people sharing information, whether they’re journalists breaking a big story, or influencers talking about their favorite skincare products, or even just family members talking about things that interest them. And no matter what your personal beliefs are, it can be hard to always spot incorrect or completely false information when it comes up. So what can we do? And what difference can media literacy make in our lives? Lisa talks to cybersecurity expert Amanda Hughes, media literacy professor Julia Smith, as well as her producer McKay to find out.
Teaching Kids to be Intentional Online - Your Life Online, Part 406 Jun 202300:28:29
Kids love technology, and it can be a lot of pressure on parents to decide how much access is appropriate for each kid. How can we know if we're setting healthy boundaries with our kids regarding technology? How much screen time is too much? In this episode, Lisa joins forces with Brooke Romney, Trent Ray, and The Council of Moms (Aimee Hopkin and Kacy Faulconer) to find out. There are more resources available than ever to educate parents on helping kids use tech in a healthy way. Although every parent has a different strategy to managing screens in their home, finding an individualized approach based on the needs of your family (and supporting other parents in their tailored approaches) can be the key in healthy relationships to technology for the whole family.
Staying Safe on the Internet - Your Life Online, Part 330 May 202300:35:37
When you think about your kids using the internet, what do you think about? Is it the many uplifting and educational opportunities that exist online? Or is the first thing that comes to mine one of the many dangerous and threatening corners of the internet that you hope your kids never find? As parents and internet-users in general, safety is always a concern. We don't want to slip up and give sensitive information to a scammer or stalker. But what about our emotional safety? How can we protect our mental health while also protecting our passwords? In this episode of The Lisa Show's series on Your Life Online Lisa talks to Ricardo Rosas, data privacy expert Trent Ray, and mental health education Natasha Devon to find out.
Finding Your Voice on Different Platforms -Your Life Online, Part 223 May 202300:32:41
Most of us are on more than one social media platform. Whether it's Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter etc., each one has its own vibe and culture. So what does it say about us when what we share is molded by these unique spaces? Lisa assembles a Council of Moms with a wide range of comfort levels online, and they discuss the variety in social media and how to make it work for you. Lisa's friend Aimee gives some poignant advice on dating apps, and keeping yourself emotionally safe when using media that incentivizes you to pretend. Lisa shares her experience as a young mom in England, and how to cope when it feels like you're the only uncomfortable person in the room (or chatroom).
The Myth of Authenticity - Your Life Online, Part 116 May 202300:27:39
Do you feel like the way you represent yourself online is the "real" you? Is it even possible to be completely "authentic" on social media? In this first episode in The Lisa Show's series about life online, Lisa dives into the idea of being "authentic." What does it mean? Why do we feel so much pressure to figure it out? And is it even worth trying? She talks to author and legendary blogger Gabrielle Blair, social media expert Dr. Anna Akbari, and the Council of Moms (Kacy Faulconer and Aimee Hopkin) in order to find out.

Making Changes that Stick - Body Image, Part 1211 Apr 202300:34:56
Okay. So maybe you've watched an inspiring movie. Or you read a great self-help book. Or maybe you listened to a life-changing podcast series about body image. And now you're all fired up to make changes, to live more healthily, and to be kinder to yourself. And then it's happily ever after, right? We all know it's not that easy. Even the person with the best body image in the world will run into hard days, when being healthy physically and emotionally isn't as easy as it used to be. So how can we improve our body image for good? And what does long-term self-love actually look like? In this final installment of the Lisa Show's Body Image series, Lisa talks with the Council of Moms (consisting this week of Gina James and Emily Campbell), former professional dancer Jess Spinner, professional model and actor Gabe Hansen, and body image expert Connie Sobczak, to find answers.
How Social Media Affects Body Image - Body Image, Part 1104 Apr 202300:36:04
Most of us have figured out the first part on our own—social media has a way of making us feel worse about ourselves. But new research on the effects of social media on body image introduce a twist: we have a lot more power than we think. Despite the negative impacts of idealized images and relentless confidence-sapping messaging, social media also has the potential to be a powerful tool for good, if we apply some careful strategy to the way we use it. Lisa gathers family and friends in the Council of Moms with Gina James and Emilie Campbell, to get firsthand perspectives of social media changing the way we relate to our bodies. Body image researcher Dr. Jessica Alleva joins the conversation with fascinating results from studies which tested the ability for body image to improve, and the way social media fits into that equation. Social media guru Alison Faulkner shares her dramatic experience with body image and traumatic injury, how the demands of social media shaped her body image, and how she took back the reigns in order to heal, and share that healing with others.
Talking To Your Partner About Their Body - Body Image, Part 1028 Mar 202300:26:12
In most of our relationships, when it comes to bodies the best idea is just to not worry about things that don't pertain to us. It's their body, their health, and it's not our place to judge. But with our romantic partner, there's no escaping how our bodies play a role in the relationship. We're there for the highs and lows, the good body image days and the bad, and we all want to feel loved, desired, confident, and safe. So how do we build our romantic connection on a foundation of healthy body image? In this installment of The Lisa Show's series on Body Image, Lisa talks to the Council of Moms (consisting this week of Katie Craig, Natalie Madsen, and Suzanne Clark) and eating disorder specialist Signe Darpinian to find the best advice.

Loving Every Change - Body Image, Part 921 Mar 202300:31:30
What would you do if your boss called you into their office for some feedback... because you revealed your age? Lisa shares her experience of the weird mixed messaging that so many of us experience when it comes to change and getting older. A special intergenerational Council of Moms reflects on different transitions that have impacted their body image, and how they learned to overcome personal and societal expectations for how their bodies would look or feel through pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause and all the other little transitions in between. They discuss moving past "turning back the clock" and on to loving bodies that were always meant to change.
Finding the Right Reasons to Exercise - Body Image, Part 814 Mar 202300:27:21
How often do you go out and exercise not because you feel like you have to, or because you feel guilty that it's been too long, but because is was fun? It seems like in our busy lives often the only thing that can get us off of the couch and moving our bodies is the body shame we feel about not doing as much as we should be. But who is determining what exercise "should" look like in our lives? And is that expectation even a healthy one? In this episode of The Lisa Show's series on Body Image, Lisa talks with personal trainer Matt Peale, mental health expert John Sovec, and this week's Council of Moms (Whitney Call, Emily Spencer, and Josephine Bills) to figure out where we went wrong when it comes to exercise and how we can make things right.
Reclaiming Food and Nutrition - Body Image, Part 707 Mar 202300:35:47
How do you know what to eat? Trying to find good information is harder than ever, especially in a diet culture-saturated world that insists "you are what you eat", distorts the idea of health, and encourages toxic relationships with food. Finding peace with the fuel which powers us is critical to enjoying a rich life and loving our bodies. Lisa assembles intuitive eating coach Saskia Carr, food scientist Michelle Menden, and the Council of Moms for a conversation about managing food and nutrition for ourselves and our kids. They discuss food rules, counteracting diet culture in their homes, and how they overcome the food anxiety, comparison, and perfectionism that so often comes to the table.
Understanding Obesity and Being "Healthy" - Body Image, Part 628 Feb 202300:32:02
Whenever "body positivity" is mentioned, many people have a gut reaction of, "But we don't want to glorify obesity--that would be unhealthy!" It seems like many people see quote-unquote "healthy" living as something that can't coexist with loving your body at any size. On the other hand, many people are advocating for greater body love wherever body conversations are happening: in advertising, in movies, at the dinner table, and even at the doctor's office. So where is the disconnect? And how can we live our healthiest lives now, physically and emotionally, while working towards whatever goals we're shooting for? In this episode of The Lisa Show's series on Body Image, Lisa seeks to better understand what the term, "obesity" actually means, both medically and practically in the lives of those experiencing it. She talks to body image coach Amanda Martinez Beck and obesity specialist Dr. Katherine H. Saunders to hear their personal stories as well as to learn what "healthy" should really mean for each of us, and how we can all do better to help both ourselves and the people around us find the emotional and physical joy that we deserve.
Community, Representation, and Decolonizing Beauty - Body Image, Part 521 Feb 202300:37:08
What role does a community play in making a safe space for all bodies? How do Eurocentric beauty standards affect us individually and collectively? Lisa sits down with Bryson Alejandro and Rachel Ostler, who share their own journeys of body love as people of color and as advocates for better media representation. Dr. Gigi Awad shares some of the psychology behind body image, the impact of idealized images on our brains, and how we can be a little more aware of stigmas that we may not even know we have, so that we can make our environment--onscreen and off--better for everyone.
Talking to Kids About Their Bodies - Body Image, Part 414 Feb 202300:30:41
Despite their best efforts, even the most motivated parents will often find themselves in a situation where they feel lost and unprepared. And this might never be more true than when it comes to talking to our kids about their bodies. It can feel like a minefield of potential lifelong trauma-- how can we possibly know what the right thing is to say? In this episode of The Lisa Show's series on Body Image, Lisa talks to the Council of Moms (this week consisting of Julie Taylor and Tamalin Christen), body image coach Amanda Martinez Beck, and mental health expert Dr. Gail Saltz to find out how what we can do to set our kids up for success when it comes to the way they see their bodies.
Identifying and Healing Disordered Eating - Body Image, Part 307 Feb 202300:45:32
How do I know if my relationship with food is "healthy"? Lisa explores eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, and OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders) and their impact. Racquel shares her experience with an eating disorder, and the journey that brought her to recovery and self-love with the help of mental health professionals and dieticians. Amy Harman LMFT, CEDS-S gives insight on the ways society has normalized disordered thinking and eating, and how we can recognize counterproductive attitudes toward food in our own behavior. Lisa reflects on the subtle messages around us that encourage toxic relationships with food, and how we can work to destigmatize this incredibly common experience, so that we can heal, and encourage others around us in their journeys of healing and recovery.

How do I decide what to feed my kids? | The Council of Moms15 Mar 202400:27:25
The eternal, unavoidable struggle of parenting: after planning out a week of meals, making sure they're nutritious, finding foods that the kids will like, grocery shopping, and mustering the energy every day to actually make those meals, the end of the week rolls around and we have to start all over again. How do we keep up? How do we keep pushing the boulder of feeding a family up the hill week after week, especially if we don't particularly love cooking in the first place? In this episode of The Lisa Show's Council of Moms, Lisa is joined by friends and fellow moms Amy Gifford, Clarissa Greenwalt, and Cassie Barger to talk about their advice and experiences.
Deconstructing Shame - Body Image, Part 231 Jan 202300:27:38
In the online discussion about body image, there's often a disconnect when it comes to the terms that are used. Some people talk about "body shame" with an understanding that it is a negative and toxic emotion that can lead to serious trauma and mental illness. Others will talk about "body shame" to refer to what they see as a healthy motivation to eat healthier foods and exercise more regularly. How can people who are using the same phrase to refer to almost opposite ideas have an effective conversation about how we can best take care of ourselves? In this installment in The Lisa Show's Body Image series, Lisa tries to establish a foundation of common understanding around shame, positivity, guilt, and love, so that we can be in the best frame of mind to start improving our relationships with our bodies. She talks to the Council of Moms (Tamalin Christen and Julie Taylor), head of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating Mike David, and reevaluates her own history with body shame in the process.
This Year I Will Love My Body - Body Image, Part 124 Jan 202300:23:14
At the beginning of a new year and a new series on Body Image, Lisa and Kacy discuss the tragic legacy of Helen of Troy — the "most beautiful woman on earth" of myth and legend — and how body comparison and beauty expectations affect the way we see ourselves in the age of social media. Lisa reflects on the changes in her own body image over time, and the common ground in many stories of body image and self-love.
The Paradox of Self-Care and Parenting - Self Care, Part 1106 Dec 202200:38:34
As parents, sometimes it feels like the only way to take care of ourselves is to take unnecessary time away from our kids. But if we give our kids everything that they need, we're not doing enough to take care of ourselves. So how can we find this impossible balance? In the conclusion of The Lisa Show's series on Self-Care, Lisa talks with therapist Jaime Ballard, the Council of Moms (Jeanette Bennett and Angie King), and a host of venerated experts (small children), to find out what's at the heart of this parenting paradox, and what we can do to build a sustainable and fulfilling life for us and for our kids.
While Supporting a Loved One's Mental Health - Self Care, Part 1029 Nov 202200:37:32
When a child, a spouse, or a friend is struggling with their mental health, it can be difficult to focus on anything else, least of all yourself. Whether due to depression, anxiety, or any other disorder, it hurts to see someone you love suffer, and it can also present new challenges in your relationships. Lisa reflects on a time her efforts backfired while trying to support a child in crisis. Rebecca Bingham shares her experience as a mom of children with severe behavioral and mental health needs. Dr. Jaime Ballard breaks down appropriate roles as a parent, a friend, or a significant other, and how to have conversations which preserve emotional well-being and safety.
Escaping the Downward Spiral of Mental Health - Self Care, Part 922 Nov 202200:37:01
Do you ever feel like your mental health is struggling, but taking time to find a therapist or pay for medication will only make you more stressed? This cycle of not getting the help we need can be isolating, overwhelming, and can take us to some very intense emotional places. Lisa talks with her producer McKay and with the Council of Moms (Ganel-Lyn Condie, Rebecca Bingham, and Ashley Reeves) about their experiences, and gets some suggestions from LMFT Dr. John Sovec about how we can build daily self-care routines that bolster our mental health, as well as tips for when to seek out professional help. Mental illness is a serious and sometimes life-threatening condition, and you deserve to have all the help that you need. If you would like to find a mental health professional or support group in your area, visit https://www.mentalhealth.org or if you find yourself in a moment of crisis, dial 9-8-8 for the National Crisis Hotline and someone will help talk you through it.
Overcoming Comparison Without Deleting Instagram - Self Care, Part 815 Nov 202200:38:39
After a long day cleaning up after kids and dealing with teenagers, going on social media for a break can backfire, forcing you to see that your 4-year-old niece just mastered calculus and your unbelievably photogenic acquaintance from high school is on yet another Disney cruise. Social media is just one place where comparison can often turn toxic and hurtful, replacing confidence and satisfaction with the gnawing feeling that others are better off and better than. If “comparison is the thief of joy”, how can we manage this subconscious habit so that it increases our self-esteem and our supports self-care? Lisa talks with the Council of Moms (Hailey Smith and Tanya Quinn) to find out, shares her own experiences, and breaks down the connections that we're looking for when we compare ourselves to others.
Financial Self-Care & The Hidden Meaning in Your Money - Self Care, Part 708 Nov 202200:38:58
Self-care and spending your money are not the same (despite all those targeted ads saying otherwise!) but your approach to finances could say more than you think about your attitude toward self-care. Lisa gathers friends (Heather Bigley & Lindsay Clark) and a financial guru (Kyle Bigler) to explore the complicated relationship between our inner selves and our money (or lack thereof), how to relate to resources sustainably and in a healthy way, and how to honor the parts of our lives with the highest value—and maybe splurge on velvet pants along the way.
Social Stamina & Friendships - Self Care, Part 601 Nov 202200:32:16
What's your perfect Friday night? A fulfilling social life can look dramatically different from one person to the next, even in the same family. Whether you dream of crowded dinner parties or blissful solitude with a book, knowing your defaults can help you manage social stamina, and deepen relationships that matter. Lisa assembles a wide collection of friends and family, introverts and extroverts, to explore the ins and outs of social self-care.
It's Not You, It's Me - Setting Boundaries with Your Partner - Self Care, Part 525 Oct 202200:40:13
In a perfect world, the people we share our lives with would automatically know and provide exactly what we need. But for most of us, even identifying our own needs can be a challenge. This episode explores the dynamics of self-care within our most important relationships, including finding a balanced give-and-take, enrolling a partner in healthy boundaries, and communicating authentically. Lisa calls on the Council of Moms (Amy Hackworth and Amelia Kuhlmann) and Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife to explore self-love and true love.
(The Myth of) Work-Life Balance - Self Care, Part 418 Oct 202200:36:40
Life has a way of getting busier, but taking care of yourself is important as ever, and even more so when juggling a hectic schedule. The Council of Moms (Vanessa Quigley and Carrie Ann Rhodes) looks at a spectrum of experiences, from roadside french fries to high rise corporate deals. Ken and Katie Craig revisit a memory of an impromptu lifestyle offer that sounded a little too good to be true, and Lisa shares how one drastic decision in pursuit of a better work-life balance changed the course of her family's life.
How do I help my kids cope with moving? | The Council of Moms01 Mar 202400:27:53
