Dr. Marc Milstein, author of The Age-Proof Brain, joins Lisa to explore what neuroscience can teach us about protecting our memory and cognitive health.  You don't have to overhaul your life overnight. Sometimes adding a few healthy habits is enough to make a difference.

It’s easy to unintentionally raise entitled kids, especially when we’re trying to give them more than we had growing up. Amy McCready joins Lisa to talk about what entitlement looks like at every age, how parents may be contributing to it without realizing it, and how we can foster gratitude, responsibility, and independence (even with our adult children).

Even the practices that once brought us joy and connection can start to feel stale or overwhelming over time. Cali Black joins Lisa to talk about how we can rediscover meaning in scripture study, prayer, Sabbath observance, and other nourishing practices by letting go of perfectionism and returning to our “why.”
