  • Debunking Modern-Day Motherhood Myths

    Host of The Mom Show on KSL Newsradio, Lindsay Aerts, explores modern-day motherhood myths; how social networking, media images, and other messages can make moms feel inadequate. She explores myths such as enjoying motherhood all the time, the myth that what you're seeing on TV and on social media is true to reality, and the myth that there's one right way to parent.

  • Seeking a Path to Safety
    “Seeking a Path to Safety” is a conversation between KSL’s Amanda Dickson and the leading thinkers from law enforcement, mental health, government and family about how we can keep our schools safer – and not just our schools, but our churches, theaters and other public places. How do we help the young people who have grown up never knowing a time when “school shooting” was not a thing? What can we do when we know someone who seems dangerous?   What part of the puzzle is arming our teachers or ourselves? What role does the media play, and lastly, what can each one of us do today to make a difference. Commissioner of Public Safety Keith Squires, Director of Child and Adolescent Therapy at Wasatch Family Therapy Clair Mellenthin and Former Chief of Staff to Senator Mike Lee/Current Opinion Editor of the Deseret News Boyd Matheson help us as we seek a path to safety.

  • Forgiveness and Health

     The bible commands us to forgive others, and, according to some research, your health may depend on it. Doctors say letting go of grudges and bitterness can make way for happiness, health, peace, better relationships, and greater spiritual, physical and mental well-being. But not forgiving can cause anxiety, stress, and hostility. During this hour, Dr. Todd Thatcher of Valley Behavioral Health explains about how to get down to the underlying issues that may keep us from forgiving. We also have a conversation with Bishop Scott B. Hayashi of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah, about what forgiveness is, why we need it, and how it happens.
