Public speaking is a common fear, deeply rooted in many of us. It’s not just about delivering a talk in church or a work presentation that can trigger anxiety. Often, we feel nervous to simply speak up in large groups or voice our opinions.

Studio 5 Contributor Shima Baughman believes that this fear can be overcome with one simple fix: “Think less about you and more about them.”

In Utah, one in seven children is sexually abused, a rate higher than the national average. However, there is hope. A family safety plan can reduce the risk of child sexual abuse and empower both children and adults to recognize and respond to potential dangers.

Emily Bell McCormick is the founder of The Policy Project - a non-profit organization that advocates for equitable policies for children, families, and communities. She was instrumental in passing recent legislation that provides funds for sexual abuse education in public schools.

“We are so excited because now every K through six school in the state of Utah has an opportunity to have this education in the classroom.” This is a significant step forward, but Emily believes that the best classroom is home.

To learn more about the Policy Project and how you can participate, visit thepolicyproject.org. They believe every effort counts in this important cause.

Generation X raised millennials. Millennials are raising Generation Alpha. From each generation to the next, parenting styles change. A new report by Lurie Children's Hospital found nearly 9 out of 10 millennials say their parenting style is different from how they were raised. 98% of millennial parents talk about mental health with their kids, which they say wasn't the case with their parents. 77% feel they are more present with their kids than their parents were.

Studio 5 Contributor Heather Johnson shared WHY millennials are doing it differently and what they are doing right.

Whether it was the snake oil salesman of the 1800s or the Master Cleanse that would cure all your problems in the late 90s, people have been falling for false wellness claims for centuries. Whether we want to speed up our metabolism or gain extra muscle mass, people don’t necessarily fall for false wellness claims because they’re gullible, mostly it’s because many of us are looking to fill gaps in the health care system that may leave us feeling dismissed or unheard. Now, with many health gurus with large podcast platforms and viral TikToks making crazy claims, no one is immune from falling for a scam.

Studio 5 Health Contributor Miki Eberhardt shared how to separate fact from fiction when it comes to wellness.

Stereotypically, boys are taught to be tough... to push through the pain and pick themselves back up. Perhaps even hide what they’re really feeling. This common perception of masculinity is being challenged by individuals like former Philadelphia Eagle center, Jason Kelce.

During a recent press conference announcing his retirement, Jason, along with his brother Travis Kelce, displayed a level of emotional openness that is often considered atypical for men. This public display of emotion begs the question, what did mama Kelce do to raise such emotionally available boys?

Studio 5 Parenting Contributor Heather Johnson shared her insights.

There's burnout, and then there's emotional burnout. Often, you don't feel it because you don't have time to feel it - life is busy. Emotional burnout can surface after the loss of a family member, a serious health scare, or any sort of trial. It's when you're tired of being sad, and sad that you feel so tired.

Studio 5 Relationship Contributor Dr. Matt Townsend believes most of us don't even know what emotional overwhelm is, and many people experience it without realizing. He shared how to know if you’re emotionally burnt out and ways to overcome it.
