Our days are made up of micro moments, and these small interactions are often… frustrating. Your internet is being slow during a Google search, or the person who drove the car last forgot to fill up that empty gas tank. And am I the only one who sees the overflowing trash can? For all of those situations, and more like it, it’s important to have high frustration tolerance because how we handle the micro moments determines the look and feel of our big picture.

Studio 5 Parenting Contributor Heather Johnson emphasized the importance of coaching the little people in our lives who might need help with frustration tolerance.

As Heather put it, “Let’s be honest, all families have a kid that maybe gets set off a little easier than most.”

Some things are just better together, even vitamins. If you're taking more than a daily multivitamin, have you ever wondered if you should combine vitamins together?

Every day, we make an estimated 35,000 decisions. Some are simple, like what to wear, while others are more significant, like how to react when things get tough. But what if there was one decision you could make each morning that could guide all the rest and help you live intentionally?

Author and speaker Allie Hill believes in the power of setting daily intentions.

We often talk about how to avoid conflict in relationships. But since we’re imperfect, we might still raise our voices, be impatient, dismissive, even unkind. Mistakes are sometimes unavoidable. But there is something you can always control - how you make up for it.

Studio 5 Parenting Contributor Heather Johnson believes weekly and daily repairs might be the #1 relationship strategy. Yet, she’s seen in her counseling office that many people are unwilling to repair or don’t know how.

Every few years, a new buzzword emerges that encapsulates what we’re seeking or craving. In the past, we’ve seen words like "balance" and "authenticity "dominate our conversations. But now, a new word is starting to emerge in our conversations, in our books, in our podcasts. The word is "intention." Women have a desire to lead a more intentional life, and we’re helping you chase it and choose it.

The word intention is deep and meaningful. It signifies something that is done on purpose or deliberately. Studio 5 Relationship Contributor Dr. Matt Townsend shared how we can choose to have a more intentional life.

The movement has been happening for so long. Plant based milks are sweeping through our kitchens and grocery store aisles. First it was soy milk, and then almond milk soon stole the spotlight. Now the latest big thing in the non-dairy milk category is oat milk. It's a hot ticket item at places like Costco and Trader Joe's, and is  projected to explode in popularity over the next few years.

Studio 5 Health Contributor Miki Eberhardt shared the low down on all the options out there if you're wondering which is best for you.

Good girl talk is more than just talk. When we really share, woman to woman, those exchanges have the ability to shape us, change us, and push us forward. So essentially, you could argue, good girl talk is about growth. It's a truth at the center of our series, On My Mind, where we invite women you know, love, and admire to crack it open and share whatever thought is ruminating in their mind and their heart.

Natalie Hill Jensen thrives on connection. We first got to know Natalie through her blog, “Mormon in Manhattan,” an online journal of her dating adventures while she was living a glittery New York life and Broadway career. She’s an actress, and her most recent film project, “Sweet on You,” was our rom-com fix of 2023.

As her husband Alex took a new position with the Dallas, Mavericks, she embraced a line on her resume: “Dallas housewife. That’s a compliment. I’m loving it. I’m honored. I love Dallas.”

You know those magical moments when everything else in life fades away, and it's just you and the task at hand? You're so dialed in on a project or a moment that you lose track of time and think of nothing else. It's called the flow state, and it has some pretty serious health benefits.

According to the website, Very Well Mind, the flow state “is associated with increased happiness, higher intrinsic motivation, greater creativity, better emotional regulation, among a long list of other positive effects.”

Dr. Allison Mangrum shared how to start incorporating this flow state into your weekly, or even daily routine. She believes you don’t have to wait for it to happen- you can make it happen!

It’s the friends who remember, and the friends who notice. It’s the girlfriends who follow up and encourage. They’re not just being kind, they’re being intentional. Intentional is a buzzword in our current conversation. We are reading it, we are hearing it... but we want to start living it.

Studio 5 Contributor Kelly Jensen shared her insights on how to be a more intentional friend.
