Love Woolies (0:00:00)

Do you have a piece of clothing that, despite all the stains or holes you’ve put in it, you just can’t bring yourself to get rid of? Whether it be a shirt, skirt or sweater...our clothes have been with us through the most memorable times of life. It’s that same sentiment that makes it so tragic when we finally accept that they’re too worn to keep in our closet. But what if these used sweaters could be made beautiful again... recycled and remade into something else? Joining us today is Marcella Hill, owner of Love Woolies, a clothing brand that repurposes old sweaters into different products. But her story goes deeper than just repurposing old clothes. She reached out to us by our email, The Lisa Show at BYU dot EDU, because she felt inspired to share her story with us.

The Science of Yawning (0:12:51)

Yawning is one of those weird bodily functions that we don’t think much about. It just... happens. But have you noticed that when someone else yawns, you yawn too? What makes yawning so contagious? Science hasn’t come up with a definitive answer yet, but there is one psychologist who has some insights. We’ve invited Dr. Andrew Gallup, professor of evolutionary psychology and internationally-renowned yawning expert, onto the show today to teach us more.

Make Your Bed (0:33:28)

Making the bed is such a simple task, yet many of us still don’t make our beds even as adults. We wake up late, scarf down breakfast and rush to work... telling ourselves that the mere seconds it would take to pull up our sheets is time we don’t have. But this small morning task might have a much bigger impact than we realize. Our next guest believes it could even change the world. Admiral William H. McRaven is a retired U.S. Navy four-star admiral and the author of “Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life... And Maybe the World.” He joins us to share his simple tips that he believes will improve our lives.

National Pancake Day (0:50:38)

The age-old debate is whether pancakes or waffles are the best breakfast food. But regardless of your personal preference, we are celebrating pancakes today, because it’s National Pancake Day! Every year for the past 15 years, IHOP gives out free pancakes and collects donations for charity on National Pancake Day. They’ve been able to raise millions of dollars since they started in 2006, and we wanted to highlight the good they’re doing. We’ve invited Stephanie Peterson, head of communications at IHOP, to talk about the money they’ve raised and how you can participate this year.

Laundry Love (1:05:21)

Laundry is expensive. Americans spend just under 4 million dollars a year on buying washing machines alone. That doesn’t even take into consideration all the money spent on water, electricity, soap, and fabric softener. And laundromats eat your quarters faster than you can eat your groceries. Being able to wash your clothes is a luxury that many can’t afford. Laundry Love is an organization that focuses on helping homeless and impoverished members of the community in Hamilton, Montana wash their dirty laundry. Here to talk about her organization and how they’re helping the community is Laundry Love founder Stefani Jackson.

Repairing Relationships with In-Laws (1:22:11)

When you marry your spouse, you’re also marrying their family. Sometimes the in-laws are wonderful to be around, but other times they make you question why you ever considered marrying into their family in the first place. But while you don’t get to pick your family, you do get some say in how your relationship is going to be. While everyone’s relationship with their in-laws is different, some are seriously struggling with theirs. Joining us to discuss how to repair relationships with our in-laws is Dr. Andrea Polard, a psychologist and author.

School after 50 (0:00:00)

For those who are middle-aged and didn’t finish college because life had other plans for you, chances are you’ve thought about going back. You might be afraid of being the oldest one in all your classes or having to form study groups with high school graduates. But you will be comforted to know that 7.4 million students in colleges and universities across the U.S. are 25 years or older. Here to help us overcome our initial skepticism of going back to school as adults is Dr. Laurie Quinn, interim president at Champlain College in Vermont. She’s here to talk about why so many adults are going back to college and the pros and cons of doing so.

Black History Month (0:15:31)

In school, we all learned about George Washington, JFK, and Susan B Anthony. But did you learn about Claudette Colvin, Crispus Attucks, or Maya Angelou? Black history in the context of American history is often forgotten. But, as Americans, it’s important to remember that African American history is American history. Here to talk about the importance of Black History Month is Jeanetta Williams, president of the Salt Lake City chapter of the NAACP.

Lies We Tell Our Kids (0:32:59)

Do any of these lies sound familiar? Vegetables give you superpowers. The internet turns off at 8pm. Gum will stay in your stomach for 7 years if you swallow it. Drinking caffeine will stunt your growth. As parents, sometimes we tell our kids little white lies in hopes that they’ll behave. But sometimes I wonder if this is the right parenting move. Here to talk about the potential benefits and harms of lying to our children is friend of the show Carrie Ann Rhodes.

Effects of Online Dating (0:50:36)

I don’t think that anyone will disagree with me when I say that dating today looks different than it used to. In the days before the internet, you would ask out the girl or boy in your social studies class or your friends would set you up. Nowadays, it’s all about the swiping and matching online. So, what effects have these dating apps really had on the dating landscape? To find out, we invited celebrity matchmaker Carmelia Ray to tell us about the changes she’s seen in her almost 30 years of working in the dating industry.

Ultra Running (1:07:12)

You’ve heard of half marathons and marathons… but have you heard of Ultra marathons? They’re just as intense as they sound. Ultra-marathons are races that are any distance longer than a regular 26.2-mile marathon. The people who run these races are seemingly superhuman. We wanted to know more about these amazing runners and extreme marathons, so we invited Paul Ronto from Run Repeat who collaborated on a study of ultra-marathons.

Energy-Saving Gadgets (1:24:32)

Do you ever look around your house and realize just how much energy you use up? The average US household has about 65 devices always drawing power even when they’re turned off, and the U.S. spends $19 billion on this vampire power. Reducing the amount of energy your household consumes can save money and the environment. Luckily, it can be as simple as switching out some electronics. Here to tell us what technology we can incorporate into our homes that will help us save money and power is Suzanne Kantra. Suzanne is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Techlicious.com.

Picking the Right Babysitter (0:00:00)

When date night rolls around with our husband or wife, we often face the daunting task of finding a babysitter. It’s important to spend quality time with our spouses, but it’s hard to leave our kids at home, especially when they’re little. So how do you find the right babysitter, someone you can trust with your kids, so you can enjoy time alone with your significant other? Today we’re joined by Amanda Christian, the Director of External Relations at the babysitting company SafeSitter, to discuss the process of finding the perfect babysitter.

Making Friends as an Adult (0:15:49)

I think we sometimes underestimate how important friendship is. Especially as adults, we forget about making friends or maintaining our friendships, because we have so many other things fighting for our attention. But, a study at Harvard found that having good, solid friendships is equally as vital to happiness as maintaining good mental health! So if friendship is so beneficial, how do we make good friends as busy adults? With us today is Ken Craig, author and philanthropist, to share his advice on the subject.

Password Security (0:36:45)

Tech expert and friend of the show Joel Jacobs talks with Lisa about what we should be doing to protect our passwords from being hacked.

New Year Check-In (0:50:36)

Lisa and Richie check in with each other on their progress with their New Year’s goals for 2020.

Paying Taxes (1:06:31)

April 15th, the day that taxes are due, is still a few months away. But it’s never too early to get started on your tax prep, because taxes can be confusing and complicated. So today we wanted to start by addressing one question that everyone has at one point or another: Are we paying too much or too little in taxes? It’s important to know if we’re doing it correctly so that we’re not struggling throughout the year or suffering at the end. So here to answer our questions about the amount we’re paying in taxes and help us prepare for Tax Day, is Shanyn Stewart. Shanyn is a federally licensed tax practitioner and Financial Educator and Tax Master.

Weekend Review (1:25:56)

From Acquaintance to Best Friend (0:00:00)

Do you have a lot of surface level friends? I think that sometimes we get so busy that we don’t invest a lot into our friendships. We keep our friends at arm's length and centimeter deep. It’s not that we don’t like them, it’s just hard to find time or energy to connect with them. And if they’re a new acquaintance, finding common ground is always a challenge. That’s why we have Dr. Marisa Franco with us today, a psychologist and friendship expert, to talk with us about how we can form closer friends and deepen the friendships we've already made.

What's in a Name? (0:16:17)

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare wrote, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” He seemed to be on to something here... this idea that names can’t change who we really are. Yet, we’re still so fascinated with names. They stick with us forever. So, we invited Dr. Cleveland Evans, professor of psychology and former president of the American Name Society, to talk with us about the significance of names and how they affect us.

Career Mentors for Teens (0:37:11)

For many of us, we probably switched our college major multiple times before settling on one. And even after we graduated college, our career paths have taken many twists and turns. Figuring out your future takes time and trying different jobs to find whatyou like. And helping our kids figure out their career path can be just as stressful, because we’re invested in their future as much as our own. If you’re in this situation where you’re trying to help your kids make big decisions for their lives, you might consider finding a career mentor. Joining us today to help us understand what a career mentor is and how to find one, is Dr. Jennifer Powell-Lunder, a clinical psychologist.

Black Literature (0:50:37)

Many of us remember reading authors like Charles Dickens, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway in high school, but too often, either intentionally or unintentionally, English classes focus purely on white male authors such as these and end up cutting out important works of literature written by people of color. Because this month is black history month, we want to spend some time discussing how black literature is taught in schools, and how we can do a better job of including authors of all colors in school curriculums. Here to share their perspectives on the subject is Dr. Riche Richardson, professor of African American Literature, and poet Dr. Randall Horton.

Mini Book Club: Revived Classics (1:09:20)

Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about the classic books that are still worth picking up today.

Mindsets (1:25:37)

Do you ever wonder why you see things differently than those around you? While one person may see a situation as a challenge meant to be avoided, another might see it as an opportunity for growth. It all depends on our mindsets! Mindsets shape the lives we lead and the actions we take, so knowing how to fine-tune your mindset is important! Here to tell us everything we need to know about developing the right mindset for success is Ryan Gottfredson. Ryan is a mental success coach and leadership consultant.

Lisa’s Adventure Club: Lake Tahoe (0:00:00)

Welcome Back to Lisa’s Adventure Club! I’m sure you have many destinations on your wish-list like Rome, the Swiss Alps, or Hawaii. But, not all of our adventures need to be on the other side of the word. I’ve got a place that’s a short drive or plane ride away that you should consider adding to your destination list: Lake Tahoe! This large, freshwater lake is right on the state line between Nevada and California, but even if you aren’t from that region of the world, this beautiful natural wonder is worth the adventure. Joining us to help us plan a trip to this beautiful lake is Director of Communications for North Lake Tahoe, Liz Bowling.

THON (0:19:41)

Do you ever feel that you want to make a difference but that your impact wouldn’t be big enough if you tried? That thought never stopped the students of Penn State University in 1973 when they held a dance marathon to raise money for a cause. Since 1973 this dance marathon known as THON has become the world’s largest student-run charity having raised more than $168 million to raise awareness for childhood cancer! Today we’re talking with Regina Duesler about this inspiring event and how we all can make an impact in our own communities. Regina Duesler is the Executive Director of THON, the world’s largest student-run philanthropy.

It’s Just Dinner (0:34:05)

Last year Visa reported that the average family spent over $1,000on prom. With people spending more and more money on extravagant dates, it’s no surprise that the younger generations’ perception of dating has changed along with its dating culture. With big dates considered the norm and simple dates, like getting ice cream, happening less and less, our kids are struggling to find the fun in dating, let alone date at all. After hearing about the terrible dating culture among college students at Brigham Young University, Dr. Tom Robinson, a professor at BYU, began researching why people have skewed perspectives on dating. He joins us to discuss how to change our conversations with our kids to make dating fun again.

Foster Parenting Teens (0:50:36)

When it comes to foster care, older kids are often overlooked. In fact, more than 23,000 kids age out of the foster system each year, and many become homeless, drug dependent, and never go to college. Couples looking to become foster parents tend to take home babies, toddlers or younger kids... because let’s face it, parenting teenagers is rough. But teenagers need parents more than anyone to teach them how to become adults. Here to tell us more about foster parenting teenagers and how we can help is foster care consultant and parent Jennie Sheperd.

Closet Cleanse (1:06:57)

With spring coming, so many of us are going through our closets and trying to figure out what to keep and what to get rid of. Thinking about what we really wear and what we don’t is a frustrating process. So how can we make sure we don’t get rid of anything we’ll regret giving away? Lauren Messiah is a personal stylist who helps women discover their unique sense of style. She has some great ideas on what we need to do to perform the best closet cleanse possible.

Hair Loss (1:27:00)

A quick look at social media will tell you that thick, luscious locks is what everyone is looking for. Unfortunately, a full head of hair isn’t reality for a lot of people. Hair thinning is very common, especially as we get older, and while it can be discouraging, there are ways that you can overcome it and feel confident in yourself. So, we invited hair stylist, color expert, and instructor for L’oreal Professionnel, Michelle Lindsey, to come talk to us about the different types of hair loss and how to treat them. Michelle is also a friend of the show.
