You’re Not Alone: Real Moms on Parenting ADHD

Talking about life's hardest moments usually comes after we’ve made sense of them. But what about the chapters we’re still in? Lisa chats with writer and creator Tiffany Jenkins, known for her humor, honesty, and vulnerable storytelling, to explore what it looks like to live with anxiety in real time. Together they talk about fear, resilience, unexpected hope, and the quiet victories that don’t always make it into the “after” version of our stories. It’s a conversation about holding pain and possibility at the same time, finding meaning even when the ending isn’t clear yet, and believing that nothing is wasted.

Letting our kids chart their own course is one of the hardest parts of being a parent. Lisa sits down with psychologist Dr. David Morgan to talk about how we love, support, and guide our children--especially as they grow into adulthood--without trying to steer their every step. Together they explore the shift from control to connection, the questions that help us show up with intention, and the faith it takes to trust our kids with their own journey. It’s a gentle reminder that our role isn’t to drive the bus, but to send them off with encouragement, confidence, and unconditional love.

Living longer is one thing, but living better is another. Lisa talks with Dr. Joseph Bergsten about what it really takes to create a life that’s not just long, but full. Drawing on years of research and medical experience, Dr. Bergsten shares six simple but powerful habits that can add both years and joy to our lives. Together, he and Lisa explore how small, consistent choices can strengthen our bodies, our minds, and our relationships. It’s a refreshing look at health that replaces pressure with purpose and quick fixes with meaningful living.

Self-doubt isn’t a question of if, it’s a question of when. In this week’s episode, Lisa talks with author and educator Gaylamarie Rosenberg about what to do when those moments of uncertainty arise. Together they explore how the Savior meets us in our doubts, where we put our focus, and how faith can turn feelings of inadequacy into opportunities for growth. With warmth and insight, Gaylamarie reminds us that self-doubt doesn’t disqualify us; it can actually draw us closer to divine help and deeper peace.

Parenting and coaching both demand the same tricky balance—knowing when to step in and when to step back. BYU head football coach Kalani Sitake joins Lisa to talk about leadership, trust, and vulnerability. How do you connect with those you guide while still holding boundaries? How do you teach resilience without rescuing too soon? With stories from the field and from home, Kalani shares how embracing failure and grace can help kids—and all of us—grow stronger through struggle.
