The Lisa Show

Lisa kicks off her book club on More Than a Body by Lindsay & Lexie Kite. She and Kacy Faulconer break down their first impressions of the book and personal relationships to the topic (and one of the authors), and begin their discussion on Chapter 1, "Rising with Body Image Resilience".

At the beginning of a new year and a new series on Body Image, Lisa and Kacy discuss the tragic legacy of Helen of Troy — the "most beautiful woman on earth" of myth and legend — and how body comparison and beauty expectations affect the way we see ourselves in the age of social media. Lisa reflects on the changes in her own body image over time, and the common ground in many stories of body image...

In this special edition of The Lisa Show, Lisa is joined by actor, comedian, and parent Whitney Call to answer more listener-submitted questions. How do you parent children that act like they hate you? What's a reasonable bedtime for teenagers? What can friends with no kids do to support parents?

There's no time like the holidays for delicious, unique, and memorable food! And there's never a better time to ditch the guilt and reframe the way we think about the foods we love. Lisa sits down with lifestyle guru and long-time friend of the show, Carrie Ann Rhodes, for some secrets on finding healthy and happy approaches to food for ourselves and our families.

In this special edition of The Lisa Show, Lisa is joined by actor, comedian, and parent Whitney Call to answer listener-submitted questions.

Lisa sits down to talk with Lisa Show producers Becca Hurley and McKay Menden about what they've learned throughout the production of the Self-Care series. They talk about what they've changed, what's working, what isn't, and what they still need to improve.

As parents, sometimes it feels like the only way to take care of ourselves is to take unnecessary time away from our kids. But if we give our kids everything that they need, we're not doing enough to take care of ourselves. So how can we find this impossible balance? In the conclusion of The Lisa Show's series on Self-Care, Lisa talks with therapist Jaime Ballard, the Council of Moms (Jeanette Ben...

Lisa talks with the Council of Moms--Ganel-Lyn Condie, Rebecca Bingham, and Ashley Reeve--about how they approach talking to their kids about their mental health, even when their own mental health is struggling.

When a child, a spouse, or a friend is struggling with their mental health, it can be difficult to focus on anything else, least of all yourself. Whether due to depression, anxiety, or any other disorder, it hurts to see someone you love suffer, and it can also present new challenges in your relationships. Lisa reflects on a time her efforts backfired while trying to support a child in crisis. Reb...

Lisa talks with Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and longtime friend of The Lisa Show Dr. John Sovec about when we should be selfish about protecting our mental health, and how that selfishness can help us take care of people around us in the long run.

Do you ever feel like your mental health is struggling, but taking time to find a therapist or pay for medication will only make you more stressed? This cycle of not getting the help we need can be isolating, overwhelming, and can take us to some very intense emotional places. Lisa talks with her producer McKay and with the Council of Moms (Ganel-Lyn Condie, Rebecca Bingham, and Ashley Reeves) abo...

Ken and Katie Craig join Lisa for an upbeat conversation reminiscing over times when self-care went wrong, and some of their best pivots and lessons learned along the way.

After a long day cleaning up after kids and dealing with teenagers, going on social media for a break can backfire, forcing you to see that your 4-year-old niece just mastered calculus and your unbelievably photogenic acquaintance from high school is on yet another Disney cruise. Social media is just one place where comparison can often turn toxic and hurtful, replacing confidence and satisfaction...

In this extended conversation with financial advisor Kyle Bigler, Lisa and Kyle talk about how you can approach spending your money in a way that will bring more stability and fulfillment to your life.

Self-care and spending your money are not the same (despite all those targeted ads saying otherwise!) but your approach to finances could say more than you think about your attitude toward self-care. Lisa gathers friends (Heather Bigley & Lindsay Clark) and a financial guru (Kyle Bigler) to explore the complicated relationship between our inner selves and our money (or lack thereof), how to relate...

In this edition of Self-Care Over Lunch, Lisa talks with her friend, film producer, actor, and Studio C showrunner Jake Van Wagoner about what it's like being an introvert when most people thing you're an extrovert.

What's your perfect Friday night? A fulfilling social life can look dramatically different from one person to the next, even in the same family. Whether you dream of crowded dinner parties or blissful solitude with a book, knowing your defaults can help you manage social stamina, and deepen relationships that matter. Lisa assembles a wide collection of friends and family, introverts and extroverts...

In this full-length conversation, Lisa talks with psychologist, sexual educator, and professional counselor Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife about which issues in a relationship are truly "red flags," and which ones are signs that a relationship has more room to grow and mature.

In a perfect world, the people we share our lives with would automatically know and provide exactly what we need. But for most of us, even identifying our own needs can be a challenge. This episode explores the dynamics of self-care within our most important relationships, including finding a balanced give-and-take, enrolling a partner in healthy boundaries, and communicating authentically. Lisa c...

In this extended conversation, Lisa talks with Lyfe Sculpt founder Treigh Christensen about what it really takes to create a life that is balanced and fulfilling, without disregarding the realities of what life requires from us.

Life has a way of getting busier, but taking care of yourself is important as ever, and even more so when juggling a hectic schedule. The Council of Moms (Vanessa Quigley and Carrie Ann Rhodes) looks at a spectrum of experiences, from roadside french fries to high rise corporate deals. Ken and Katie Craig revisit a memory of an impromptu lifestyle offer that sounded a little too good to be true, a...

In this week's episode of "The Lisa Show: Over Lunch" Lisa has an in-depth conversation with award-winning health coach Katie Bressack about how we can change good nutrition from something that we dread dealing with into a fulfilling piece of a well-lived life.

There are so many things that we feel pressured to do by the people around us. We need to eat better, to exercise more, to get our hair done, to dress well, the list goes on and on. And while these things aren't inherently negative, if we only do them because of the societal guilt we feel, they aren't doing us the good that we could be. In this episode, Lisa dives into how we can take back the thi...
