Glacier National Park (0:00:00) In the Rocky Mountains of Montana lies a national park incomparable in beauty and adventure. Glacier National Park gets its name from peaks literally carved by glaciers. The park goes all the way to the Canadian border and is home to miles of hiking trails. To tell us more about this beautiful National Park and why you should consider making a trip there is Gina Kerzman, one of the park’s employees.  Self-Control (0:16:44) On The Lisa Show we talk a lot about having a good lifestyle. We’ve had many conversations about spending less time on our phones and planning healthy meals among other things we can do to improve our well-being.  While all of these things will help us, the only way we’ll see changes in our life is if we have self-control.  To help us figure out how to have more self-discipline in all areas of our life, we invited Dr. Angela Duckworth onto theshow. She’s a professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and a co-founder of Character Lab, a website dedicated to using science to build character.  Finances in Marriage (0:37:35) One of the top stressors that contributes to divorce today is finances. Dealing with debt and other financial difficulties puts a strain on marriages and leads to a lot of blaming rather than problem-solving. With this looming fact in the air, we wanted get some expert advice on what couples can do better when handling money so they can eliminate stress and keep their marriages together. Our next guest, Rachel Cruze, is a #1 New York Times best-selling author and host of The Rachel Cruze Show where she helps people learn the proper ways to handle money and stay out of debt. She joins us today to talk about how we can improve our finances for the sake of our marriages.  Cybersecurity (0:52:50) With our kids enrolling in Zoom University, online safety has become more important than ever. Cybersecurity is on all of our minds. So, what can we do to ensure our own internet safety? Here to give us some advice is tech consultant Anna Murray.  Mini Book Club (1:10:16) Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio’s Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about books that are banned from schools and the ones you should consider reading. Authentic Tacos (1:21:22) When you hear the word “magic,” what comes to mind? Fairy dust, unicorns, diet coke? For me, I think of tacos. Now I’m not talking about your fast food, 99 cent tacos; rather, your spicy, authentic tacos that you wash down with a crisp coca-cola. Today we have Raul Ortega, the owner of Mariscos Jalisco, L.A.’s repeatedly top-rated taco shop, here to tell us what makes a taco authentic and how to find the best taco shop wherever you live.  Seeking Closure (1:30:44) We often refer to different periods in our lives as chapters. Eras that open and close, replete with different characters—all with their own individual story arcs. But as we all know, all good (and bad) things must come to an end. Sometimes, however, things don’t end the way we want them to. We’re left unsatisfied with the way the event transpired and with how it ended. So, we seek closure. What makes us seek closure? Is it just part of our DNA? Dr. Iskra Fileva, assistant professor of philosophy at the University Colorado, Boulder, is here to discuss closure, why we as humans crave it, and how to obtain it.
