Avoiding Downward Spirals (0:00:00) Emotional downward spirals are real and happen more often than we probably think. When life gets so busy we can’t keep up or when one bad thing happens after the next, it’s easy to let ourselves fall into a spiral of negative thoughts and emotions. So how can we face the onslaught of hard circumstances that will undoubtedly happen in our lives without wanting to give up on everything? To answer this question we have Dr. Lara Fielding joining us on the show today. Dr. Fielding is a Clinical Psychologist specializing in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. She’s here to discuss how we can fight negativity and keep our minds healthy. The Remarriage Manual (0:20:29) Sadly, the divorce rate is extremely high in the U.S. Currently it’s at 50 percent. However, second marriages have an even higher divorce rate at 60 percent. Whether you’re on your second, third, or fourth marriage, we want to help you have a loving and successful relationship with your companion for life. So how can we beat these statistics and have long-lasting marriages? Terry Gaspard, a licensed family and marriage therapist, recently gave some solutions in her book “The Remarriage Manual”. Terry Gaspard is here today to talk about ways to cope with problems arising from remarriage. Comedy IQ (0:32:10) Wayne Brady...host of the CBS game show “Let’s Make a Deal” and Winner of “Masked Singer”...is hosting the new show “Comedy IQ” on BYU TV. The show features a group of11 teens hoping to prove they are comedy’s next star. 6 finalists go on to compete in a “comedy boot camp” while being mentored by Wayne himself. These hopeful teens compete in a variety of challenges that involve improv, writing, directing, and more. But the show is about more than just turning talent into fame. We’re lucky enough to have Wayne with us today to give us a behind the scenes look at the show. At-Home Aches (0:50:39) There are some perks to working from the comforts of home. You can work in bed, on your porch, or even on your couch—the comfy possibilities are endless. But while these make-shift workstations might seem more comfortable then your desk, they also might be the reason behind those aches and pains in your back and neck. Here to help us understand how to set up our home workstation properly is Jon Cinkay. He’s a physical Therapist and Ergonomic Specialists. BoardGameGeek (1:07:36) With limited options for entertainment these days, we’ve seen traditional board games make a comeback. They’re a great way to get the whole family involved in something fun. Plus, they help pass the time. We’re all familiar with games like Clue, Battleship, and Uno. But what are some other games we can play? To help us out we invited Eric Martin on the show today. He’s part of the BoardGameGeek channel on YouTube. Feng Shui (1:25:56) After spending so much time at home, you might be feeling the bug to reorganize different areas around the house. But, sometimes it’s difficult to decide how you want it to look and feel. Well, have you ever heard of the art of feng shui? Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice used to create harmony in our different living spaces. And today, we have feng shui expert, architect and author, Anjie Cho, to tell us how we can use feng shui to better our homes and our lives.
