There are distinct physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits that come from serving others. And while we don't usually weigh the perks of being selfless, it's important to know that helping others is just as good for you as it can be for those you serve. In this episode of The Lisa Show, Dr. Steven Trzeciak presents a surprising biological benefit for serving others. Dale Hull of Neuroworx and Ken Larson talk about how serving others helped them to see their pasts in a new way. And BYU philosophy professor, Ryan Davis, explains why helping others doesn't have to be hard or uncomfortable to count.

You made the donation, but where is it really going? Is it feeding starving children or furnishing a CEO's vacation home? Lisa talks with Aaron Miller and Jill Piacitelli from the Ballard Center and Chris Yadon from Saprea about what to look for in a charity, and how to know if that charity really makes a difference. #thelisashow #lisavalentineclark #vettingcharities #ballardcenter #saprea #charitablegiving #charitabledonations

In trying to fix the cholera and dysentery epidemics in Bangladesh in the 1970s, the country dug 10 million wells—only to discover that most of those wells were producing arsenic-laced water. Social problems can be complex, and we don’t want to make them worse. Jill Piacitelli from the Ballard Center tells us that “killing our darlings” is an important step to helping. Brent Crane from the Food and Care Coalition shares a story about the power of collaboration. And Tawna Fowler and Brett Caywood from Rising Star Outreach show us how to put our mission above our egos to do what actually helps.
How do you make a difference in the world when you're low on time and money? Lisa and The Council of Moms (Emilie Campbell, Brandalee Bluth Streeter, and Gina James) discuss how to lift where you stand, what kind of language to use with your kids when explain difficult situations in the world, and what it looks like to have actionable compassion.
75 years ago, parents faced a deadly threat to their children which, today, most people never have to think about. Lisa and Aaron Miller dive behind the scenes of the March of Dimes, an effort fueled by ordinary people who collectively changed the world and saved millions of lives. Bethany Brady Spalding shares the movement in her community that stemmed from a conversation with her kindergartener about candy. Lisa identifies six different types of helpers (because who doesn't love a personality test) and ordinary people making an extraordinary impact in the world around them.
1Whether our kids are two or twenty-two, conflict is a normal part of family life. How do we make sure our relationships of love grow through these inevitable clashes, especially for kids? Lisa, Marlie, Kylie, and Brandalee explore the way conflict shows up in different stages of life, and in various scenarios-- in blended families, between spouses when kids are listening in, and with kids in the middle of those developmentally appropriate (but still awkward) transitions into higher autonomy and self-discovery.
Have you ever avoided eye contact with someone holding a cardboard sign? Or felt a twinge as you skipped a YouTube ad asking for charitable donations? Help is needed everywhere, and good people want to help. But those good intentions can quickly turn to paralysis, overwhelm, and a lingering sense of shame for not "doing more." Meanwhile, experts in helping (that's a real thing!) know that making the world a better place isn't compatible with shame. Lisa tours The Other Side Academy to learn how a few individuals regularly beat the odds and make an extraordinary impact in their community. Aaron Miller from the Ballard Center for Social Impact shares how falling in love with a problem holds the key to transforming that old, familiar, paralyzing guilt into hope, and how anyone can empower themselves to make a difference in the world by making a switch: from doomscrolling to doing good better.
Do you ever see your teenager making bad choices, and you have to grit your teeth to keep from saying something? We don’t want to be helicopter moms, but we also don’t want our kids to ruin their lives. As parents, it can be a tricky balance to let our kids fail and learn from their mistakes while keeping them out of serious trouble. Lisa joins Lindsay Clark, Amy Sunderland, and Cassie Barger for a Council of Moms about when to let our children mess up and when to intervene.
Lisa sits down with Scott Martin, who shares his journey redefining himself and finding purpose after a dramatic illness reduced his mobility and upended his life. They discuss the courage to start over, what resilience looks like, and how to learn from various kinds of new beginnings in life.

This is the first thing I listened to and you did a great interview. Now that you are talking about Veterans Day, the background music is too loud. My ear wants the noise to stop! (I am listening with one ear piece so I can hear my children, etc as needed.)
Thank you for the hard conversation discussion
