Emotional heart-to-hearts with a good girlfriend can be exactly what the doctor ordered, but so can some light chitchat. Those conversations that are just talky, fun, and interesting, where the topics range from really anything and everything. That’s the inspiration behind our newest series, The Studio 5 Hot Seat. We’re asking women you admire to share their take on the kind of topics that are buzzy, current, and trendy.

The first woman to take the hot seat is definitely “in the know.” She’s a voice for good in our community, a mom of six, and she’s got some great girlfriend vibes: Kristin Andrus.

Topics we discussed:

• How to navigate the “Medium Friend”
• The surprising results to a poll on Kristin’s Instagram
• Does our culture not allow people to TRY?

The worldwide gathering of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as General Conference, is October 5-6. If you intend to watch with your family, there are things you can do to make the experience more meaningful.

Friend of the show Maria Eckersley shared ways you can capture your kid’s attention during the sessions. She also shared things you can do to help your family engage in higher learning all year round. Whether that’s teaching a religious principle, morals, or manners, Maria’s ideas are relatable and impactful for both the little and big kids.

To see how to pull of these activities in your home, visit Maria’s YouTube page.
