James Webb Telescope (0:00:00)
 
Over the past several decades, our society has been overwhelmingly interested in space. Movies like Interstellar, Gravity, and the new Star Wars trilogy all make us even more excited about what’s going on outside of our little planet. But while Hollywood has been making movies, our friends at NASA have been working on a new space mission to explore our galaxy and how it began. The James Webb Space Telescope mission will launch a new observer telescope into space to take the place of the famous Hubble telescope. NASA Scientist Dr. Knicole Colon joins us on the show to talk with us about the James Webb Space Telescope mission and the future of space travel.
 
Why am I Still Single? (0:15:00)
 
You’re signed up for multiple online dating websites. You go on at least two dates a week, but the age old question is why aren’t the dates sticking? After a while, you can’t help but wonder, ‘Is there something wrong with me? Am I too picky?’ Even if you’re attractive, accomplished, kind or well-liked, you still may find yourself single. Well, the good and the bad news is, it’s not who you are, it’s how you’re dating. Alisa Goodwin Snell, a relationship coach and author of ‘It’s Not You, It’s Your Technique,” joins us to reveal the secret to the age old question-why are you still single despite how amazing you are?

Body Positive Weight Loss (0:50:33)
 
Did you make a New Year’s resolution to lose weight? If you did, you aren’t alone. Many people aren’t happy with the way they look and losing weight is often seen as the best solution. But recently we’ve seen a push back to this approach as many are trying to get rid of unhealthy beauty standards. We think it’s important to love ourselves, including our bodies, but how can we toe the line between celebrating ourselves the way we are while still recognizing when lifestyle changes need to happen? Here to discuss how we can talk about weight loss in a body positive light is dietitian and author Dr. Claudia Thompson. 
 
Cold Weather Running (1:06:25) 
 
It’s hard enough trying to motivate ourselves to run, let alone run outside in the freezing cold weather. Our lungs burn, our ears ache, and our feet feel like frozen little ice blocks. But for those of us trying to be more dedicated to this heart-healthy sport, there are some things we can do to help make our winter runs a little less dreadful. Paul Ronto is an outdoorsman and writer for runrepeat.com. He joins us to share his tips on how to prepare and motivate ourselves to get outside and run this winter. 
 
Entertaining this Winter (1:24:14)
 
I think it’s safe to say that we’ve officially entered the dreary part of winter, and I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time finding things to look forward to this time of year. But here on The Lisa Show, we like to focus on the positive parts of life, as well as come up with unique solutions to our problems. Now one of my favorite remedies to the hardships of life is throwing a party. Be it big or small, a fun party can turn even the darkest January day into a cherished memory. So what is the best way to go about throwing a party in the cold? Here to talk with us is Allison Bean from The Spruce to give us ideas of how to entertain in the winter.
