Gov. Spencer Cox's Chief of Staff, and what it was like growing up in a political family.

We also dive into being vulnerable, what people often get wrong about the working mom, The Queen's Gambit, and our favorite concerts we've ever been to.

The First Lady is then joined by Jeanette Bennett (Founder Utah Valley Magazine) to talk about how they first met, Jeanette's passion for journalism, and the moment Jeanette was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
