May 7, 2026: New rules of the road for young Colorado drivers; Moms dance their way to better mental health
About this episode
The episode discusses new driving laws for Colorado teens, mental health initiatives for mothers, challenges in the real estate market, graduation insights, and a new wheelchair rugby team in Denver.
There are new rules of the road for Colorado teens as a new state law requires more training before young drivers can get a permit. There are also new rules for background checks for instructors. Then, hundreds of Colorado moms are dancing their way to better mental and emotional health. We talk with the founders of the Mom Dance Party, back with their 4th annual Mother's Day event on Friday, May 15. Also, it's peak real estate season in Colorado but it's getting harder for home sellers to find buyers. Meanwhile, local colleges and universities are sending graduates out into the world. We're featuring the words of wisdom they hear as they depart: today, a returning graduate at Regis. And, a new wheelchair rugby force to be reckoned with calls Denver home.
