Summary

What if healing, purpose, and joy could all begin with a walk—and a willingness to connect? In this powerful episode, Mark and Senya Ostach open up about their journey toward living a life anchored in intentional connection, even in the midst of grief, distraction, and digital overload. From their blind date beginnings to creating a family culture rooted in presence over pixels, they share how storytelling, faith, and slowing down became transformational tools in their home. Together, they’ve authored Courage to Connect and The Walk Forward Journal, a daily guide that fuses movement, reflection, and prayer to help others process emotion, soften the heart, and hear the gentle whisper of God. Mark and Senya discuss the impact of misprocessed trauma, the freedom of family screen boundaries, and the beauty of holding space for one another’s stories. You’ll laugh, you might cry, and you’ll walk away inspired to trade digital noise for real-life connection. Whether you’re a journal skeptic or a seeker of deeper rhythms, this episode offers both practical hope and spiritual insight. 📕 Get Courage to Connect: markostach.com 📝 Explore The Walk Forward Journal: walkforwardjournal.com Learn more about your ad choices.
