Summary

Wendy Speake joins Ginny Yurich for a rich, honest conversation about the quiet ways modern distractions shape our homes, our attention, and our souls. Drawing from The 40-Day Social Media Fast, The 40-Day Sugar Fast, and Triggers, Wendy shares why a wanting life never leads to a satisfied life, how putting down our phones helps us lift our eyes to God and the people right in front of us, and why small acts of self-control can change the whole atmosphere of a family. This episode is thoughtful, practical, and deeply encouraging for any parent who wants more peace, more presence, and a more grounded way to live.
