Episode 61: What I Added for Lent Changed My House in 48 Hours

This week my son asked me something that stopped me cold: “Mom… is this just our time?” And I realized how rare that actually is. Not because I am not around. Not because I do not love my kids. But because I am almost always partially there. For Lent this year, instead of giving something up, I added something in: protected, undistracted time with each of my kids and my husband. No phones. No multitasking. No half-listening. What happened in just a few days completely shifted the atmosphere in our home. In this episode, I share: • The moment that made me realize I was physically present but mentally absent • What changed when I put my phone away for two hours • Why this small decision improved not just my relationships, but my work focus too If you feel stretched thin, constantly multitasking, and wondering why everyone still wants “more” from you… this episode is going to hit home. Sometimes the shift is not about doing less. It is about being more.
