In a world filled with distractions, it's easy to feel like our attention is being pulled in many different directions. Have you ever found yourself engrossed in your phone, only to realize you've missed a meaningful moment with someone you love? Join us in this episode as we explore the challenges of distractions. Katie Westenberg and Mentor Mama share personal insights and practical tips to help us reclaim our focus and live more intentionally, keeping the focus where it matters most: God and His nearness.

• The Ever-Present Distractions: Ever feel like distractions are invading our pockets and wrists, robbing us of precious moments? We get it. We've all been there. Distractions have always existed, but the accessibility and proximity have changed, challenging our ability to combat them effectively.
• The Distraction Within Us: Our minds are wired to be easily distracted, but the real issue arises when distractions settle into our hearts. Distractions not only affect surface-level focus but can permeate our hearts, making us lose sight of our true purpose.
• Recognizing the Tipping Point: As a mom of teenagers, Katie shares her tipping point when she realized distractions weren't just a personal struggle but something she needed to navigate for her children.
• Distinguishing Interruptions from Distractions: Jesus saw people as the real ministry, not interruptions. Katie explores the difference between being annoyed by distractions and embracing interruptions as opportunities for connection. 

If you've ever struggled to maintain focus in your daily life, this episode is for you. Join us on this journey of being un-distractible. Don't miss out—hit play now and let's navigate distractions together!
