Episode 29: Addicted to Distraction: Reconnecting in a World That Pulls Us Apart

The FOCUS Podcast with Taralee

About

In this heartfelt conversation with my longtime friend Liz Allen, we dive into one of the biggest connection killers in marriage and family life—distraction. From the quiet moments that drift apart to the scrolling that steals our presence, we explore how busyness, avoidance, and emotional overload slowly erode closeness—and how to rebuild it one mindful choice at a time.

You'll hear:
💛 The difference between healthy decompression and emotional avoidance
💛 How to recognize when you're buffering instead of healing
💛 Why small bids for connection (like saying "I love you" or greeting your spouse at the door) matter more than big gestures
💛 The power of intentional date nights, daily check-ins, and presence

This episode is full of laughter, honesty, and real-life insight from two women who've lived through decades of marriage, parenting, grief, and growth.
