In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Steve Ward, founder of STEPS Ministries, to explore what it truly means to live intentionally. Drawing from his personal journey through addiction and recovery, Steve shares practical insights on building a life centered on peace, purpose, and joy. They discuss the power of small, consistent steps, the importance of addressing the whole person—emotionally, spiritually, and physically—and how intentional living can prevent burnout, addiction, and disconnection. This conversation invites listeners to pause, reflect, and realign with what matters most.

About the Guest:

Steve Ward is the founder and Executive Director of STEPS Ministries, a nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals and families live intentionally, grow closer to God, and prevent addiction. Drawing on his own experience with addiction within his family, Steve offers actionable tools through his books, podcast, coaching, and life resources. His work integrates recovery principles, faith, neuroscience, and personal development into simple, daily steps toward healing and wholeness.

Key Takeaways:
  • Intentional living is about slowing down, choosing well, and focusing on what truly matters.

  • Addiction can extend beyond substances to work, people-pleasing, or compulsive behaviors.

  • Holistic well-being—physical, emotional, spiritual—is critical for lasting change.

  • The “PACES” framework (Prepare, Aware, Connect, Educate, Steps) supports proactive living.

  • Change doesn’t require an overhaul; it happens one small, intentional step at a time.
