Doug & Thea Unplugged

In this episode, they share their journey of building two successful companies, emphasizing the importance of structure, habits, and organization—even when life gets chaotic. Thea introduces her "Spark Habits" from her book, "Kick Fear in the Face," designed to help families thrive during busy seasons. Discover why hydration, making your bed, daily movement, and setting a solid sleep routine are game-changers. Plus, learn how small steps in prayer, gratitude, and getting out in nature can lead to big transformations in your life.

From how they parent and talk with each other in front of them and how they play a role in their everyday life, Doug and Thea have made parenting and creating space in their home very intentional.
