In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sat down with Ana Murby—a mother of five, writer, and podcast host—who bravely shared her journey from the depths of addiction to a life guided by intentional wisdom. Ana’s favorite quote, “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (Proverbs 4:23), served as the anchor point for a heartfelt conversation about boundaries, responsibility, and the impact our choices have on ourselves and those around us. Ana opened up about her struggles with pornography addiction and the transformative role this verse played in her sobriety and personal growth. Together, we dug into why setting boundaries isn’t just about self-protection—it’s about fostering a healthier environment for everyone you love. Whether you’re facing your own challenges or looking for a fresh perspective on personal growth, Ana’s insights remind us that every day is a new opportunity to start again, guard our hearts, and live with purpose.Connect With Ana MurbyWebsite:https://www.honestchristianconversations.com/https://www.youtube.com/@honestchristianconversationsIf Relatable Wisdom speaks to you—if a quote shared makes you pause, smile, or see things differently—consider subscribing so you never miss an episode.
