In this Soul Sparks episode, host Saima talks with Steve Ward, founder of Life Improvement Steps, about how living intentionally can transform your life no matter where you are. Steve shares how decades in the business world, addiction struggles, and family challenges led him to develop a practical life philosophy centered on “taking the next right step.” Drawing on lessons from recovery, neuroscience, and spiritual wisdom, Steve explains how small, consistent steps can help us break free from destructive cycles, find purpose, and rebuild with clarity. This episode is a grounded, heartfelt reminder that anyone can start again with focus and courage.
