How to Find Time for Authentic Self-Care
April 18, 2024 16:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBSelf-care has gotten a bad rap, and I think that’s because we’ve blurred the lines of self-care and over-indulgence. We can’t live in either extreme – putting yourself so last that you’re not even on your list nor putting yourself 1st all the time to please all your whims and desires so that all you think about is yourself. So, let’s look at self-care from a reasonable, moderate perspective. Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood? Sign up for a fre...

Truths
January 18, 2024 16:00 - 13 minutes - 8.99 MBI was thinking about what episode 200 could look like and I decided to keep it simple. My marriage probably isn’t much different than most of yours.

My children aren’t special unicorns. They weren’t always perfectly behaved and unfortunately, neither was I in the way I interacted with them. But here are som...

Our Inner Judge
December 07, 2023 17:00 - 14 minutes - 9.78 MBJudging others gives us a sense of control – even if that control is only in our thoughts.

August 24, 2023 11:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MBThis isn’t just about keeping your house clean; it’s about forming the human spirit in virtue.

What is God Asking of You?
August 17, 2023 11:00 - 12 minutes - 8.48 MBWhy do we feel unfulfilled? Maybe it’s because we’re not all in - where we are isn’t where God wants us.

We feel unfulfilled because we haven’t embraced God’s plan for us. We’ve tried to create our own plan. We don’t need to have a plan – God has the plan for you. Looking for a Catholic life coach ...
