Catechism of the Catholic Church 65
”In giving us his Son, his only Word (for he possesses no other), he spoke everything to us at once in this sole Word — and he has no more to say... because what he spoke before to the prophets in parts, he has now spoken all at once by giving us the All Who is His Son. Any person questioning God or desiring some vision or revelation would be guilty not only of foolish behavior but also of offending him, by not fixing his eyes entirely upon Christ and by living with the desire for some other novelty.27 (”St. John of the Cross)

The Lorica Prayer – Saint Patrick’s Breast Plate Prayer
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth and His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In preachings of the apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.
I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
From snares of the devil,
From temptations of vices,
From every one who desires me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a multitude.
I summon today all these powers between me and evil,
Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that reward may come to me in abundance.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation

Have you memorized all of the 12 Days of Christmas song? Did you know that these themes in the song had a deeper Catholic meaning? Prepare to get the song stuck in your head as you dive deep into some catechetical truths!
Timmerie unveils the song's potential role as a secret catechism tool during times of Catholic persecution in England (1558-1829). This joyous melody might have served as a covert means for Catholic children to learn and remember their faith.
Here's a breakdown of the hidden Catholic meanings in each verse:
- Partridge in a Pear Tree: Jesus Christ, the self-sacrificing savior.
- Two Turtle Doves: The Old and New Testaments, symbolizing the continuity and revelation of God’s word.
- Three French Hens: The theological virtues - Faith, Hope, and Charity.
- Four Calling Birds: The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
- Five Golden Rings: The Torah (first five books of the Bible.)
- Six Geese A-Laying: The six days of creation.
- Seven Swans A-Swimming: The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.
- Eight Maids A-Milking: The Beatitudes
- Nine Ladies Dancing: The fruits of the Holy Spirit, condensed for memorability.
- Ten Lords A-Leaping: The Ten Commandments
- Eleven Pipers Piping: The eleven faithful Apostles (excluding Judas who betrayed the Lord.
- Twelve Drummers Drumming: The twelve articles of faith in the Apostles' Creed.
Timmerie challenges you to not just enjoy the melody, but to delve into the rich tapestry of faith these verses represent. Try to work on memorizing all of these important aspects of our faith! It's an invitation to rediscover the depth and joy of the Catholic Church, especially in times of trial. 🌟🎵🙏

Catechism of the Catholic Church 1023-1029:
1023 Those who die in God's grace and friendship and are perfectly purified live for ever with Christ. They are like God for ever, for they "see him as he is," face to face:598
By virtue of our apostolic authority, we define the following: According to the general disposition of God, the souls of all the saints ... and other faithful who died after receiving Christ's holy Baptism (provided they were not in need of purification when they died, ... or, if they then did need or will need some purification, when they have been purified after death, ...) already before they take up their bodies again and before the general judgment — and this since the Ascension of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into heaven — have been, are and will be in heaven, in the heavenly Kingdom and celestial paradise with Christ, joined to the company of the holy angels. Since the Passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, these souls have seen and do see the divine essence with an intuitive vision, and even face to face, without the mediation of any creature.599
1024 This perfect life with the Most Holy Trinity — this communion of life and love with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed — is called "heaven." Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness.
1025 To live in heaven is "to be with Christ." The elect live "in Christ,"600 but they retain, or rather find, their true identity, their own name.601
For life is to be with Christ; where Christ is, there is life, there is the kingdom.602
1026 By his death and Resurrection, Jesus Christ has "opened" heaven to us. The life of the blessed consists in the full and perfect possession of the fruits of the redemption accomplished by Christ. He makes partners in his heavenly glorification those who have believed in him and remained faithful to his will. Heaven is the blessed community of all who are perfectly incorporated into Christ.
1027 This mystery of blessed communion with God and all who are in Christ is beyond all understanding and description. Scripture speaks of it in images: life, light, peace, wedding feast, wine of the kingdom, the Father's house, the heavenly Jerusalem, paradise: "no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him."603
1028 Because of his transcendence, God cannot be seen as he is, unless he himself opens up his mystery to man's immediate contemplation and gives him the capacity for it. The Church calls this contemplation of God in his heavenly glory "the beatific vision":
How great will your glory and happiness be, to be allowed to see God, to be honored with sharing the joy of salvation and eternal light with Christ your Lord and God, ... to delight in the joy of immortality in the Kingdom of heaven with the righteous and God's friends.604
1029 In the glory of heaven the blessed continue joyfully to fulfill God's will in relation to other men and to all creation. Already they reign with Christ; with him "they shall reign for ever and ever."605

Catechism of the Catholic Church on Divination & Magic section 1215-1217
God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.
All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers.
They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone
Catechism of the Catholic Church section 2332-2333
2332 Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul. It especially concerns affectivity, the capacity to love and to procreate, and in a more general way the aptitude for forming bonds of communion with others.
2333 Everyone, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual identity. Physical, moral, and spiritual difference and complementarity are oriented toward the goods of marriage and the flourishing of family life. The harmony of the couple and of society depends in part on the way in which the complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are lived out.
Do you carve a Jack O'Lantern with your kids around Halloween? It may be an enjoyable tradition for your family, but did you know there's a deeper legend to the Jack O'Lantern? It should give you a chilling reminder of the presence of evil and why you need to teach your kids to never dabble in it.
With Halloween approaching, Timmerie emphasizes the Catholic origins of the holiday, noting that it's historically known as All Hallows' Eve. She addresses misconceptions about Halloween, highlighting the need to understand and embrace its Catholic roots while being cautious of certain practices associated with the holiday.
Timmerie shares her curiosity about the Jack O'Lantern after hearing someone express reservations about letting their child carve one. This prompted her to research its history, leading her to discover its origins in an Irish myth about a man named Stingy Jack. The story tells of Jack tricking the devil on multiple occasions, resulting in him being denied entry to both heaven and hell upon his death. Left to wander the earth, Jack carries a glowing coal inside a carved turnip, which evolved into the modern-day Jack O'Lantern.
This legend, Timmerie believes, offers a valuable lesson about the dangers of meddling with the devil. She mentions the importance of recognizing and teaching the realities of heaven, hell, and purgatory, especially to your kids. The story serves as a reminder to always choose God's path and resist the temptations of evil. As Halloween has roots in the celebration of All Saints Day, Timmerie encourages you to embrace its true meaning by commemorating the lives of the saints and Christ's triumph over evil.
Timmerie invites you to reflect on how you can incorporate more Catholic elements into your Halloween celebrations, especially in light of the rich history and teachings that the holiday holds for the faithful.

On this episode of Trending with Timmerie, HGTV designer Paige Rienzo opens up about her powerful journey of healing from addiction, finding faith, and breaking free from New Age spirituality. After years of battling destructive habits with food, alcohol, spending, and work, Paige found herself in multiple 12-step programs searching for peace and purpose.
But as she tells Timmerie, the road to recovery came with its own dangers. Many in the recovery community, she explains, are offered “a counterfeit spirituality” – a blend of New Age practices like yoga, crystals, and Eastern meditation that mimic faith but lack Christ. Paige shares how this subtle drift pulled her away from truth before she encountered the real healing power of Jesus and the Catholic Church.
She reflects on the emptiness of “spiritual but not religious” culture and how authentic healing only happens through surrender, prayer, and the sacraments. Her story is one of courage, conversion, and rediscovering her worth in God – a reminder that no amount of self-help or self-improvement can replace divine grace.

In this episode of Trending with Timmerie, Timmerie speaks with Dr. Susan Caldwell, a Catholic OB-GYN who specializes in NaPro Technology –a groundbreaking approach to women’s health that finds and treats the root causes of infertility instead of masking symptoms.
Dr. Caldwell shares the story of a woman told she could “never have children without IVF.” After beginning NaPro charting with the Creighton Model System, doctors discovered endometriosis that traditional fertility clinics had overlooked. Through specialized NaPro surgery and hormonal support, that same woman welcomed a healthy baby girl – no IVF required.
Dr. Caldwell explains how NaPro-trained surgeons differ from typical OB-GYNs: they don’t just burn away lesions; they remove the full disease, often working with urologists or bowel specialists to restore the body’s natural design. She and Timmerie stress that many women are misdiagnosed or given birth control instead of real answers – and that NaPro offers hope, healing, and authentic care that honors a woman’s fertility rather than shutting it down.
For women struggling with infertility, painful cycles, or endometriosis, this conversation offers a faith-based, medically sound alternative that respects both life and health.

In this unforgettable episode of Trending, Timmerie Geagea sits down with Sara Huff, once known as the most influential feminist in Brazil, to share her dramatic and faith-filled journey from radical feminism to freedom in Christ. Sara recounts how, as a young woman from a broken home, she was recruited into a Soviet-trained feminist network. This group targeted vulnerable women and taught them to reject God, family, and femininity itself. She describes being flown to Ukraine for an “activist training camp,” which turned out to be a program of psychological manipulation and anti-Christian indoctrination designed to weaponize pain and resentment against faith-based values.
You can listen to the entire hour here! (Some content may not be appropriate for all ages.)
Sara’s story reveals how the feminist movement’s leaders, many of them men hostile to religion and family life, exploited her suffering to advance their ideology. She explains how these movements use emotional wounds – especially among young women – to recruit and radicalize, replacing faith with anger and compassion with control. Yet even after years of living in bitterness and rebellion, Sara experienced God’s mercy through the care of a Catholic man and his family. That encounter led her to rediscover her identity as a beloved daughter of God and to embrace true feminine strength rooted in love, virtue, and motherhood.
Now living in the United States, Sara speaks openly about how feminism continues to prey on women’s insecurities while distorting their natural gifts. She challenges you to recognize how media and cultural movements subtly erode trust in faith, marriage, and motherhood. Timmerie and Sara discuss how Christ alone restores the dignity of womanhood and brings healing to the deepest wounds caused by ideology and sin.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s behind the messaging of modern feminism – or how God can redeem even the darkest parts of our story – this conversation will move and inspire you. Sara’s transformation is a living witness to the truth that no ideology can outshine the mercy of Christ.

At Charlie Kirk’s public memorial in Arizona, his widow Erika urged mourners to “mark your soul again and again” through daily choices for Christ, quoting Charlie’s journal about how each decision leaves a mark on the soul. Timmerie guides you through Erika’s faith-filled call to prayer, Scripture, Sunday worship, and perseverance under trial.
What happened at the memorial
The tribute took place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, September 21, 2025. You might have seen Erika’s address, which many described as the most moving moment of the day. Her message centered on grace, forgiveness, and a life set apart for God.
The heart of Erika’s message, as Timmerie highlights
Timmerie zeroes in on a small, potent line from Charlie’s journal that Erika read aloud: “Every time you make a decision, it puts a mark on your soul.” From that seed, Erika invited people to "choose Christ again and again. Pray again. Read Scripture again. Go to Sunday Mass again. Break from the shackles of sin. She reminded everyone that discipleship is hard, and that Jesus promised the cross, not comfort.
Timmerie then connects Erika’s call to the sacramental life. When good choices bring us close to Christ, we stay grafted to the Vine. When sin stains the soul, Confession restores us. This is classic Catholic spirituality: repeated acts that train love and form the will. And it is for every state of life, not only for public figures like Charlie Kirk.
“Mark your soul” in Catholic terms
-Prayer each day. Short prayers through the day keep the heart near God.
-Scripture each day. The Gospels shape our choices and our speech.
-Sunday worship every week. We keep the command – we receive the Lord.
-Confession as needed. Grace wipes the stain and strengthens resolve.
-Small sacrifices often. Love costs. The cross is our sign.
Erika’s counsel matches time-tested Catholic practice. It turns grief into intercession, it turns shock into witness, and it builds a community that helps new believers grow.
Here are some practical things you can do this week to practice holiness:
-Welcome the seeker next to you at Mass.
-Invite one person to pray with you this week.
-Make the sign of the cross before meals – in public – with quiet courage.

What did Charlie Kirk want his legacy to be about? His work? His mission? His family?
Timmerie shares a powerful reflection on what Charlie Kirk himself once said he wanted to be remembered for. In an interview not long before his tragic death, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was asked how he hoped people would remember him. His answer was simple yet striking: “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.”
Timmerie reminds you that courage isn’t the absence of fear – it’s acting in spite of fear. Whether it was launching Turning Point as a teenager, debating on hostile college campuses, or defending life and family in the public square, Charlie prayed before each appearance: “God, use me for your will.” His refusal to compromise on truth showed the kind of conviction that shaped both his public witness and private devotion. Timmerie mentions that Charlie's greatest joy wasn’t found in politics or fame, but in family. He often encouraged young women not to sacrifice marriage and motherhood for career ambition, and he delighted in sharing stories of his little daughter running to hug him after long days on the road. He and his wife had just celebrated her third birthday shortly before his death.
Charlie Kirk’s legacy reaches beyond politics. He saw his mission as fighting for the soul of America, shaping hearts and minds toward faith, truth, and life. His prayerful dependence on God and his devotion as a husband and father reveal a man striving to live with fortitude even in the face of fear.
Charlie died the way he lived – committed to truth, unafraid of opposition, and rooted in faith. His life poses a question for all of us: do we have the courage and fortitude to say, like Samuel, “Here I am, Lord, use me for your will”?

Timmerie shares a powerful story about traveling with her newborn son and being asked a surprising question: “Miss, is he expensive?” That moment opened the door to a bigger reflection – what does it really cost to raise children, and what actually matters most in parenting?
Cultural headlines claim it takes nearly $29,000 a year to raise a young child, but Timmerie challenges that myth. She explains that raising kids doesn’t require luxury strollers, designer nurseries, or endless activities. Instead, the true “cost” of children is not money – it’s the gift of time, presence, and love. Parenthood is about embracing the sacrifice and joy of raising children with faith, generosity, and simplicity.
She also brings up how raising kids is a visible witness to others. Whether your children are peacefully sleeping in a carrier or throwing a tantrum in the grocery store, the way we live parenthood can make it look approachable – or impossible – to a world that is increasingly unfamiliar with family life. For Catholics, this is also a chance for quiet evangelization, showing that family life is not only doable but beautiful, even in its hardest moments.
Timmerie reminds you that what really matters in raising children is not the dollars in the bank but the quality of our presence, the discipline we lovingly provide, and the sacramental life we share with them. Marriage and parenthood, she says, is the boldest risk of our age – and the most rewarding.

On this episode of Trending with Timmerie, guest host Brooke Taylor brings on Fr. Dave Heney to talk all about forgiveness. You can listen to the entire hour on this topic here.
Fr. Dave jumps right in, saying that forgiveness isn’t just something “nice” we should do—it’s absolutely central to living a joyful life. We all get hurt, he says, and if we don’t learn how to handle that pain, it can end up running our lives. What most people want when they’re hurt is to “get even,” but as Fr. Dave explains, you can never actually even the score. That cycle of hurt just keeps spiraling until someone is crushed under it. It's not a good way to live!
He then unpacks Jesus’ famous words: “turn the other cheek” and “love your enemies”—verses you might struggle to understand. Fr. Dave explains that it’s not about ignoring the pain or pretending it didn’t happen. It’s about knowing your dignity comes from God, not from the person who insulted or hurt you. And when we’re anchored in that, we can let go of revenge.
What’s beautiful is how he separates forgiveness from reconciliation. Forgiveness is an instant decision — “I’m not going to hurt you back.” Reconciliation, though, is a process that takes time. It’s exactly what happens in confession: you stop the harm, admit what you did, promise to change, and try to make things right.
A listener, Hannah, calls in asking what to say to friends who were abused as kids and are now struggling with that trauma. Fr. Dave answers with so much tenderness—he says one powerful path to healing is helping others. When someone who was hurt steps into helping or ministry, they reclaim strength and purpose that abuse tried to steal. And, of course, he affirms how important counseling can be when wounds run deep.
Brooke also reminds us of all the saints who lived out this radical forgiveness—saints like Maria Goretti and St. Bakhita—showing us the way back to Christ.
Yes, forgiveness is hard—but it’s possible, and you are never walking through it alone.

Guest host Cale Clarke explains the dramatic encounter between Jesus and the “Legion” of demons. Plus: how you can stop procrastinating today (or, maybe, tomorrow). And: nostalgia tech — who wants their BlackBerry back?
Brooke Taylor sits in for Timmere on Trending, and she is joined by Brother Richard Hendrick, a Capuchin Franciscan and retreat master here to help draw you closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The Sacred Heart
So, what’s the big deal about the Sacred Heart? According to Brother Richard:
“The Sacred Heart is the icon of the entire Gospel.”
That’s... a big deal. He explains that when Jesus says He is “meek and humble of heart,” He’s not talking about being passive or a pushover. In Greek, that word “meek” (praus) means a heart fully surrendered to the Father’s will. It’s not soft; it’s powerful.
He invites you; yes, even with your messy, distracted, sometimes-scrolling-during-prayer self, to graft your heart into His.
“To let His heart be the heart of our heart.”
Ireland Just Got Re-Consecrated to the Sacred Heart
Brooke also mentions some stunning recent news: Ireland was just reconsecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the Marian shrine of Knock on the Feast of Corpus Christi! The last time this happened was 150 years ago!
What the Saints Teach Us About the Sacred Heart
St. Thérèse of Lisieux called the Sacred Heart her hiding place. She wrote that she didn’t need purgatory after death, because she was letting His love be her purgatory now.
St. Padre Pio prayed a daily novena to the Sacred Heart for anyone who asked his prayers.
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, the Sacred Heart visionary, gave us the image we all know: Jesus revealing His pierced, flaming heart, crowned with thorns and glowing with love.
Brother reminds us that these saints weren’t just inspired by the Sacred Heart... they entered it.
Enter In; Don't Just Look
This is one of the most beautiful takeaways: we’re not just meant to look at or venerate the Sacred Heart; we’re meant to enter into it. Think of it like a divine invitation to spiritual open-heart surgery.
Brother Richard quotes St. Anthony of Padua, who said we shouldn’t just stay by the “entrance” of Jesus’ pierced side; we need to go all the way in. That’s where we find: light, peace, and Heaven on Earth.
Sacred Heart + Divine Mercy
Ever notice the connection between the Sacred Heart and Divine Mercy? Brother Richard ties it all together:
The Sacred Heart is Jesus offering His heart.
-Divine Mercy is drawing us in, through those rays of grace.
-Both devotions are all about growing in trust.
So, whether you pray “Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee” or “Jesus, I trust in You”, you’re tapping into the same ocean of mercy.
He reminds us: "You exist, so you are already loved." No performance needed. No filters. No spiritual résumé.
Here’s the real deal, friend:
The Sacred Heart is not a metaphor.
It’s real. It’s alive. It’s beating for you.
You’re invited in. Not tomorrow. Today.
So, whether you’re feeling close to Jesus or like your heart’s been duct-taped together this week… He’s offering you His own heart in exchange.
Light a candle. Put up an image of the Sacred Heart. Whisper, “Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like Yours.”
And then just… be loved.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

Timmerie shares a sense of awe and joy at the incredible increase in Catholic conversions happening globally... especially in places like France, the U.S., and the U.K. We’re talking up to 70% increases in some dioceses! The Diocese of Fort Worth, Texas had a whopping 72% jump in conversions from 2023 to 2024.
Most of these new Catholics are Gen Z and millennials. Yep... young adults in their 20s and 30s are filling the pews and receiving the sacraments like never before.
Why the Shift? Culture, COVID, and the Call of Beauty
Timmerie mentions interviews from The New York Post, where recent converts shared what drew them to the Church. Themes like:
-A deep dissatisfaction with the "feel-good" culture of non-denominational churches
-A hunger for reverence, beauty, and structure, especially found in the Mass and its ancient tradition
-The disorienting chaos of the world during the pandemic, which made people pause and re-examine their faith.
Take Sydney Johnson, a 30-year-old from California. The hustle culture had her burned out. During COVID, she slowed down, turned to prayer, and was captivated by the depth and order of the Catholic tradition. Same for Adrian Lawson, also 30, who struggled with mental health until the Rosary and Catholic community gave him a new lease on life. He said, "Since I started praying the Rosary and converted, I haven't had any of those issues."
Lost in the World, Found in the Church
A New York priest, Fr. Raymond La Grange, echoed a powerful point: young people are realizing the world can't give them what they're looking for. Everything is arbitrary, and that’s exhausting. They crave something solid, something with order, and they want something real.
The Movement Goes Global
And it’s not just the U.S. In France, over 10,000 adults converted this Easter alone, a 45% increase... with nearly half aged 18 to 25. Another 7,400 teenagers received the sacraments, up 33%. In the U.K., 41% of young adult churchgoers are now Catholic, compared to just half that being Anglican.
Timmerie even heard from French priests and sisters, many from the Community of St. John, who said some conversions are even coming secretly from Islam, with people risking everything to follow Christ. The sisters emphasized that, even in secular and anti-religious environments, God is still calling hearts, and people are responding.
Evangelization Is Working... And We’re All Part of It
A French sister told Timmere that this surge is happening because people are evangelizing boldly: sharing the Gospel, standing for truth, inviting others into the Church. That’s our mission too. People are yearning for something more... something whole, transcendent, and healing. The Catholic Church offers exactly that.

"Catholic mom guilt" is that feeling of never doing enough, especially when we’re comparing ourselves to other moms.
But here’s the thing: a lot of us don’t even realize we’re carrying this guilt until it’s quietly wrecking our peace. It’s sneaky. Like spiritual glitter.
Compare & Despair: The Catholic Edition
Ever see another mom totally crushing it and then suddenly find yourself spiraling into thoughts like:
"I don’t pray enough."
"My kids don’t know the St. Michael Prayer by heart!"
"I forgot to make Zeppole for St. Joseph’s Day... again."
You’re probably not called to 6am Angelus with toddlers if you’re 39 weeks pregnant and haven’t slept. And that’s okay.
Guilt vs. Conviction: How to Tell the Difference
Timmere and Catherine get into a super helpful distinction:
Healthy guilt = the Holy Spirit nudging you toward holiness, like "you snapped at your kids, go apologize and confess."
Toxic guilt = inner condemnation, "You’re the worst Catholic mom ever, how dare you skip that novena?"
If your inner voice sounds more like a bully than Jesus, it’s not from God.
When Mom Guilt Turns into Mom Condemnation
Another nugget: If you catch yourself being a little judgy toward the moms who are “doing all the things” ... that might actually be your own mom guilt, just wearing a mask.
Time to flip the script and get curious:
What is it about that other mom’s life that’s triggering something in me?
Is it something I admire but am not ready for? Or something that’s just... not my calling?
Authenticity Over Perfection
Timmere reminds us: your domestic church doesn’t need to look like everyone else’s.
Take the things that inspire you and make them your own.
Some moms wake up their kids with a bell and pray the Angelus. That’s beautiful.
Others pray a morning Hail Mary while surviving the cereal chaos. Also, beautiful.
And that “perfect mom” you see on social media? She’s struggling too. Promise.
Timmere admitted to losing her patience recently; she apologized to her kids, and later her 4-year-old apologized back.
Modeling mercy is one of the most powerful ways we can teach the faith.
Let them see you mess up. Let them see you get back up.
Practical Takeaways for Catholic Moms
Catherine shares two golden nuggets:
Learn how the Lord speaks to you: When you can tell His voice from the world’s noise, parenting becomes way more peaceful.
Learn to receive mercy: God is gentler with you than you are. Let that sink in.
And finally: instead of chasing someone else’s Catholic parenting blueprint, ask:
“Lord, how do YOU want me to raise these little saints?”
You're Not Called to Be Her. You're Called to Be YOU.
This episode was a giant permission slip to drop the guilt, laugh a little, and lean into the grace.
You're doing better than you think.

So, get this... Timmerie shares that Pope Leo has had an excellent workout routine. His trainer had no idea this humble, smiley, modest guy showing up a few times a week was even a Cardinal, let alone about to become the Pope.
This whole situation made Timmerie pause and ask:
“Am I taking care of my body?”
“Are you?”
We’re Body and Soul.
God didn’t just make us spiritual beings; He made us embodied souls.
The Pillars of Self-Care (According to Timmerie)
She breaks it down to four non-negotiables for basic human thriving, backed by science and super doable:
Sleep
Get eight hours a night. Hormones and brain function need it.
Food = Fuel
Start tracking protein.
Your ideal body weight = your daily protein grams.
E.g., goal weight: 150 lbs → eat 150g protein/day.
This curbs hangry-snacking and helps you feel full, stable, and energized.
Sunlight
Aim for 15–30 mins of sun a day, even if it’s just working on your laptop outside.
Sun helps with vitamin D, sleep cycles, stress, and mood.
Exercise
Pope Leo did it 2–3x/week (before becoming the Pope). You can too.
Minimum goal: 30 mins, 3x/week.
Ideal: Something daily, even if it’s just 15 minutes.
Whether it's walking, dancing, lifting random Amazon gear you forgot you owned, or following some quirky YouTube routine; you don’t need a gym membership. You just need a plan.
Spiritual Mic Drop from Timmerie:
"God created our bodies. He knows what they need. So, let’s stop starving them of sleep, nutrition, light, and movement... and start treating them like the temples they are."
And hey... next time you’re exercising, maybe offer it up for the Pope. He’s probably doing the same.

Managing the Good Life
https://ethicspress.com/products/managing-the-good-life
Timmerie is talking about a trend that’s turning heads and raising eyebrows: Gen Z gals (we’re talking late teens to late 20s) dating men decades older.
It’s Not Just About the Money (But Also… Kinda)
Timmerie sits down with Jim O’Day, Executive Director of Integrity Restored, to unpack this cultural phenomenon. It’s complicated.
Here’s what they think might be at play:
-Some Gen Z women don’t want to hustle. Burnout is real. Years of soccer practices, AP classes, and pressure to achieve has left them ready to say: “Sir, take me to a restaurant and pay for the charcuterie.”
-The financial comfort older men bring isn’t the only thing, but it’s definitely part of the attraction. Free dinners? Vacations? Yeah, that helps.
Emotional Stability
One of Jim’s friends is dating a woman 25+ years younger, and when asked why, she said:
“He’s emotionally stable. He does what he says he’s going to do. He makes plans.”
Older men, in many cases, are less glued to their phones, actually know how to have a conversation, and don’t ghost when life gets slightly inconvenient. Some Gen Z guys, meanwhile, are struggling with timidity, fear of real-life interaction, and a failure to launch.
Daddy Issues or Dating Wisdom?
Let’s be honest... there’s some truth to the idea that some of these girls are looking for a father figure. Not in a weird way, but in a “I never saw a man treat women with respect so I’m craving that” kind of way.
But Timmerie and Jim caution us: it’s not all sweet. With big age gaps come:
-Power imbalances
-Life-stage mismatches (think: he’s planning retirement and she’s picking out throw pillows from the store)
-Cultural confusion (she doesn’t know his music, his political history, or what dial-up internet was)
The Spiritual Dimension
Let’s not forget... spiritual mentorship is key here. These young women are often searching for good men, virtue, and leadership. And those are beautiful desires! But they don’t always need to be fulfilled through dating.
Timmerie suggests:
-Healing and discernment in friendship and faith
-Mentorship from mature men and women (not romantic!)
-And yes, a reminder that Jesus is the true Bridegroom

Timmerie just went there in this episode of Trending with Timmerie. She takes you into the world of Botox, plastic surgery, and our sometimes-awkward relationship with the mirror… and she does it with reverence and realism.
Wait, Baby Botox is a Thing?!
Yes. Yes, it is. And it's popular with teens and 20-somethings. Baby Botox = smaller doses of Botox to “start early” and prevent wrinkles. It’s now basically a rite of passage for some young adults… which is sad.
What’s Really Behind the Needle?
Timmerie challenges us to ask the why:
-Why are we doing this?
-Why do we feel not enough?
-Why is our value so tied to how we look?
She connects it to something deeper: the rise of body dysmorphia and our cultural obsession with changing what God already made good. Botox and surgeries don’t fix the real issue.
Celebrity Regrets
Tons of stars are now regretting their cosmetic tweaks:
-Cameron Diaz: “I’d rather see my face aging than one that doesn’t belong to me.”
-Kylie Jenner: Started procedures at 19, now says she hopes her daughter doesn’t.
-Ariana Grande: Quit Botox/fillers because it felt like hiding.
The wisdom from these women: Aging gracefully isn’t shameful. It’s authentic.
Even Kids Aren’t Safe from the Pressure
Brace yourself: Someone actually told Timmerie she should teach her little daughter not to be so expressive... because of future wrinkles. If that’s not a sign that our culture needs prayer, what is?
Botox ≠ Harmless
Think Botox is NBD? Think again. Timmerie points out:
-Long-term use paralyzes muscles.
-Some users are developing autoimmune issues and allergic reactions.
-And yes; it’s a literal toxin being injected into your face.
What the Church Says: Beauty, Body, and Limits
She pulls in wisdom from the USCCB's 2023 doctrinal note on the moral limits of tech and bodily manipulation. Key truths:
Our bodies are good.
Treating them like something we can endlessly “fix” or “upgrade” breaks down that truth.
We’re body and soul, made in God's image... and messing with that order has spiritual consequences.
So, Where Do We Go From Here?
Here’s Timmerie’s loving (but bold) call to action:
-Reclaim body literacy; know and understand your body.
-Celebrate natural aging; your laugh lines are signs of joy!
-Talk to your kids about where their worth comes from.
-Root your identity in God, not filters and fillers.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made, even if your face moves when you laugh. You don’t need injections to be beautiful. You need to see yourself the way God does. And that, friend, doesn’t come in a syringe.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror and sighed. You’re not alone. But let’s not let the world define beauty; let’s let the Creator do that.
Wrinkles are not the enemy. Lies about our worth are.

Timmerie is all in on our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV... and not just because he’s the first American Pope (though whoa, how cool is that?!). This episode of Trending with Timmerie feels like a heart-to-heart over coffee and YouTube reels, as she unpacks Pope Leo’s first homily and what it means for you and me.
Here’s what you need to know
A Pope Who Gets It
Timmerie kicks off by sharing her joy, and honestly, her giddiness about Pope Leo. Her four-year-old is already obsessed (“He’s so cute!”), and it’s contagious. Timmerie talks about the homily from his inauguration Mass and what it reveals about his vision as our spiritual papa.
Pope Leo’s Big Theme: Holiness Through Sacrificial Love
Pope Leo is setting the tone: he’s calling us to holiness... not by climbing a ladder of success or checking off boxes, but by sacrificial love. That’s the kind of love Christ modeled, and it's the love Peter was called into. Guess what?! You and I are called into it too.
Love + Unity = The Mission
Quoting St. Augustine, Pope Leo reminds us that our hearts are restless until they rest in God. We were made for Divine Love. That restlessness we feel is a hunger for the sacrificial, unshakable love of Christ.
Pope Leo connects this to Peter's calling: to be a fisher of men, pulling souls from “the waters of evil and death.” This is a battle cry. Pope Leo wants to rescue souls (our souls) by anchoring us in God’s unshakable love.
St. Peter's Call Is Our Call
The homily goes into that famous post-Resurrection moment when Jesus asks Peter three times:
“Do you love me?”
Here’s the twist:
-Jesus uses the Greek word for sacrificial love.
-Peter responds with the Greek word for friendly love.
It's awkward... but deeply human. Jesus is inviting Peter into deeper love, total self-giving love. Eventually, Peter gets it. He dies upside-down on a cross because he felt unworthy to die like Christ. That’s love. That’s leadership.
The Church’s Call: Not Just “Nice,” but Holy
Pope Leo quotes St. Augustine again to say the Church isn’t just a group of people who “get along.” It’s people who are radically united in loving their neighbor sacrificially: no fluff, no half-measures.
So, Pope Leo’s message is to stop playing Church. Let’s be the Church.
Takeaway from Timmerie:
Pray for Pope Leo. Read his homilies. And most of all, join him in this mission. The path to holiness isn’t glamorous, but it’s epic. And now we’ve got a Holy Father who’s not just talking the talk; he’s walking with us every step.
So… ready to be a fisher of souls with the Pope?

Timmerie sits down with Katy Faust, the fierce, truth-telling founder of Them Before Us, to talk about something that should be obvious but somehow isn’t anymore: why kids need their mom and their dad.
The Truth Your 4-Year-Old Already Gets
Timmerie kicks things off with a conversation she had with her 4-year-old daughter, who declared (with all the sass and certainty only a preschooler can muster):
t’s not true. They’re lying. Kids need a mommy and a daddy.”
Out of the mouths of babes.
In a world where everything is questioned (including whether moms and dads are interchangeable), this little girl sees reality clearly... and so does Katy Faust.
The Cultural Crisis: When Kids Are the Casualties
Katy explains how our culture has flipped the script. Instead of asking what children need, we now ask what adults want and then use kids to fulfill it. She explains why this is a major problem:
Kids Have a Right to Their Mom and Dad
Not just “a” mom or “a” dad... their biological parents. They’re the ones wired to love and protect that child in a uniquely fierce, sacrificial way.
Adoption, Katy says (as an adoptive mom herself), is a loving response to tragedy, not a model for how we should design families from the start.
Biological Identity = Personal Identity
Children deeply need to know: "Whose am I?"
When kids are cut off from their origins: via IVF, surrogacy, anonymous sperm donors, it fractures their sense of self.
Gender Balance Isn't Optional. It’s Essential.
Men father. Women mother. They do it differently. That’s a gift, not a glitch.
Two dads, two moms, or three poly-partners can't replicate the complementarity of a mom and a dad. And when we pretend otherwise, kids pay the price... often through confusion, identity struggles, or even increased risk of abuse.
Where the Battle’s Fiercest
Katy doesn’t mince words. The two biggest cultural flashpoints where kids are denied a mom and dad:
-Gay marriage made moms and dads legally optional.
-Reproductive technologies intentionally separate kids from their biological parents in the name of adult “choice.”
Real love puts kids first.
Love = Sacrifice
As Catholics, we believe children are a gift, not a right. And that means saying a loving no to practices that intentionally deprive them of their parents, even if it’s uncomfortable or unpopular.
Want more? Check out Katy's book, "Them Before Us". It’s a total eye-opener, and it's a call to put children’s rights before adult desires.
Kids need a mom and dad. And guess what? Even your preschooler knows it.

Contemporary Bioethics: Catholic Wisdom for a Confused Culture
https://www.ncbcenter.org/store/contemporary-bioethics-catholic-wisdom-for-a-confused-culture
Meet the Guest: Dr. Susan Caldwell
Dr. Caldwell is a NAPRO-trained women’s health and fertility specialist, former birth control prescriber, and cradle Catholic who didn’t always agree with Church teaching... until science (and some divine nudging) got her attention.
This episode is full of important info, but please remember:
This isn’t medical advice. Talk to a trusted physician (preferably one who respects your faith and your fertility!) before making any health decisions.
The Big Shift: From Pill-Pusher to Pro-Woman Doc
Dr. Caldwell shares her eye-opening journey:
-Took the Pill herself for 10 years, thinking it was “just what women do” to pursue professional goals.
-Prescribed it for years without question...until she started seeing patterns: breast cancer, strokes, blood clots in young women.
-She realized the risks weren’t “one in a million” flukes. They were dangerously underplayed.
-When she actually looked into the science and pathophysiology, it blew her mind and opened her heart to what the Catholic Church had been saying all along.
The Risks Are Real (And They're Not "Just Catholic")
Here’s why any woman should be concerned:
1. It’s a Group 1 Carcinogen
That’s the same level as cigarettes and asbestos. We don’t call that “healthcare.”
2. Mental Health Meltdown
Taking birth control while your brain is still developing (under 25) can cause permanent anxiety and depression.
3. Damaged Fertility
Many women who delay pregnancy find out too late that birth control sabotaged their fertility.
4. It Can Kill Babies
Many forms of contraception don’t just prevent pregnancy; they can act as abortifacients. Little lives lost without anyone knowing.
It’s Not Just About Morality. It’s About Mercy.
Dr. Caldwell stopped prescribing the Pill... not just because of Church teaching, but because she couldn't, in good conscience, ignore the science anymore.
She even apologized to patients she’d previously prescribed it to.
Was it scary? Oh yeah. Did some patients walk away? For sure.
But many stayed, listened, and even came back later with more questions. Seeds planted.
Real Talk: Women Deserve Better
Timmerie and Dr. Caldwell passionately argue that:
-Contraception is bad medicine.
-Women are not being told the truth about their bodies.
-It's not “just a Catholic issue.” It’s a human dignity and health issue.
-There ARE life-affirming, science-based alternatives (like NFP and NAPRO) that actually support women’s health.
Share the Truth. Start the Conversation.
Because women deserve to know the full story... not just the easy one.
Know someone who’s on the Pill “just because”? Share this episode. You might be the spark that leads them to real freedom.

The Children of Fatima Episode
https://omny.fm/shows/trending-with-timmerie-catholic-principles-applied/the-children-of-fatima
Timmerie just rocked this episode of Trending with a commentary on St. Peter’s wild rollercoaster of a spiritual journey: from face-palming mistakes to fearless faith.
She kicks it off reminding us why the whole world, Catholic or not, keeps one eye on the Catholic Church: because God’s authority in His Church is undeniable, magnetic, and kind of a big deal. And with all eyes often on Rome, especially during a papal election, she turns ours to... Peter, the first Pope.
He wasn’t born a saint. He struggled, and it’s the best news ever for us.
Peter the Passionate (a.k.a. The Guy Who Told Jesus He Was Wrong... Oops)
-Timmerie says that Peter was dramatic. Like, theatrical.
-He told Jesus, “God forbid, you won’t suffer and die!”
-Jesus responds: “Get behind me, Satan.” Yeah… not great.
Here’s the key: Peter failed hard, but he kept coming back. Even after denying Jesus three times, he didn’t stay stuck in shame. He ran back to Christ... and so should we.
“Here I Am, Lord…” (Even When I Mess Up)
Timmerie reminds us: every time we sin, we deny Christ, just like Peter. What sets saints apart is what they do after they mess up. Peter models radical repentance, and that's a masterclass in holiness.
Tip from Timmerie: Run to confession. RUN. 🏃♀️ Don’t be scared. Jesus wants you back.
When Jesus Walked on Water (and Peter Sank Like a Rock)
She takes us through John 6 and Matthew 14, where Peter literally steps out of a boat onto the sea. Epic courage... until he looks at the waves instead of Jesus and starts sinking.
Peter: “Lord, save me!”
Jesus: immediately grabs him.
Moral of the story: Even when you're in over your head, Jesus is just one desperate cry away.
“To Whom Shall We Go?”
Even when many people walked away from Jesus during the Bread of Life discourse, Peter stays. His words were utter gold:
“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
That’s the heartbeat of the faith. Not perfect understanding, but faithful love.
Takeaways from St. Peter's Messy, Beautiful Journey:
-Name change = mission change. When Jesus renamed Simon to Peter (aka Rock), he received a new identity.
-Friendship with Christ takes time, but it also transforms us.
-When you fall, get up fast and grab Jesus’ hand.
-Courage ≠ lack of fear. It’s acting anyway.
-Fortitude (acting even unto death) is the muscle of the saints.
Final Pep Talk from Timmerie:
Jesus is saying to YOU:
“It is I. Do not be afraid.”
Live the sacramental life. Stay in a state of grace. Confession and Eucharist are your lifeline.
Be like Peter: not because he was flawless, but because he never stopped trusting Jesus, especially when he fell.

As we mourn the loss of our Holy Father, it's also inspiring to reminisce back on when Pope Francis was first elected. If you've ever wondered what it was like to be in Rome during that historic moment, Timmerie will share her personal encounter and help you live vicariously through her!
You can hear Timmerie's full hour of reflections about Pope Francis and what happens when a pope dies here.
Timmerie arrived in Rome on March 19th, 2013, literally hours after Pope Francis’ papal inauguration on the Solemnity of St. Joseph! The air was electric with what she called an “after-party energy,” a lingering buzz of joy and hope among the crowds. All over the streets: chants of "Papa Francesco! Papa Francesco!"
The Popemobile Shocker
Let’s set the scene: for decades, the popemobile was this sealed-off, bulletproof bubble of security. But Pope Francis rolled out in an open-window Popemobile and then stepped out of it! Swiss Guards = panicked. Crowd = ecstatic.
Timmerie made her way to the front of the barrier, reaching out as far as she could. She didn’t manage to touch him, but it wasn't for lack of trying.
A Moment of Radical Mercy
Right next to her stood a young man in a wheelchair. Pope Francis had him lifted up over the crowd to be kissed and blessed. This was a direct rejection of the "culture of waste" the Pope often decried.
Timmerie captured that moment on her old-school 2013 iPhone. The photos spread like wildfire, showing the world a pope who would bend the rules to raise up the lowly. She saw it firsthand... the beginning of a new papal tone: intimacy, mercy, and fierce love for the forgotten.
A Shepherd Among the Sheep
She wraps her story remembering those early months when we’d hear how Pope Francis would sneak out at night to minister to the poor, something unthinkable with previous popes. But that was Pope Francis: a Latin American shepherd sent by the Spirit, literally stepping off his throne to be with his flock.
Timmerie was there for the birth of a new chapter in Church history. And she leaves us with a reminder to pray for the soul of Pope Francis, this bold, compassionate man chosen to lead us.
Father Robert Spitzer joins Trending with Timmerie diving into the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola explaining this as the heart of Jesuit Spirituality. (1:31) He explains how Jesuit Spirituality inspired Pope Francis's theme of mercy.

Timmerie talks about a viral rant from influencer Paige Connell: a mom, wife, and full-time working woman who aired out her frustrations online. And yep, she admits that she thought about divorce. Over what, you ask?
The dishwasher.
The trash.
And kids' backpacks.
But hang tight, because this conversation is about way more than chores.
Check out the whole episode!
The Mental Load Is Real… But Let’s Unpack It
Paige’s viral video blew up because so many women felt it: the overwhelm, the exhaustion, the invisible to-do list that’s constantly running in your head like a browser with 27 open tabs.
She shared how, despite having a good husband (like, objectively... a helpful, kind, involved dad), she still felt unseen and completely burned out. She became the project manager of her home, and it crushed her. One day she snapped: “I can’t do it all!”
Honestly, she’s not wrong to feel the weight. But...
Timmerie & Devin Schadt's Take
Timmerie brings in Devin Schadt, founder of Fathers of St. Joseph, to give the Catholic hot take.
Marriage Isn’t About “Equity”. It’s About Sacrifice
Modern feminism says: everything needs to be 50/50. Equal chore charts. Equal mental load. Equal everything.
Catholic teaching says: umm, nope. Marriage isn’t math... it’s a mission. Sometimes one gives 20%, the other gives 80%. It’s messy, but it’s sacred.
And equity doesn't work when people have different capacities, seasons, or actual roles.
The Perceived Problem vs. Reality
Paige’s husband was helping. But he wasn’t anticipating or planning the way she did, so she felt disrespected.
Devin points out: she didn’t want just help. She wanted him to read her mind, project-manage the house, and know what she needed without being told.
That’s not partnership... it’s pressure.
The Social Media Landscape
Devin doesn’t mince words: blasting your spouse online is a total fail.
Paige basically emasculated her husband in front of millions.
She turned a cry for help into a public shaming moment... and that’s not love. That’s venting turned viral.
Real respect is saying, "I believe in you. I know you can do this.” That’s what lifts men up and actually inspires them to step up more.
And Now, the Deeper Stuff…
We're in a culture that worships comfort and runs from sacrifice.
People bail on marriage when it gets hard, thinking they can find someone better.
Catholic marriage is unitive, procreative, and redemptive. It’s designed to purify us from selfishness and lead us to heaven.
Devin says this:
“The pain of loving someone sacrificially… is the pain of selfishness leaving the soul.”
Final Thoughts from Timmerie & Devin:
Ladies, your worth is not in your ability to do it all.
Men, you’re called to serve heroically, not just “help out.”
Marriage isn’t about keeping score... it’s about laying your life down.
Kids are not just a task to be accomplished. They’re eternal souls we’re forming. They need us, not just our productivity.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stretched too thin in marriage or parenting. It’s a wake-up call to stop chasing Pinterest-perfect balance and start living out the messy, beautiful, sacrificial love that Christ modeled.
So… what’s your take?
Ever felt the “mental load”? Do you think marriage should be “equal,” or something better?
Share this with a friend who’s drowning in laundry and wondering if they're the only one.

The Bold Premise
Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, president of the Ruth Institute and Catholic truth-teller extraordinaire, came on the show to call out a major myth:
🚫 “People are born gay.”
She’s not just throwing opinions around. She’s got the science receipts, the philosophical chops, and the Catholic anthropology to back it all up.
Science Says... Nope.
Let’s talk DNA and identical twins for a sec:
-The 2019 Human Genome Study found no “gay gene.” Not even a combo of genes that would reliably predict same-sex attraction.
-Identical twins: If being gay were genetic, you'd expect both twins to be gay nearly every time. It's only about 30%, which basically screams: Not born that way.
So... science has entered the chat.
Thoughts, Feelings, Behavior... It’s Complicated
Dr. Morse explains that “being gay” isn’t even one clearly defined thing. Researchers ask:
-How do you feel?
-What do you do?
-How do you identify?
Surprise! Those answers don’t always match up. So, when someone says, “I’m gay,” that could mean a LOT of different things. It’s not like having blue eyes or being left-handed (despite what the memes say).
Therapy Bans: What’s Really Going On?
There's a big push to ban conversion therapy. Dr. Morse points out:
That’s basically the government telling your therapist what they can and can’t say to you in a private room.
Yeah. Let that sink in.
The argument is that therapy like this is “harmful”, but the data doesn’t support that. What we do have is a bunch of ideologically driven fearmongering.
Meanwhile in the Self-Help Aisle...
Timmerie made a good point here...
In a culture OBSESSED with self-improvement:
"Top 5 Hacks to a Better You!"
"Change your habits, change your life!"
... somehow the one thing you can’t change... is your sexuality?
Make it make sense.
You Are Not Your Feelings
At the heart of this conversation is truth:
You are a rational being with free will.
You are not just a bundle of feelings or attractions.
You were created, body and soul, for a purpose.
YES, you can change. People do. All the time.
But What About My Friends?
Timmerie brought it home emotionally, too. She’s had close friends identify as gay. She gets the tension: especially for Gen Z, who crave authentic friendship but confuse love with approval.
Loving someone doesn’t mean you have to agree with every choice they make.
Sometimes the most loving thing you can do... is gently share the truth.
And to anyone personally struggling with same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria:
“This is not the final word on your identity.”
You are more than your feelings. And you are deeply, deeply loved.
So, What’s the Takeaway?
-No, you're not born gay. The science doesn't support it.
-Conversion Therapy isn’t harmful. In fact, people can and do change.
-Catholic teaching is both true and compassionate.
-You are not alone. You are loved. You are seen. And there is hope.

Timmerie addresses a show that you might want to steer clear of: Netflix’s new series Adolescence, which explores the crisis of boys today. It’s based on a story of a 13-year-old boy, Jamie, who murders a classmate after being rejected. Yes, that’s the plot, and the show tries to explore why he did it: including his deep hurt from bullying, the isolation of modern boys, and impurity.
Some of the content, while important to talk about, may not be appropriate for sensitive ears.
Timmerie’s big takeaway is that this show is part of the problem, not the solution. We’ve become so desensitized to disturbing content that we keep craving something more shocking. But what’s really chilling is that the show nails one thing: Boys are very much hurting. Badly. And the culture is not making it any better.
The Crisis of Boys:
Jamie’s character reveals a lot about the struggles young boys face today: isolation, lack of real relationships, confusion over identity, and being glued to screens. Pornography comes up in the third episode, and it’s clear it has wrecked his ability to form healthy relationships or even see himself properly.
What’s Making This Worse:
-The "Incel" culture: radicalized online communities of isolated men.
-A society where boys are constantly told they’re “toxic” just for being themselves.
-A school system that’s not built for them (sit still, be quiet, don’t move... yeah, no).
-Being over-medicated and told their natural energy is a “problem.”
What Parents Can Do (According to Timmerie):
-Tech Lockdown: Cut down on screen time. Seriously. Let kids be bored, climb trees, get dirty, and create stories with their imagination.
-Real Interaction: Kids need real FaceTime: like playing outside, talking with adults, hanging out with friends... not just scrolling through TikTok.
-Empathy and Faith: The number one thing that keeps kids away from porn is developing empathy. Guess what builds empathy? Faith and good moral values.
-More Time with Parents: Kids can't just get the leftover part of your time. They need the real deal, every single day. And yes, that’s exhausting, but it matters.
-Parent Watchfulness: You have to be there to notice the little things. A lot of the damage happens when kids are left alone with screens.
Timmerie raves about the work of Erica Komisar: particularly her books about raising resilient children by being there for them. No shortcuts. No outsourcing. Just being present.
The Faith Angle:
Timmerie explains why sending your children to Catholic school and going to Mass on Sundays is just the bare minimum. It’s about living the faith daily, praying with your kids, and building a strong foundation of grace and virtue.
The popularity of this Netflix show is just another warning sign. We’re addicted to the messed-up stuff because we’ve let it seep into our culture. The solution? Get your kids off screens, outside, and surrounded by loving, intentional parenting.

Life can be stressful, and maybe you feel like you're at the end of your rope. Now is the time to lean on help from the Holy Spirit!
Timmerie shared some solid wisdom about the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, specifically Peace and Patience, and she talked about why these two are basically must-haves if you want to keep your sanity and grow in holiness.
Timmere's Take on Peace:
-What It Is: Peace is way more than just stress relief. It's this deep sense of security in God.
-Fr. Robert Spitzer's Definition: He describes it as feeling truly “at home,” which makes sense because, in God, we’re back where we belong.
-The Problem: Our culture is all about being out of kilter: identity crises, constant distractions, and relationships that are out of whack. No wonder we’re restless!
-The Solution: Peace comes from trusting God and growing closer to Him. Prayer, the sacraments, staying in a state of grace... all those basics matter. Timmerie reminds you that this peace is a gift of the Holy Spirit, so don’t be shy about straight-up asking God for it.
Patience
-The Dangerous Gift: Ever pray for patience and suddenly everyone’s cutting you off in traffic and every store line is like a mile long? Yep, God answers by giving you opportunities to practice patience.
-What It Actually Is: Patience is about not losing your cool when life feels unfair or people are being difficult to deal with. It’s mercy and compassion for both others and yourself.
-St. Thomas Aquinas’ Wisdom: True patience isn’t just surviving annoyances; it’s staying unbothered by them. It’s like building resilience against suffering and not letting it mess up your commitment to virtue.
-Freedom in Patience: Timmerie points out that patience makes us free because it helps us stay grounded in doing what’s right, even when life feels like one big dumpster fire.
-Connection to Charity: Patience and love go together. The more you love God and others, the easier it is to be patient.
Takeaway Tips:
-Pray for these gifts: they’re from the Holy Spirit... not a DIY project.
-Lean into the sacraments and keep your prayer life strong.
-Keep perspective: What we see as evil or annoying might just be an opportunity to grow.
-Love first; patience will follow.
Now, go forth and practice being peaceful and patient; just, you know, try not to lose it if your coffee order’s wrong today.

St. Patrick (ca. 377)
Catechism of the Catholic Church 115-117
“God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.
All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers.
They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone”

Previous 7 Deadly Sins Episode:
https://omny.fm/shows/trending-with-timmerie-catholic-principles-applied/the-7-capital-virtues-7-deadly-sins
Timmerie explores what actually brings women joy, and it’s NOT what modern feminism is selling.
The Big Lie: “Empowerment” Through Motherhood Rejection
International Women’s Day rolls around, and social media is flooded with the same old messaging: women are "empowered" by abortion, contraception, surrogacy, and even daycare. Timmerie argues that these aren’t liberating at all; in fact, the greatest injustice against women is the "destruction and exploitation of motherhood."
Psychotherapist Erica Komisar (who’s not even Catholic, mind you) has been putting out research that proves what we already know deep down: kids need their moms, especially in their early years. Yet, this truth is wildly unpopular in the corporate-driven culture.
Wait… Women Are Happier Doing “Domestic” Things?
If social media trends are any indicator, women are rediscovering joy in the very things that used to be considered "burdens": knitting, homemaking, cooking, homesteading. There’s a deep craving for a return to home and family life, even if the world still tries to make it seem regressive.
Science Agrees: Moms at Home Are Happier (Even If It’s Hard)
Studies from the Institute for Family Studies and other sources show that stay-at-home moms experience higher life satisfaction and rarely regret their decision, even though being home is demanding. Sure, secular studies try to spin it like being at home is isolating, but what they leave out is that these same women report deep fulfillment. Motherhood is tough, but it’s also full of meaning.
Timmerie, a mom of (almost) three, totally gets it. The stress is real (toddlers are relentless), but the reward is deeper than any job title. God doesn’t promise easy, but He does promise abundance. That abundance is often tied to embracing the maternal call, whether it’s biological or spiritual motherhood.
So… What’s the Secret to Women’s Happiness?
Living in line with God’s design. Motherhood, whether physical, spiritual, or vocational, is at the core of a woman’s identity. Even women in STEM or corporate roles thrive most when they can nurture others in some way. That’s why we see more women gravitating toward careers like teaching, nursing, and caregiving. It’s built into their very souls.
As St. Edith Stein put it, “A woman’s soul is fashioned as a place in which other souls unfold.”
The culture tells women that happiness comes from career success, independence, and rejecting traditional roles. The actual data: more importantly, women’s lived experiences, say otherwise. True joy comes from embracing who women were made to be.
Bottom line: Ladies, your deepest fulfillment isn’t in fighting against your nature; it’s in embracing it.
What do you think... Do you see this shift happening around you?

Okay, y’all, Lent is here! Timmerie shares some super practical ways to grow this season. Whether you're a sleep-deprived mom, a married couple looking for spiritual connection, or just someone trying to figure out what to give up (besides chocolate for the 12th year in a row), she’s got you covered.
Mom Life: Surviving (and Thriving) Spiritually with Toddlers
Busy mom? No problem.
Timmerie gets it: tiny humans demand everything, but that doesn’t mean Lent is a lost cause. She suggests:
-Wake up before your kids (even if it’s painful) to pray. It sets the tone for the day.
-Start your day on your knees. Even if it’s just a quick “Jesus, help me,” it models prayer for your kids.
-Use bedtime struggles for prayer time. Stuck snuggling a kid who won’t sleep? Offer it up and pray for them instead of doom-scrolling.
(Bonus: Less frustration when bedtime takes forever.)
Married Couples: Level Up Your Prayer Game
If you’re not praying together, Lent is the perfect time to start. Timmerie’s top picks:
-Pray the Rosary together. Simple, powerful, and brings grace.
Night prayer! Do an Examination of Conscience together and end the day in peace.
Read “Discernment of Spirits in Marriage” by Fr. Timothy Gallagher. Highly recommended for deepening your spiritual connection.
(Imagine finishing Lent actually feeling closer to your spouse.)
What to Give Up or Do for a Meaningful Lent?
The winning formula from Timmerie: "Pray. Give up sin. Go to confession."
-Figure out your biggest struggle and attack it head-on.
-Replace sin with virtue. Struggle with gossip? Work on speaking words of encouragement.
-Beg God for the grace to actually change. (Because, let’s be honest, white knuckling it alone never works.)
(Confession isn’t just a suggestion... it’s a game-changer.)
Finding a Spiritual Director (Without Losing Your Mind)
Looking for an Ignatian spiritual director? Timmerie recommends:
-Books by Fr. Timothy Gallagher: Start there!
-Checking out the Divine Mercy University on the East Coast, where lay people are trained in spiritual direction.
-Being open to the reality that not all priests are trained (or available) for spiritual direction. It’s okay to seek guidance from a trained layperson.
(Basically, don’t get discouraged if your parish priest is too busy... other great options exist!)
How Do You Know What to Do This Lent?
Grow where you’re planted.
-Whether you’re single, married, struggling, thriving, lonely, or overwhelmed: God has placed you here for a reason.
-Ask yourself: What does holiness look like in my current season of life?
-Lent isn’t about changing your circumstances; it’s about letting God change YOU within your circumstances.
Bottom Line:
Lent is about growing in holiness, right where you are. Whether it’s carving out prayer time, deepening your marriage, fighting sin, or just staying faithful in the small stuff, God has major graces waiting for you.
So… what’s your game plan this Lent? Let’s go!
(P.S. Share this with a friend who always forgets it’s Friday and accidentally eats a cheeseburger.)

In this episode of Trending with Timmerie, she investigates the Gen Z love affair with labels; no, we're not talking about fashion brands.
Timmerie points out that Gen Z is super into self-labeling, including with mental health and personality traits. You’ll hear:
-
“I have ADHD.”
-
“I’m OCD.”
-
“I’m an introvert, dyslexic, and BPD.”
But why the label craze?
Because Gen Z is on a relentless search for identity. They crave belonging and meaning in a world where traditional anchors (like faith, family, and community) feel shaky. Labels become their badges of honor but also shields, a way to explain their struggles and find their place.
Timmerie isn’t here to shame anyone; she gets that these are real wounds and real challenges. But she makes a bold claim: Labels shouldn’t define us. God does.
She reminds you that your deepest identity isn’t found in personality tests, diagnoses, or even life circumstances: it’s found in being made in the image of God. When we know that... we’re not trapped by labels; we’re freed from them.
Takeaway:
Gen Z isn’t broken; they’re searching. The answer isn’t another label: it’s love, purpose, and identity rooted in Christ.
How can you influence someone you know in this generation to reclaim their God-given identity today?

Can you believe it? Even The New York Times: yep, that New York Times... published an investigation calling out Planned Parenthood’s shocking negligence and dark underbelly. In this episode of Trending, Timmerie chats with Dr. Ingrid Skop, an OB-GYN and VP at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, detailing this bombshell report.
Major Red Flags Revealed:
Botched Abortions: A woman in New York thought she had an abortion, only to give birth 12 weeks later to a baby who sadly passed away. She’s now suing.
Horrific Malpractice: Misplaced IUDs, failed procedures, and even birth control implants causing nerve damage.
Sickening Conditions: One clinic had a sewage leak so bad it made patients vomit.
Neglected Patients: Positive STD results never passed on, leading to untreated infections.
But... Where’s the Money Going?
$700M in taxpayer money.
$500M in private donations.
$90M in COVID loans.
Yet, clinics are underfunded, staff are poorly trained, and turnover rates hit 50% a year. The article makes it clear: Planned Parenthood isn’t about women's health; it’s about abortions and lobbying.
What’s the Real Choice?
Dr. Skop mentions that there are 3,000+ pregnancy resource centers across the U.S. offering free services: ultrasounds, counseling, material support, you name it. These centers are powered by people who actually care about women and their babies.
Timmerie and Dr. Skop emphasize this: Planned Parenthood markets "choice," but real choice means support, love, and options, not pressure and pain.
Bottom Line:
Even the NYT couldn’t sweep this under the rug. It’s time we help shine more light on the truth and support real women’s healthcare that values both moms and their babies.
Secularists Agree: the great global crisis is men opting out. Devin Schadt from The Fathers of St. Joseph joins Trending with Timmerie. (1:20) Secularists call for a code for men. (24:19) Give up your family for Lent. (41:31) Validating your wife: how to date your wife. (46:47)

Timmerie brings up a sensitive but crucial topic: why IVF isn’t the hopeful solution it’s often made out to be.
The Heart of the Issue:
Timmerie tells you about a real-life story: a Catholic couple who struggled with 10 years of infertility. They were tempted by IVF but chose to trust God's plan instead of using third-party reproductive tech. The good news is that they finally had a natural conception just months later!
But then came President Trump's executive order promoting wider access to IVF. His goal is more babies, stronger families. Noble intentions, right? But Timmerie hits pause and says, “Wait... there’s more to this.”
So, What’s the Big Problem with IVF?
Timmerie says that IVF isn’t just a “magic fix” for infertility. It carries serious risks and moral dilemmas:
High Failure Rate:
93% of embryos don’t survive the process. Yup, you read that right... only 3-7% result in a live birth. That’s a lot of tiny lives lost in the process.
Strain on Marriages:
Studies (especially out of Scandinavia) show that 1 in 3 couples who go through IVF end up divorced: even if the IVF was “successful.” The emotional toll is real.
Financial Burden:
IVF isn’t cheap: think $12K-$25K per round. Most couples go through multiple rounds, racking up huge bills. Some end up in serious debt chasing that dream of a baby.
Ethical Dilemmas:
IVF often leads to practices like selective reduction (aka abortion) when many embryos implant or when some don’t meet desired health/genetic standards.
Women’s Health Risks:
IVF puts intense strain on a woman’s body, especially if underlying health issues aren’t addressed.
A Better Way? Yes!
Instead of IVF, Timmerie suggests NAPRO Technology: a science-backed, Church-approved method that works with a woman’s body to restore fertility naturally. It tackles root causes like:
Hormonal imbalances (progesterone)
Thyroid issues
Endometriosis
Poor egg/sperm quality
And even scar tissue from past health conditions
NAPRO is about healing the body and respecting God’s design for life.
Final Thoughts:
Timmerie’s not here to shame couples struggling with infertility; it’s heartbreaking and hard. But she urges us to ask:
💭 “Are we trusting God’s timing and design? Or are we playing God with life itself?”
She calls for prayer for President Trump and his administration, especially as he attempts to implement policies that expand IVF access, and she encourages families to look into ethical, life-affirming alternatives.
So, if you or someone you know is walking the painful road of infertility, there’s hope. There’s healing. And there’s a way forward that respects both life and love.

What is the carnivore diet?
https://relevantradio.com/2024/12/what-is-the-carnivore-diet/
St. Valentine’s Day has turned into a Hallmark explosion of chocolates, flowers, and cringey teddy bears. But the man behind it was a total legend. Forget Cupid: St. Valentine was a priest who literally risked everything to defend sacramental marriage.
Who Was St. Valentine?
St. Valentine was a hardcore Catholic rebel. In the 3rd century, Emperor Claudius II was out here banning marriage because he thought single soldiers made better warriors. St. Valentine wasn’t having it. He kept marrying couples in secret because he knew that marriage is sacred and gives grace for the toughest battles, both on the battlefield and in life.
He got caught, and for the "crime" of performing weddings, he was sentenced to a brutal three-part execution: beating, stoning, and finally, decapitation.
Before his epic martyrdom, he performed a miracle: he healed a blind girl. (Legend has it, she was the daughter of the very judge who sentenced him.) He also wrote letters to her, signing them “Your Valentine.” Yup, that’s where our Valentine’s Day tradition comes from: not from overpriced roses, but from a saint who gave his life for love.
Suffering: What’s the Point?
St. Valentine’s story is about sacrificial love. The kind of love that’s willing to suffer.
Suffering isn’t meaningless. It’s a mystery, but it’s also how we grow. Pope St. John Paul II wrote about how suffering is part of our human nature: it forces us to go beyond ourselves and find our transcendence in God.
We all have choices when it comes to suffering:
🔹We can run from it. (Netflix binge and avoidance tactics.)
🔹 We can become bitter victims. ("Why me, God?!")
🔹 Or we can surrender it to Christ and let it transform us.
Venerable Fulton Sheen nailed it when he said many people are “half-crucified souls.” They carry their cross part of the way but give up before the finish line. But real Christians endure till the end. Just like St. Valentine. Just like Jesus.
Takeaways from St. Valentine’s Story
Marriage matters. If you’re married outside the Church, maybe it’s time to bring your marriage into the fullness of Christ’s grace.
Love = Sacrifice. True love isn’t just butterflies and heart eyes; it’s choosing to love even when it’s hard.
Suffering can be redemptive. When you’re struggling, don’t just “get through it”: offer it up and let God use it for something greater.
So, this Valentine’s Day, sure, enjoy the chocolates. But also remember the warrior priest who died for real love. #BeLikeStValentine

Alright, let’s talk about the ridiculous term "geriatric mom": because, seriously, what kind of backhanded nonsense is that? Timmerie brings up this fear-mongering myth that pressures women: even Catholic, pro-life women, into believing that having babies past 35 is some kind of medical disaster. It’s not!
The Science No One Talks About
Timmerie stumbled upon peer-reviewed studies (yes, actual science, not just internet fear) showing that having kids later in life can actually be good for moms. Here’s the twist:
Moms who have their last baby after 33 have higher odds of living longer
Telomeres (those little DNA protectors that keep you young) are longer in women who have kids after 35: meaning your body might actually age slower
Another study found the same thing for moms over 40: longevity is linked to reproductive lifespan
Why This Matters
The medical community (which is, let’s be real, often deeply tied to a pro-abortion mindset) has been scaring women out of having kids for decades. Timmerie shares how so many Catholic women she knows have stopped having children: not because they wanted to, but because they were scared into it.
But here’s the thing: Catholic teaching (think Humanae Vitae) actually supports responsible parenthood, not fear-based avoidance of children. It’s about discernment, not arbitrary age cutoffs.
Real Women, Real Stories
Timmerie gives an example of a friend who had multiple kids in her late 30s and early 40s and is healthier than ever. Her advice? Don’t listen to the fear-mongering. If she had, she wouldn’t have her children today.
Babies Aren’t Bad for You!
The culture wants women to believe that motherhood = health risk, but science (and faith!) tell a different story. Babies are a blessing. They don’t make you old; they might just help you live longer!
What happens when a feminist hears the man’s perspective on losing his child to abortion? Dr. Pat Castle of Life Runners joins Trending with Timmerie. (8:06) 82% of post-abortion mothers said if they had encountered just one supportive person or encouraging message, they would have chosen life. (21:28) 3 women escape after being held captive and exploited at a human egg farm in Georgia. (37:25)

Ever feel like your kids are being raised by TikTok instead of you? Well, you’re not crazy. Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, an expert on digital addiction and author of Glow Kids and Digital Madness, is here to explain just how much technology is hijacking our kids' sense of identity.
The Big Takeaway: Tech Is Raising Our Kids
Timmerie and Dr. Kardaras detail how kids develop their identity.:
🔹 Ages 0-2: Babies think they’re the same person as Mom.
🔹 Ages 2-10: Kids start forming their own sense of self, largely based on their parents.
🔹 Ages 10+: Friends become the biggest influence… except today, “friends” = TikTok influencers, YouTubers, and random internet people.
The Tech Takeover
Back in the day, kids looked up to real people they actually knew: parents, teachers, coaches. Now, they’re spending 9-13 hours a day online, being shaped by influencers, many of whom are struggling with their own identity issues.
Used to be: “I wanna be like that athlete!”
Now: “I wanna be like a YouTuber who eats ghost peppers for a living.”
And the scariest part? Parents often have NO IDEA who their kids are following or what values they're absorbing. Unlike past celebrities, today’s influencers are constantly in their faces, shaping their views on everything: gender, morality, success, even posture and clothing.
The Solution: Build Identity Before the Internet Does
Dr. Kardaras says that kids need a strong foundation before they get swallowed by the digital vortex. The key? Faith, family, and real-world activities.
Family time: Kids need real human connection, not just screen time.
Faith formation: A relationship with God gives them an identity rooted in truth, not social media trends.
Sports & Hobbies: Teamwork, discipline, and purpose keep them grounded.
If they don’t have these things in place early, they’re much more vulnerable to the “influencer identity trap,” where they start imitating people they’ve never even met.
The Bottom Line
Your kids are going to be influenced by someone. The question is: who’s calling the shots? If you don’t help them build a rock-solid sense of self, the internet will do it for you.
So, start young. Be intentional. Know who your kids are following. And maybe… just maybe… keep them off TikTok until they know who they actually are.

Okay, we need to talk. Because somewhere along the way, our culture got really messed up about motherhood and babies. Instead of celebrating new life, we act like kids are a problem to be solved. Timmerie shares her thoughts in this episode of Trending with Timmerie, and trust us: you’ll want to hear this.
The Pressure Is Real… And It’s Everywhere
Women today are basically bombarded with messages telling them that having kids is a mistake. From social media to movies, from coworkers to family members, the message is clear:
Don’t have kids too soon.
Don’t have too many.
Don’t talk about wanting them too much.
And if you do have one… hurry up and get back to “real life.”
Even miscarriage grief is dismissed. Women are told, “Well, at least it was early,” or “It wasn’t the right time.” And if you struggle with infertility? Society calls it “lucky.”
Meanwhile, statistics show that 7 out of 10 women who have abortions feel pressured into it: by boyfriends, parents, the culture, or even their own fear. This isn’t “freedom.” It’s a crisis of a world that no longer values motherhood.
Babies Are Good. Motherhood Is Good. Period.
Timmerie makes a powerful point: being truly pro-life isn’t just about opposing abortion: it’s about celebrating and promoting motherhood before it even begins. That starts with:
Encouraging little girls to love babies (yes, even by letting them play with baby dolls!)
Helping teens and young women see motherhood as a gift, not an obstacle
Supporting moms
Building a culture where big families are admired, not shamed
We’ve reached a point where three kids is considered excessive. (What?!) Timmerie is so excited to give birth to her third child, and she can't believe that people actually telling her, “Oh, this is your last one, right?” before she’s even given birth. Since when did multiplying mean stopping at two?!
Let’s Flip the Script on Our Culture
Want to really change the world? Start celebrating babies. Timmerie shares beautiful moments where total strangers: teen girls, single women, even fellow travelers on airplanes... light up when they see a baby. They want to hold them. They ache for that joy.
Society stifles that. Instead of encouraging women to embrace their maternal instincts, we hear:
“You’re too smart to be ‘just’ a mom.”
"Your career is more important.”
“Your kid doesn’t really need you: daycare will raise them just fine.”
Lies. Lies. Lies.
The truth? Kids thrive when their parents are present. Families grow stronger when they embrace life. And women were made for this. Not because they have to be moms: but because motherhood is one of the most beautiful, powerful, and world-changing things we can do.
So, What Can We Do?
Support and encourage moms
Push back on anti-family comments (“Oh, your hands must be full!” → “Yep! Full of joy!”)
Let young women know that it’s okay to love babies and dream of motherhood
Help women struggling with infertility; don’t dismiss their pain
Keep celebrating life: whether it’s a pregnancy, a new baby, or a baptism
The bottom line? Babies are a BLESSING. Motherhood is beautiful. We need to start acting like it.
What do you think? Have you ever felt the subtle pressure to have fewer kids... or none at all?

Trending with Timmerie just delivered some fantastic updates on the gender debate: and there’s hope on the horizon!
Timmerie is buzzing about how the conversation around gender is shifting across the U.S., even in places like California (yes, California!). Parents’ rights, teachers’ freedoms, and the truth about our God-given identity as male and female are gaining traction.
The Big Deal in California: Mirabelli v. Olson
There’s a HUGE court case brewing in California that could change the game for everyone. Mirabelli v. Olson challenges policies that force teachers to keep parents in the dark if their child is struggling with gender dysphoria or questioning their identity. Yes, this is a thing: teachers are actually being told to lie to parents.
BUT here’s the good news:
District Court Judge Roger Benitez (a total rockstar) is standing up for parents’ rights.
He’s made it crystal clear that teachers don’t have to follow these deceitful policies.
Judge Benitez even said that parents have a constitutional right to know what’s going on with their child because they are the primary caretakers. He called out these policies as a violation of the First Amendment.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just a win for California. If this case makes waves, it could influence similar situations across the country. It’s part of a growing movement that’s challenging the idea that kids have more privacy rights than parents, especially when it comes to life-altering decisions like gender identity.
What’s the Catholic Take?
We know the truth of male and female as created by God (Genesis 1:27). Timmerie is encouraging us not to back down or shy away from sharing the truth about gender. It’s about lovingly helping kids embrace their God-given identity, while holding schools accountable to respect parental authority and behave lawfully.
Other Encouraging Signs
Timmerie also mentioned similar movements happening in Ohio and other states. It’s clear: people are waking up to the reality that this whole gender ideology experiment isn’t working. Families are uniting, laws are being challenged, and truth is making a comeback.
Be Encouraged! Speak Truth!
Timmerie gave you a call to action: Don’t be afraid to speak the truth about gender, even if it feels like you’re the only one. Guess what? You’re not. There are so many people (even in unlikely places) who agree with the beauty and truth of male and female but just aren’t vocal yet. You could make the difference!
Final Thought: Stay hopeful, stay prayerful, and keep fighting for the truth. This is a battle worth fighting: not just for our kids, but for the future of a culture rooted in God’s design.
“The truth will set you free.” —John 8:32
Let’s keep the momentum going.

https://relevantradio.com/2024/12/what-is-the-carnivore-diet/
This Trending with Timmerie episode featuring Sal Di Stefano from Mind Pump Media was the ultimate pep talk for anyone trying to level up their fitness routine in the new year. Sal brought the goods with practical, science-backed hacks to take your workouts and overall health to the next level: no burnout required. These are simply tips to consider and be sure to consult your doctor!
Stop Trying to Outwork Your Body: Make Exercise a Skill
Sal’s first piece of wisdom? Stop thinking of exercise as a “get sweaty” contest. It’s not about being the most exhausted person in the gym. Instead:
Treat your workout like a skill. Whether you're swimming, strength training, or doing Pilates, slow down. Focus on perfecting your form.
Why? Better form = fewer injuries + better results + feeling stronger.
For example: Instead of rushing through swimming laps, slow your pace and improve your efficiency. Same with lifting weights; less is more when your technique is on point.
Timmerie’s note: "Slowing down is a game-changer! Even pro athletes I train think it’s torture at first, but they feel muscles they never knew existed the next day."
Protein is Your BFF
You’ve heard it before, but Sal laid it out so well. Here's something you may want to consider!
Aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of your target body weight. Example: If your goal weight is 150 lbs, eat 150g of protein/day.
Why? Protein helps with fat loss, muscle building, strength gains, and preserving lean tissue.
Pro tip: Eat your protein first at every meal. It reduces cravings, keeps your blood sugar stable, and helps you feel fuller longer.
Timmerie’s take: “Skip the hangry moods! I’m always telling people, just eat some protein, and suddenly they’re a whole new (nicer) person.”
Creatine: The MVP of Supplements
Sal recommended creatine monohydrate as something that could help! You can get your doctor's opinion too!
It’s not just for bodybuilders: it’s great for everyone, boosting energy, improving muscle strength, and even supporting longevity.
How to take it: The easiest way to consider could be through gummies. Not into those? You could also mix the powder into water or a shake; don’t overthink it.
Sal’s hack: “If you’re not consistent with the powder, grab some gummies. Whatever makes it easier for you to stay on track!”
Stretch Smarter, Not Harder
If you’ve been stretching the wrong way (hint: static stretching), Sal’s got you covered:
Dynamic stretches before a workout: Think movement-based stretches that warm you up without disconnecting your muscles from your brain. Example: Leg swings or walking toe touches.
Static stretches AFTER workouts or before bed: Great for relaxing the nervous system and improving flexibility. (Think: Sitting hamstring stretches or hip openers.)
Back pain or sciatica? Try these:
Piriformis stretch (a.k.a. "figure 4 stretch"): Cross one ankle over the opposite knee while sitting, then lean forward.
Pelvic tilts: Lie on your back, knees bent, and gently arch/flatten your lower back.
Timmerie’s fave: “That figure 4 stretch? Lifesaver. And you don’t even have to get on the floor—perfect for chair stretchers like me!”
BONUS HACKS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED
High-protein breakfasts = stable blood sugar all day. (No more 3 p.m. cookie cravings.)
If you’re dealing with nutrient deficiencies (like vitamin D or iron), get tested! Fixing these will supercharge your energy levels and workouts.
Takeaway Time
Sal’s hacks are all about simplifying your routine so it works for you, not against you:
Master the skill of your workout.
Protein first, always.
Creatine for the win!
Stretch dynamically before workouts, statically after.
Timmerie’s challenge: “Take just ONE of these tips this week and commit to it. Slow down your workouts, up your protein, or stretch properly. You’ll feel the difference!”

So, be honest: have you actually memorized all the gifts from the 12 Days of Christmas yet? No judgment here, but most of us barely make it to “five gooooolden riiings!” before mumbling the rest. But did you know this song isn’t just about random birds and overly generous true loves? Nope. It might actually be a sneaky, genius way to teach the Catholic faith!
During those rough years of Catholic persecution in England (1558-1829), when catechizing openly could land you in serious trouble, this seemingly innocent carol may have been a covert way to help Catholic kiddos (and adults!) memorize key truths of the faith.
Timmerie explains what each verse really means:
Partridge in a Pear Tree = Jesus, who’s all about self-sacrificing love.
Two Turtle Doves = The Old and New Testaments, reminding us that God’s story is one big love letter.
Three French Hens = Faith, Hope, and Charity: those powerhouse theological virtues.
Four Calling Birds = The Four Gospels.
Five Golden Rings = The Torah (the first five books of the Bible, where it all begins).
Six Geese A-Laying = The six days of creation.
Seven Swans A-Swimming = The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. (Graceful and full of purpose!)
Eight Maids A-Milking = The Beatitudes. (Milking the blessings of the Sermon on the Mount.)
Nine Ladies Dancing = The fruits of the Holy Spirit, aka what happens when grace is working in your life.
Ten Lords A-Leaping = The Ten Commandments. (Obeying God’s law = spiritual leaps and bounds!)
Eleven Pipers Piping = The eleven faithful Apostles.
Twelve Drummers Drumming = The twelve articles of faith in the Apostles’ Creed. (Drumming that truth into your heart.)
Timmerie totally nailed it when she said this song invites us to go deeper into our faith while having a little fun along the way. So next time you hear it (which, let’s be honest, will be at least 20 times before Christmas), let it remind you of the richness of our Catholic faith.
P.S. Got this stuck in your head now? Same. You’re welcome.

If you’ve ever felt that soul-crushing loneliness or wondered how faith can combat the modern isolation crisis, this insight from Timmerie is for you.
Loneliness: A Rising Epidemic
Gallup says 1 in 5 adults feels lonely, and it’s getting worse every quarter. Those who don’t feel lonely often have something in common: faith, fulfilling work, and a strong sense of community. Gallup suggests volunteering, exercising, and fostering relationships, but Timmerie? She dives straight into the faith factor.
Why Relationships Are Literally in Our DNA
Timmerie reminds us that God created humans for relationship, not isolation. Like, think about it:
We start life literally attached to another human being (thank you, moms!).
Babies need physical touch to thrive: it’s not "needy"; it’s God-designed.
Even in Genesis, God looked at Adam and said, “It’s not good for man to be alone.”
The Incarnation: God’s Solution to Loneliness
Christ’s coming is the ultimate "I see you." God didn’t just send a postcard; He became man. Why? To touch, see, and be with us face-to-face.
Mind-blowing thought: Jesus shows up today just as real, in the Eucharist. We taste, see, and touch Him in Holy Communion. That's divine intimacy.
The Pain of Loneliness
Timmerie gets real: Loneliness isn’t just about being physically alone. You can be surrounded by people and still feel empty.
Example? Her 3-year-old’s heartbreak when her cousin said, "You’re not my best friend anymore." (We all feel that sting, even if we’re older and more “mature.”)
Sometimes, loneliness is a void meant for God. Remember what St. Augustine said? “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
What Can YOU Do?
Timmerie gives practical, faith-filled advice for escaping the loneliness trap:
Run to the Eucharist. It’s the ultimate antidote to being alone. Jesus is literally waiting for you.
Get involved in the world. Volunteer, attend events, shop in person, join a ministry. People can’t know you exist if you’re hiding at home!
Be the friend you wish you had. Relationships aren’t about perfection. People are messy, and that includes you.

Okay, friends, let’s talk about this inspiring convo between Timmerie and Joette Calabrese on Trending with Timmerie. They shared how homeopathy has transformed their everyday health care: like, everything from sniffles to major postpartum recovery. Joette, with her 38+ years of experience, shared some practical and faith-inspired gems about using natural remedies. You're invited to learn more and decide if it's best for you. Let’s unpack it!
By the way, be sure to listen to the whole hour here!
Highlights from the Chat: Homeopathy for Everyday Life
Joette kicked things off by explaining how homeopathy helps her tackle daily stuff like anxiety, insomnia, colds, and even injuries.
Catholic Roots in Homeopathy
Did you know St. Mother Teresa used homeopathy in her work with the poor? Or that several Popes had homeopathic doctors? From battling cholera in the 1800s to serving modern-day Pontiffs, homeopathy has deep ties to Catholic history.
Joette shared how this approach could fit naturally with Catholic families: homeschoolers, home-birthers, and DIY types who love autonomy.
Homeopathy might make a HUGE difference in caring for your family, whether you’re new to this or a seasoned pro. It’s about feeling empowered to handle your family’s health without always relying on pharmaceuticals.

Okay, so if you're feeling a little overwhelmed this Advent season: gifts to buy, Christmas lights half-strung, cookies burnt, and parenting stress: Timmerie and Fr. Robert Spitzer have some wisdom to save your sanity (and soul)!
Here’s advice from Father:
Christ’s Big Advent Gifts:
-Redemption from evil (Bye, Satan).
-Tools for battle: Sacraments (especially confession and the Eucharist), Scripture, and moral teachings.
Father’s 5-Step "Get Ready for Jesus" Plan:
Mass & Confession:
Feeling “meh” about your spiritual life? Add a weekday Mass or go to confession more often. (Yes, confession can be hard but it's not worth leaving your soul unprotected!)
Scripture & Prayer:
Carve out time to meditate on Scripture. Even 2 days a week of reading God’s Word can make a big difference.
Examine Your Soul:
Use an examination of conscience (loads of free ones online) to spotlight what’s holding you back. Just pick three areas to focus on: don’t overdo it!
Jesus’ Moral Playbook:
Reflect on His teachings and how you’re living them. It’s like a spiritual New Year’s resolution.
Keep It Realistic:
Don’t aim for perfection by January 1. Small, sustainable steps are key.
Pro-Tips
Think of these habits like spiritual weight training: add a little at a time and watch your strength grow.
Father reminds us that this isn’t about guilt-tripping; it’s about freedom from evil’s grip and making room for the peace and joy Jesus wants to bring you this Christmas.
Advent is your time to prep your soul for the arrival of the King of Kings: not just the next chaotic Christmas party. So, turn down the seasonal noise and get serious about Christ’s gifts. The best present you can offer Him? A heart ready to say yes.
Now, light those Advent candles and get to work!

Timmerie and Michael Gasparro explore a topic that hits home during the season: loving family members who may not follow Catholic teachings, without compromising your faith. The holidays can bring all the feels: joy, nostalgia, awkwardness, and sometimes major family drama. But how do we handle those moments with grace?
Catch the whole hour here!
The Setup:
Timmerie starts it off by acknowledging that the holidays are a time for lights, generosity, and family… but also a minefield of tension. Think: judgment, unresolved debates, and that one uncle’s political hot takes.
Oh, and don’t forget the moral dilemmas: How do you love and welcome family living in “alternative lifestyles” while staying rooted in Catholic truth? (There's that inner conflict: "Am I endorsing this if I don’t say something?")
The Model: Jesus at the Table
Michael reminds us how Jesus set the ultimate example: He ate with sinners and tax collectors, shocking society. His approach? Radical love for the person without compromising the truth. It's about seeing the God-given dignity in everyone, even when their choices don’t align with Church teaching.
Key Takeaways for the Christmas Season:
Welcome Without Approval:
Inviting someone into your home doesn’t mean endorsing their choices. Timmerie shares a personal example of growing up in a home where everyone was welcome, including family in same-sex relationships. Yet it was clear their lifestyle wasn’t approved.
Kids can learn this balance, too! Loving others doesn’t have to mean moral confusion.
True Compassion vs. Fearful Compassion:
Father Jacques Philippe's wisdom: True compassion trusts that God loves your loved ones more than you do. Acting out of fear: approving harmful choices just to avoid conflict, ends up causing more harm. Trust in God’s plan!
Be a Witness of Love and Joy:
Sometimes, the most powerful witness isn’t what you say, but how you live. Create a home full of peace, generosity, and hospitality. Let your actions reflect Christ’s love.
Know When to Speak and When to Wait:
Not every moment is the right moment for a “come-to-Jesus” talk. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you on when to speak truth, or when just showing love is enough for now. Patience is key.
Protect Young Hearts Prudently:
When kids are involved, discernment is extra important. If a family member’s behavior crosses respectful boundaries, it’s okay to set limits to protect your children while still showing love to all.
The Bigger Picture: Delight in Others
Michael emphasizes the power of delighting in others: not in their choices, but in their God-given goodness. People are transformed by love, not by condemnation. As Timmerie says, being loved and welcomed can open hearts in ways debates never will.
Final Thoughts: Love Transforms
This Christmas, be bold in love and truth. Remember, welcoming someone doesn’t mean you’re compromising your faith: it’s about reflecting God’s love. With prayer, discernment, and hospitality, your home can be a place of joy that points others to Christ.
PSA: Prepare yourself for that awkward family moment with prayer… and maybe pie. Always pie.

Timmerie and pro-matchmaker Cristina Pineda talk about a pretty relevant topic in the dating world: how important is physical attraction in a relationship? This episode starts with a story of a woman highlighted in an online column who found her "perfect guy": except she doesn’t find him attractive. Is it worth sticking it out, or is it time to swipe left?
Here’s what Timmerie and Cristina unpacked about the role of attraction in relationships:
Reality Check on “Perfect Looks”
We all carry ideas from our younger years (thanks, Hollywood) of what we think our “type” should look like: often unrealistically perfect. But as people age, real qualities like kindness, reliability, and faith become way more important than abs or a square jawline. Cristina pointed out how clients of hers are shifting their priorities too, favoring qualities like intelligence and stability over flawless looks.
Looks Aren’t the Whole Picture
Cristina shares that attraction can grow with time. When a person’s character aligns with your values: like wanting marriage, kids, or faith alignment, looks start to matter less. Plus, they discuss “SRS” (Sudden Repulsion Syndrome): if you hit that level of disgust, okay, time to reconsider. But if things line up on core values and you enjoy their company, keep going!
Don’t Let Outsiders Mess with Your Heart
Timmerie and Cristina raise a solid point: loved ones need to butt out when it comes to commenting on your partner's appearance. Even “harmless” comments like, “Really? Him?” can make someone second-guess. Whether it’s an innocent family comment or that friend who thinks she’s being “helpful,” those remarks can stick and undermine what’s otherwise a good thing.
Advice for Singles: Don’t Settle on What Matters
Don’t compromise on deal-breakers like shared values, faith, and character, but don’t be too quick to dismiss someone who’s kind and shares your faith. Give it time to see if that spark grows! And if you're struggling with outsider opinions or doubts, bring it to prayer and stay focused on what really matters in a relationship.
TL;DR
Looks fade, but a good person’s heart and character stay strong. If someone treats you well and has the qualities you want in a spouse, keep giving them a chance. Focus on the lasting qualities, not just the immediate attraction.

It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

If you’re looking for a saint who didn’t just walk the talk but ran, skipped, and danced it while juggling a stethoscope and a bunch of kids: meet St. Gianna Molla. This woman’s life was like a rollercoaster of faith, medicine, love, and one heart-wrenching sacrifice. Grab a tissue. Timmerie's here to tell you all about her!
Doctor with a Dream
Gianna was a pediatrician in Italy, totally committed to helping others through her medical career. She even planned a big trip to Brazil to do medical missionary work, leaving her thriving practice behind. But then...curveball! She got sick right before the trip and never made it to Brazil. Suddenly, she had to rethink her whole life plan. Ever been there?
Single, 30s, and Wondering
Now, imagine Gianna in her 30s, single, and watching her friends get married left and right. She was asking God some big questions, trying to figure out her vocation. She believed everyone had a unique calling, and it wasn’t just about religious life. She wanted to know what God wanted for her life, and spoiler alert: He had some big plans.
Finally, in 1955, along came Pietro, the man who would become her husband. They got married, had three kids, and she was balancing life as a full-time doctor with her husband often on the road. She loved her work, but she and Pietro had to keep figuring out how to juggle it all.
A Heartbreaking Choice
Now, after her third child, Gianna found out she was pregnant again, but she also had a tumor in her uterus. The doctors basically gave her three choices: 1) Have an abortion to save herself, 2) have a hysterectomy (which would mean the baby wouldn’t survive), or 3) try to remove the tumor and risk it all. St. Gianna didn’t flinch. She was all in for her baby. She went with the riskiest option, hoping to protect her child even if it meant risking her own life.
The surgery worked, and she carried her baby all the way to term. But right after her daughter Gianna Emanuela Molla was born, complications from the C-section led to sepsis. In her final days, Gianna refused pain meds because she wanted to be fully present with her family. Her last words to her sister? A reminder that so many of the things we stress over in life just don’t matter when we face eternity. 🕊️
Why We Love Her
Timmerie reminds you that St. Gianna wasn’t canonized because she was a doctor or because she had a thriving career: she’s a saint because of her wildly sacrificial love and unbreakable faith. Her story hits so close to home for anyone who feels the tug between work, family, and what it means to be true to our calling. If you’re wrestling with that balance, struggling with the pressure to “do it all,” or just want a fierce intercessor, St. Gianna is your girl.
St. Gianna didn’t just say “yes” to life; she said “yes” to all the messy, hard, beautiful, sacrificial parts of it. And in today’s world, we need that reminder that life and love is worth every ounce of risk. If you need someone to walk with you in figuring out your own balance, she’s here.

What medical aftermath do we know occurs for minors who have been transitioned? (1:34) What anticipated influence will President Trump’s administration have on medical policy over gender?

Catechism of the Catholic Church onHope
1817 Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ's promises and relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit. "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful."84 "The Holy Spirit . . . he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life."85
1818 The virtue of hope responds to the aspiration to happiness which God has placed in the heart of every man; it takes up the hopes that inspire men's activities and purifies them so as to order them to the Kingdom of heaven; it keeps man from discouragement; it sustains him during times of abandonment; it opens up his heart in expectation of eternal beatitude. Buoyed up by hope, he is preserved from selfishness and led to the happiness that flows from charity.
1819 Christian hope takes up and fulfills the hope of the chosen people which has its origin and model in the hope of Abraham, who was blessed abundantly by the promises of God fulfilled in Isaac, and who was purified by the test of the sacrifice.86 "Hoping against hope, he believed, and thus became the father of many nations."87
1820 Christian hope unfolds from the beginning of Jesus' preaching in the proclamation of the beatitudes. The beatitudes raise our hope toward heaven as the new Promised Land; they trace the path that leads through the trials that await the disciples of Jesus. But through the merits of Jesus Christ and of his Passion, God keeps us in the "hope that does not disappoint."88 Hope is the "sure and steadfast anchor of the soul . . . that enters . . . where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf."89 Hope is also a weapon that protects us in the struggle of salvation: "Let us . . . put on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet the hope of salvation."90 It affords us joy even under trial: "Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation."91 Hope is expressed and nourished in prayer, especially in the Our Father, the summary of everything that hope leads us to desire.
1821 We can therefore hope in the glory of heaven promised by God to those who love him and do his will.92 In every circumstance, each one of us should hope, with the grace of God, to persevere "to the end"93 and to obtain the joy of heaven, as God's eternal reward for the good works accomplished with the grace of Christ. In hope, the Church prays for "all men to be saved."94 She longs to be united with Christ, her Bridegroom, in the glory of heaven:
Hope, O my soul, hope. You know neither the day nor the hour. Watch carefully, for everything passes quickly, even though your impatience makes doubtful what is certain, and turns a very short time into a long one. Dream that the more you struggle, the more you prove the love that you bear your God, and the more you will rejoice one day with your Beloved, in a happiness and rapture that can never end.95

Timmerie talks to Nir Eyal, author of Indistractable, to uncover how we can actually make time for the things we care about most. Nir drops a huge insight here: the opposite of distraction isn’t focus, it’s traction. Yep, traction: as in taking deliberate steps toward what we truly value instead of letting distractions pull us away.
Here’s the formula:
Define Traction: Nir argues you can’t really say you’re “distracted” if you haven’t figured out what you’re supposed to be focused on! He suggests using a “time-boxing” method. Think of it as a calendar where you schedule what matters: prayer, family time, exercise, reading, or whatever lights you up. This keeps you on “traction” instead of drifting toward distractions.
Turn Values into Time: If you value it, block out time for it. Nir makes a distinction here: values aren’t what you own or like; they’re qualities of the person you want to become. So, do your values show up on your schedule? This simple tweak shifts your day from “oh, I’ll get to it” to actually living out what you believe in.
Tackle Internal Triggers: Here’s a shocker: 90% of distractions come from within! Most of us blame pings, emails, or demands from others, but Nir says it’s our internal feelings, like boredom, anxiety, or fatigue, that often send us scrolling social media or zoning out. To counter it, Nir says to stop and ask, “What emotion am I trying to avoid right now?” Learning to manage these feelings is the secret sauce to staying in traction.
Conquer the “What If” Mentality: Nir’s advice: quit living in the “what if” panic zone! FOMO keeps us glued to our phones, even in moments that should be sacred (think bedtime, prayer, or family dinner). Instead, turn off the phone, unplug, and trust that life will still go on.
For all you multi-tasking heroes out there, Nir’s example of an executive who constantly checked his email, fearing urgent interruptions, is a wake-up call. After hiring an assistant to filter these “urgent” requests, the businessman discovered that most interruptions weren’t actually urgent at all! His real distraction came from his own mental habit of checking.
Nir’s book Indistractable has loads of tips for students, parents, and anyone else who wants to get serious about staying on task. So, what are you waiting for? Set those values on your calendar and get ready to spend more time on what truly matters!

Can narcissists actually change? You know, it seems like everyone these days is quick to label difficult people as narcissists, like it’s the ultimate insult. Can people who are self-centered and walk all over others actually turn it around?
Timmerie totally pushes back against the idea that narcissists can’t change (even though some therapists, Catholic and secular alike, say otherwise). She believes, and I think we’d agree, that with God's grace, anyone can change! After all, our faith is built on the idea that transformation is possible through the sacraments and God’s love. Just look at saints like St. Augustine or St. Francis of Assisi. They didn’t exactly start off with halos!
Enter Bree Solstad, a living example of this transformation. Bree opens up about her own story, admitting she was once the textbook definition of a narcissist. She was crushing it financially, making insane amounts of money (like $100,000 a day), but it came at the cost of stepping on others to get what she wanted. It wasn’t until she encountered God’s grace that everything changed. And now? She's a Catholic convert and says her old narcissistic self is practically unrecognizable
Bree mentions the difference between being egotistical (all about me, me, me) and being a true narcissist (me + stepping on others). And while some therapists say narcissists are a lost cause, Bree’s story shows just the opposite. God’s grace is real! She explains how her husband’s prayers, gentle nudges toward Catholicism, and seeing joyful, humble role models like nuns helped pull her out of her self-absorbed spiral.
So, what’s Bree’s advice for anyone dealing with a narcissist in their life? Don’t be an enabler. Stand up (lovingly) and hold them accountable. Of course, pray for them. Because as Bree says, if she could change, there’s hope for anyone.
No one is beyond God’s transformative power, no matter how deep they are in their own ego.

So, Timmerie’s talking all about the Cass Report: you know, that massive study from the UK that’s got everyone rethinking the benefit of gender transitions for kids. She brings on Dr. Theresa Farnan, who’s a moral philosopher and all-around expert on this stuff, to explain it for us.
The Big Deal:
The Cass Report is 366 pages of hardcore data that says, basically: there’s NO benefit to transitioning kids: none! Whether it’s puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or full-on surgeries, this report shows it’s not helping minors and, in fact, could be doing some serious harm. This study is based on a four-year, international review. It's the real deal.
What’s the Drama in the UK?
Doctors in the UK are fuming. Their medical leadership came out in support of transitioning, but a bunch of doctors said, "Nope!" and even quit over it. The review showed that these gender clinics were a mess, and kids weren’t thriving; they were actually doing worse.
Key Findings
Long-term follow-up: In the UK, they track people’s health long-term, so they saw how bad things got. Kids who were transitioned weren’t just unhappy; they were struggling even more.
Kiera Bell’s lawsuit: Kiera, a detransitioner, sued after having a double mastectomy as a minor. She basically said, "I needed mental health support, not surgery." Even though she lost her case, her bravery triggered this whole review.
Kids are falling behind: When kids go on puberty blockers, they don’t just delay puberty; they’re left behind developmentally, socially, even intellectually. One study showed a kid’s IQ dropped after being put on blockers. Yeah, no one’s talking about that!
No evidence, all harm: The report found zero proof that transitioning helps kids. And get this: they called social transitioning (like letting kids live as the opposite gender) a "psychosocial intervention" -fancy talk for saying it’s messing with their heads.
Why is the US So Behind?
While other countries like the UK are saying "enough is enough" with these gender transitions, the US is still lagging. Timmerie and Dr. Farnan point out that we're just not keeping up with the latest data, and it’s hurting kids.
Dr. Farnan says that the Cass Report is the new gold standard for showing how dangerous and misguided these treatments can be. It’s not just a moral argument: the science backs it up, too.
Okay; this episode of Trending with Timmerie is one of those "wow, did that really happen?" moments. Timmerie is talking about Our Lady of La Leche, otherwise known as "Our Lady of the Milk." Our Lady under this title has brought about miracle babies for couples dealing with infertility.
First off, October 11th is her feast day, and the devotion to her dates way back to the 16th century, when Spanish settlers brought it over to the U.S. (specifically St. Augustine, Florida). Our Lady of La Leche has been the go-to intercessor for couples struggling to conceive or hoping for a safe delivery.
One of the wildest stories Timmerie shares is how the devotion even started. There’s this man in Spain, right? His wife is pregnant, but it’s looking really bad. He finds some kids tossing a statue of Mary nursing baby Jesus around like it’s a toy, rescues it, brings it home, and just starts praying like crazy. Both his wife and baby survive, and just like that, a whole devotion to Our Lady of La Leche is born.
Fast forward to today, and Timmerie tells the story of Walker Larson and his wife, who were both dealing with infertility. A priest told them about Our Lady of La Leche and suggested visiting her shrine in St. Augustine, Florida. They did, prayed for a miracle... and a few months later, they were PREGNANT!
While praying, they also discovered a natural remedy called maca. This root has been used since forever to help with fertility.
Our Lady of La Leche has been interceding for centuries, helping couples overcome infertility through prayer. If you or someone you know is struggling with infertility, why not ask for her intercession?

Okay, here’s what you need to know from Trending with Timmerie about guardian angels that might just blow your mind. Sure, we often think of our guardian angels as these protective figures keeping us from car crashes or other mishaps, but they do so much more!
First off, angels are pure spirit: no bodies, but they can still interact with the material world. Their main mission? To help guide us spiritually, keeping us focused on God and resisting temptation. Timmerie reminds us that they’re constantly in the presence of God, gazing at His face, which is pretty amazing.
Fun fact: Angels are actually fascinated by the Incarnation (when Jesus became human). They don’t get to receive Jesus in the Eucharist like we do, but they’re with us in spirit when we receive Holy Communion. Invite your guardian angel to be present during Mass next time!
Guardian angels don’t just protect us physically; they help us in spiritual battles. They inspire us to grow in virtue, resist temptation, and even engage in asceticism (self-denial) to train our desires and keep them in check. Whether it’s skipping that dessert or holding back a rude comment, your angel is there, nudging you to say “no” for your own good.
Your angel is also battling against fallen angels (yes, demons!) who try to manipulate us away from God. It's an epic spiritual war, and our angels are front-line defenders!
Stay close to your guardian angel by praying the simple yet powerful "Angel of God" prayer. They’re our partners in the spiritual journey, helping us grow holier every day!
Ready to call on your angel more often?

In this powerful episode of Trending with Timmerie, she sits down with Dr. Christina Francis, a pro-life OB-GYN and CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Together, they uncover the heartbreaking reality of chemical abortions, a procedure that now accounts for nearly 70% of all abortions in the U.S.
You can hear more of the conversation here, which may not be suitable for sensitive ears.
Chemical abortion isn’t as “simple” or “safe” as the abortion industry claims. Dr. Francis walks us through the harsh truth: women are often handed two sets of pills (mifepristone and misoprostol), with no doctor in sight and little understanding of the trauma and risks they’re about to face. It’s devastating. 😢
Here’s what really happens:
The first pill, mifepristone, cuts off nutrients to the baby by blocking progesterone, causing the baby’s death.
The second pill, misoprostol, forces the body into labor, which means women experience severe pain and heavy bleeding, often delivering their deceased baby at home... alone, confused, and emotionally devastated.
It’s shocking that women, especially young college girls, are told by the abortion industry that this is “just like taking Tylenol.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Many women experience intense mental anguish after seeing their tiny baby, sometimes still moving, between the sheets of their bed or dorm room. 💔 These are real, living babies. The horror of delivering them in such a way leaves a lasting impact on these women’s lives: emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
The damage isn’t just emotional. The physical dangers are real, too:
Heavy bleeding
Risk of incomplete abortions (which happens in 10% of cases, requiring surgery)
Infection and hemorrhaging
Increased risk of needing blood transfusions
No access to a doctor when complications arise
Dr. Francis emphasizes that women are being abandoned by the medical system. There’s no relationship with a physician; they’re left alone to figure out how sick is too sick or when they’re bleeding too much. It’s heartbreaking negligence. These women, who are already in pain and emotional turmoil, feel shame, guilt, and even believe they deserve this suffering because of what they’ve done.
Timmerie and Dr. Francis bring it all back to what truly matters: life and dignity for both the woman and her baby. The real pro-woman position is the pro-life position: supporting women before, during, and after pregnancy, and offering real help, not abandonment.
Women deserve so much better than this. 🕊 Let’s continue to stand for life, offer compassion, and shine a light on the truth. Every life matters, and every woman deserves the full support she needs to choose life, not a path of pain and regret.

2333 Everyone, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual identity. Physical, moral, and spiritual difference and complementarity are oriented toward the goods of marriage and the flourishing of family life. The harmony of the couple and of society depends in part on the way in which the complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are lived out.

Chastity and homosexuality
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. It psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity (Cf. Genesis 19:1-29; Romans 1:24-27; 1 Corinthians 6:10; 1 Timothy 1:10), tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.” (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Persona humana, 8). They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. They do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them their inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection

Are you unhappy? What's causing this sense of dissatisfaction?
Timmerie is hitting on a topic that might resonate with you—whether you're married, single, a parent, or not.
Why are women unhappy?
Timmerie has a theory, and she’s about to clue you in. She explains that there’s been a coordinated effort to undermine women’s happiness. Yes, really. It’s not just a conspiracy theory—statistics back it up. She points out that 60 years ago, women were generally much happier and more satisfied. More people were married, more people had children, and fewer women were in the workforce.
These days, women have all this supposed "freedom." Yet, we can see that abortion, contraception, and no-fault divorce has made things way worse.
Here’s what she thinks is going on:
First, there’s this relentless competition with men—"Anything you can do, I can do better." Women are constantly being pitted against men, and not just in the workplace. Then there’s the narrative that men can’t do anything right. You hear it all the time: “He can’t watch the kids without messing it up,” or “He’ll only eat takeout if I’m not around.”
Timmerie is quick to point out that men and women are just different. Instead of accepting and celebrating these differences, society has created this toxic mentality that men are incompetent and that women have to prove they can do everything better.
Here’s the wild part:
Timmerie explains that this all ties back to the feminist movement, which has roots in communist ideology. The goal was (and still is) to drive a wedge between men and women. This wedge has been driven so deep that it’s affecting relationships even before people consider marriage. Women are now trapped in what Timmerie calls a "spirit of perpetual dissatisfaction." Nothing is ever good enough.
Sound familiar?
Timmerie points out that this constant dissatisfaction is exhausting. It’s not just about wanting more; it’s about believing that women are oppressed or victimized—by men, by society, by everything.
But wait, it gets even stranger...
Timmerie brings up the concept of “consciousness raising,” which was a big part of second-wave feminism in the 1960s. Small groups of women would gather to talk about how they were being oppressed, and this mentality would build up over time. The idea was to make women feel like victims, so they’d get politically involved and "fight back."
Fast forward to today, and this mindset is still alive and well. Timmerie sees it everywhere—from casual conversations to social media. It’s like a contest to see whose husband is the most clueless.
"My husband can’t even wash a dish. He only eats takeout when I’m gone. He spends all our money!" And people nod along, as if being married is some kind of oppression. The advice from friends? “You’re a superwoman—you don’t need him. Just leave!”
But here’s what Timmerie says we’re missing:
Men and women are different, and that’s a good thing! Maybe he doesn’t clean the house the way you would, but that doesn’t make him useless. Maybe he works long hours and doesn’t help as much with the kids. Does that mean the marriage is doomed? Absolutely not! According to Timmerie, relationships require sacrifice, patience, and above all—love.
The solution, according to Timmerie?
We need to stop feeding into this toxic mindset that women are always oppressed and that men are always the enemy. Timmerie encourages us to embrace the beauty of sacrifice—something that’s central to our Catholic faith. Sacrifice isn’t about being a doormat; it’s about choosing to love, even when it’s difficult. It means putting your spouse first, not because you’re oppressed, but because you choose to love them.
Timmerie emphasizes that marriages don’t fall apart over dirty dishes or takeout dinners. They fall apart when couples stop choosing each other—when they stop making time for one another. It’s easy to let life get in the way and become “two ships passing in the night,” but it doesn’t have to be that way.
So how do we fix this?
Confession is key. Timmerie stresses the importance of confession as a way to receive Christ's forgiveness whenever we need it.
Find a community. Surround yourself with people who share your values—couples who are striving to make things work and won’t just point fingers.
Ditch the competition. Timmerie says it’s time to let go of the “anything you can do, I can do better” mentality. Men and women are meant to complement each other, not compete with each other.
At the end of the day, Timmerie believes true happiness isn’t found in trying to outdo men or in rejecting the things that make women unique. It’s found in embracing the vocation that God has given us, with love and sacrifice at the center. That’s where we’ll find peace, joy, and real fulfillment.
So, as Timmerie puts it: It’s time to stop chasing the false gospel of dissatisfaction. Let’s reclaim true joy, rooted in our faith, our families, and the beautiful roles God has given us. Ladies, you’ve got this!

On Trending with Timmerie, Timmerie shared a pretty shocking story about Rocky legend, Sylvester Stallone. Turns out, his mom actually tried to abort him! Let that sink in for a moment. It’s a heartbreaking testimony, especially when you think about who Stallone is today, and it was especially powerful for Timmerie because of an encounter she had with him years ago. She shares some reflections below, and some of the content may not be suitable for sensitive ears.
Flashback to 10-15 years ago—Timmerie was doing some pro-life work in Beverly Hills. Suddenly, this car pulls up, and who steps out? Sylvester Stallone! He didn’t say anything, but he looked at them, smiled, and gave them a thumbs up. Timmerie learned through that encounter that he was pro-life. This story makes Sylvester's revelation all the more inspirational.
So, Stallone was on his daughters’ podcast, and he opened up about his rough childhood. His mom, Jackie, had a really traumatic upbringing—she grew up in a super abusive orphanage and was just never able to show love or even handle being touched. Because of all the hurt she carried, she tried multiple times to end her pregnancy with Stallone. But he made it through—talk about a miracle, right?
What’s really sad is that Stallone grew up thinking that avoiding physical touch was normal because of how distant his mom was. It wasn’t until much later in life that he realized how much it all affected him. But here's the thing—after being away from the Catholic Church for years, Stallone found his way back when his daughter was born with health issues. Timmerie explains that he surrendered, and his faith became his anchor.
This isn't just a Hollywood star’s story. It’s the reality that so many people face—being unwanted, and maybe you can relate to this. It might be difficult to deal with whatever your current situation is, but God can help you. Your faith can transform even the darkest, most broken situations. God heals us in ways that defy our understanding.
Stallone’s story shows us that no matter how wounded we are, there’s always hope. We can find forgiveness, healing, and redemption through Christ, no matter the struggles or scars we carry.

If you're feeling the weight of being single in your late 20s or 30s, you're definitely not alone. Timmerie dives deep into the frustrations of "chronically single" folks who are tired of hearing the same old advice.
But here's the good stuff: Timmerie gathered wisdom from people who finally met their spouses after 30. These stories are like a warm hug for anyone feeling discouraged.
Top Tips:
Take Breaks: Dating burnout is real. One woman said it's crucial to take breaks so you can put your best foot forward when you're ready to date again.
Treat It Like a Goal: Want to get married? Approach it like any other goal—keep at it, even if it's exhausting.
Trust in God: This one came up a lot. Trust that God's timing is better than yours. It might not make sense now, but it will.
Focus on Virtue: One guy admitted he was single because he was a coward and insecure. His advice? Grow in virtue and faith. It changes everything.
Be Chaste: A woman shared how her lack of chastity in her 20s and 30s made things harder. Staying chaste helps you evaluate relationships more clearly and avoid unnecessary heartache.
Some advice hit home hard, like the woman who said, "Don't spend your 20s only focusing on your career." She found that by the time she was ready to date seriously, the pool of eligible men had shrunk—and many were intimidated by her achievements.
But it's not all doom and gloom. One woman shared how she met her husband in a totally unexpected way—God "tricked" her by lowering her defenses. Now, they're proud grandparents! It's a beautiful reminder that it's never too late for love, and God’s plan is always better, even if it doesn’t fit our timeline.
So, if you’re single and struggling, take heart. These stories are full of hope and proof that your story isn’t over yet. Trust, pray, and know that you’re not alone in this journey. God’s got you!

In this episode of Trending with Timmerie, we hear the incredible story of Sara Huff, one of Brazil's most influential feminist leaders—now a devout pro-life Catholic. Her journey from the heart of radical feminism to embracing Catholic faith and traditional family values is nothing short of awe-inspiring. It's a reminder for you to keep praying for your loved ones who are impacted by the feminist ideology.
Sara shares how she was deeply entrenched in the feminist movement, even trained by former KGB agents to subvert faith-based values. Pretty intense. She was leading the charge for abortion rights in Brazil when life threw her a curveball: she got pregnant. Her feminist peers pushed her to have an abortion, convincing her it would be a powerful statement for their cause. What followed was a nightmare—excruciating pain, trauma, and the horrifying realization that she had ended her own child’s life.
But in her darkest hour, a Catholic neighbor she once despised came to her rescue, literally saving her life and leading her toward a new path. This turning point helped her see the emptiness of the feminist ideology she once championed. Sara now advocates for true femininity, rooted in faith and the sanctity of life.
Her story is a powerful reminder that being a good Catholic is what matters—we don't need to cling to harmful ideologies to do good in the world. Sara's testimony is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the reality behind radical feminism and the transformative power of God's grace.

In this episode of Trending with Timmerie, Timmerie sits down with Dr. John Di Camillo from the National Catholic Bioethics Center to tackle a tough, emotional, and deeply ethical question: What do you do if you've repented from using IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) and now have frozen embryos?
First, Why Is IVF a Problem? Timmerie briefly recaps why the Church opposes IVF. The main issue? IVF bypasses the sacredness of life created through the marital act, introduces potential abortions through "selective reduction," and often results in children never knowing their biological parents.
Okay, So What About Those Frozen Embryos? This is where it gets really tricky. Dr. Di Camillo explains that the Church sees this situation as one of deep injustice—one that doesn't have a clear-cut solution. He admits it's a struggle, both for the parents and the ethicists advising them. The Church has outlined what cannot be done, such as:
Using the embryos for research or experimentation - (they're not "material").
Discarding the embryos carelessly (e.g., down the drain).
Using surrogates to gestate these embryos (another big no-no).
But What Can Be Done? Dr. Di Camillo brings up a few options that, while not definitively endorsed by the Church, haven't been ruled out either:
Thawing the embryos with the view that cryopreservation might be an extraordinary means of care, followed by a respectful burial.
Prenatal adoption, where a non-infertile couple might gestate and raise the child—not as a treatment for infertility, but to save the child's life.
Gestating the child themselves (if it's their biological child), thus giving their own child a chance to be born and raised within their marriage.
Timmerie and Dr. Di Camillo remind us that none of these options are easy, and none are perfect solutions. But they are ways to approach an incredibly challenging situation with as much moral clarity as possible.
Final Thoughts The Church urges us to adhere to God’s plan for creating life within marriage. When we try to "play God," we often end up in heartbreaking dilemmas like this. The key takeaway? Support your loved ones struggling with infertility by guiding them toward ethical solutions and remaining steadfast in your faith.
For more insights or to seek personal advice, Dr. Di Camillo and his team can be reached through the National Catholic Bioethics Center.

Did you catch the latest buzz around the film It Ends With Us? Whether you've read the book or not, there's a lot more beneath the surface than just another romance flick. Directed by Justin Baldoni and starring Blake Lively, this movie looks into the gritty reality of domestic violence—a subject that hits close to home for many. The film is not suitable for sensitive eyes.
A Controversial Take on a Serious Issue
The film has stirred up quite the controversy. Some moviegoers were caught off guard by the heavy themes of abuse, especially since the marketing leaned more on the romantic angle. This led to a lot of backlash, with many feeling "triggered" by the film's portrayal of domestic violence. However, Justin Baldoni took a different route, choosing not to join the red carpet frenzy. Instead, he emphasized that this film is for the women who have suffered from domestic violence, making it clear that the message is what matters most.
Breaking the Cycle of Abuse
The movie and the book it's based on explore the heartbreaking challenge of recognizing and escaping from an abusive relationship. For many women, the courage to leave often comes when they have someone else to protect—like a child. But it's not just about bravery; it's about the tangled web of emotional and chemical bonds that make it so difficult to walk away.
The Catholic Perspective: Why This Matters
There's often a deeper root to the problems we face in our culture. Timmerie reminds us that our culture today has distorted the purpose of intimacy, taking it out of the sacred context of marriage. This distortion leads to confusion, making it harder for women to see their partners for who they truly are.
In this society, we've lost sight of the value of real, committed love—the kind that is nurtured within marriage. Saving sex for marriage isn't just a rule; it's a safeguard. It's about truly knowing and loving someone before making that deep connection, which in turn helps us avoid the traps of unhealthy relationships.
Moving Forward with Hope
It Ends With Us is a reminder that the cycle of abuse can be broken. It’s a call to seek relationships built on love, respect, and the teachings of our faith. And if you're facing such struggles, remember that help is available. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is 800-799-SAFE.
Let's End It with Us.
Be sure to pray for those who feel like there's no way out of an abusive relationship. By living out our faith in every aspect of our relationships, we can contribute to ending domestic violence and fostering true love. Let's make sure It Ends With Us.

Timmerie talks about St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, who most of us know as St. Edith Stein. Her story is nothing short of amazing, taking her from atheism all the way to sainthood. Talk about a transformation!
🌿 The Journey of a Lifetime 🌿
Edith Stein started life in a Jewish family. As she grew up, she went through a phase where she lost her faith entirely and became an atheist. Can you imagine that? But Edith was a thinker—a real philosopher at heart. Her search for the truth eventually led her to Catholicism. One of the pivotal moments in her journey was reading the works of St. Teresa of Ávila, which profoundly moved her and guided her to the Catholic faith. She didn’t just stop there; she went all in and joined the Carmelite Order along with her sister. How incredible is that?
📚 A Philosopher and Pioneer 📚
St. Edith Stein wasn't just any nun; she was a brilliant philosopher. She wrote extensively about women, their education, and their roles in the workplace and society. Her essays dive deep into the soul of a woman and the unique differences between men and women. If you haven’t read her work, you’re missing out on some profound insights.
✝️ Embracing the Cross ✝️
One of the most powerful concepts from St. Edith’s teachings is what she called the "science of the cross." She believed that part of our mission as Christians is to be "fastened to the cross" with Christ. She didn’t just talk the talk; she walked the walk. Her journey led her to the ultimate sacrifice—she died in Auschwitz during World War II, a fate she faced with unwavering faith.
Her writings are a treasure trove of wisdom. One striking quote from her is: "The path to glory leads through suffering and the cross for everyone." It’s a reminder that our faith journey isn’t always easy, but it's incredibly rewarding.
🌸 Living the Faith, Day by Day 🌸
Edith’s life teaches us that loving others is a true measure of our love for God. She said, "Our love of human beings is the measure of our love of God." It’s easy to love in the good times, but real love shines through during the challenges.
So, if you're ever feeling overwhelmed by your own cross, remember St. Edith Stein. Her life is a testament to the joy and fulfillment that come from embracing our faith fully, even in the face of suffering.
Let's be inspired by her example. Dive into her writings, let her thoughts stir your heart, and most importantly, embrace your own journey with the same courage and faith. 🌟

Feminism doesn't affect you in any way, right? Well, maybe it does, in a sneaky sort of way.
Timmerie recently had a great conversation with Dr. Carrie Gress, author of The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Destroyed Us. Together, they explored a critical question: How do we combat modern feminism from within? Some content may not be suitable for all listeners.
Key Points from the Podcast:
Unmasking Feminism's Anti-Catholic Roots: Timmerie and Dr. Gress reveal that many feminist icons held anti-Catholic views, with some even dabbling in Satanism, Wicca, and witchcraft. Scary! Feminism's stance often clashes with the Church's teachings on abortion, marriage, and gender. It's concerning to really consider the impact feminism has had on society, and it affects women in many subtle ways.
Feminism's Cultural Impact: The influence of feminism permeates our culture, affecting everything from media and education to norms within marriages. It's everywhere and it's so hard to get away from! This can really mess up relationships with your spouse and children, promoting a "no-contact" culture devoid of responsibility and connection.
The Anti-Mary Exposed: Dr. Gress' previous works, including The Anti-Mary Exposed, show how the virtues of Our Lady are so different from modern feminist ideals. Our Lady is all about humility, wisdom, and grace—qualities often rejected by contemporary culture.
Feminism and Family Dynamics: It's sad how feminism encourages women to treat their husbands like children, making it all about control and dominance. This undermines the natural, respectful partnership intended in marriage.
Looking to Our Lady: Our Lady is the ultimate model for women, embodying virtues that challenge the feminist narrative. She's the one that women should aspire to be.
Finding Role Models: Finding modern role models who live out these virtues is key. These women, whether in daily life or historical figures like St. Edith Stein, can guide our society toward a more fulfilling, faith-aligned existence.
Action Steps:
Reflect on Our Lady's Virtues: Compare your life and choices to the virtues of Our Lady. Are there areas influenced by feminist ideals that need to change?
Seek Wisdom and Grace: Embrace practices like silent prayer to open yourself to God’s graces, allowing His wisdom to guide your actions and relationships.
Read and Learn: Explore Dr. Gress' works such as The End of Woman and Theology of Home series to deepen your understanding and find practical ways to integrate these insights into your daily life.
Final Thought: True fulfillment for women lies not in the aggressive, control-driven feminism promoted by modern culture, but in embracing the virtues and wisdom exemplified by Our Lady. Rediscover and champion your God-given identity!

Timmerie was super pumped on Friday. With a weekend ahead, she was all set to cozy up on the couch and watch the Olympic opening ceremony live. It's been ages since she could watch the whole thing in one go, and boy, was she excited! Instead, she was treated to something really different. Here's the commentary, which some listeners may not find suitable for their children:
The Cloaked Confusion: So, the ceremony kicks off, and immediately, it’s like, "What is happening?" There's this hooded figure in a fencing mask – talk about creepy! Where’s the tradition? The honor? The torchbearer is supposed to symbolize peace and unity, right? Instead, it felt like a scene straight out of a Batman movie.
Hollywood Overload: Then, NBC decides it's a good idea to focus more on Hollywood stars like Elon Musk and Tom Cruise rather than the athletes who have worked so hard to get there. Even Lady Gaga’s performance felt off, filled with CGI and pre-recorded content, which just killed the live event feel.
Bizarre Themes and Inappropriate Content: The ceremony's themes were puzzling and not family friendly. Imagine kids watching this at 8:30 PM! It felt so out of place for such a historic and international event.
Mockery of the Sacred: One of the most offensive parts was the mockery of the Last Supper with trans activists and drag performers. In a country with such a rich Catholic heritage, this was deeply disrespectful. Adding to the oddity, there was a massive power outage in Paris afterward, with only the Sacré Cœur Cathedral illuminated – almost like a sign.
Lost French Culture: Timmerie was saddened by the lack of authentic French culture, art, and athleticism. Instead, viewers got mediocre dance performances. She believes that a fashion show would have been a better representation of French elegance.
Call for Reparation: In response to this blatant blasphemy in the opening ceremony, U.S. bishops called for reparation. Bishop Andrew Cousins urged the faithful to attend daily Mass or make a holy hour to atone for these offenses.
Why do all feminists seem to become anti-Catholic? (2:32) How do we combat the modern feminist within? (26:00) France no longer has a culture. Why the Olympic opening ceremony was terrible and Christ was mocked. (41:06)

Have you ever heard of Safe Haven Laws or Safe Haven Baby Boxes? If not, let's fill you in because these are lifesavers—literally.
These laws are in place in every state across the U.S. and they allow new moms who feel overwhelmed or unable to care for their newborns to surrender them safely and anonymously. This ensures that the babies are cared for without any legal repercussions for the mothers.
Why Are These Laws Important? Pam Stenzel, who joined Timmerie on Trending with Timmerie, shares heartbreaking stories about mothers who felt they had no choice but to abandon their babies in unsafe places. Just recently in Louisville, a 22-year-old mother abandoned her baby, who was tragically found dead. These stories break your heart and bring to mind the desperate need for awareness and use of Safe Haven laws.
How Do Safe Haven Baby Boxes Work? Pam explains that a mother can safely and anonymously place her baby in a specially designed baby box, typically located at fire stations. When the box is used, it triggers a 911 call, ensuring the baby is quickly retrieved and taken to a hospital for care. This system provides a secure and anonymous way for mothers to surrender their babies without facing judgment or legal issues.
Pam shared an inspiring story about how the concept of baby boxes was born. While on a trip to South Africa, she and Monica Kelsey saw a "baby safe" at a church. Inspired, Monica brought this idea back to the U.S. and created Safe Haven Baby Boxes, helping mothers and saving babies' lives.
What Happens After a Baby is Surrendered? After a baby is surrendered, they receive a full medical check-up and are placed in temporary emergency foster care. Most of these babies are quickly adopted into loving families.
The Bigger Picture This isn’t just about saving lives; it's also about changing perceptions. In a culture where babies can be seen as burdens or property, Safe Haven laws offer a compassionate alternative, reminding us of the value and dignity of every child.
Want to Help? If you're inspired to help, you can work on bringing a Safe Haven Baby Box to your area. Check your state's laws and see how you can get involved. You can be a part of the solution!
Safe Haven laws and baby boxes are essential lifelines, providing desperate mothers with safe options and ensuring babies have a chance at life in loving families. Spread the word!

Are you afraid of commitment? It’s a common struggle, affecting both men and women today. Whether it’s a hesitant date or a marriage that feels stuck, commitment fears can sneak in and create roadblocks.
Meet Joe Sikorra
In this episode of "Trending with Timmerie," you'll hear from Joe Sikorra, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the author of "The Whole World Is Going Crazy But You Don't Have To." Joe’s wisdom is both profound and practical, blending faith and psychology to help navigate today’s chaotic world.
Here's a link to the whole episode!
Understanding Fear of Commitment
Joe kicked off by explaining why commitment is so vital. It’s the bedrock of our relationships, key to happiness, and crucial for finding meaning. Yet, so many of us are shackled by fear. Let’s dive into why this happens:
Childhood Trauma: Did you grow up in a turbulent home? Experiences of neglect, abuse, or witnessing divorce can plant deep fears of trust and stability.
Self-Sabotage: Do you find yourself making excuses to avoid deepening relationships? This might be a sign of underlying fears.
Cultural Pressures: Today’s social media culture can make us feel like we need to be perfect, further fueling our fears.
Recognizing the Signs
Red Flags to Watch For:
Anxiety: Do you feel a sense of dread about getting close to someone?
Avoidance: Do you often cancel plans or avoid making them in the first place?
Self-Sabotage: Do you engage in behaviors that push people away, even if you don’t mean to?
Take a moment to ask yourself:
Do I feel nervous about getting closer to my partner or friends?
Do I often avoid deep conversations or commitments?
Can I trace these feelings back to something in my past?
Healing and Moving Forward
Therapy and Faith:
Therapy: Talking to a professional can help you understand and heal from past traumas.
Prayer and Faith: Building a deeper relationship with God can provide a sense of safety and trust.
Steps You Can Take:
Reflect on Your Past: Consider how your childhood experiences might be affecting you now.
Seek Help: Therapy can offer tools and insights to overcome fears.
Nurture Your Faith: Engage in prayer and spiritual practices to build trust in God’s love.
There’s Always Hope
Joe’s message is clear: No matter your past, healing is possible. By understanding the roots of your commitment fears and actively working to overcome them, you can build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. Remember, with faith and effort, you can break free from the chains of fear and embrace the joy of committed love.
Take a deep breath, and know that with understanding, therapy, and faith, you can overcome your fears and build the loving, committed relationships you deserve.

Dr. Ingrid Skop, a seasoned obstetrician and pro-life advocate, shared her experiences with the heartbreaking aftermath of abortions. Dr. Skop, who has delivered over 5,000 babies, offers a unique and compassionate perspective on the real-life consequences faced by women.
The Heartbreaking Aftermath of Abortion With a heavy heart, Dr. Skop reveals the severe complications women endure after abortions, especially with the rise of chemical abortions. She describes how women come to her in desperate need, suffering from heavy bleeding, infections, and requiring emergency surgery. It's not just statistics for her; it's about real women in pain, women who are often left alone to deal with the physical and emotional wreckage.
The Dark Side of Underreporting Dr. Skop uncovers a shocking truth: the FDA admits that 1 in 25 women will need emergency care after taking abortion drugs. But many of these cases are misdiagnosed as miscarriages due to the shame surrounding abortion. Dr. Skop speaks about the women who suffer in silence, feeling abandoned and betrayed by a system that promised them "safe and easy" solutions.
The Dangers of Mail-Order Abortions With genuine concern, Dr. Skop tells you about the alarming trend of mail-order abortion drugs. These medications, sent across state lines leave women to fend for themselves. She shares heartbreaking stories of women making multiple emergency room visits, bleeding and in pain, before they receive the care they need. This lack of oversight is truly a profound human tragedy.
The Truth Behind the Numbers Dr. Skop criticizes the abortion industry's manipulation of data. She talks about how pro-abortion studies often fail to track complications accurately, leaving many women's suffering unrecorded. The pro-life research she and her colleagues conduct is frequently censored, stifling the truth about the real dangers of abortion. It's a battle for transparency and honesty that she is determined to fight.
A Call for Real Compassion Reflecting on her decades in the field, Dr. Skop makes it clear that that abortion has been a devastating failure for women's health. She talks about the long-term consequences: the medical complications, the mental health issues, and the societal problems like fatherless children. With deep compassion, she calls for a reevaluation of this "failed experiment" and advocates for comprehensive support for women facing unplanned pregnancies. She believes in a world where both the mother and the child are cherished and supported.
Abortion is a path that leads to profound suffering and regret. Dr. Skop's heartfelt plea is to protect and cherish both the mother and the child, providing real support and hope for those facing unexpected pregnancies.

Spiritual Communion Prayer by St. Alphonsus Liguori
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen
Ever felt like you just need some "me time? What do you usually do?
Here's a question - has "me time" gone too far?
The Self-Care Hype: A Personal Take
Timmerie recounts a conversation with a longtime friend who worked in pregnancy resource centers. This friend shared stories of a mom juggling full-time parenting, PTA duties, and church volunteering, all while desperately seeking "me time." On the flip side, another friend, a mother of four, laughed at the idea of "me time," reminiscing about simply taking a deep breath amidst the chaos.
Jim’s Perspective: From Common Sense to Crazy
Jim O'Day joins the conversation with a candid take on how self-care has morphed into a narcissistic craze. He shares a frustrating story of an older woman caught up in the self-care movement, spending money she didn't have on extravagant retreats. Jim emphasizes that true self-care should be about maintaining balance through simple, everyday actions—like a peaceful walk or a good night's sleep—not expensive getaways.
The Personal Toll of Extreme Self-Care
There can be dangers of over-prioritizing self-care. This obsession can lead to family breakdowns, with some women going from being supermoms to walking away from their families. Jim calls for a return to the kind of common-sense care our grandmothers knew: small acts that nourish without isolating.
Healthy Marriages Need Healthy Individuals
Jim shares his experience working with couples. He stresses the importance of both partners getting healthy individually for their relationship to thrive. He advises against trying to fix each other, suggesting instead to focus on self-improvement and personal growth. His personal phrase? "You fix you, he fixes him."
The Value of Trusted Friends
Both Timmerie and Jim stress the importance of having a support system. Jim shares how he turns to trusted friends when he's struggling, making sure to focus on his own feelings rather than criticizing his spouse. This approach fosters healthier processing of marital challenges and keeps the focus on personal growth.
Balancing Self-Care with Common Sense
Balance and moderation are key. Timmerie and Jim encourage you to find joy in simple pleasures and maintain healthy routines without giving in to the pressures of social media's extravagant standards.

You need to hear this eye-opening episode of Trending with Timmerie where she talked to Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse from the Ruth Institute. The topic? A new bill in Massachusetts that could allow women to sell their babies before they're even born. Let's dive into the details together.
Parental "Equality" or Ethical Nightmare?
Dr. Morse explained that this bill, under the guise of promoting parental equality, would let women make contracts to sell their unborn children. If the contract is signed while the woman is still pregnant, it’s considered a surrogacy arrangement. But if done after birth, it's classified as illegal baby selling. This loophole is deeply troubling.
Surrogacy: The Slippery Slope
We already know surrogacy in the U.S. is lightly regulated, especially in places like Southern California. This bill would take things further, turning pregnancy into a potential commercial transaction. Imagine unborn children being treated as commodities—this goes against everything we believe about the sanctity of life.
The Ethical Quagmire
Dr. Morse highlighted the disturbing contradiction in the fertility industry: on one hand, people desperately want a baby and see embryos as precious; on the other, any "excess" embryos are often discarded as medical waste. This bill only intensifies the commodification of children, making them mere objects to be bought and sold.

With infertility rates climbing, it’s predicted that by 2050, most people will need medical help to conceive. This has made surrogacy and IVF more common, often glamorized on social media. But behind the scenes, this trend reduces children to status symbols, akin to luxury items like designer handbags or cars.
Redefining Parenthood: A Dangerous Precedent
This bill also changes what it means to be a parent. Instead of recognizing the natural, biological bond, it shifts parenthood to something defined by the state through contracts. This could lead to more government control over family life, moving us away from recognizing the natural, God-given relationships between parents and children.
Call to Action
We need to stand up against this bill and protect the sanctity of life. Every child is a unique and unrepeatable gift from God, not a commodity to be bought and sold. If you live in Massachusetts or know someone who does, spread the word and urge your policymakers to reject this dangerous legislation.
Remember: Every child is a unique and unrepeatable gift from God. Let's protect that sacred gift.

Trending with Timmerie is back with a hot topic: There's no such thing as a gay gene!
Science to the Rescue: Back in 2019, a big-deal study in the journal Science put the nail in the coffin on the gay gene myth. Yep, 20 researchers came together and said, "Nope, you can't be born gay." They found out that genetics don't control who you're attracted to. It's all about your environment – family, friends, upbringing – those are the real game-changers.
Timmerie's Friends: Timmerie shared stories about two of her childhood friends who came out as gay later in life. It was heartbreaking for her to witness this. She saw their identities shift and felt it was more about losing touch with themselves and their natural attractions rather than being born that way.
Nature vs. Nurture: The study showed that environmental factors have double the impact on sexual orientation compared to genetics. So, it's not nature – it's nurture! Everything from your diet to your neighborhood shapes who you are.
What the Church Says: The Catholic Church has always believed that we're free to make our own choices. The idea of a gay gene goes against this belief. We're made to love freely, using our intellect and free will.
Change is Possible: People can and do change. Many who once identified as gay now live heterosexual lives, showing that transformation is real. Faith and love play a huge part in this journey.
Surprising Stats: Did you know more people in the U.S. and UK identify as "formerly gay" than currently gay? Crazy, right? This shows that a lot of people are finding new paths that align more with their faith and natural law.
The Takeaway: Timmerie wants us to remember that our environment and our choices shape us. We have the freedom to change and grow, especially with the support of our faith. Let's embrace the truth about human freedom and God's plan for love and sexuality.

Ah, summer. The time when you have to entertain your kids, and you wonder what you're going to do with them all day! Sometimes, all they want to do is be on their phones, right?
Timmerie explores how our culture has shifted from being play-driven to phone-driven.
The Scenario: A few summers ago, Timmerie invited some kids and parents over for an outdoor evening with s'mores and a fire pit. The excitement of traditional fun didn't last long; the kids were soon inside, bored and asking for a TV (which Timmerie doesn't own). Even the parents couldn't handle being without their devices.
The Realization: Timmerie realized she was hosting people who didn't know how to entertain themselves without technology. That's a tall order! She had to think on her feet and decided to engage them in physical activities, like breakdancing, which surprisingly worked. The kids were captivated, and the adults finally relaxed and engaged.
The Book Connection: This experience reminded Timmerie of Jonathan Haidt's book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. Haidt, a social psychologist, looks at how technology and social media are rewiring children's brains, causing severe anxiety, irritability, insomnia, and dysphoria.
The Bigger Picture: The shift from a play-based culture to a phone-based one is pretty concerning. Kids today don't know how to enjoy simple pleasures like playing tag, making shadow puppets, or having a bonfire. Remember those days? This lack of physical and face-to-face interaction is devastating, not just to kids but to adults as well.
Timmerie's Challenge: She encourages parents to foster play and boredom in their children. Simple activities like running through sprinklers, playing with sticks, or even drinking from a hose can be delightful. Parents really need to actively engage with their kids to cultivate these experiences.
🔗 Closing Thought: As we navigate a tech-heavy world, it's crucial to reclaim our time and enjoy the simple, yet profound joys of life. Let's put down the phones and embrace real, hands-on play and connection. Life is too short!

Fitness expert Sal Di Stefano joins Timmerie to delve into the pretty concerning decline in testosterone levels in men, a trend that's been consistent since the 1970s. This drop in testosterone has been linked to various issues like low energy, infertility, obesity, diabetes, muscle mass loss, and even depression.
The Testosterone Crisis: What's Happening?
Testosterone and Sperm Count: Since the 70s, testosterone and sperm count in men have halved, affecting not only older men but also adolescents and young men.
Impact on Health: Low testosterone (Low T) contributes to low energy, obesity, diabetes, infertility, muscle mass loss, bone density issues, depression, and a general lack of well-being. You deserve to feel better.
Raising Testosterone Naturally: Tips from Sal Di Stefano
Strength Training:
Lift Weights: Building muscle increases androgen receptor density, which helps testosterone bind more effectively. Even with the same testosterone levels, more receptors can make it feel like having double the testosterone.
Consistency is Key: Regular strength training not only builds muscle but can also increase testosterone levels.
Healthy Diet:
Balanced Nutrition: Focus on non-processed foods high in protein. Make sure you're not deficient in key nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium.
Supplements: If deficient, simple supplements can make a big difference. Get tested for nutrient levels by a doctor or functional medicine practitioner.
Quality Sleep:
Sleep is Critical: Poor sleep can significantly drop testosterone levels. Not good! Just two nights of bad sleep can lead to a noticeable decrease.
Better Sleep Practices:
Regular Schedule: Find consistency. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
Limit Electronics: Avoid screens before bed to improve sleep quality.
Caffeine Cut-off: No more coffee after your earlier meetings! Avoid caffeine after 1-2 p.m.
Dark Environment: Life hack here! Use sleep masks and blackout curtains to enhance sleep.
Lifestyle Changes:
Sunlight Exposure: Regular sunlight helps regulate circadian rhythms.
Stress Management: Cut that stress! Reducing your anxiety can have a positive impact on testosterone levels.
Consistency: Try to avoid jet-lagging yourself by keeping a consistent schedule even on weekends.
The Problem with Quick Fixes
Estrogen Blockers and Testosterone Treatments: These are often just temporary solutions and don’t address the root causes. Long-term lifestyle changes are necessary for sustainable improvement.
Sal's Key Takeaways:
Strength Training and Proper Nutrition are foundational.
Quality Sleep can dramatically boost testosterone levels.
Natural Methods often outperform quick-fix medical treatments.
Further Reading:
Check out Sal Di Stefano's book, The Resistance Training Revolutionfor more insights and tips.
By implementing these natural strategies, men can effectively boost their testosterone levels, leading to improved energy, better health, and enhanced overall well-being.

Chastity and homosexuality
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. It psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity (Cf. Genesis 19:1-29; Romans 1:24-27; 1 Corinthians 6:10; 1 Timothy 1:10), tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.” (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Persona humana, 8). They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. They do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them their inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection

Ever heard that abortion is necessary to save a woman's life? Think again!
In a recent episode of Trending with Timmerie, Dr. Ingrid Skop, an obstetrician and the Vice President of Medical Affairs for the Charlotte Lozier Institute, joins Timmerie to tackle one of the most persistent pro-abortion myths: the idea that abortion is necessary to save the life of a mother. Dr. Skop, who has delivered over 5,000 babies, asserts that abortion is never medically necessary to save a mother's life. Instead, the focus should be on early delivery if complications arise, ensuring both mother and child receive the care they need.
Key Points from the Podcast:
Medical Misinformation & Misleading Practices:
Since the 1960s and 70s, Timmerie explains that the medical community has often misinformed women about their fertility and health, pushing birth control and abortion as solutions to underlying health issues.
Abortion & Emergency Medical Treatment:
Dr. Skop clarifies that in emergency situations, the appropriate medical response is to stabilize the mother and deliver the baby, not perform an abortion.
EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act of 1986) requires hospitals to provide emergency care, which includes evaluating and stabilizing both the mother and unborn child.
Supreme Court & Legal Battles:
The Biden administration's attempts to use EMTALA to promote abortion conflicts with state laws. However, Dr. Skop is optimistic that the Supreme Court will uphold the states' rights to protect both mother and child in emergencies.
Misleading Pro-Abortion Arguments:
Pro-abortion advocates often use the argument of "life of the mother" to justify abortion, despite it not being necessary. Most medical emergencies occur later in pregnancy when early delivery is viable.
Pro-Life Laws & Women's Health:
Quality medical practice involves early delivery, not abortion. Abortion, especially later in pregnancy, is riskier for women and often coerced by external pressures.
The Charlotte Lozier Institute provides scientific, peer-reviewed data debunking pro-abortion claims and supporting pro-life laws.
Global Perspective:
The U.S. is one of only eight countries that allows elective abortions throughout the entire pregnancy, a practice that is both inhumane and unnecessary. This is a heartbreaking reality that our nation needs to correct, and we need to turn back to the Lord.
Dr. Skop emphasizes that abortion till birth is a tragic reality in the U.S., often justified under vague definitions of health that include social and financial reasons. This misrepresentation leads to coercive practices that harm women and their babies. These women truly want to keep their children. Can you only imagine the pain and pressure they feel? We need to show them compassion and better choices, and walk with them through this hurt.
Pro-Life, Pro-Woman:
"Pro-life is pro-woman."
Pro-life laws protect women and children. The reality is, women facing crises during pregnancy need comprehensive care, not abortion. Educate yourself and others using resources from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, where science and compassion meet to support life at all stages. Here's one of Dr. Skop's publications.

Society has tried to sadly tried to downplay the importance of motherhood. But take heart, your role as a mom truly matters.
Click here to listen to the full episode and dive deeper into the fascinating insights on motherhood and child development! 🌟👶🤱
👩👧 The Unique Love of a Mother
Bishop Olmsted's Apostolic Letter:
Only mothers can offer the unique motherly love their children need.
This message is a call to embrace and cherish the motherly role.
🧠 The Science Behind Motherhood
Erica Komisar’s Research:
Her book, Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters, presents compelling data that's worth taking seriously.
The amygdala, crucial for stress regulation, is best kept inactive in the early years through the presence of the mother.
Separation from the mother can prematurely activate the amygdala, leading to long-term stress issues.
💔 The Modern Challenge
Economic Pressures:
Today’s economy often forces mothers to work, sparking debate on this necessary yet controversial topic.
🤱 Early Childhood Development
Physical contact, nursing, and constant engagement between mother and baby foster crucial brain development.
These interactions regulate the baby’s stress and help develop resilience and secure attachments.
Mothers as the Child’s Central Nervous System
Mothers provide a “safety blanket” through empathy, touch, and attentiveness.
Traditional practices in various cultures, like constant physical closeness, show the importance of maternal presence.
🔬 Hormonal Insights
Role of Oxytocin:
Known as the “cuddle hormone,” oxytocin helps buffer stress and regulate emotions in infants.
It fosters empathy, which is crucial in combating issues like the rise of pornography addiction and emotional detachment.
🤱 Mother's Presence and Child’s Identity
Babies’ identities are intertwined with their mothers’, making maternal presence crucial in early years.
Acts of care, like changing diapers and nursing, teach children about respect and honor for their bodies.
🌍 Modern Implications
Despite societal changes, the irreplaceable role of mothers in early childhood remains.
The absence of a mother can have significant long-term impacts on a child’s mental health.
Oxytocin Benefits for Mothers
Close contact with children helps mothers recover from pain and stress.
Mothers benefit emotionally and physically from their nurturing roles.
💡 Final Thoughts
Building up mothers and recognizing their critical role is essential.
Encouraging women to embrace motherhood can restore the mental health and resilience of future generations.
Key Takeaways:
Motherhood is irreplaceable: No one can substitute the unique role a mother plays in the first years of a child's life.
Economic realities: While the economy may necessitate mothers working, recognizing the value of their role at home is crucial.
Cultural shifts: Modern society needs to revalue the significance of maternal presence for the well-being of children.

Paying for a lot of food at the grocery store? Your wallet might be feeling the pain!
Timmerie joins forces with budgeting pros Jonathan and Amanda Teixeira to tackle the ever-pressing issue of rising grocery costs. Here’s a quick look into the savory tips and tricks they dished out to keep your wallet happy while feeding your family or downsizing your household! Get the full episode here!
🛒 The Soaring Costs: Grocery prices have rocketed 25-35% higher than four years ago, turning the once humble grocery bill into a budget-busting monster. The Teixeiras recommend budgeting $125 to $150 per person per month due to inflation, up from the old estimate of $100.
🍽️ Meal Planning Magic: The secret sauce? Meal planning! Planning your meals can leverage seasonal sales and ensure ingredients are used efficiently, reducing waste. Jonathan and Amanda suggest scheduling meals to use overlapping ingredients, turning leftover cabbage into Thursday's coleslaw, for instance.
🌽 Shop Smart: Shopping at cost-effective stores like Aldi or using online grocery platforms can cut costs and prevent impulsive buys. Online shopping is particularly praised for allowing precise budget control and reducing the temptations of in-store displays.
🥦 Bulk Buying and More: While bulk buying at places like Costco can save money, it might lead to overspending unless managed wisely. The duo suggests that buying in bulk should be approached with caution, focusing more on staple items and less on perishables that might go unused.
🥗 Creative Cooking: Embrace the art of using what you already have through "Pantry Freezer Meal Challenges," which involve crafting meals from existing pantry and freezer stocks before buying new groceries. This method not only saves money but also ensures nothing goes to waste.
Family and Finance: Balancing a growing family's needs with a grocery budget can be challenging. Engaging in leftovers, planning for 'empty meal days,' and shopping based on what's already in your pantry are key strategies the Teixeiras use to keep their food budget in check while still enjoying meals together.
By infusing creativity into meal planning and leveraging technology and strategic shopping, you can dramatically cut your grocery expenses. Tune into your spending habits, embrace online shopping, and never underestimate the power of a well-planned leftover! 💡💵🍴
So next time you're staring into the abyss of your refrigerator, remember: strategic shopping and creative cooking are your best friends in the battle against the grocery bill beast!

Gen Z: The Next Tool Belt Generation
Timmerie investigates the fascinating trend of Gen Z (ages 14-27) ditching traditional degrees for trade schools! Inspired by Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" fame, she explores why young people, especially men, are flocking to trades like welding, electricity, and construction.
Key Highlights:
Trade School Surge!
Enrollment in trade schools is up by 16%, and there's a 23% increase in students diving into construction jobs post-high school. This shift is a clear reaction to the skyrocketing student debt and uncertain job prospects for degree holders.
AI Impact
Mike Rowe says that while AI threatens white-collar jobs, blue-collar roles like electricians and pipe fitters are booming!
Debt-Free Ambition
Gen Z is sidestepping massive student loans, opting instead for certifications and hands-on skills. Timmerie notes many millennials regret not taking this route, burdened by student debt that's often more than a mortgage.
Revaluing Work Ethic
Timmerie emphasizes shifting from chasing prestige to valuing hard work and provision. Inspired by St. Thomas Aquinas, it’s about cultivating a solid work ethic and enjoying the fruits of labor now.
Catholic Trade Schools
Excitingly, Catholic trade schools are sprouting nationwide, combining skill training with spiritual formation! Examples include College of St. Joseph the Worker in Ohio and Santiago Trade School in California. These institutions are not only teaching trades but also instilling theological values.
Empowering Men
Timmerie touches on how trades are turning boys into men, equipping them with life skills like changing a light bulb, fixing a doorknob, or checking car tires. It’s a pushback against the "anti-male" education bias in universities.
Practical Advantages
Blue-collar jobs often pay more and offer quicker paths to financial stability than many white-collar roles. They're also seen as more fulfilling, with workers gaining confidence and potentially moving into self-employment.
The St. Joseph Reminder
Celebrating St. Joseph the Worker on May 1st, Timmerie reflects on restoring the dignity of labor, mentioning that meaningful work isn’t limited to corporate offices but thrives in hands-on trades.
Takeaway:
Encourage the next generation to explore trades! Not only do these careers offer financial stability without the heavy debt load, but they also provide fulfilling, hands-on work that contributes significantly to society.

If you're navigating the rough seas of divorce, or know someone who is, you'll want to hear Dr. Joe Sikorra, a wise marriage and family therapist.
He joined Timmerie for a chat that's all about finding light after the storm of a breakup. Be sure to access the whole episode here! This clip is just a highlight.
Breaking Down the Pain and Embarrassment
Let’s face it, divorce can feel extra tough, especially within our Catholic circles. This episode tackles those heavy feelings head-on, turning the spotlight on healing and moving forward.
Christ at the Heart of Healing
Dr. Sikorra puts Christ right at the center, reminding us that with faith, starting over is not just possible, but promising. Understanding and embracing your grief is like the first step on a path to rediscovery. Think of it as getting to know yourself all over again, with help from Jesus. He sees and understands your pain.
Navigating Grief with Grace
Grieving the loss of what your marriage was supposed to be is tough. Dr. Sikorra shares insights on how to gently acknowledge this grief, understand it, and slowly put the pieces back together. It's all about embracing this new chapter with hope and healing.
Building Your Support Squad
Going solo through this? Not a chance! Reaching out is crucial, and everyone needs a support system. Whether it’s friends who offer a shoulder to cry on, buddies for some much-needed laughs, or someone to pray with, it's all about finding your people who can walk this journey with you.
Riding the Emotional Rollercoaster
Yes, the emotional ups and downs are intense, but Dr. Sikorra has some savvy advice on balancing these feelings. While it’s important to let yourself feel the lows, don’t forget to also spot the highs—those little moments of joy and peace that are still part of your life.
A Faith-Filled Journey to New Beginnings
You'll get a heartwarming reminder that you’re not alone. Timmerie and Dr. Sikorra offer both professional guidance and a dose of spiritual comfort to help you find your footing again.
Whether you're dealing with your own divorce or supporting a friend, know that you are not alone in this season.

Why do kids seem so listless and unhappy? How can you help them?
👨🎓 Guest: Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, a renowned expert in technology addiction, Ivy League educated psychologist, and author of influential books like Digital Madness and Glow Kids joins Timmerie to give his perspective. Check out the whole hour here.
Key Insights:
Digital Dilemma: Dr. Kardaras highlights a profound 'poverty of spirit' among young people, exacerbated by the digital landscape. He describes a world where technology not only distracts but fills a spiritual void, leading to increased feelings of loneliness and depression.
Finding Purpose: The discussion pivots to the crucial role of finding one's bliss—a term popularized by Joseph Campbell, implying the discovery of something that genuinely sparks joy and provides a sense of purpose. Dr. Kardaras emphasizes the importance of helping kids identify their passions rather than succumbing to the digital noise. At the same time, we need to remember that our purpose is not what defines us. If we put too much stock into what we do, it could crush us in the future if we've put all our livelihood into it.
The Grit & Resilience Recipe: Angela Duckworth's concept of 'grit'—a blend of passion and perseverance—is highlighted as essential for young people to develop. Dr. Kardaras stresses the importance of engaging in real-world activities that require persistence, such as sports or musical instruments, which can help build resilience.
Critical Thinking Over Emotion: There's a dominance of emotional reactions within social media. Dr. Kardaras advises parents to encourage critical thinking and analytical discussions with their children, focusing on a Socratic method of questioning and reasoning.
Rediscovering the Classics: To combat the shallow quick-fix solutions of modern education, Dr. Kardaras advocates for reintroducing young minds to classic literature, which can help foster deeper analytical skills and thought processes.
This episode is a wake-up call for parents, educators, and anyone involved with the younger generation to foster environments that promote psychological strength and spiritual health, rather than mere digital distraction. 💪📘

It can be exhausting to be a mom, yet heartbreaking to want to be a mom when you can't. Get the whole podcast here!
Timmerie shares a heartfelt exploration of the realities that shape modern womanhood, discussing how women navigate the often-conflicting roles of wife, mother, and professional. She talks personally about the societal pressures that expect women to perfectly balance these roles, and how these expectations often clash with personal ambitions and realities.
Timmerie touches on the financial and social challenges that come with accepting the role of motherhood, such as the lack of social security benefits for stay-at-home moms. She invites you to see these decisions through a lens of faith, trusting that God provides, though not always in the ways we might expect.
A significant part of her podcast discussion revolves around feminism's impact on her life and others. She reflects on how feminist ideologies have infiltrated many aspects of life, sometimes pushing women towards roles or identities that may not fit their personal callings or family dynamics.
Timmerie emphasizes the importance of understanding and navigating these tensions with grace and self-compassion. She encourages you to find confidence and self-worth not by societal standards but by embracing and valuing their own unique experiences and contributions, whether at home, in the workplace, or in their communities.
Planned Parenthood’s annual report shows a peak into a post Roe era. Hugh Brown joins Trending with Timmerie to discuss.

Sal Di Stefano sheds light on an unexpectedly profound subject: the transformative power of parenting. While Sal has made a name for himself in the fitness realm, his recent social media musings about the joys and challenges of family life have sparked both acclaim and controversy.
The Parenting Paradox: Countercultural yet Fulfilling
In today's fast-paced, selfie-obsessed world, embracing the traditional family structure and championing the role of parenting is practically revolutionary. Sal's candid reflections on fatherhood have polarized audiences. While many parents resonate with his message, others express disdain, viewing children as impediments to personal freedom and success.
The Real Workout: Parenthood
Sal and Timmerie delve into the essence of parenting, contrasting the societal portrayal of it as a burdensome life sentence with the reality of its unparalleled emotional rewards. They tackle the pervasive myths surrounding the financial and lifestyle "costs" of children, arguing that the real sacrifice lies not in what you give up but in what you gain: a love that transcends self-interest, fostering personal growth and deep, meaningful connections.
Cultural Conditioning vs. Fulfillment
Sal points out the emptiness of chasing wealth and beauty at the expense of missing out on the deepest human relationships possible.
A Call to Action: Rethink Happiness
It's a call to reevaluate societal values and personal priorities. Sal and Timmerie challenge you to consider parenthood not just as a life stage but as a life-enhancing journey that offers unparalleled opportunities for growth, happiness, and fulfillment. In a world obsessed with superficial achievements, they argue, raising children stands out as the most rewarding and transformative experience one can have.

The Mystical Enigma of the Burial Cloths: Shroud of Turin & Sudarium of Oviedo
Imagine stepping into the past, into the empty tomb of Jesus, only to find the burial cloths, mentioned in the Gospel of John, mysteriously abandoned. These aren't just any cloths; they're the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo, loaded with scientific clues that beckon the truth of Jesus' resurrection. Fr. Robert Sptizer joins Timmerie to explain.
The Shroud of Turin: A Canvas of Blood and Mystery
The Shroud of Turin is a celestial map to the passion of Christ, marked with 372 bloodstains that align perfectly with the anatomy of crucifixion wounds. The image on the shroud, a haunting negative of a crucified man, defies explanation. How could a medieval forger concoct a masterpiece that exhibits blood stains anatomically accurate without the image, only for the image to appear later, floating on the very surface of the fibers? It's a riddle that screams of a divine fingerprint.
Science Meets Divine: The Radiation Theory
Fr. Spitzer unravels the only plausible explanation for the shroud's image: a burst of radiation, a divine light so intense, it leaves the perfect imprint of Christ's crucified body. It's a miraculous event where the body of Jesus generates a blast of light energy, revealing not just the external but the very bones within, in precise three-dimensional detail.
The Sudarium of Oviedo: A Twin Testament
The Sudarium of Oviedo, the face cloth of Jesus, presents over 120 points of congruence with the Shroud of Turin, solidifying their connection to the same divine event. This isn't coincidence; it's celestial confirmation.
Debunking the Debunkers: The Carbon Dating Controversy
Critics clung to carbon dating results from 1988, suggesting the shroud was a medieval creation. Yet, this claim crumbles under the weight of comprehensive scientific scrutiny, proving the shroud's origins trace back to the time and place of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.
The Verdict: Science Embraces Faith
Father Spitzer and Timmerie shine a light on the undeniable evidence of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, engraved not just in the fabric of the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo but in the very heart of science. This Easter, let the skeptics come forward, for here lies the proof, a testament to the greatest truth ever told.
In a world obsessed with glitz and glamour, Eva Mendes took a daring leap into the realm of stay-at-home parenting, trading red carpets for play mats and script readings for storytime. 🎭📚 Timmerie reflects on the heart of this choice, comparing it against the backdrop of modern views on marriage and family life.
The Great Irony: Marriage, an Outdated Institution? 🤔
Eva Mendes, known for her roles alongside Ryan Gosling, her partner and father of their two daughters, stirred the pot by calling marriage "old-fashioned" and "archaic." Yet, she embodies the essence of dedication by stepping away from her career to nurture their children full-time. Timmerie challenges this contradiction, emphasizing marriage's timeless value in cementing a family's foundation.
The Glamorous Life of a Full-Time Mom 👩👧👧
Choosing to be a stay-at-home parent in today's fast-paced world is nothing short of revolutionary. Mendes shares her journey of leaving the limelight to focus on her most significant roles yet: being a mother to her two girls. This decision, far from diminishing her, shows the profound impact of parental presence on a child's life. 🌱
The Grocery Store Revelation: Celebrating the Stay-at-Home Parent 🛒💖
An encounter at the grocery store becomes a powerful testament to the value of being there for one's children. Amidst aisles of ordinary life, an older woman's affirmation of Timmerie's choice as a "privilege" for her children spotlights the rarity and significance of such a commitment in today's society.
Redefining Privilege: The True Cost of Parenthood 💸
Addressing the elephant in the room, Timmerie dismantles the notion that stay-at-home parenting is a luxury reserved for the privileged few. Whether it's Eva Mendes or any other parent making this choice, it's a journey marked by sacrifice, love, and a profound understanding of what truly matters. 🏡
A Call to Action: Embracing Our Greatest Work
Timmerie reminds us that our most extraordinary achievements aren't found in accolades or career milestones but in the lives we touch and the faith we pass on to our kids. From Eva Mendes' example: the message is clear: our families are our greatest work. ❤️
The Stay-at-Home Odyssey 🚀
Timmerie invites us to reflect on the faith and values that guide our lives. In a world where career often takes precedence, choosing to be present for one's family is a radical act of love and sacrifice. Let's recognize that the true measure of our lives lies not in our public accolades but in the private moments of connection and care that shape the hearts and minds of the next generation. 🌍💕

The Lorica Prayer – Saint Patrick’s Breast Plate Prayer
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth and His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In preachings of the apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.
I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
From snares of the devil,
From temptations of vices,
From every one who desires me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a multitude.
I summon today all these powers between me and evil,
Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that reward may come to me in abundance.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation
St. Patrick (ca. 377)
Catechism of the Catholic Church 115-117
“God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.
All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers.
They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone”

In this podcast episode of Trending with Timmerie, Timmerie chats with Lillian Fallon, a fashion designer and author, about sprucing up your wardrobe. Timmerie kicks things off by venting about her frustration with her closet situation after years of rocking nursing and pregnancy attire.
Lillian jumps in with some solid advice, recommending versatile clothing pieces that you can mix and match. She's all about starting with the basics, like brown knee-high boots and comfy black wide-leg pants (mid-rise, please!). She's also a big fan of a simple black shift dress – the ultimate go-to for all occasions.
But Lillian doesn't stop there. She's got a knack for thrift store treasures, recommending hitting up those secondhand spots for vintage blazers and quality collared shirts with unique necklines. Oh, and she's all about being creative with your style – none of that cookie-cutter fashion stuff.
And let's not forget about modesty. Lillian drops some wisdom on how your clothes should reflect your worth and dignity, with a dash of street style inspiration from Pinterest to boot.

Trans Controversy Erupts When Girls Basketball Game Ends In Forfeit Following Three Injuries
https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-trans-controversy-erupts-when-girls-basketball-game-ends-in-forfeit-following-three-injuries
In an eye-opening episode of "Trending with Timmerie," the spotlight turns to Ariana Grande's latest controversial hit, "Yes, And." At first glance, it's a pop sensation wrapped in scandal and self-justification. Ariana Grande's song emerges amidst backlash, painting a vivid picture of her as a self-proclaimed homewrecker, following her affair with "Wicked" co-star Ethan Slater, which tragically ended his marriage.
But wait, there's more than meets the eye! 🤯 Timmerie dives deep, transforming what could be a mere critique into a powerful Lenten reflection. The lyrics, "Yes, and? Keep moving like, okay, what's next?" reflect a broader cultural trend towards self-justification and avoidance of remorse. Yet, this isn't just about pointing fingers at pop stars. It's a mirror to our souls, a wake-up call to examine the music we consume, the influences we embrace, and the justifications we make for our actions.
In a culture obsessed with moving on without accountability, Timmerie challenges us to pause and reflect this Lent. The episode isn't merely a critique of Ariana's actions but a profound invitation to introspection. How often do we justify our sins instead of seeking reconciliation and showing true remorse?
Amidst the beats and controversies, a timeless message rings clear: our authentic life is not found in justifying our wrongs but in embracing the life of grace offered by God through the sacraments. This Lent, Timmerie doesn't just invite us to turn off the pop music that fuels our anxieties; she calls us to a deeper conversion, to identify our predominant sins, seek forgiveness, and grow in virtue.
So, as we navigate the tumultuous waters of modern culture, let's take Timmerie's advice to heart. Let's dive deep into an examination of conscience, run to Reconciliation, and truly engage in the life Christ offers us. It's not about the scandal; it's about the salvation waiting on the other side of our "Yes, And" moments.
🙏 Dive into Lent with a Fresh Perspective: Say "Yes, And" to Grace! 🙏
Share this eye-opening reflection with your circle and spark a conversation that transcends the headlines. Let's not just trend; let's transform this Lent. 🌟

Interview with Senator Josh Hawley
https://relevantradio.com/2023/06/an-exclusive-conversation-with-sen-josh-hawley-special-podcast-highlight/
On "Trending," things got real as Timmerie and high school football coach Hugh Brown talked about that moment when Travis Kelce seemed to push Coach Andy Reid at the Super Bowl. What did you think about it?
🏈 Kelce vs. Reid: A Super Bowl Scuffle? At first glance, everyone was like, "Did Kelce just shove Reid?!" But as the story unfolded, it was more of a passionate plea from Kelce wanting back in the game. Even Coach Reid brushed it off, saying he was just caught off balance. Classic misinterpretation, or was it? Turns out, it was all about the heat of the moment, showing just how much Kelce cares about the game and his team.
🎤 Swifties Enter the Scene Then, out of left field, Taylor Swift's fans start calling for a Kelce-Swift breakup because of the whole thing. Yes, you heard that right. The Swifties think Kelce's move was a deal-breaker. It's like, suddenly we've got a mix of football, pop culture, and relationship advice all in one. Only in 2024!
📚 Coach Brown Weighs in Hugh Brown sees the situation as a teachable moment, not just about football but about life. It's all about passion, intensity, and the drive to succeed. Kelce's moment of heat? It's just what happens when you're all-in on the biggest stage.
👨🏫 Sideline Stories & Life Lessons Coach Brown shares some heartwarming coaching stories that really hit home. These aren't just about football; they're life lessons about respect, teamwork, and staying cool under pressure. It's like, football is more than just a game; it's a classroom for character.
🛡️ Redefining Masculinity The convo takes a turn into deeper waters, talking about aggression and masculinity. Coach Hugh Brown's take? It's all about balance. Being fierce and competitive doesn't have to cross into toxic territory. It's what makes sports thrilling and teaches guys how to channel their energy positively.
🎵 T-Swift, Football, and the Big Picture And because no drama is complete without a pop icon, Taylor Swift's connection to the whole saga gets a nod. Brown challenges the "toxic masculinity" label, pointing out the irony in Swifties criticizing Kelce. It's a fresh perspective on how we view celebrities, relationships, and the messages we get from pop culture.
🎉 So, whether you're here for the football, the drama, or just love a good chat about life's big questions, Timmerie and Hugh Brown delivered an episode that's as entertaining as it is enlightening. 🎉

Dive into the astonishing saga of St. Valentine, a story that transcends the fluffy, commercialized narratives we're spoon-fed each February 14th. It's a tale that marries defiance, love, and ultimate sacrifice, making those heart-shaped boxes seem a tad trivial in comparison.
🎖️ A Rebel with a Cause: Imagine a time when love was literally a battlefield. Enter St. Valentine, a priest with the audacity to defy Emperor Claudius II's ban on young lovers tying the knot. Why the ban? Claudius believed bachelor soldiers fought better than their hitched counterparts – a notion St. Valentine wasn't buying. He championed the Sacrament of Marriage, asserting its pivotal role in human and spiritual life, even when it meant staring death in the face.
💔 A Three-Part Tragedy: St. Valentine's commitment to love's cause led him to a grisly end: beating, stoning, and finally, decapitation. It's a testament to the enduring power of love and the sacramental bond of marriage. St. Valentine wasn't just facilitating secret weddings; he was laying down his life for the belief that love, blessed by the Church, is worth fighting for.
💌 The Original "Your Valentine": Locked away, St. Valentine's legend grew through his correspondence with a young girl. Curing her blindness, their exchanged letters – signed "Your Valentine" – became love's timeless essence. This gesture not only reminds you of the lost art of letter-writing but also Valentine's deep conviction in the personal sacrifice for love.
📜 A Call to Endurance: Reflecting on Valentine's and St. Paul's sufferings, we're invited to ponder the place of hardship in our lives. Is suffering merely an obstacle, or can it be a pathway to transcendence and deeper union with God? Pope St. John Paul II, in his encyclical Salvifici Doloris, shows suffering as a means to surpass our limits and embrace our divine destiny.
🔥 A Lenten Challenge: As we start Lent, St. Valentine's story urges us to consider our sacrifices not just as acts of deprivation, but as transformative, love-driven endeavors aimed at combating sin and fostering personal sanctity.
In the grand tapestry of Catholic saints, St. Valentine emerges not just as the patron of lovers but as a warrior for the sanctity of marriage, a bearer of hope, and a martyr for the faith. His story, etched in the annals of Christian history, challenges us to look beyond the superficial and discover the profound, sacrificial nature of true love. So, this Valentine's Day, let's remember the man, the myth, the martyr who showed us that love is worth fighting for, even unto death.

Guest host Brooke Taylor is joined by her guest Melody Lyons to discuss the importance of preparing for Lent. Rebecca Dussault joins Trending to share her journey as a Catholic wife, mother and Olympic athlete.
Trending with Timmerie takes you deep into the heart of the internet's latest obsession: the budding romance between pop icon Taylor Swift and football superstar Travis Kelce. With the world watching, speculation runs wild: Will Kelce bend the knee with a ring if he clinches the Super Bowl?
🎶🏈 The duo has been under the digital microscope, sparking debates and fake news alike – from engagement rumors to baby talks, all of which Kelce humorously dismisses, focusing solely on his Super Bowl aspirations. Yet, behind the celebrity sheen lies a deeper cultural conundrum that Timmerie keenly observes: Why does the idea of Swift and Kelce speeding towards engagement ignite such fervent opposition?
The sight of Swift cozying up with Kelce's mom had minds racing – is this moving too fast? Yet, this rapid progression isn't just about celebrity timelines; it's a mirror reflecting society's complex relationship with commitment, marriage, and the very foundation of family life.
❤️ Amidst our collective love affair with love stories, Timmerie suggests a paradox: while we cheer for romance, the prospect of marriage and, more profoundly, family life stirs deep-seated fears. It's as if society is caught in a whirlpool of wanting "happily-ever-afters" but dreading the sacrifices they entail – from dealing with personal and familial flaws to facing the monumental responsibility of parenthood.
Marriage, as Timmerie enlightens, is the beginning of a grand, albeit challenging, adventure. It's a divine call to transform, to embrace a mission larger than oneself – a theme resonant throughout history. This transformation, symbolized by a change of name in marriage, signifies a readiness to embark on life's most rewarding journey: family.
👨👩👧👦 Timmerie peels back the layers of societal skepticism surrounding marriage, highlighting the beauty and permanence of the commitment. She shares insights from older couples, whose enduring love stories stand as testaments to the power of faith, fidelity, and the willingness to weather life's storms together.
As for Swift and Kelce, their whirlwind romance, whether it heads down the aisle or not, serves as a poignant reminder of what truly matters: finding someone willing to dive into the depths of commitment, to sacrifice, to grow, and perhaps, to build a family. In a world quick to cynically swipe left on the idea of lasting love, their story invites us to ponder the possibility of saying "yes" to life's greatest adventure.
As you await the next chapter in the Swift-Kelce saga, let's reflect on our own views of love, marriage, and the courage to embrace the fullness of life. After all, in the grand tapestry of human experience, it's love, commitment, and the joy of sharing life with another that weave the most enduring stories.
Now, over to you: Are you team #SwiftKelce, or do you find yourself pondering the deeper implications of their high-speed love story?
Dr. Michelle Cretella, a respected pediatrician and researcher, delves into the rarely discussed, irreversible harms associated with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender transition surgeries. Her insights shed light on a controversial topic, offering a much-needed medical perspective on treatments increasingly offered to young individuals struggling with their gender identity.
Puberty: A Vital Developmental Stage, Not a Disease
Dr. Cretella emphasizes the natural importance of puberty, a critical period for physical, psychological, and emotional development. She warns against the premature halt of this process through puberty blockers, highlighting the deprivation of normal growth experiences and the irreversible damage done to children's bodies and minds. It's a stark reminder from her: puberty is "not a disease" to be cured but a natural stage of human development.
The Unspoken Consequences: Bone Health, Brain Development, and Fertility
The conversation unveils concerning evidence on the long-term effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, including severe bone density loss leading to osteoporosis and increased fracture risks in adulthood. Furthermore, Dr. Cretella raises alarms about potential cognitive impairments and the disturbing reality of induced infertility in young patients. These interventions, she argues, not only disrupt natural bodily functions but may also sterilize children—a grave concern echoing themes of eugenics and population control under the guise of therapeutic intervention.
A Call to Compassion and Ethical Responsibility
Dr. Cretella's message is clear and urgent: the medical community and society at large must reconsider the approach to treating gender dysphoria, especially in children and adolescents. The push towards irreversible treatments without fully understanding the long-term consequences is, in her words, "evil." This poignant discussion calls for deeper compassion, ethical responsibility, and a commitment to truly helping individuals struggling with their identity without resorting to potentially harmful and life-altering procedures.
🙏 Let Us Pray for Wisdom and Compassion
As we navigate these challenging waters, may we seek wisdom, understanding, and above all, compassion for all individuals, especially the most vulnerable among us. Let's pray for guidance in finding ways to support those struggling with their identity, in a manner that respects the dignity and sanctity of every human life.

Timmerie dives deep into the fascinating yet complex world of Neuralink, Elon Musk's groundbreaking brain-chip technology. At the heart of this discussion is a tantalizing question: What does the future hold with Neuralink? Imagine controlling a computer with your mind, no hands needed! This isn't sci-fi; it's the promise of Neuralink, aiming to revolutionize how we interact with technology and potentially transform medical treatment for conditions like Parkinson's, epilepsy, and Alzheimer's.
Timmerie doesn't shy away from the ethical crossroads presented by Neuralink. With every giant leap in technology comes a labyrinth of moral dilemmas. Could this tech, designed to connect human brains to computers, pave the way for unprecedented advancements or lead us down a path of ethical quandaries and privacy concerns?
The Good, The Bad, and The Ethical 🌐🔍
Timmerie and guest Hugh Brown of the American Life League peel back the layers of Neuralink's potential. From miraculous medical treatments to the chilling prospects of "consensual telepathy," the conversation spans the spectrum of hope to horror. Imagine a future where paralysis and debilitating conditions are things of the past. But at what cost? In a world grappling with profound moral challenges, from abortion to human commodification, can we trust ourselves with the power to merge mind and machine?
Faith, Ethics, and The Future of Humanity 🙏🔬
Timmerie doesn't just explore the technological marvels of Neuralink; she plunges into the ethical implications, asking tough questions about the role of suffering, the sanctity of free will, and the essence of human dignity. The Church's perspective, emphasizing prudence and the virtuous use of technology, offers clarity in navigating these turbulent waters.
A Call for Prudence and Prayer 🕊️💡
The potential to alleviate suffering is immense, yet so are the risks of undermining the very fabric of our humanity. In a world enamored with the possibilities of transhumanism, we must ask: Just because we can, does that mean we should?
The Verdict: A Journey of Discovery and Discernment 🌟🛤️
As Neuralink strides toward a future where the boundaries between mind and machine blur, we're reminded of the profound responsibility that comes with such power. The dialogue between faith and science, ethics and innovation, has never been more critical. Join Timmerie and dive into the heart of these discussions, where the future of humanity hangs in the balance.
Are we ready for Neuralink? Only time will tell. Stay tuned, stay informed, and above all, stay engaged in the conversation. The future depends on it.

Creation has its own goodness and proper perfection, but it did not spring forth complete from the hands of the Creator. The universe was created "in a state of journeying" (in statu viae) toward an ultimate perfection yet to be attained, to which God has destined it. We call "divine providence" the dispositions by which God guides his creation toward this perfection: By his providence God protects and governs all things which he has made, "reaching mightily from one end of the earth to the other, and ordering all things well". For "all are open and laid bare to his eyes", even those things which are yet to come into existence through the free action of creatures.

Catechism of the Catholic Church 1023-1029:
1023 Those who die in God's grace and friendship and are perfectly purified live for ever with Christ. They are like God for ever, for they "see him as he is," face to face:598
By virtue of our apostolic authority, we define the following: According to the general disposition of God, the souls of all the saints ... and other faithful who died after receiving Christ's holy Baptism (provided they were not in need of purification when they died, ... or, if they then did need or will need some purification, when they have been purified after death, ...) already before they take up their bodies again and before the general judgment — and this since the Ascension of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into heaven — have been, are and will be in heaven, in the heavenly Kingdom and celestial paradise with Christ, joined to the company of the holy angels. Since the Passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, these souls have seen and do see the divine essence with an intuitive vision, and even face to face, without the mediation of any creature.599
1024 This perfect life with the Most Holy Trinity — this communion of life and love with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed — is called "heaven." Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness.
1025 To live in heaven is "to be with Christ." The elect live "in Christ,"600 but they retain, or rather find, their true identity, their own name.601
For life is to be with Christ; where Christ is, there is life, there is the kingdom.602
1026 By his death and Resurrection, Jesus Christ has "opened" heaven to us. The life of the blessed consists in the full and perfect possession of the fruits of the redemption accomplished by Christ. He makes partners in his heavenly glorification those who have believed in him and remained faithful to his will. Heaven is the blessed community of all who are perfectly incorporated into Christ.
1027 This mystery of blessed communion with God and all who are in Christ is beyond all understanding and description. Scripture speaks of it in images: life, light, peace, wedding feast, wine of the kingdom, the Father's house, the heavenly Jerusalem, paradise: "no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him."603
1028 Because of his transcendence, God cannot be seen as he is, unless he himself opens up his mystery to man's immediate contemplation and gives him the capacity for it. The Church calls this contemplation of God in his heavenly glory "the beatific vision":
How great will your glory and happiness be, to be allowed to see God, to be honored with sharing the joy of salvation and eternal light with Christ your Lord and God, ... to delight in the joy of immortality in the Kingdom of heaven with the righteous and God's friends.604
1029 In the glory of heaven the blessed continue joyfully to fulfill God's will in relation to other men and to all creation. Already they reign with Christ; with him "they shall reign for ever and ever."605

Hell
1033 We cannot be united with God unless we freely choose to love him. But we cannot love God if we sin gravely against him, against our neighbor or against ourselves: "He who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him."610 Our Lord warns us that we shall be separated from him if we fail to meet the serious needs of the poor and the little ones who are his brethren.611 To die in mortal sin without repenting and accepting God's merciful love means remaining separated from him for ever by our own free choice. This state of definitive self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed is called "hell."
1034 Jesus often speaks of "Gehenna" of "the unquenchable fire" reserved for those who to the end of their lives refuse to believe and be converted, where both soul and body can be lost.612 Jesus solemnly proclaims that he "will send his angels, and they will gather . . . all evil doers, and throw them into the furnace of fire,"613 and that he will pronounce the condemnation: "Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire!"614
1035 The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, "eternal fire."615 The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs.
1036 The affirmations of Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church on the subject of hell are a call to the responsibility incumbent upon man to make use of his freedom in view of his eternal destiny. They are at the same time an urgent call to conversion: "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few."616
Since we know neither the day nor the hour, we should follow the advice of the Lord and watch constantly so that, when the single course of our earthly life is completed, we may merit to enter with him into the marriage feast and be numbered among the blessed, and not, like the wicked and slothful servants, be ordered to depart into the eternal fire, into the outer darkness where "men will weep and gnash their teeth."617
1037 God predestines no one to go to hell;618 for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and in the daily prayers of her faithful, the Church implores the mercy of God, who does not want "any to perish, but all to come to repentance":619
Father, accept this offering
from your whole family.
Grant us your peace in this life,
save us from final damnation,
and count us among those you have chosen.620
Have you memorized all of the 12 Days of Christmas song? Did you know that these themes in the song had a deeper Catholic meaning? Prepare to get the song stuck in your head as you dive deep into some catechetical truths!
Timmerie unveils the song's potential role as a secret catechism tool during times of Catholic persecution in England (1558-1829). This joyous melody might have served as a covert means for Catholic children to learn and remember their faith.
Here's a breakdown of the hidden Catholic meanings in each verse:
- Partridge in a Pear Tree: Jesus Christ, the self-sacrificing savior.
- Two Turtle Doves: The Old and New Testaments, symbolizing the continuity and revelation of God’s word.
- Three French Hens: The theological virtues - Faith, Hope, and Charity.
- Four Calling Birds: The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
- Five Golden Rings: The Torah (first five books of the Bible.)
- Six Geese A-Laying: The six days of creation.
- Seven Swans A-Swimming: The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.
- Eight Maids A-Milking: The Beatitudes
- Nine Ladies Dancing: The fruits of the Holy Spirit, condensed for memorability.
- Ten Lords A-Leaping: The Ten Commandments
- Eleven Pipers Piping: The eleven faithful Apostles (excluding Judas who betrayed the Lord.
- Twelve Drummers Drumming: The twelve articles of faith in the Apostles' Creed.
Timmerie challenges you to not just enjoy the melody, but to delve into the rich tapestry of faith these verses represent. Try to work on memorizing all of these important aspects of our faith! It's an invitation to rediscover the depth and joy of the Catholic Church, especially in times of trial. 🌟🎵🙏

Catechism of the Catholic Church 1023-1029:
1023 Those who die in God's grace and friendship and are perfectly purified live for ever with Christ. They are like God for ever, for they "see him as he is," face to face:598
By virtue of our apostolic authority, we define the following: According to the general disposition of God, the souls of all the saints ... and other faithful who died after receiving Christ's holy Baptism (provided they were not in need of purification when they died, ... or, if they then did need or will need some purification, when they have been purified after death, ...) already before they take up their bodies again and before the general judgment — and this since the Ascension of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into heaven — have been, are and will be in heaven, in the heavenly Kingdom and celestial paradise with Christ, joined to the company of the holy angels.

If you're confused about the latest Vatican document “Fiducia Supplicans," Timmerie and LMFT Michael Gasparro unpack it for you so you can get some clarity and understanding. The big question? Can same-sex unions be blessed by the Church? The answer, straight from the Vatican's pen, is a nuanced exploration of blessings, sacraments, and Church teachings.
🔍 The Misconception: Media outlets are buzzing with the idea that the Catholic Church now endorses same-sex marriages or blessings for these unions. But hold your horses! The document from the Vatican clarifies this isn't the case.
🙏 Blessings for All: Yes, anyone can receive a blessing - that's a big, resounding yes from the Church. But here's the kicker: a blessing is not an endorsement of lifestyle choices that go against Church teachings. It's more about seeking God's grace and mercy, regardless of one's life situation.
👨👩👧👦 Family and Faith: The document dives deep into the history and theology of blessings, from parents blessing their children to priests bestowing blessings in their first year of priesthood.
📜 Sacrament vs. Blessing: A significant distinction is drawn between sacraments (like matrimony) and blessings. Sacraments have specific doctrinal and liturgical frameworks, while blessings are more about invoking God's presence in various life situations.
🙌 Blessing ≠ Approval: The Church emphasizes that a priestly blessing is not an acknowledgment or condoning of lifestyles contrary to Church teachings. It's about praying for God's intervention and grace in one's life.
The document is crystal clear - same-sex unions or relationships cannot and will not be blessed in a way that suggests the Church's approval.
💬 The Takeaway: The Church is not green-lighting same-sex marriages or equating them with sacramental marriages. Instead, it's reiterating the universal call to God's mercy and grace while maintaining doctrinal fidelity.
📣 Message to the Media: The media is clearly not helping you to get the truth. You know that it's often about advancing an agenda. Timmerie and Michael Gasparro criticize mainstream media for blurring the lines and misrepresenting the Church's stance, urging you to dive into the document themselves for a clear understanding.
In short, the Church is standing firm on its teachings, while also extending the olive branch of blessings to all, in the hope of guiding everyone closer to God's love and truth. 🕊️✨

Why are so many young people celebrating the fact that they don't have kids? Does this upset you? There could be more to the story.
Timmerie reflects on the DINK lifestyle, a term coined for "Dual Income, No Kids." Social media has been buzzing with viral TikTok videos of couples celebrating their child-free existence, boasting about their freedom, ample sleep, and disposable income spent on luxuries like fancy lattes and exotic vacations.
🤔 Timmerie's Insightful Takes:
- Beyond the Surface: Timmerie urges listeners to pause their judgment. She points out that many couples might opt for the DINK lifestyle not out of selfishness but due to fertility struggles like PCOS or thyroid issues.
- Culture's Impact: She highlights the prevailing 'you do you' mindset and social media's influence, which encourages sharing life's highlights while masking the struggles. This creates a veneer of a carefree, glamorous life without children.
- Deeper Wounds and Defiance: Timmerie suggests that the DINK lifestyle might stem from wounds or defiance. For some, it's a response to infertility or a conscious choice rooted in their own challenging family backgrounds.
- Lack of Exposure to Family Life: She notes a generational gap in exposure to family life and children. Many in her generation grew up with limited interaction with children, influencing their perception of family life.
- The Joy of Parenthood Overlooked: Her husband’s perspective adds a poignant touch, highlighting the joy and fulfillment parenthood brings, which DINK advocates might not fully appreciate due to their own experiences or lack thereof.
- Cultural Tension: Timmerie looks at the cultural tension between having and not having children, showing how DINK advocates might be defending their lifestyle amidst criticism.

St. Nicholas Day – How to Celebrate
Catechism of the Catholic Church onHope
1817 Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ's promises and relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit. "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful."84 "The Holy Spirit . . . he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life."85
1818 The virtue of hope responds to the aspiration to happiness which God has placed in the heart of every man; it takes up the hopes that inspire men's activities and purifies them so as to order them to the Kingdom of heaven; it keeps man from discouragement; it sustains him during times of abandonment; it opens up his heart in expectation of eternal beatitude. Buoyed up by hope, he is preserved from selfishness and led to the happiness that flows from charity.
1819 Christian hope takes up and fulfills the hope of the chosen people which has its origin and model in the hope of Abraham, who was blessed abundantly by the promises of God fulfilled in Isaac, and who was purified by the test of the sacrifice.86 "Hoping against hope, he believed, and thus became the father of many nations."87
1820 Christian hope unfolds from the beginning of Jesus' preaching in the proclamation of the beatitudes. The beatitudes raise our hope toward heaven as the new Promised Land; they trace the path that leads through the trials that await the disciples of Jesus. But through the merits of Jesus Christ and of his Passion, God keeps us in the "hope that does not disappoint."88 Hope is the "sure and steadfast anchor of the soul . . . that enters . . . where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf."89 Hope is also a weapon that protects us in the struggle of salvation: "Let us . . . put on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet the hope of salvation."90 It affords us joy even under trial: "Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation."91 Hope is expressed and nourished in prayer, especially in the Our Father, the summary of everything that hope leads us to desire.
1821 We can therefore hope in the glory of heaven promised by God to those who love him and do his will.92 In every circumstance, each one of us should hope, with the grace of God, to persevere "to the end"93 and to obtain the joy of heaven, as God's eternal reward for the good works accomplished with the grace of Christ. In hope, the Church prays for "all men to be saved."94 She longs to be united with Christ, her Bridegroom, in the glory of heaven:
Hope, O my soul, hope. You know neither the day nor the hour. Watch carefully, for everything passes quickly, even though your impatience makes doubtful what is certain, and turns a very short time into a long one. Dream that the more you struggle, the more you prove the love that you bear your God, and the more you will rejoice one day with your Beloved, in a happiness and rapture that can never end.95

2332 Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul. It especially concerns affectivity, the capacity to love and to procreate, and in a more general way the aptitude for forming bonds of communion with others.
2333 Everyone, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual identity. Physical, moral, and spiritual difference and complementarity are oriented toward the goods of marriage and the flourishing of family life. The harmony of the couple and of society depends in part on the way in which the complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are lived out.

Teen girl is accused of cutting her newborn’s throat article https://people.com/nebraska-teen-16-accused-of-cutting-her-newborn-s-throat-8401216
You may have been saddened to hear about singer Sabrina Carpenter recently releasing a very inappropriate music video. It's important to be aware that the video for her song "Feather" is something your kids should stay away from.
Timmerie discusses the controversial music video and criticizes the video for its desecration of a Catholic church and its portrayal of toxic themes. She describes the video's storyline, which involves Sabrina Carpenter attending a funeral for men who fought over her and includes a scene where she kills a man for taking her photo without consent.
Timmerie expresses her shock and disapproval of the content, mentioning how it promotes negative traits like vengeance, manipulation, and self-centeredness. She contrasts these with virtues such as humility, forgiveness, and charity, encouraging young women to embrace these positive values. Timmerie stresses the importance of using one's beauty and femininity for good, establishing healthy boundaries, and engaging in acts of charity and humility.
Don't give up hope! Be sure to pray for Sabrina's conversion and for young women to pursue virtue in today's toxic culture.

CCC 2115 “...Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.
CCC 2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future. 48 Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.”

You may have a deep devotion to St. John Paul II. How has his life inspired you? Did you have a personal encounter with him?
Timmerie reflects on his life and legacy, sharing personal stories and historical insights about his remarkable life. She begins with a family story about her uncle, a deacon, who met the Pope and experienced a profound moment of connection and humility in his presence.
Timmerie then delves into his early life, marked by personal loss and the backdrop of the bloodiest century in human history. She highlights his resilience in the face of adversity, from the death of his family members to living through Nazi and Communist regimes. Despite interruptions in his studies and seminary, he preserved culture through underground theater and secretly studied to become a priest. Can you only imagine going through everything he encountered?
Pope St. John Paul II is portrayed as a symbol of freedom and hope, embodying the joy of the Gospel despite immense suffering. Timmerie touches upon his love for the outdoors and his unconventional way of ministering to young people by camping in the woods.
Timmerie emphasizes this great saint's dedication to truth, freedom, and the formation of young people, highlighting his impact on the couples he counseled and his unexpected rise to bishop. Timmerie's reflections paint a picture of Pope St. John Paul II as a beacon of hope and a testament to living a life of faith and freedom amidst challenging times.
It’s All Saints Day inspiring the stories and lives of St. Alphonsus Liguori (1:38) and Pope St. John Paul II (27:27).

Abortion deeply hurts women, and so often they feel forced into getting one. The pain, trauma, and heartache that women face after abortion is often ignored by the media, but the facts remain. Abortion is not pro-woman.
In a recent episode of "Trending," Timmerie reflects on the revelation that pop icon Britney Spears underwent an abortion in her teenage years, an experience she deeply regrets. This information surfaced ahead of the release of her memoir, where Britney candidly discusses the profound emotional turmoil and post-abortion suffering she faced. She recounts her relationship with Justin Timberlake, emphasizing his unwillingness to embrace fatherhood at the time. Spears even connects the theme of her song "Every Time" to this traumatic experience, with lyrics that poignantly depict her emotional struggle and the haunting loss of her child. Watching her past performances, it's evident that the pain of her abortion weighed heavily on her, influencing her behavior and mental well-being for decades. Timmerie points out the importance of men stepping up during these challenging times of unplanned pregnancy.
Drawing from Britney's experience, she advocates for the need to provide support and resources for women who've had abortions, emphasizing the importance of healing.

Healing from Abortion
https://supportafterabortion.com/
Do you know someone who struggles with gender ideology? You may feel confused, conflicted, and not sure of how to show true compassion. You can get sound encouragement and advice in this podcast.
In the clip of "Trending with Timmerie," the main focus is on the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding the body and soul, especially in the context of the contemporary gender identity crisis. Key points from Timmerie include:
- Identity Crisis: The modern world is facing an identity crisis where individuals are questioning their identities, beliefs, and purpose. There are some who hate their bodies and who God created them to be. This is not limited to the transgender community but is pervasive across different groups of people.
- The Body and Soul Unity Document: The San Francisco Archbishop Salvador Cordileone and Oakland Bishop Michael Barber released a joint document titled "Body and Soul Unity of the Human Person." It emphasizes the teachings of the Catholic Church on human sexuality, gender, marriage, and their implications for the gender crisis.
- Gender Ideology: The document acknowledges the rise of gender ideology in today's society. This ideology is seen as contrary to the Church's teachings as it denies aspects like male and female differences, the unity of body and soul, and the anthropological basis of the family.
- Body-Soul Unity: The Church emphasizes the unity of body and soul, asserting that one cannot be a different gender trapped in a body. The belief is that body and soul are created together at conception, making them inseparable.
- Image of God: Being male or female is seen as a divine creation and is viewed as a good, willed by God. The complementary nature of males and females is understood to reflect the Trinitarian nature of God.
- Challenge of Gender Ideology: The Church acknowledges the challenges faced by those struggling with their gender identity. While the Church stands by her teachings, it also stresses compassion and love towards everyone.
- Compassion vs. Approval: An essential distinction is made between being compassionate towards someone and approving of their choices or behavior. True compassion, according to the Church, involves both truth and charity.
- Guidance for those with Gender Dysphoria: For those experiencing gender dysphoria, the Church recommends approaching the issue with a combination of understanding the teachings of the Church, seeking genuine Christian charity, and focusing on the truth about the human person. The emphasis is on loving the person while not necessarily endorsing every choice or behavior.

Catholics are called to vote NO on Issue 1 in Ohio—
Ohio is fighting over the so-called right to abortion through all nine months of a woman’s pregnancy. If passed, kids would have a state constitutional right to sex-change treatments and abortions without parental notice. A no vote is necessary to protect women, children, and babies.

Mark 12:24-27
“Is not this the reason you are wrong, that you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they take neither wife, nor husband, but are like angels in heaven “
…
“ and as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, and the story about the bush, how God said to him, “I am the God of Abraham, the god of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? “He is not god of the dead, but of the living.”
Have you met people who think that abortion is only wrong in the last trimester? Sadly, some don't realize that abortion is a grave injustice regardless of how old the baby is in the womb. There are others who aren't even aware that abortion is actually legal at 9 months. The level of apathy is heartbreaking, and it should compel us all to action.
Because of an email she received, Timmerie debunks the misconception that abortion is not legal throughout all nine months of a woman's pregnancy in the United States. She points out that states like California, Vermont, and Michigan have constitutional amendments allowing unfettered access to abortion even in late-term pregnancies. Timmerie challenges the argument that abortions mostly occur in the early stages of pregnancy, emphasizing that the size and fragility of the baby should not determine the acceptability of abortion. She criticizes the tendency to justify abortion based on the baby's level of development and highlights the importance of acknowledging the inherent value of every human life, regardless of age or dependency. A baby is a baby, no matter how small.
Energy and crystals – What’s the big deal? Can you use them as Catholics? Bryan Mercier author of Counterfeit Spirituality joins Trending. (1:33) Timmerie debunks the claim that no where in the United States is abortion legal through all 9 months of a woman’s pregnancy. (41:59) She also addressed the pro-abortion lie that women with Type 1 diabetes can’t have children.

God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.
All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers.
They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone

Do you think that high school seniors are getting more conservative or more liberal? Well, it's complicated.
Timmerie tells you about a long-standing survey called "Monitoring the Future" that examines the political beliefs of high school seniors and their potential implications.
The most recent survey indicates that high school boys are twice as likely to identify as conservative compared to liberal. Conversely, high school girls are twice as likely to lean towards liberalism. Timmerie notes that this trend is more pronounced among young women after the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, leading to increased radicalization on issues like abortion and feminism.
As young women become more radicalized, some men are also shifting towards conservative values. However, Timmerie expresses concern about a potential negative aspect, where some young boys might be adopting a "ticked off conservative mindset" as a reaction to perceived societal injustices, possibly leading to feeling hurt, angry, and defensive.
So, what can we learn and how should we respond? Should we encourage young men to give into the bitterness? Not exactly.
Timmerie highlights the importance of focusing on masculinity with integrity, mentorship, and skill development, rather than just adopting combative conservative stances. Similarly, for young women, she advocates for nurturing and validating desires for motherhood and marriage at an early age, while going against the feminist message of our time.
Lillian Fallon, author of Theology of Fashion, unpacks the significance of fashion in Pope Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body.

Special Podcast Highlight - Listener Discretion Advised
Check out this interview with a mother named Erin Friday who shares her experience with her daughter's transgender identity. Erin explains that her daughter was indoctrinated in her public school to believe she was born in the wrong body. The daughter went through various identities and eventually identified as transgender after spending time online and discovering transgenderism. Erin criticizes the education system for encouraging an existential crisis in children and promoting the idea that discomfort with one's body means they should be transgender.
Erin mentions that her daughter is now comfortable in her female body and no longer identifies as transgender. However, she believes her daughter may not fully understand the "evil forces" and ideology behind transgenderism. They discuss the influences that impacted her daughter, including the public school system, social media, pornography, and anime. Erin warns about the dangers of anime, which can lead to exposure to cartoon pornography and put children at risk of being targeted by pedophiles.
Erin recommends alternatives to smartphones, such as flip phones, and emphasizes the need for parents to have access to their child's devices and regularly check them. She also suggests resources for parents dealing with gender identity struggles: books like 'Desist, Detrans, & Detox: Getting Your Child Out of the Gender Cult' by Maria Keffler, and a movie originally called "First Do No Harm" about detransition and families.

Catechism of the Catholic Church: on Divination and magic
2115 God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.
2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future. 48 Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.
2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others -- even if this were for the sake of restoring their health -- are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another's credulity.

2332 Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul. It especially concerns affectivity, the capacity to love and to procreate, and in a more general way the aptitude for forming bonds of communion with others.
2333 Everyone, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual identity. Physical, moral, and spiritual difference and complementarity are oriented toward the goods of marriage and the flourishing of family life. The harmony of the couple and of society depends in part on the way in which the complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are lived out.

Happiness, while a vital part of being human, can come from different sources. As Catholics, our happiness can be traced back to God, and the contentness in that belief. However, looking at the Humanism movement, they have a very different perspective...
We dive into the rationale that Humanists have for justifying not just their beliefs, but further, how they attempt to justify their personal happiness without connecting it to God.

Morning prayer, depending on your perspective, is probably either a) a peaceful, focused beginning to your day, or b) a challenging, dazed endeavor to simply accomplish the task at hand. And while prayer is always great thing, I think we can all agree that the former is a better choice for everyone involved... :)

As much as stress is a natural phenomena, and one that can aid us in critical moments, our culture today has developed an overt tendency to make even benign concerns ones that fuel a disproportionate level of stress. This unnecessary stress has had many knock-on effects throughout our society, but none more visible or concerning than the epidemic of anxiety disorders among schoolchildren...
We break down why this has become such a pervasive issue today, then unpack the ineffective means through which stress is generally treated currently, and finally introduce the ultimate solution -- turning back to God, and especially through prayer.

Friendships can sometimes feel very fulfilling -- almost to the point that they feel 'permanent' or 'unbreakable' in our minds. Although friendship is important for all of us, it's critical that we understand it's purpose in our lives -- and when it begins to encroach on marriage...

Culturally, the confusion that has arisen from the use of artificial birth control has become far-reaching, and spawned many individually-nuanced disconnects between biological truth and societal preference.
Recently, this reality of what women have been given a biologically innate desire toward -- motherhood -- has led to a growing number of instances on social media where this truth has shown itself, albeit in alarming ways...

With the epidemic of identity crises reaching a fever pitch among young people in particular, and further exacerbated by the introduction of the 'Metaverse', where identities are further clouded by the intentionally loose connection to anything truly real, it's about time we start talking about a remedy!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and although Breast Cancer has many different causes & exists within many different variants, two infrequently-covered risk factors are: 1) having an abortion; and 2) being on hormonal birth control. While this might be a surprise for some, the science is really quite clear about this...

"Just because we can do something, does that mean we should?"...
This is a question that should be very much on our minds as we think about what IVF, and even further so, Reciprocal IVF, really represent for us; are these procedures scientific progress? Or, are they really just a (cloaked) step backwards?
We dive into the many variable at play, but keep a special focus on the glaring issue with all forms of IVF -- the number of abortions that occur regularly through the discarding of "unwanted" or "unfit" embryos...
For many (most?) of us, it's alarmingly easy to be dissuaded from interjecting into a discussion with a non-Catholic relevant elements from our Faith. This can be the case for many reasons, but it's important that we recognize both the calling that we have as Catholics to share the Gospel, and the opportunity that the Holy Spirit has given us to do so in these exact moments!
We dive into how to evangelize, and bring the Gospel into these discussions, but also how to recognize when continuing to do so in a given interaction might be counter-productive...
While it’s never going to be fun or easy, it’s absolutely critical that we have an open dialogue with those around us, and most especially our spouse. If we don’t get out in front of issues that are bothering us by sharing them with our spouse, resentment will inevitably build, leading to much bigger problems down the line. However, we have to remember that it never needs to get this far to begin with…
We sit down with Sr. Tina Alfieri, whose many roles include spiritual direction, sexual addition therapist, and recovery coach. She shares her experience in working with these couples, and identifies strategies to help safeguard relationships from these obstacles altogether!

Frequently nowadays, our culture looks to disparage the idea of family -- in nearly every way imaginable. This has led to knock-on effects that have corroded nearly every facet of our society and created innumerable hazards for those growing up in this environment.
However, we can't forget that hope is not -- and never will be -- lost. We're beginning to see rumblings of a renaissance online and in our communities of desire for the traditional organization and structure of families!
In this segment, we examine the critical model of the family as demonstrated by the Holy Family, and more specifically, the confident, self-sacrificing leadership of St. Joseph, and what Catholic men and fathers can learn from his example.

The danger of temptation is really quite difficult to fully realize -- according to an exorcist. While not as "spectacular" as possession, the nature of temptation is that of a worm on a hook. To a fish, the worm may be delicious, but little do they realize the ugly reality behind its presence.
For us, learning to recognize the metaphorical "worm" also allows us to caution ourselves against the terrifying truth of the "fishing rod" that the devil and the demonic cast out systematically throughout our lives, and to instead turn toward the Lord when confronted with these near-occasions.
Listen as we walk through a word of advice from exorcist Fr. Francois Dermine on how to avoid the demonic by steering away from temptation!

Some people believe that saying “yes” to a request that they don’t want to fulfill automatically makes it a sacrificial offering, while simultaneously believing that saying “no” is akin to a rejection of sacrifice.
While both of these can be true at times, in general, saying “yes” isn’t a good thing if what you were asked to do isn’t something that you should do…
We cover both the how and the why of saying “no”, and some guideposts as to how to judge these situations!

For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their responsibility.”

Episode on pheromones and how men and women relate to each other
https://relevantradio.com/2022/09/pheromones-how-men-women-relate-to-each-other-2/
It's a simple question, but it doesn't always have a simple or straightforward answer. For many of us, it's easy to get lost in the intricacies of what each day brings, and have a different answer depending on the day. However, the value that having a clear morning routine that is focused on prayer, taking a moment to breathe, and connecting with loved ones cannot be overstated!
Try it yourself -- tomorrow morning, don't pick up your phone immediately after waking up, and instead take a few minutes to make your morning offering in prayer to God. When you're done, have a conversation with someone close to you, and really focus on connecting with them. Finally, when you're ready to begin the rest of your day, take a minute or two and simply breathe deeply -- and just like that, the day is barely underway, and you're already ahead!

We dive into the lessons and life of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and how we can prayerfully bring peace and consolation into our lives, for good!

By that charity wherewith thou wert united to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of 4 God, and by that fatherly love with which thou didst cherish the Child Jesus, we beseech thee and we humbly pray that thou wilt look down with gracious eye upon that inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by His blood, and wilt succor us in our need by thy power and strength. Defend, O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen off-spring of Jesus Christ. Keep from us, O most loving Father, all blight of error and corruption. Aid us from on high, most valiant defender, in this conflict with the powers of darkness. And even as of old thou didst rescue the Child Jesus from the peril of His life, so now defend God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity. Shield us ever under thy patronage, that, following thine example and strengthened by thy help, we may live a holy life, die a happy death, and attain to everlasting bliss in Heaven. Amen.

(St. Patrick’s Breastplate Prayer)The Lorica of Saint Patrick
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth and His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In preachings of the apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.
I arise today
Through God’s strength to pilot me;
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s hosts to save me
From snares of the devil,
From temptations of vices,
From every one who desires me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a multitude.
I summon today all these powers between me and evil,
Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man’s body and soul.
Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that reward may come to me in abundance.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation
