Jennie is a Catholic Life Coach, Podcaster, Weekly Radio Show Host on Nashville Catholic Radio, Speaker and founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle. After 26 years of working in Catholic education, Jennie felt God calling her "to step out of the boat" to serve in a new way. In her new ministry as a Catholic Life Coach, she now equips and encourages middle-life moms to reconnect with who they are and their unique God-given purpose so they can embrace midlife with joy and confidence.
In this episode of "Catholic Moms in the Middle," Jennie welcomes Dr. Bob Schuchts to share about his ministry, the John Paul II Healing Center and to discuss healing. Healing from God can occur physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Many people tend to believe that healing is not possible for them due to various circumstances or that it only happens to others. Jennie and Dr. Schuchts discuss the main reasons people doubt or resist God’s healing in their lives.
In his book, Be Healed, Dr Schuchts begins by asking “Do you want to be healed?” This question refers to the man who sat by the healing pool for years. Jesus asked him if he wanted to be healed, which is a question we should each ask of our own needs and brokenness. Many times desiring healing and being open to the actual healing are two different things. One of the biggest obstacles to healing is shame and unworthiness. Inner healing may occur by peeling back layers of lies, sin and wounds to discover your true identity in Christ. Years of pain and suffering can be healed by revealing and releasing the lies of the Enemy.
In the show, Jennie and Dr. Schuchts discuss different types of trauma and how they can impact each person. Their conversation highlights the importance of recognizing trauma and wounds in your life, emphasizing that trauma can emerge from both absence (Type A trauma) and negative experiences (Type B trauma). The two discuss shame, unworthiness, and how these emotions can affect your sense of identity. Dr. Bob stresses the significance of facing these emotions, seeking their roots, and inviting the Holy Spirit to bring healing and transformation.
Dr. Schuchts touches on the upcoming "Healing the Whole Person" retreats and "Day of Equipping" events organized by the JP II Healing Center. These events offer opportunities to explore and experience God’s healing in various areas of their life.

In this heartfelt conversation, Paul and Teresa Davis share their poignant journey of grief after losing their son, Kevin. They describes Kevin's vibrant personality and the close bond he shared with his older brother, Phillip. Tragically, during Kevin's junior year in college, he passed away in an accident while on spring break. The news devastated the community, and the Davises were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from friends, family, as well as their church and school communities.
The community's love and kindness became a source of comfort during their darkest moments. Schools, churches, and friends offered prayers, held gatherings, and even organized events in Kevin's honor. Paul and Teresa were touched by the stories of how Kevin had impacted others' lives and the numerous "Kevin Cents" they received, confirming his continued presence in their lives. They found solace in their faith, holding onto the belief that they will be reunited with Kevin one day.
While grief brought moments of anger and questioning, their faith ultimately guided them toward acceptance and gratitude. The couple channeled their grief into positive actions, establishing an endowed scholarship and a "Raise Your Glass" event in Kevin's memory. The scholarship has helped numerous students in need, fostering a sense of joy and fulfillment in the Davis family, knowing Kevin's legacy continues to touch lives.
The Davis family's story emphasizes the power of a faith-filled community and how it can provide unwavering support during times of grief. By cherishing memories, embracing grief, and finding strength in faith, Paul and Teresa demonstrate the transformational power of love and resilience in the face of loss.

Rosemary Geiger, joined Jennie as a guest on the Catholic Moms in the Middle podcast. She shared about her involvement in a ministry called Magnificat. Magnificat is a ministry for women that offers encouragement and support through the Holy Spirit. Rosemary has been involved in Magnificat for over 30 years. Her first encounter with Magnificat occurred when she attended a meal in San Diego, where she was deeply touched by the personal testimonies of the speaker. As the speaker shared their story Mary had a mystical experience with the Blessed Mother. This inspired her to share her faith which led to her starting her own Magnificat chapter in North San Diego.
Leaving behind her friends and family in California was difficult for Rose Mary, but her spiritual advisor encouraged her to “step out of the boat” and go where God was calling. When Rosemary moved to Nashville, she initially found out that another Magnificat chapter was already being formed. Even though she was disappointed, she immersed herself in her parish's women's ministry and organized events like retreats and prayer breakfasts. During this time, she also discovered another ministry, The Seven Sisters Apostolate, which focuses on praying for priests. Rose Mary jumped into this ministry and has a team of over 400 women praying for the priests around the diocese of Nashville today.
In the show, Rosemary emphasizes the transformative power of the Magnificat Ministry and how it brings women together, providing a sense of community, support, and understanding. The meals include praise and worship, personal testimonies, and hands-on prayer. The ministry encourages women to use their gifts and talents to contribute, whether through prayer, decorating, greeting, or other forms of service.
Rosemary spoke of the impact Magnificat has had on women's lives, including providing hope, healing, and a sense of belonging. The testimonies shared during the meals help women realize they are not alone in their struggles and that others have faced similar challenges. The ministry has also played a role in facilitating conversions and supporting women who have experienced hardships like abortion.
Rosemary highlighted the upcoming Magnificat meal in Nashville, featuring Father Don Calloway and subsequent meals with speakers like Judy Zeldin, Christine Watkins, and Bishop Mark Spaulding.

We can choose to listen to lies or we can turn our ears to the truths of God.
Jesus identified Satan as “the father” of lies. Satan’s job is to make you doubt God’s goodness. Any type of lying or misleading is in opposition to God. God is goodness, purity and truth. Lying exaggerates and twists the truth, damaging relationships, creating uncertainty, self-doubt and unworthiness. You only have to look at the first book in the bible to see that a lie of deception is the first lie recorded. Satan, as the serpent, deceived Eve by telling her that God was lying and hiding something from her. In Genesis we read, “Then the serpent said to the woman, ‘You will not surely die. For God knows that on the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil’”
So, what are the lies that you might believe? The lies that are subtle or so common that they seem like the truth? We are going to look at three of them. Listen to this week's podcast to learn more about the lies you often tell yourself!

In this podcast, Catholic Moms in the Middle Coach, Jennie Guinn, helps you to understand perfectionism. Recognizing signs of perfectionism is the first step. The goal is not to get rid of it because perfectionism can serve you. It could be a special quality to help you live your unique purpose. Being aware of when perfectionism is holding you back through procrastination, all or nothing thinking or comparing and despair will allow you to redirect your thoughts and actions so that you don’t stay stuck in beating yourself up. You can do this by embracing gratitude, practicing self-compassion, and acknowledging your own strengths and accomplishments to help combat the negative effects of comparison and foster a healthier perspective.
Romans 15 says, Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. – Romans 15:7
Listen this week to see if you tend to be a perfectionist...you just might be surprised.

In this podcast, Catholic Moms in the Middle founder, Jennie Guinn talks about the needed to belong. As she works with moms in mid-life, many women struggle to find where they belong as the transition into this new phase of life. Belonging refers to the sense of connection and acceptance within a group or community. It involves feeling recognized, understood, and valued by others who share a common identity, purpose, or set of values. Belonging provides a feeling of security, support, and connectedness, making individuals feel at home and understood. It can manifest in various aspects of life, such as family, friendships, social groups, organizations, and cultural or religious groups.
Belonging is important for emotional well-being, providing positive emotions like happiness, fulfillment, and contentment. Jennie offers several personal stories about belonging that most people can relate to. Belonging offers support, acceptance, and validation, allowing individuals to share their experiences and seek help when needed. Belonging also provides a sense of security, stability, and protection within a larger community, reducing feelings of uncertainty or isolation. Furthermore, the need for acceptance and inclusion is inherent in humans, and belonging fulfills this need by allowing individuals to feel accepted and included in social settings.
Belonging can have a transformative effect, as seen in examples like the stories of Zacchaeus and the Woman at the Well in the Bible. In these cases, belonging came before changes in beliefs and behavior, highlighting the power of belonging to open the door for transformation and redemption. Society often labels people based on their lifestyle. By reaching out to others with a sense of belonging, it is possible to bridge divisions and create a more inclusive and compassionate society.

In May, Jennie and Gary celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary and reflected on the challenges and transitions they experienced over the past year. It was a year filled with major life transitions. They became empty nesters as their youngest son graduated and went off to college. They also lost Gary's mother, who had been in assisted living and passed away after a major stroke. When she went into assisted living they began cleaning out Gary's childhood home which was full of memories and lots of stuff. Clearing out her house proved emotionally and physically demanding. On a positive note, Jennie and Gary became grandparents to a baby girl, which brought them immense joy. At the end of 2022, Jennie's parents sold their house and moved in with them.
Throughout these ups and downs, Jennie and Gary emphasized the importance of their faith in navigating the challenges. They relied on prayer and their relationship with God to find guidance and strength. They both acknowledged that sometimes the right words or actions might elude them, but through prayer, they believed that things would work out. Attending Mass regularly became a non-negotiable for them, as it provided grounding and nourishment for their lives. Jennie and Gary found solace in receiving the Eucharist and felt that it fueled them to be better parents, grandparents, friends, and caretakers. Their faith was what kept them grounded as they experienced the highs and lows of each transition.

Hey Friends, we are in a heat wave….it is so hot outside and it is only June. Hopefully, this is not an indication of what the summer is going to look like.
I recently saw this quote on a church sign, “we are just walking each other home.” As I said the words over and over in my mind, I realized what a powerful statement it was. When you look at our lives from the simplest point, our goal is to get one another to Heaven. Everything you do outside of that is simply busy work.
As I thought about this quote, I thought the word home could have a couple of translations.
First home could mean, rediscovering who you are at your innermost being, your heart and soul. Our world is so busy. You are constantly being pulled in a million different directions. You get on the hamster wheel of life searching for the next promotion, more money, the next new car, more things for your closet, or whatever shiny object catches your eye. You begin living your life from the outside in rather than from the inside out. You place your value and worth in material goods and in other people's approval. This means it is never good enough, you have to run faster and faster on the hamster wheel to keep up with today’s culture. It is exhausting and you may find yourself feeling more and more empty, experiencing very little joy because you are focused on the wrong things. I often have clients who tell me that they should feel happy because they have everything…. A nice house, a great family, they have all the stuff, they travel but something is missing. They are searching but can never find that shiny object that fills them up.
Guess what, you can fill your house with the latest and greatest objects until it is bursting at the seams, but happiness can still allude you. What your heart and soul need are not new objects, but space for prayer, being filled at church, and fellowship with others on the same journey towards heaven.
I am hosting a summer challenge with a group of women. The very first question I gave them as we set their goals and intentions for the challenge was very simple, but required deep thought.
What do I need right now?
Do you ever ask yourself this question? Do you allow yourself to answer this question? Most of the time you probably assume what you need based on what you think society would say or how you compare your life to others.
When you find yourself searching for the next shiny object, it is because there is hole you are trying to fill. You need something, but it isn’t a thing. You are trying to find your way home, back to who you are and who you are called to be.
All of the busyness and stuff distract you from how you feel on the inside. Maybe they cover up feelings of unworthiness, unhappiness in your relationships, fear, self-doubt or even self-loathing for mistakes you’ve made in the past.
So, how do you make it back home to yourself, so you can live without the burdens you’ve placed on your shoulders?
First, ask yourself “what do I need?” When you find yourself ready to hand over your credit card for that next purchase or checking facebook to see how many likes or shares you’ve gotten ask yourself….what do I really need in this moment? What feeling am I pushing away…anger, unworthiness, anxiety? It is ok, to feel all of those feelings. Those feelings aren’t negative until you act on them in a negative way. They certainly don’t feel good when you experience them in your body, but feelings cannot hurt you. When you just sit with a feeling and allow yourself to feel it without acting, you connect with yourself. You allow yourself to live from the inside out. Give yourself permission to fill that need that you have with what you truly need, connecting with your heart and soul…your home within.
Maybe you need to give yourself permission to step off the hamster wheel…..to stop, to rest, to relax, to have fun, to simply do nothing but enjoy nature, to float in the pool, read a good book, to journal, spend time in a quiet church, to sit around the kitchen table with your family, to work in the yard, to set boundaries with your work schedule, to find a good spiritual book, to purge instead of buying more, or saying no so that your schedule isn’t always packed…What do you need? This is what will bring you back to your home….the heart and soul of who you are? In this home is where Jesus lives in you. It is where the Holy Spirit guides you. Home will give you a new perspective on your life. It will help you see clearly what is most important to you and what you can release in your life.
“We are just walking each other home”
This journey towards home is not meant to be a journey that we take alone. As you are searching to get back to your home base, who you are at your innermost being, you don't have to go alone. Imagine a group of people walking into a football stadium, they are all going in to watch the game, but not everyone is there for the same team. In fact, as you walk in together you see fans in their team's color. Now you may sit beside someone cheering on the other team, but you both want your team to win. You are both hoping for different outcomes. Think about the people in your life, how many people around you are headed in the same direction as you but hoping for a different outcome. Who do you want beside you on your journey? Who do you want guiding you home?
Imagine that there are three circles in front of you. There is a small circle surrounded by a larger circle and then a bigger circle around them both. Almost like a bullseye. That inner circle are the people who are closest to you. Maybe your spouse, your children, your immediate family or a close friend. There might only be a few people in your inner circle. These are the people who love you, who want the best for you and who will give you tough love when needed. This inner circle contains your biggest cheerleaders and those who help you find your way home even when you wander off your path. Who are the people in your inner circle? You get to decide who those few people are. These people are precious to you. You want to protect these people and keep them close.
As you think about these people, Do you allow them to guide you on your walk home? Do you listen to them?
Now, you have a role to play for them as well. Your job is walk them home. To encourage them, to make time for them, to share your faith with them. These are the people who will help you step off the hamster wheel and discover what you truly need in your life.
Now, let’s look at the next circle. It is bigger than your inner circle. This circle contains other family members or close friends. These are people you trust, people you spend time with, people you enjoy, people who inspire and motivate you. Who is in this circle for you? These people are also walking you home and in return you are walking them home. It is important to make sure that whoever you allow in this circle is helping you to move in the right direction. Just like a football game, you want to be walking beside people who want the same outcome as you. In this circle you want to surround yourself with people who share their faith with you, people you can have honest conversations with, people who accept you as you are, people who will help you get home to Heaven. Like your innermost circle, you get to decide who is in this circle. Who are the people who build you up, who make you a better person? You may have to let go of some friendships or push them to the outer circle. Are there people in your life who bring you down, who are always a struggle to be around, who leave you feeling empty, who lead you in the wrong direction…if so, release those relationships. It is ok, to let them go. Stop forcing them to be different.
Finally, let’s look at this third circle…the biggest circle. These are people who are in your life for many reasons…maybe they are family, co -workers, friends in your neighborhood or community. These might be friends on FB or social media. These are people who come and go from your life, they don’t have the same impact on your life as the two smaller groups of people. The people in the third circle might or might not be part of your journey home, in fact they may lead you in the wrong direction if you aren’t careful. These are the people you try to impress and get “likes” from. These could be the people that you yearn to impress to get their approval. On the other hand, these people can add joy to your life. They can be fun to hang out with and have dinner with, but your conversations won’t be as intimate as those in your inner circle.
“We are just walking each other home”
Where is your home? How is your faith life? Do you spend time strengthening your faith. Are you going to church on Sunday with a grateful heart ready to give thanks for all of your blessings.
Think about the last time you went on a trip. You had to plan all of the details. You had to research plane tickets and check airlines for times and fares. You book accommodations that would have lots of amenities. You planned your days to see different places, you made reservations for meals or bought tickets for shows. Ahead of time you carefully packed and brought everything you needed for your journey.
Are you giving this amount of detail to your spiritual journey?
What if you looked at your life in the same way…you are on a trip of a lifetime heading to Heaven. What do you need to plan to get there? Who do you want traveling with you.
Here is the funny thing, when you go on a trip and even if you enjoy every minute of it and can’t wait to go back…there is nothing like getting back home. Home is where you find your innermost being. So you are on a journey home…home to who you are in your heart and soul which will lead you to your ultimate home…heaven.
Let’s pray.
Lord, help us to find you in the craziness of life. Help us to see your face above the distractions and noise. We ask that you give us the strength to release whatever holds us back from living the live you have designed for us. Let us seek your approval over the approval of others. Lord, please bless our families and those in our inner circles. Help us to love them like you would. We ask that you give us the strength to forgive others, but also ourselves for the times we have fallen short. Lord, you are always beside us on our journey, even when we stray. Help us to walk beside you so that in return “we can walk each other home.”
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen

In this podcast, I share how a recent Cursillo weekend caused me to step back and reflect on the direction my life is headed. I was able to step away from the busyness of the world to spend time with other women who were searching for a deeper relationship with Christ. The question, "what is the meaning of your life and which direction are you headed?" allowed me to step back and look at my life to asses that I was moving in the right direction. I share my reflection and encourage you to do the same.

In this podcast, I will share how emotions are a gift from God. We will explore how to recognize emotions, how to describe and be present with emotions, and observe what happens as you experience your emotions. An important question to ask is... Do your emotions lead you to vice or virtue?
Your emotions are created in your mind. They are dictated by your thoughts, your judgments, your opinions, your views and your outlook on the world. In the Catechism, Our Lord called man’s heart the source from which the passions(emotions) spring.
So, doesn't it make sense to spend time learning about emotions and how they impact your life?

Hey friends. Welcome to the Catholic Life Coach Podcast.
In today's podcast, I'm going to share with you why it is important to recognize the thoughts that are in your brain. We are unaware of the countless thoughts that go through our mind each day.
Scientists have discovered that the average person has, are you ready for this 50,000 to 60,000 thoughts a day? In fact, some studies have shown it to be even more. Research has also shown that you only recognize 5 to 10% of those thoughts. That means you were only aware of a small percentage of thoughts bouncing around in your brain.
You may be wondering why this is important to know. Well, your thoughts are the guiding force of your life. In Life Coaching, I teach my clients that their thoughts are the foundation for the life. Your thoughts create your feelings. When you have a thought about the weather, your lunch, your spouse, or traffic, it is the thought that is creating how you feel...
