Who said that being a Catholic Mom has to be hard? Is it possible to love God, love yourself, and love your life no matter what cross comes your way? Let me show you how living your faith can be simple and fun. I'll help you encounter God so together, you can turn your discouragement and frustration into the true joy and peace you've always wanted. Let's go!
In today's episode, I share with you how the underlying thought "I don't want to" comes in many different forms. At the end, this is the reason you're not hitting your goals. You start doing something and you stop - because you don't want to. I give you tips so you can take ownership of your thoughts, decisions, and actions so you can stop this cycle. So you can drop your identity that you don't stick with anything.
In today's episode, I have some fun with you all and have you imagine two sides with a river in between. One side has your expectations and what you should be doing and the other side is where you are. When you think you know better, its useless and doesn't help your journey to spirituality. Knowledge is necessary, but you need your identity to make it across the river to where you want to be.
In today's episode, I ask you to allow space to figure out what is at the bottom of offering it up.

I share with you how you can take steps to offer yourself as you are to God which will ultimately lead you to peace and joy among the crosses of everyday life.
In today's episode, I share how thinking "I don't know" can spin you in confusion, frustration and overwhelm. I teach you what you can do instead so you make intentional and powerful decisions that lead you to a God-centered life you love.

I'm relying too much on me on not enough on Him.
I also share how the lessons I learned 4 years ago in Lent that prepared me to obey His last minute request.
In today's episode, I discuss how fasting and losing weight can go in hand in hand during Lent. I often see Catholic Moms discouraged about fasting when they have weight to lose. They think and have been told, they shouldn't want to lose weight or they shouldn't diet during Lent. I explain how taking control of what you eat to fuel your body can not only be in the spirit of fasting, but also will help you FIND the time to pray because you won't be focused on food all the time.
