• 69 | Too Busy to Discern Your Purpose as a Catholic Mom? Begin Here
    May 26 2026

    Are you struggling to discern your purpose in the middle of motherhood and feeling like there’s never enough time to focus on what God may be placing on your heart?

    As a busy Catholic mom, it’s easy to feel consumed by the responsibilities of daily life—leaving little space for prayer, devotion, Bible study, hearing God, or even slowing down long enough to reflect on His plan for your life.

    In this episode, we’re talking about the tension so many Catholic women feel between motherhood, overwhelm, and the desire to pursue their God-given purpose. You’ll walk away encouraged to stop waiting for the “perfect season” and begin taking small faithful steps with God right where you are.

    If you’ve been feeling spiritually distracted, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin, this conversation will encourage you to trust in God, spend intentional time with Jesus, and seek clarity one step at a time.

    Whether you’re driving, folding laundry, or in the middle of mom life, take a deep breath, press play, and let’s do this together.

    I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!

  • 67 | Saying “Yes” to Everything to Find Your Purpose? Here’s Why You Still Feel Stuck
    May 12 2026

    Have you ever found yourself saying “yes” to things, hoping one of them would finally reveal your God-Given purpose?

    Maybe you feel God calling you to something more… but you’re unsure what that actually is or how to discern it. So you keep searching, trying different things, and hoping clarity will come.

    In this episode, we’re talking about why that approach may actually be keeping you stuck—and the shift many Catholic moms are missing when it comes to discernment, purpose, and trusting God’s plan for their lives.

    We’ll explore the tension between what the world says about purpose versus what God may actually be inviting you into, and why constantly trying new things can leave you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and disconnected from the peace you’re looking for.

    Whether you’re driving to school pickup, folding laundry, or hiding in the pantry for a quiet moment as a Catholic mom… let’s do this.

    I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!

    May 5 2026

    Have you ever sat down for Bible study… craving something deeper?

    Or maybe you’ve found yourself wondering… What is my purpose, God?

    …while spending time in Bible study and longing for clarity.

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing how to turn your Bible study into a conversation with God so you can hear Him more clearly through His Word.

    If you’re a Catholic mom who desires to grow closer to God, deepen your faith, and better understand how to hear His voice in your everyday life—especially as you seek clarity, direction, and purpose—this episode is for you.

    We’re diving into why this matters, how it can shift the way you approach your time with God, and how your Bible study can become an even deeper space for connection, devotion, and clarity.

    Because Bible study isn’t only about reading Scripture… it can also become a meaningful place to slow down, spend time with God, and grow in understanding His guidance for your life.

    Grab your Bible, reheat your hot beverage (and maybe fold that laundry), and get ready to discover how God may already be speaking to you.

    I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!

  • 62 | I Know I’m Meant for More… But What? How to Start Discerning Your Purpose with God
    Apr 7 2026

    Do you feel like you’re meant for more… but have no idea what that “more” actually is?

    Do you want to follow God’s plan—but feel unsure what He’s actually calling you to?

    Do you feel stuck in the daily rhythm of motherhood, wondering if there’s something more for you? You’re not alone—and more importantly, you’re not stuck.

    Purpose can feel just out of reach, especially for busy Catholic moms who are juggling everything from laundry to late-night snack for the kids. We feel like we’re meant for something more, yet we’re stuck in the daily grind, unsure of how to actually move forward.

    In the middle of busy motherhood—between laundry, errands, and everything in between—it can feel nearly impossible to slow down and hear where God is leading.

    But here’s the truth:

    You don’t need more time.

    You need the right approach—one that invites God into the process.

    In this episode, I’m sharing a simple, faith-centered way to begin discerning your God-given purpose—so you can stop guessing and start being led by God with clarity and peace.

    If you’ve ever thought, “I want to follow God’s plan… but I don’t know what that is,” this episode will give you a clear place to start.

    So whether you’re folding laundry or driving around town—press play and take your next step with God.

    I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!
