Peaceful Mind Podcast For Catholic Moms

This Simple Discipline Always Protects Your Peace In this episode, I'm sharing a one-word response that's helped me hold onto peace, even in the small, messy moments of everyday life. It's something inspired by a line from Jesus Calling, and now it's become a habit that grounds me when things don't go as planned. I'll talk about: The phrase I say when life throws curveballs Why it's not about indifference, but holy release How this discipline builds the strength we need for bigger challenges This is one of those small shifts that can make a big difference. Try it this week and see what happens.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 152. The Best Way To Tackle Your To-Do List 165. Making Peace With Worst Case Scenario 196.

The Keep Going Fallacy Have you ever told yourself, "I just need to keep going..."? In the middle of full schedules and long to-do lists, especially around the holidays, it's easy to believe that we have no choice but to keep going. But what if that "just keeping going" mindset is actually costing you peace? In this episode, I'm sharing what I call the Keep Going Fallacy: the idea that quitting or pivoting means failure, when sometimes it's actually the most faithful, aligned, and peaceful decision you can make. You'll hear: Why hustle culture gets it wrong (especially for moms) How to tell the difference between real commitment and auto-pilot 5 powerful questions to help you decide whether to keep going, pivot, or pause Why giving something up doesn't mean giving up on yourself And I'll walk you through how to move forward with clarity, whether that means continuing with fresh intention or choosing a new path. This episode is for the mom who’s spinning her wheels, trying so hard to hold it all together. You’re allowed to pause. To breathe. To ask what’s really serving you—and to change your mind with grace.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 69. The Need For Rest 81. Before You Burn Out 84.

How To Be Still And Know God You've probably seen Pslam 46:10 stitched on a pillow or printed in pretty script, "Be still and know that I am God." And if you're anything like I used to be, maybe that verse doesn't feel comforting, it feels heavy. Like a command you're constantly failing to follow. Who has time for stillness? Not when there's dinner to cook, laundry to fold, kids to juggle, and a mind that never stops spinning.  But what if being still isn't about doing nothing, but about becoming aware? What if it's less about stopping and more about remembering? In this episode, I'll talk about: What stillness actually looks like in a busy mom life (hint: it's not a silent retreat) The guilt and pressure we sometimes attach to spiritual practices, and how to let that go How your kids benefit when you model inner calm Why awareness might be the key to knowing God in your everyday life Three simple ways to bring more stillness to your week, even with a full plate If you've ever looked at that verse and thought, "That's not possible for me," this episode is for you. Let's quiet the noise, just for a moment, and remember who is really in control.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 31. Peace Over Perfection 56.

The Excuses Keeping You Stuck (And How To Break Free) What's really holding you back from the changes you want to make in your life? If you're like most moms I coach, you probably know what you'd love to do differently, but your brain keeps handing you reasons it can't happen yet.

You'll hear: The "Hall of Fame" excuses that keep smart, capable moms stuck and how to recognize your own Why not changing is actually costing you more than discomfort of growth How to shift your relationship with time, money, and energy so they stop being barriers to change The real reason your brain cling to familiar patterns, even when your miserable I'll walk you through my full No More Excuses Framework, which includes practical and mindset-based shifts you can start today, even if life feels overwhelming right now.

How To Talk To Your Kids About Food and Body Image What we say about food, exercise, and our bodies matters more than we realize - especially when our kids are listening. In this week, I'm joined again by Dr. Tiffany Watson (check out her previous guest appearance here), my own health and nutrition coach, to have a deeply needed conversation about how to foster healthy, peaceful attitudes around food and body image. We dig into the messages our children pick up from what we say (even casually), and how we can begin to reinforce those conversations with more awareness and intentionality. We talk about: What your child's inner voice is learning from the way you talk about food and your body Everyday phrases that unintentionally cause harm and how to shift them Five powerful mindset shifts you can begin using right away (no shame required) Subtle red flags to watch for in your child's behavior that may signal food anxiety or body image struggles Whether you have young kids, teens, or want to rewrite the narrative you were handed, this episode will help you speak and live from a more empowered place. Dr. Tiff also shares her new book, Your Unique Fizeek, designed to help girls build identify and confidence on things that last, not just the way they look.

How To Create Joy Even If Every Day is Chaos I used to believe that joy was something I had to earn - something that waited for me on the other side of a clean house, calm kids, or a to-do list that was finally finished. But here's what I've learned after years of motherhood and coaching:  Joy isn't waiting for you at the end of the chaos. It's available inside it. Even on the hard days. Especially on the hard days. In this episode, I'm sharing what it looks like to create joy - not by chasing perfect conditions, but by shifting how we see the ordinary moments of motherhood.  Here's what we'll talk about: Why your everyday chaos might be the exact place God wants to meet you with joy The real difference between happiness and joy, and why it matters in motherhood How to reframe messy, loud, and unpredictable moments as sacred work Five practical mindset shifts to stop chasing calm and start choosing joy now God isn't waiting for you to get it all under control before He offers joy. He's offering it to you right in the middle of your everyday chaos. Let this episode be your invitation to start looking for it.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 77.

7 Ways To Beat Overwhelm And Find Balance Not too many years ago, overwhelm was my normal. I thought it was just part of motherhood. Something you managed, muscled through, or waited out. But what if it's not just something to manage, but something to understand and shift? In this episode, I'm sharing seven powerful mindset and lifestyle shifts that helped me go from drowning in mental clutter to creating a life that actually feels peaceful, even when it's busy. These are the exact things I turn to when I feel the overwhelm spiral creeping in. And they're the same tools I've shared with countless other moms who are ready for something different. You'll learn: Why doing more isn't the answer, and what to do instead. The question I ask to cut through the chaos and get back to clarity A powerful way to redefine what "good enough" means How small tweaks in your routine can create big space for peace What I had to unlearn about asking for help (and how it changed everything) Overwhelm still shows up from time to time. But now, I know what it's trying to tell me. It's not a failure. It's not a flaw. It's just a signal that something needs to shift. And the beautiful part? I get to choose how I respond. And, so do you. Listen to learn how.   If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 28. Overcoming Overwhelm 192. How to S.T.A.R.T.

Let Go Of The Hustle: Embrace The Calm There was a time when I wore busyness like a badge of honor. My days were full (overflowing, really, but not in a good way) and yet I felt like I was constantly chasing something just out of reach. The more I did, the more disconnected I felt.  Eventually I found myself asking: what am I rushing toward...and what am I missing on the way? In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shifts and practices that helped me release the pressure to do it all and start living with more calm, more intention, and more joy. If you feel caught in the swirl of motherhood this one's for you. I'll share Why your peace (not your productivity) is what your kids need most The cultural lies we've believed about busyness, value, and worth Practical ways to create margin, honor rest, and build daily rhythms How saying "no" to good things can open the door to the best things God didn't create you to live in overwhelm. You were made for peace, presence, and joy. Let this episode be a step toward that. And, if you're always tired of rushing and craving more calm I'd love to help. Whether it's inside my Busy to Balanced group program or through one-on-one coaching, we'll work together to create a life that feels more peaceful and aligned.

5 Mindset Shifts For A More Peaceful Life There was a time in life when I felt like I had to do it all right. Fix every problem. Control every outcome. Keep everyone happy and everything on track. But even with all that effort, I wasn't feeling peaceful.  But the more I've learned, the more I've realized: peace doesn't come from doing more or doing it perfectly. It comes from thinking differently. In this epiosde, I'm sharing five mindset shifts that have completely changed how I experience motherhood, and how I help my clients do the same.  I'll share The suprirsing mindset that brings more peace than fixing ever could A better goal than controlling your kids' outcomes  Two questions that will help you respond (not react) in emotional moments How to trade comparison for celebration in your parenting Why the pressure for perfect moments steals your chance for connection and what to aim for instead.

How I Lost 20 lbs. at Age 50 At 49, I felt something shift. My dad had passed. My kids were growing up and heading off to college. I was inching closer to 50, and I started to wonder: What if I gave myself the gift of health for this birthday milestone - not through pressure or hustle, but through care and consistency? In this episode, I'm not handing you a formula or a list of rules. Instead, I want to share what really happened - what I learned, what shifted, and what it looked like to change in small, 10% ways that actually felt doable. I'll share How I moved from "just interested" to truly committed Why small, consistent actions (like 10 minutes of movement) made the biggest difference What changed in my mindset, and why it mattered more than any meal plan How I lost 20 pounds and gained energy, confidence and peace The powerful role community, coaching, and support played along the way By the end, I hope you'll see what I now know for sure: You don't need a huge overhaul to change your health. You just need one doable step. One new thought. One shift in belief.

The Secret To Consistent Inner Peace There's a difference between having moments of peace, and living from a place of peace. And as moms, I know how often it feels like peace is just out of reach. Like maybe if the house was cleaner, or the kids were calmer, or if you could just get ahead on laundry...then maybe you'd finally feel it. But here's what I've learned: peace doesn't come from perfect conditions. It's something you can create even in the swirl of life. In today's episode, I'm sharing three guiding pillars that help me (and so many of my clients) experience real, lasting peace - right now.   I'll share Why peace isn't the absence of chaos A mindset shift that helps you let go of control without feeling like you're giving up What it actually looks like to be present (especially when your brain wants to race ahead) A better way to deal with mom guilt Tools you can use anytime you need to reset and come back to peace Peace isn't waiting for you at the end of a perfect day. It's something you can tap into right now. Start with one tool from this episode, practice it in a moment that feels hard, and then notice what changes.

How To Have A Softer Way Of Life There was as time in my motherhood when I was always on edge. I felt naggy, sharp, stressed, constantly snapping, or pushing my way through the day. I wasn't trying to be harsh, but with all the responsibilities and pressure, I didn't know how else to do life. It was hustle. It was grind. It was don't stop, just get through it. But deep down, I wanted something different. I wanted to to feel calm again. Connected. Kind. I wanted a softer way of life. In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means to live with softness, not as weakness, but as a more sustainable, peaceful, powerful way to mother and live.

Radical Responsibility For Your Peace (And Why It's Always Worth It) Recently, while coaching, a pattern started to show up. The moms I talked to felt stuck, frustrated, or exhausted. They were waiting on someone else to do something different so they could finally feel better. And I kept finding myself thinking: You're giving all your power away! Not in judgement, but in love. Because I've done it too. When peace feels out of reach, it's almost always because we're outsourcing it. We believe it depends on our kids' moods, our partner's habits, or someone else's approval. We're hoping someone else will say the right thing, change their behavior, make it easier. But the truth is, peace doesn't come from other people getting it right. It comes when we take radical responsibility for how we think, feel and show up. In this episode, I'm sharing: What radical responsibliity really looks like in marriage, motherhood and more How to recognize when you're stuck in blame mode Simple ways to take your power back, without pretending everything is fine And if taking radical respoinsibility feels like a lot, just start small. Notice one story where you're waiting on someone else to make you feel better. Then ask: What's one way I can take my power back in this moment? That's where peace begins.  If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 53. The Powerful Habit of Peace 217. 10 Lies Costing Moms Their Peace and Stealing Their Joy 226.

Breaking Free From Self-Pity You know that voice in your head that says "Of course this happened to me" or "Nothing ever goes my way"? That voice isn't protecting you. It's sabotaging everything you want. Most people think they're just "being realistic" when they rehearse their problems over and over. But there's a razor-thin line between acknowledging reality and drowning in it—and crossing that line is costing you your dreams, your relationships, and your peace. In this episode, I'm exposing the sneaky mental pattern that masquerades as honesty but actually traps you in a cycle of powerlessness. More importantly, I'll give you the exact steps to break free and reclaim your life—starting today. You'll discover: The shocking difference between processing pain and feeding it (most people get this backwards) Why your circumstances don't determine your emotional state (and the proof that will blow your mind) Practical ways to create peace, gratitude, and resilience, even when life feels messy If you're tired of waiting for your circumstances (or other people) to change before you feel better, this episode is for you.
