Catholic Moms Made For Business

You Don't Need Any More Information (Yes, Really) — Building from Peace in 2026 Welcome to the Made for Business Show, where Catholic moms learn how to build a business from peace while raising kids. Today's episode is a mindset reset for 2026: You don't need any more information to achieve what God is calling you to do. If your brain is telling you, "I need one more course… one more strategy… one more training…" — this episode will lovingly (and firmly) call that out. What we cover Why we start associating "learning more" with "making more money" (and how it becomes a trap) How the "I don't know enough" thought creates panic… and panic blocks the Holy Spirit nudges Saints who changed the world without being "qualified" (hello, St. Catherine of Siena) The difference between playful learning vs. scarcity learning How to get back to your "factory settings": calm, clarity, and trust in God's timing A new thought to carry into 2026: "I have everything I need to be who He made me to be."

We dive into that whisper in your mind: "I should be further along." It's a seemingly innocent thought — and yet it can stall your business, steal your joy, and disconnect you from what God is really inviting you into. What we cover: Why thinking "I should be further along" feels like fact — and what that does to you Two common emotional responses: shame and anger — how each one blocks your progress What replacement thoughts you can lean into instead (hint: you are exactly where you need to be) Practical next steps: surrender + plant seeds = forward movement in your business You'll walk away with: A clearer view of how your thoughts shape your results A gentle but firm invitation to stop watering the "should-be" story A refreshingly realistic pep talk for the next right step Want more from this episode?

Is It Just Hard… or Is It Wrong? How to Know When to Make a Change in Your Business Episode Summary Every business has parts we don't love — emails, taxes, editing, cleaning up after an event. But sometimes, that icky feeling goes deeper. It's not just "ugh, I don't feel like doing this"… it's "something's off — this isn't right." In this episode, Sterling helps you learn the difference between everyday "I don't wanna" tasks and the Holy Spirit's nudge that something is out of alignment in your business or life. You'll discover how to slow down, listen to your intuition, and trust that God always provides a way out when something truly isn't right. You'll Learn: How to tell the difference between normal work resistance and a deeper misalignment Why your "icky" feelings are sometimes Holy Spirit alarms, not laziness What it looks like to shift your business schedule or offers peacefully How to trust that God will provide when you let go of the wrong client or offer The importance of believing that you deserve a business that fits your life and season Favorite Quote "When something is really out of integrity for you, the Lord will keep tapping you on the shoulder saying, 'Hey, this isn't right.' And I want you to listen to that." Connect This to Your Faith God doesn't call us to build businesses that drain us. He calls us to build from peace, trust, and alignment with Him. When something feels off — stop, pray, and believe that He's already paving a better way.

Do you secretly worry that having too much money might hurt your faith, your family, or your soul? In this episode, Sterling unpacks the sneaky ways your brain tries to "protect" you from wealth—and why that might be sabotaging your business growth. You'll learn: Why your brain prefers familiar pain over unknown success The real meaning behind "a camel through the eye of a needle" How to notice when your body freaks out about money Why some Catholics feel afraid of wealth (and how to heal that) How to get "clean" about the amount of money you actually want Sterling shares her own stories—like why her body tenses up at $200 million but feels totally peaceful at $10 million—and helps you get honest about your number, your beliefs, and your comfort level with money. This conversation will help you invite the Holy Spirit into your money mindset so you can steward wealth with peace, purpose, and freedom. 🎧 Tune in now and start shifting your relationship with money today.
