In this episode of the Catholic Life Coach Podcast, I share my reflections from my visit to Lisieux, France—and on the inspiring life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as the Little Flower. We visited Thérèse’s childhood home, garden, and basilica, and we were deeply inspired by our time there. It was a beautiful spiritual experience.

I reflected on the beauty of being part of God’s "garden". Each of us are unique, yet essential. I talk about how St. Thérèse’s “Little Way” teaches us to embrace humility, simplicity, and trust.

🪞Reflection Question While You Listen

Where in your life is God inviting you to trust Him in the waiting?

Holiness often grows in the hidden and slow places. God works powerfully in the waiting, even when it feels like nothing is happening.
