#26 Self-Care and the Importance of healthy Boundaries

Ranked top 5% globally
 Are you a successful and well-rounded individual, but are lacking spiritual fulfillment in your life?  Do you consider yourself to be Christian, and grew up Catholic, but your family never really practiced?  And, maybe they did.  But, as an adult, you have become totally withdrawn from the Church?  Have you experienced trials and tribulations and have sought out answers except for the Faith?  But, you would like to learn more to see if the Catholic faith is a path you'd like to consider?   
If this is you?  You are in the right place.  I want to encourage you to take time to explore your Catholic Christian Faith.  I want to remind you that you are a loved, valued and an integral part of the Catholic Church Family founded by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  And, there is nothing he wants more than to welcome you home.
Hi, I am Cathy Jo Lang, daughter of The One True King.  And, I am excited to welcome you to “The Unplanned Joyful Life” podcast.  I am a practicing Catholic who recommitted to my Catholic Christian faith after experiencing a mental health crisis over 30 years ago.  I suffered a severe postpartum depression that required a 3 week hospitalization and caused me to be away from my newborn baby at a time that he needed me the most.  
When recovering from the depression, I searched for any and all help to deal with the guilt, shame and condemnation this experience brought.  And, in order to decrease my chances of going through another mental health crisis, I decided to search, understand and embrace my Catholic Christian Faith.  And, it was there, that I experienced complete healing, wholeness and transformation, never to suffer a depression again.  
Through our Catholic faith, Jesus became the firm foundation on which my husband, Steve and I were able to build a beautiful family, full of love, life and purpose for our children and grandchildren.
And, although I would like to say to that we never experienced a trial or tribulation since.  In 2019, we suffered the tragic lost our beautiful son Michael Robert at the age of 26.  Michael suffered from a rare and chronic health condition without a sufficient medical diagnosis.  This illness caused him chronic pain, fatigue, and isolation amongst many other symptoms, too many to mention.  And, although his passing was devastating, we were able to receive God's healing, grace and provision through the mourning and grief we suffered as a family.   
I never thought I could get through the loss of a child.  And, I don't wish that hardship on anyone.  But, because of our Catholic Christian Faith, Steve, myself and our other two children, Stephen and Elizabeth were able to lean on, trust in and practice the one true faith, Catholicism.  And, although it took the love, provision and healing power of God, as well as the support of our family and friends, we were able to experience peace, hope and love in the midst of tragedy.  We know that Michael is with Jesus.  And, we look forward to the day that we will meet and embrace him again in our Heavenly Home.  
Besides being wife, mom and grandmother, I am a Certified Professional Life Coach, Public Speaker and Podcast Host of The Unplanned Joyful Life.  I grew up in a loving but alcoholic and dysfunctional family.  After going to group counseling with my family at the direction of our parents, I felt hope and excitement for the idea that change is possible.  I saw my parents make significant transformation over time in order to bring health and wellness back to our family.  And, I've been on a mission to live my best life ever since.   In this podcast, I’ll provide valuable insights to help you delve into  the Catholic Faith, bring better understanding to the Church, it's practices and the benefits you will receive when practicing it on a regular basis.  All this will help you become the best version of yourself.  I will share “tried-and-true” tips and tricks for creating a God-centered home for you and your family.  You will hear real-life examples of how to incorporate Catholic Christian values, Regular Self-Care, and Community Involvement in order to bring confidence, stability, and joy back into your life.
So, If you want to understand and embrace your Catholic faith, foster healthy relationships, and pursue goals and dreams that ignite your spirit,  I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.  You will hear from other Catholic Christians as they share their personal journey of faith, as well as professionals who will share their area of expertise with you. Together, we’ll grow in knowledge, faith and grace to help you navigate “The Unplanned Joyful Life” with happiness and purpose! So, take a deep breath, find a comfy spot, and listen in.  We're going to do this together!
