In this inspiring conversation Carrie sits down with watercolor artist, mother, and Catholic Life Coach, Talina Padilla, to explore what it truly means to find God in the everyday — through art, beauty, and ordinary life.

Born and raised a cradle Catholic in Monterrey, Mexico, Talina shares how her faith has been shaped by her parents, her experiences with Opus Dei, and the powerful influence of St. Josemaría Escrivá. She opens up about her journey of questioning, rediscovering, and deepening her relationship with God — and how painting became an intimate act of co-creation with the God.

Carrie and Talina also discuss:
 ✨ How Catholic coaching transformed their understanding of God’s love and how nothing is too big or too small for God; he loves to over-deliver and show up for us personally to shower us with His love
 🌸 The role of beauty in healing and prayer
 🙏 The story of St. Joseph’s surprising presence in Talina’s life
 💫 Why holiness and wholeness always go hand-in-hand

This conversation is a gentle reminder that God’s love is both infinite and intimate — often revealed in small, beautiful moments. Whether you’re an artist, a parent, or simply someone seeking to grow closer to God, this episode will inspire you to see His hand in everything you create and experience.
