Advent draws us into a kind of waiting that’s active, hopeful, and deeply human. In this episode, we explore how holy waiting mirrors the slow, interior work of healing — in ourselves, in our relationships, and within our families.

We share how waiting became a core part of our own story: navigating old patterns, living in the tension of the “not yet,” and learning to trust that God works in hidden places long before change becomes visible.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What Advent teaches us about waiting with expectation
• The difference between holy waiting and passive endurance
• Why healing unfolds slowly and why that’s aligned with Catholic anthropology
• What is and isn’t worth waiting for in your own healing
• How to stay grounded when transformation feels delayed
