Join Danielle Bean and guest host Allison Gingras for a heart-felt conversation about how moms can manage when their kids leave the faith.

How can we support our big kids, even when they make decisions about their faith lies that we don't approve of? How can we handle to heartbreak and sometimes the feelings of failure that come from having an adult child reject his faith?

This week, Danielle Bean chats with author and social media expert Sherry Hayes-Peirce about devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus? What is this devotion and where does it come from? What promises are associated with devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus?

In this week's show, Lisa and Danielle share some of their favorite memories of Christmas as a child, and, more recently, as an adult. From family plays to special mealtimes, the best memories are not about spending money or achieving "perfection" in any way. They are about simple times spent with loved ones during the holiday season.

This week we are talking about observing the season of Advent simply. It can be so hard to prepare for Christmas and yet maintain a sense of "family peace" this time of year. Danielle and Lisa share ideas for ways to add prayer to your daily routines, find your Advent wreath, and get all that shopping done -- without losing your mind.

This week, Lisa & Danielle discuss ways to make gratitude a habit in your life and set a good example of gratefulness all year round.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

The elections are over, but has the tone of our discourse online, in places like Facebook and Twitter, changed from one of division and anger to one of unity and love? Probably not quite yet.

In this week's show, Lisa and Danielle discuss the negativity we all encounter online, and what our response, as wives, mothers, and Catholics, ought to be.
