Catholic Women Now

On this episode of Catholic Women Now, Julie Nelson and Chris Magruder are joined by Catholic nutritionist, women’s health advocate, and author Florencia Moynihan, whose new book Made Good: Overcoming the Lies That Keep Women at War with Their Bodies was released January 20.

Florencia shares her personal journey through disordered eating, chronic pain, and healing through faith-filled holistic care. The conversation tackles common lies women believe—such as misunderstanding redemptive suffering, separating body and soul, and confusing self-sacrifice with self-neglect.

Florencia also introduces her practical FUEL Method for approaching health with freedom and peace: Flexible, Universal, Energizing, and Lovely.

On this episode of Catholic Women Now, Julie Nelson and Chris McGruder dive into the beautiful and often-misunderstood tradition of the Twelve Days of Christmas—the joyful season that begins on Christmas Day and continues through the Feast of the Epiphany.

The hosts reflect on faith lived out in everyday life, including encouragement, goodness, and visible Christian witness, before walking listeners through each of the twelve days. They explain the biblical and catechetical symbolism behind the classic Christmas song, rooted in Catholic teaching during times of persecution, and connect each day to Church feast days, saints, and key elements of the faith.

Drawing from family traditions shared by Sue Smith, they offer creative and practical ways to celebrate each day—whether with young children, teens, or adult families—through food, prayer, service, music, and fun. This episode is a perfect reminder that Christmas is not just one day, but a season meant to be savored, celebrated, and passed on.
