It can be easy to think and feel like our prayers and spiritual fasting are not working. That we're not losing weight or seeing the miracles exactly like we prayed for.

However, the Father is always working and whether we realize it or not, our prayers and spiritual fasting are impacting the lives of the people around us.

Today, my wonderful client, Kathy Gonzalez, shares her inspiring journey of giving up sugar, flour, and alcohol, experiencing spiritual and health benefits, and finding a supportive community through my coaching program, Delay and Pray.

We discuss tips for holiday cooking, the importance of thoughtful reflection, and embracing personal challenges.

Tune in to discover how you too can transform your life by "making food small and life big."

Women can learn a lot about the vocation of motherhood from contemplative nuns. Whether a woman's vocation is to be a mother in the context of married life or the spiritual motherhood of religious life, both vocations have Our Lady as their source and inspiration.

Both vocations involve a life of sacrifice and humility.

Dr. Mary Cuff, author of Mother to Mother, shares how this book came about on today's episode. Her book introduces all moms to contemplative nuns who offer their insight into the common struggles of motherhood.

Through a question-and-answer format, these nuns from various monasteries give wisdom gained from their cloisters and offer it to mothers who are present in the domestic Church.

This is Part 2 of my summer of pilgrimages! In this episode, we continue our pilgrimage journey into Spain and France.

What started in Portugal led us to the awe-inspiring Coimbra University, the hallowed Cathedral of Saint James, and the breathtaking Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes.

Through heartfelt experiences and historical revelations, we encountered the profound spirituality and miraculous events surrounding these sacred sites.

It was a summer of pilgrimages! It began with an International Marian Shrine Pilgrimage and ended with a national pilgrimage for the Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, Indiana.

On the Pilgrimage of Hope, through Portugal, Spain, and France, our Catholic faith and sense of history were deepened as we studied the apparitions of the Blessed Mother and the footsteps of the Apostles and Saints.

We prayed, fasted, and wept at many tombs of great Saints. This is part 1 of a 2-part series, as there is so much I want to share with you about my experience on these pilgrimages.

This episode is a recording of my interview on the Mamas in Spirit Podcast with Lindy Wynne. We talked about my journey from dieting to prayer and fasting and how I discovered the art of Delay and Pray™.

Lindy's podcast is a retreat-style podcast and she gets very personal with her questioning so that we can enter into the sacred space of mission where Jesus feeds us with His love.

I hope you find it interesting and inspiring so that you, too, can shift from vanity to sanctity - from the diet mentality to spiritual fasting and the art of Delay and Pray™.
