Raising kids in the Catholic faith can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode of The Catholic Woman Podcast, I’m joined by Maeve Jemison to talk about practical, joyful, and easy ways Catholic women can foster faith and connection in the home. From sitting in the front pew at Mass, reading the Sunday readings in the car, and celebrating saint feast days, to weaving apologetics into everyday conversations with teens, Maeve shares simple Catholic family traditions that help children love their faith.

We also dive into Catholic homeschooling, what it really looks like, why it doesn’t take eight hours a day, and how Catholic moms can balance homeschooling with work and family life. Maeve explains how to nurture children’s God-given passions, create a strong Catholic family culture, and build a foundation of truth in a world full of confusion. Whether you’re a Catholic mom of toddlers, teens, or somewhere in between, this conversation will encourage you, inspire you, and remind you that you don’t need perfection—you just need to start.

Guest: Maeve Jemison — Catholic wife, mother, homeschooler, author of Home Is Where the Truth Is, and co-host of Homeschooling for Catholic Parents.
