Christie Anne from the blog Her Daily Fiat (herdailyfiat.com) joins Olivia as we chat all about Catholic blogging, motherhood, being a therapist, abusive relationships and living out a bold and virtuous YES to God. 

Olivia joins with Leah from @a.generous.life to chat about her family mission to give away 10% of their dollars and days. This super fun conversation is full of ideas for you to make generosity part of your family legacy, anecdotes about how Leah and her family began this mission ("You can't out give God!") and practical ideas to get started on your generosity journey!

After working through some difficult grief, Olivia is back with Kassie Manning of Every Sacred Sunday! Kassie shares the story, the journey and the mission of Every Sacred Sunday, how she uses her Mass journal, how motherhood has impacted her and her creativity, and also the creative process behind each years Mass journal! Olivia's favorite part is when Kassie shares how Christie and her pick the colors for the Mass journals each year! 

Olivia is back with baby Blaise in tow! For this first episode back after her maternity break, Olivia interviews Sterling Jay- a CATHOLIC life coach. Personal development wrapped up IN our Catholic Faith- it sounds too good to be true- but it ISN'T. Sterling's use of the Model to help women get unstuck is incredible, and she even walks Olivia through a problem with it that all mothers can relate to. Also, Sterling turns everything we think we know about goals completely on it's head and it is amazing!

In this episode Olivia is joined by host and podcast coach Stephanie Clarisse of the podcast 500 Seconds to Joy.

In this episode Olivia is joined by the creative force behind Rakhstar Designs, Rakhi McCormick. Rakhi and Olivia chat about what it's like to be a small business owner and Catholic creative, and to work in a parish.
