Made Good

Holistic Health for Catholic College Women: What It Means to Be a Daughter of God


Listen Later

In this heart-to-heart episode, I sit down with Ava Guerra—a recent college graduate and graduate of our signature program Made Good—to explore the deep connections between health, faith, and identity as a daughter of God. Ava opens up about her college years, unexpected health challenges (including a 93-day cycle), and how leaning into the Eucharist and her Catholic faith changed everything.


We unpack what it means to return to simplicity, embrace womanhood, and live with reverence for the body, mind, and soul. Whether you're a college student, recent grad, or simply seeking clarity in your wellness journey, this conversation offers rich encouragement to trust God in the midst of chaos and choose a life rooted in wholeness.


In This Episode, You'll Hear:

  • Ava’s story of health struggles, mission work, and spiritual growth during college
  • Why holistic wellness is more than diet and supplements—it’s soul work
  • How fertility awareness became a turning point in Ava’s journey
  • What the Eucharist taught her about healing and daughterhood
  • How to find clarity and simplicity in the midst of college chaos
  • Why discernment isn’t about fear, but about freedom
  • How understanding the Sacred Heart can transform despair into hope
  • What it looks like to truly “reverence your heart” as a woman of God
