This week on Girlfriends, I’m so overjoyed to share my conversation with author and Catholic mom Megan Madden. Megan is a wife to a theologian, mom of seven, and the author of Mary, Teach Me to Be Your Daughter and Through Storms and Still Waters with Ascension Press.

In our chat, Megan opens up about:

🌸 How to surrender your plans to God and trust him deeply—even in the storms of life.

🌸 Practical ways to nurture prayer in the middle of motherhood and family chaos.

🌸 The beauty of authentic femininity and how Mary models it perfectly for us.

🌸 Simple practices for slowing down and finding God’s presence in the little moments.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or longing for encouragement in your vocation, this episode will inspire you to lean into God’s grace and embrace your unique call as a Catholic woman.
