Lent can feel especially heavy if you're a perfectionist Catholic mom.

If you tend to measure your love for God by how well you perform — how well you pray, fast, or "do Lent" — this season can quietly increase anxiety instead of peace.

In this video, I talk about:

• why Lent often feels harder for perfectionist Catholic moms

• how perfectionism is usually rooted in a wound, not holiness

• why God is not asking you to "perform better" this Lent

• how Lent is meant to lead you into trust, not self-criticism

Lent isn't about proving you're a good Catholic. It's about letting go of what you cling to for safety — and discovering that God is enough.

If you've ever wondered:

• "Am I doing Lent right?"

• "Why do I feel worse instead of closer to God?"

• "Why is this season so heavy for me?"
