Some of the holiest sounding lenten fasts might actually wreck your health even more and get in the way of your relationship with God. In this episode I discuss the most common pitfalls I see for Catholic women and lenten fasting.

In this episode:

• Avoiding a boomerang effect going from one extreme to the other
• The distinction between detachment from the world and using lent as new years 2.0
• How to go into lent without working against your body
• A framework to answer the question, "I have heard about this fad diet and that new way to get healthy, who do I trust and how do I know if it is right for me?

This episode is for the person who knows nothing about philosophy. I have been coming back to this conversation all year, you will be shocked how postmodernism has infected every part of our daily life and culture.

The episode features a conversation between Florencia and Bobby Angel, author of the new book "The PostModern Predicament", focusing on the impact of postmodernism on faith, reason, and human dignity. They discuss how postmodern philosophy has influenced culture, politics, and personal beliefs, often leading to a subjective view of truth.

In this episode:

• 🎯 How do you stay clear-headed in a confused world? Bobby reveals tools from his book to help you cut through postmodern chaos.

• 🧠 Why does understanding ancient philosophy matter more than ever? Discover how forgotten ideas shape today’s culture wars.

• 🌪️ Feeling overwhelmed by culture? Bobby explains how to hold onto hope—even when everything feels upside down.

• 🏛️ What does beauty in architecture say about a society’s soul? A thought-provoking dive into why aesthetics aren’t just surface-level.

The new unlimited Catholic audiobook app and key takeaways from Bobby Angel, Fr. Boniface Hicks, Fr. Timothy Gallagher, and more.

In this episode, Florencia Moynihan sits down with Charlie McKinney (President of Sophia Institute Press) for a powerful year-end recap of the biggest 2025 takeaways—and a practical game plan to grow in 2026. If you’ve been telling yourself you’re “too busy to read,” this conversation gives you a fresh strategy to make spiritual reading non-negotiable, using the new Saintify app from Sophia Press to help you listen more, learn more, and actually follow through.

In this episode:

• Bobby Angel on postmodernism — why Medieval philosophers had an "enchanted" view of life that we've lost

• Fr. Boniface Hicks on Marian consecration — the hidden fear behind “I’m not worthy,” and how to stop letting shame block you from giving yourself fully to Mary.

• Fr. Wayne Sattler with the reminder you might need most — God isn’t mad at you, and living like He is can quietly sabotage your spiritual life.

• Emily Stimson Chapman on hosting — why hospitality doesn’t require perfection, and how “messy-but-present” can be a real path to joy and freedom.

• Fr. Timothy Gallagher on the real obstacle to God — it’s not sin the way you think… it’s discouragement, and how it slowly makes you quit.

• Dr. Ray Guarendi on boundaries — the hard truth about expectations and healthy relationships.
