This might be one of the most controversial topics for Christian women but we're opening the conversation because your soul matters most.

In this episode, Florencia sits down with Linda Carl — a certified yoga instructor and Reiki master for 20 years — who walked away from it all and expose what's really happening behind the "it's just a good stretch" myth.

If you've ever wondered whether you can do yoga as a Catholic, this is the conversation that gives you a clear answer — and the confidence to act on it.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why "it's just exercise" is the exact lie that keeps you spiritually trapped

• What yoga is really about (according to Hindu's)

• The most dangerous type of yoga

• The hidden meaning behind sun salutations, warrior poses, and "downward dog"

• Why "nothing bad has ever happened to me" is the most dangerous thing you can believe — and Linda's two-word response

• Exactly which stretches are safe and which to drop today

• The journaling prayer to bring to adoration this week if you're struggling to let it go

If you are someone who actively goes to yoga classes, be open to hearing this conversation!

Jacinta spent nearly a decade cycling through doctors, dietitians, naturopaths, and thousands of dollars in supplements — all trying to get her period back. Every practitioner pointed at food. None of them looked at stress. This is the story of how she finally got answers, got her cycle back, and got her peace.

In this episode:

• Why losing 30 lbs and eating "perfectly" still didn't bring her period back — and what that means for you if you're doing everything right with no results
• Why the birth control pill was sold to her as a "treatment" for PCOS — and what it was actually doing instead
• The real root cause of her missing cycles — and why it had nothing to do with rice, bananas, or carbs
• How Jacinta navigated one of the most chaotic, stressful seasons of her life after Made Good — and why she feels so confident in the midst of it
• The shift from being at war with your body to actually trusting it — and what that kind of peace sounds like in real life

Holy Week is here — and there is no better way to enter it than by sitting with the last words our Lord spoke from the cross. In this episode, Florencia sits down with Catholic author and scholar Casey Chalk to walk through all Seven Last Words of Christ, one by one, and unpack what the Church has been meditating on for 2,000 years. This is the episode that almost didn't make it out — and it is absolutely worth the listen.

In This Episode, You'll Learn...

• Why this episode was recorded twice — and why Florencia believes the enemy didn't want it to go out

• What St. Bonaventure called a "summa of Jesus's doctrine"

• How Casey's back-to-back losses led him into the deepest study of Christ's final words

• Why meditating on your own death is one of the most life-giving things you can do

• What St. Dismas tells us about the people who feel like they've run too far from God to come back

• The one phrase the Church has prayed every single day for 2,000 years

Finish off lent with this powerful look at the seven last words of Christ.

Flo and Myla are actually doing it — Europe is happening. Rome for Holy Week (Pope Leo's first Easter !!!), Florence, Paris, and then Flo off to cooking school in northern Italy. But before the passport gets stamped, this episode is the full behind-the-scenes: the style frameworks that finally made shopping easy, the functional labs they're running before they go, and the exact travel-day wellness system that keeps you arriving like a woman who has her life together.

In this episode:

• Florencia's 8-part style framework that finally made shopping clear, fast, and actually fun
• Your clothes are talking before you open your mouth. The psychological concept of enclosed cognition explains why what you wear shapes how you think, how you carry yourself, and how the world responds to you
• Getting your colors done is one of the highest-ROI things you can do for your confidence. Myla shares how a single color analysis session changed not just her wardrobe — but how she showed up in prayer, how she thought about being seen, and what it meant to stop hiding
• Plus, their wellness essentials when traveling

What if the thing quietly working against your Lenten practices isn't your willpower — it's your identity? Jill Simons is back, and she's bringing the conversation you didn't know you needed before Holy Week arrives. If you've ever done all the "right things" and still felt spiritually flat, or wondered why Easter feels like hitting pause on Lent instead of something actually glorious, this episode is for you.

In This Episode, You'll Learn...

• How to know if your Lenten sacrifice is secretly about performance

• Why most Catholic women stop at "not doing Lent anymore" and never actually experience Easter

• The Prodigal Son detail that reveals exactly where you are right now

• The three stages of spiritual identity and which one you're in

• Why God's desires for your life agree with your desires far more than you think
• The practical off-ramp from Lent that keeps the transformation alive

It's never too late to make this the best Lent of your life.

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?
