When I’ve asked women in the past about what is holding them back from pursuing the thing that they are convicted God is calling them to, money is often a top response.

I hear things like, "There is such a lack of certainty about the exact plan…I would need to quit my full time job with a dependable salary to make it work and I have a fear of letting my family down”

Or

“Money and the needs of family are holding me back, but mostly money. I need money to train for different skills to be hired in a new career and I would need to feel confident”

In this episode I am joined by former FOCUS missionary and current Wallet Win expert, Amanda Teixeira to talk about money mindset. 

What can we do to best manage what we already have? 

How can discern what is enough?

And, on the flip side… How can we confidently make money in a way that aligns with our faith and leaves us feeling, guilt free for what we have?

Listen in to find out!

Why is it that as vastly skilled, high-achieving women, we doubt ourselves SO much… Perhaps you can relate to feeling like the most confident women in the room one minute and the most insecure the next.

In this episode, my guest is going to share about her own confidence struggle, and how she continues to work through it with the help of our Blessed Mother.

I am joined by author and pro-life advocate, Maria V. Gallagher. Maria is a living testament to the power of persistence, prayer, and listening to God’s guidance through both joy and sorrow. 

Maria shares personal anecdotes and practical advice on deepening one's relationship with God, building confidence, and overcoming obstacles through prayer and faith. This episode emphasizes the importance of the sacraments, particularly confession, and offers insights into cultivating a relationship with the Blessed Mother. Maria also shares tips on incorporating prayer into daily life and the significance of recognizing the beauty and truth in oneself and others.

Do you struggle with putting yourself in uncomfortable circumstances, even when you know they are necessary?

Maybe you feel like you will be judged, you'll hinder your credibility if you don't have the right answer, or you'll look "stupid."

A few years back when I was still working in the classroom, I was asked to present to our diocese, a talk on getting comfortable with being uncomfortable in the classroom. Growing up as a self diagnosed perfectionist, I recognized the extreme anxiety in my students that emerged as a result of their discomfort for what they would deem as “failure.” This looked like not mastering something the first day they learned it. Getting a 98% instead of a 100%. Or, simply, not being the first to accomplish something or receive the most praise.

This observation went beyond my students. It wasn’t just them that struggled with not having all of the answers. I saw it in my coworkers too. Teachers who had an underlying fear that they might look stupid in front of their students if they tried something new and it didn’t work out, or they didn’t know the answer. Administrators who struggled with inner turmoil over doing the right thing because they knew they would have to endure the unending parent complaints no matter their decision. 

And, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t struggle with a lot of these same insecurities as well. 

In this episode I am joined by nurse, business owner, mental wellness advocate, and mom coach, Amanda Rayhel. She is going to breakdown how we can...

•  learn to live peacefully in messy action
• ask for help, even when it's awkward
• embrace rejection
• get comfortable with being uncomfortable
• destress in a quick mom minute
