Motherhood is beautiful—but it can also be overwhelming, exhausting, and all-consuming.

Somewhere between raising children, managing a home, navigating relationships, and carrying invisible emotional burdens… many women lose themselves.

Or worse—they begin to believe their identity must come from someone else. A husband. A relationship. Approval. Validation.

But what if your identity was never meant to be given by another person?

In this reflective and faith-filled Mother’s Day episode, we walk through a powerful question:

What is a woman?

Because once you define what a woman is… and you know that you are a woman… everything changes.

Using the wisdom of Proverbs 31 and the truth that you are made in the image and likeness of God, we apply a simple but profound principle—the transitive property:

This episode will help you:

Whether you are a single mom, married mom, divorced, widowed, or still waiting—you are not undefined.

You are already known.

You are already chosen.

You are already created with purpose.

Is America still united or have we become a divided family?

In this episode, we examine the growing division in our nation through the lens of the Catholic faith, family, and spiritual warfare.

Inspired by the words of Pope Saint John Paul II and Ronald Reagan, we reflect on what it means to be family and the “invisible tie” that once held Americans together.

We also ask whether it can survive today’s cultural, political, and spiritual battles.

This episode shows how Catholics are called to respond with truth, courage, and discipline and what it means to become a Warrior Saint in today’s world.

Rooted in Scripture and Catholic teaching, including the words of Paul the Apostle, this episode challenges you to reject fear, resist division, and rise in faith.

Turning the other cheek is not a call to passivity.

It is a call to stand, fight, and love rightly for our American family.

It's no longer a question of if you experience loneliness after a broken relationship. It's a matter of how you handle it.

Loneliness has reached epidemic proportions and is something everyone who has been abandoned goes through at some point.

Loneliness is experienced by those who have gone through:

The demons want to cause division. Breaking relationships and causing you to isolate is their way of getting back at God.

In today's episode, life coach and single mom Kerri Bishop helps you understand loneliness and what you can do about it.

What do you think of when you think of the person who has hurt you the most?

What if I asked you to think of mercy?

What if the Bible commanded you treat those who hurt you mercifully?

And what if mercy was defined as, "loving the unlovable and forgiving the unforgivable" and we must freely offer merciful love and forgiveness to receive merciful love and forgiveness?

It is exactly what Jesus offers; it is exactly what He commands.

In today's episode and honoring the second Sunday of Easter's celebration of Divine Mercy, we will look at what it means to be merciful and keep yourself safe and sane too.

Holidays can be rough. 

The divorced, single parents and their children, the estranged, and all those suffering from attacks on Marriage and family can feel confused and defeated seeing others celebrate, but Easter offers hope!

He shows us that, when we believe in Him, new life can begin.

Pain is part of life. It is often unavoidable and inescapable. Our choice usually lies only in what we choose to do with that pain.

While many suffer, others will choose to sacrifice as Our Lord invites us to do.

As we enter the holiest three days of the year, you are invited to unite with Jesus at the foot of the Cross in sacrifice.

When your suffering becomes sacrifice, your struggle becomes redemptive and powerful.

Today, I invited you to complete what is missing in Jesus's Sacrifice by joining your struggles to Him.

In today's episode, we'll look at a question a client asked. It's one I've asked too:

Why don't people don't speak out when evil happens?

Throughout history we've seen "good" people turn from what is right to normalize what is evil.

While death tolls vary greatly, Nazi Germany, abortion, and covid protocols are all examples of evil where victims feel unseen. 

No fault divorce is another accepted evil. 

In many cases it is celebrated.

This adds insult to injury.

Why do so many turn from what is good and accept what is wrong?

How can we be sure we don't do the same?

In today's episode, we'll look at how evil is normalized and what we can do about it.

Maybe you've thought of throwing in the towel and walking away from it all.

While it can be understandable, it is not helpful. Many women give up just before a break through.

In today's episode, we will look at why this happens and what you can do to persevere.

If the devil used tactics like shock and awe, we would see him coming a mile away and avoid him like the plague.

Instead, he is wily and takes out his epic fury against Our Lord and His children in more subtle ways.

In today's episode, we look at what has been called the devil's greatest trick and what that may look like in us.

The enemy's tactics are not new, but they are ones we repeatedly fall for. If we want to protect ourselves and our families, knowing what this trick is and how it manifests itself in us is important.

If you would like help leaning into Our Lord's plans to find joy and love even in hardship, it would be helpful for you to follow the podcast, sign up for the newsletter, and/or contact me for coaching.

Do you struggle with loving yourself?

If you're feeling lonely or wishing you had better relationships, self love may be the first step you are missing.

While it sounds strange, loving yourself can be very difficult.

If you've been through trauma, such as abuse, abandonment, or neglect, feeling worthy of any kind of love can seem like a foreign concept, but difficulties surrounding self love are not limited to those who have been through trauma.

Many struggle with the concept of loving themselves.

We see the evidence of this in disordered love. Disordered love makes people choose poorly. They find relief in the moment only to end up worse than when they started later.

In today's episode, life coach Kerri Bishop, looks at self love and gives you 5 ways to build greater genuine, well-ordered love for yourself whether you are new to this journey or well on the path.

Join me in today's exploration of self-love, and don't forget to sign up for Thursday's newsletter which expands on this beautiful topic! 

God Bless...
