Hello, my love 🤍

Before you rush into new goals, intentions, or plans for this year, I want to invite you to pause… or relook at the goals you already made.

This week on the podcast, I’m sharing a reflection on what 2025 taught me not as a checklist, but as an act of gratitude and trust.

Because we don’t move forward well if we don’t first honor what God has already done.

In this episode, I reflect on five lessons God taught me in 2025 about trust, alignment, leaping before everything feels “ready,” and why you can’t mess up God’s plans when you’re walking with Him.

It’s an invitation to begin this year on purpose, not from pressure.

A short prayer for you to pray for this year

Lord, thank You for the year behind me for the growth I see and the growth I don’t yet understand.Help me trust that You were working in every moment.As I step into this new season, lead me with clarity, peace, and courage.I give You my yes again. Amen.

Hi my love,

I’m so grateful to be back with you this week.

I almost didn’t record this episode. My voice has been low and far from perfect, but something in my heart kept whispering, show up anyway. And honestly, that tug felt like part of the message God has been teaching me lately.

Every Advent, I find myself circling back to the same invitation:

Slow down.

In this episode, I share:

* why waiting feels so uncomfortable

* how rushing steals our presence

* what Advent is really asking of our hearts right now

✨ A line that has stayed with me during our Radiant Soul retreat in Assisi was a prayer from Saint Frances Xavier Cabrinit:

“God, carve Your heart into mine.”

In this episode, I reflect on why that prayer feels especially powerful during Advent… and why carving requires time, stillness, and space.

💭 As you listen this week, you might want to sit with these questions:

* Where have I been rushing instead of waiting?

* What would change if I trusted God with what’s coming next?

* How might my family experience Christmas differently if I allowed myself to be fully present?

🙏 A prayer for today:

Lord, help me slow down enough to hear You. Teach me to trust You with what’s ahead and to live fully in the grace of this moment. Help me welcome You not only into the world, but into my heart. Amen.

Press play when you’re ready. 🤍

With love and prayers,

Karla, the Catholic Life Coach

Hi my love,

I’m so happy to be back with you for another episode. This week’s conversation comes straight from the coaching I’ve been doing lately and honestly, from what God has been gently teaching me too.

We’re talking about emotions… the ones you love, the ones you avoid, and the ones you’re convinced might swallow you whole if you let yourself feel them.(Yes! I’ve been there too. Embarrassment has been my personal struggle!)

But here’s the truth I want you to hear today:

Your emotions are safe.They’re neutral.And they’re one of the ways God speaks to your heart.

💭 A few reflections while you listen this week:

* What emotion have I been avoiding because I’m afraid it might stop me?

* What changes if I simply allow myself to feel it… knowing it’s safe, neutral, and temporary?

* How would my life shift if I trusted that God can use every emotion for my growth and alignment?

🙏 A prayer for today:

Lord, teach me to welcome the emotions You’ve given me not with fear, but with trust. Help me step into the dreams You’ve placed in my heart, fully willing to feel whatever comes with saying yes to Your plans. Amen.

With love and prayers, Karla, the Catholic Life Coach 💛

Hi my love,

I’m back! After a little break (and a lost voice!), I’m so thrilled to reconnect with you here on the podcast.

This week, I share what happened at the Radiant Soul Retreat in Assisi — nine days filled with prayer, coaching, and Holy Spirit-led transformation. Watching these incredible women step into their calling, their stories, and their impact left me completely inspired and I’m deeply grateful to be a part of it.

Here’s the truth I want you to hear when you listen to the podcast this week:

You don’t have to feel ready.You just have to be willing. Willing to step into the uncomfortable. Willing to trust Him to guide you. Willing to co-create your dreams with Him instead of trying to do it all on your own.

* How might I step into discomfort and trust God more fully?

🙏 A prayer for today:

Lord, help me say yes to the paths You are calling me to, even when it feels uncomfortable. Teach me to trust Your guidance and co-create my dreams with You at the center of it all. Amen.

Hello my love,

I’m in the middle of a beautiful, long-awaited retreat in Assisi with five women who felt the call to come. So this week, I’m sharing a timely reshare of a podcast episode with you.

Now onto the episode…

I’ve been noticing how often we hold ourselves back simply because we’re waiting to feel ready: ready for the next step, the new project, the very thing God keeps nudging us toward.

But here’s the truth:You won’t feel ready first. Readiness grows as you move.

This week’s episode of The Catholic Life Coach Podcast leans right into that. I’m sharing what happens when we stop waiting for perfection and start trusting God to guide our imperfect steps.

Because He’s the one who steadies us.He’s the one who fills the gaps.And He moves when we move.

But first…

Hi my love,

Today’s episode is extra special and something I’ve never done before.

I’m resharing an interview I did with one of my beautiful clients, Carrie Jain, for her podcast Living Whole and Holy. Carrie is a recent Catholic convert, a Catholic life coach, and a woman whose heart for Jesus absolutely shines. Her story is beautiful as she is!

What We Talk About

In this episode, we explore:

✨ How life coaching has changed both of our lives✨ The difference between coaching, therapy, and spiritual direction✨ What “alignment” means as a Catholic woman✨ Learning to dream again with God at the center …and much more!

Why I Wanted to Share This

I felt so strongly about bringing this conversation here because so many women tell me:

* “I don’t know what God wants from me.”

* “I feel stuck but I can’t name why.”

* “Is it selfish to want more?”

If you’ve felt that tug on your soul, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Carrie shares how coaching helped her step out of fear, become fully integrated in her faith, start her podcast, and pursue her certification as a Catholic life coach.

I pray this conversation blesses you, my love, and invites you to listen more closely to the desires God planted in your heart.

Enjoy, —Karla, the Catholic Life Coach 🤍

Hello my love,

I’m reflecting on how often we try to do this life on our own and how quickly things fall out of alignment when we do.

This week’s episode of The Catholic Life Coach Podcast comes straight from that space. Someone recently asked me, “What do you mean by alignment?” and I realized how important it is that we talk about this.

So today, we’re diving into what it truly means to co-create with God — not the universe, not our own strength — but with the Creator of it all. 🌿

Because here’s the truth:We cannot do this alone.Without Him, it all gets messy.

He’s the source. He’s the CEO.He’s the one who gives the ideas, the courage, the timing, and the grace.

Hello my love,

As we close this four-part podcast series on rest, I’ve been thinking about how God weaves every part of our lives together — the planting, the growing, the harvesting, and the resting.

In this week’s episode, I share how rest doesn’t mean stopping everything. It means quieting our hearts, slowing our thoughts, and remembering that peace is found in His presence, not in our productivity. But first…

🎧 This episode is for you if…

* You feel like there’s never enough time to rest or slow down.

* You’re in a busy, transitional, or emotional season.

* You long to experience peace and joy even in the middle of your to-do list.

💭 A quiet reflection while you listen:

Where can I invite more rest and peace into my days — not by doing less, but by trusting more? What would change if I believed that rest is holy work too?

🙏 A prayer to carry into your week:

God, quiet my heart and still my mind.Help me find You in the middle of my busyness and remind me that peace isn’t something I earn, it’s something I receive.Teach me to rest in You, no matter the season. Amen.
