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.

🌿 Ready to go deeper?Applications are now open for the Radiant CEO Mastermind! I’ve been meeting with some beautiful women discerning if this is the next step for them this week and I’m so grateful for each of them. Six months of group coaching, one-on-one support, and a closing retreat in Assisi. This is for Catholic women ready to expand their impact, grow their mission, and step fully into the next version of themselves God is calling them to become.→ Learn more and apply here

💭 A few reflections while you listen:

* Where in my life have I been holding back because I didn’t feel ready?

* 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.

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

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.

But first…

💭 A few reflections while you listen:

Where in my life have I been trying to do it all on my own?What might change if I invited God to truly lead?

🙏 A prayer for today:

Lord, bring me back into alignment with You.Remind me that without You, I can do nothing and with You, anything is possible.Let me co-create this life with You at the center of it all. Amen.

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

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing about alignment — what it truly means to live in step with God, and why it’s anything but “woo-woo.”

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.

Hello my love,

These past weeks have been intense for the whole entire country.

In today’s episode, we’re reflecting on how God calls us to live boldly in our faith, step into our callings, and stop being lukewarm in the life He’s given us.

Note: I think regardless of whether or not we agreed or disagreed with Charlie Kirk or in part, I think his death really ignited something in many hearts. I have seen a ripple effect that I’ve not seen in a while in Christians, in people who felt like they couldn’t speak before. Let’s talk about that today. But first…

🎧 This episode is for you if…

* you want to grow in your faith, embrace your God-given callings, and live more boldly and purposefully.

* you feel stuck in lukewarm faith, hesitant to speak truth.

* if you are unsure how to integrate God fully into their everyday life and work.

💭 A quiet reflection while you listen:

How am I holding back from fully living out my faith? What calling or mission has God placed on my heart that I’ve been afraid to step into? How can I invite Him into every part of my day, big or small, and trust Him as my guide?

🙏 A restful prayer to pray:

God, help me live boldly in my faith and step into the calling You’ve placed on my heart. Guide me in every part of my day, and let my words and actions reflect Your love. Amen.
