Feeling engulfed by the whirlwind of motherhood? On the brink of giving in to the temptation of unhealthy coping mechanisms? I promise there's a calmer way to navigate this chaos and my enlightening chat with Sterling Jaquith, author of Catholic Mom Calm – Six Steps to Calm the Chaos in Everyday Life, reveals it.


In a world where we're incessantly bombarded with noise and unrealistic expectations amplified by social media, feelings of isolation can easily creep in. Sterling highlights this concerning trend and invites us to challenge the idea that we need more willpower to cope.

Instead, we delve into practical strategies for creating pockets of calm within our hectic lives and understanding that acknowledging the reality of our circumstances can instill hope rather than despair. Sterling shares practical advice on validating our emotions, setting boundaries, and nurturing self-compassion, offering us a lifeline amid the turbulent seas of motherhood.

But there's more to our conversation than just coping strategies. Sterling also sheds light on the importance of creating community and connection within our parishes, mainly by fostering a culture of staying after Mass - which I wholeheartedly agree with.

Get ready for a transformative journey into the heart of modern Catholic motherhood and discover how to be Catholic Mom Calm.

We all have moments when we feel lost or overwhelmed - times when we desperately need hope and healing. Today's guest, Lisa Martinez, knows these moments all too well. Join us as we sit down with her and explore how her journey of trauma, a loved one's addiction, and infertility led her to lean in hard to the transformative power of God's love and prayer, and how it inspired her to start the restoration ministry Little with Great Love and the nonprofit iAmplify.

Have you ever found yourself questioning if your prayers are really heard? We've all been there. But sometimes, the most powerful testimonies come from the darkest trials. In a moving segment of our conversation, Lisa opens up about her family's story relating to addiction and recovery. There's a profound lesson here - that even when the circumstances seem hopeless, trusting God and remaining steadfast in prayer can lead to miracles.

Our exploration continues as we delve into the liberating concept of detachment and its spiritual benefits. From learning to let go of the distractions that disrupt our spiritual order, to understanding how simplifying our lives can prevent hurtful experiences, it's a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. 

Lisa's journey reminds us that faith in God can help us navigate even the most perilous situations. So, sit back, tune in, and explore the power of detachment, seeking God, and finding hope.

Imagine sitting in a crowded restaurant, choking on a piece of food, but too mortified to ask for help. Sounds absurd, doesn't it? Yet, we often find ourselves in a similar choke-hold of shame and fear when it comes to confronting our unhealthy habits, particularly around drinking. We wrap ourselves in a shroud of perceived societal expectations, terrified of judgment while simultaneously yearning for help. Join me as we unravel this complex web of emotions and discover how to counteract these restrictive feelings.

Shame, you see, isn't all evil. It's a signal, a red flag, alerting us of our missteps. But when we let shame fester, it breeds fear, making us retreat further into our shell. You might feel you're the only one struggling with alcohol, that everyone else is effortlessly sailing through life. Let me assure you, you're not alone. The fear of judgment and the stigma attached to seeking help are more common than you might think. Let's break down these misconceptions and learn how to use shame to our advantage rather than letting it trap us.

Finally, let's gear up for action. Harness the power of past victories, draw wisdom from an imaginary conversation with a friend, and learn to field judgment from others. Sobriety isn't just about willpower; it's about making informed decisions, leveraging support networks, and above all, inviting the Holy Spirit into the process. So let's arm ourselves with these strategies. And remember, if you find value in our conversation today, rate, review, and share the podcast. You never know who might need the lifeline.
