Many faithful women feel stuck in discernment, endlessly asking, “Is this God’s will for my life?” and feeling anxious, paralyzed, or afraid of getting it wrong.

In this episode of The Discerning Mother, Brigid reframes that question through Catholic theology, vocation, and nervous-system wisdom. Instead of treating God’s will like a hidden test, she invites you to ask a deeper, more fruitful question.

You will learn why fear disrupts discernment, how chronic stress blocks clarity, and how God actually forms women through relationship, not pressure. This episode weaves Scripture, Church teaching, embodiment, and real-life examples to help you discern from peace rather than panic.

From cycle awareness to hormone balance, nutrition, and nervous system support, this conversation explores how women can stop fighting their bodies and start working with them.

If you feel disconnected from your cycle, exhausted by conflicting health advice, or unsure how to care for yourself in a way that actually brings energy and clarity, this episode offers a grounded, practical place to begin.

Many women feel confused, anxious, or spiritually distant during seasons of stress, loss, or emotional overwhelm. In this episode, Brigid explains how God uses difficult experiences to reveal what is no longer true, strengthen your identity, and restore your sense of safety from the inside out.

This conversation weaves together faith, nervous system healing, and the deeper meaning of suffering, so you can understand why your hardest seasons may actually be part of God’s design for your growth, leadership, and motherhood.

Many of us enter motherhood with a tender hope for who we will become. Calm. Present. Unrushed. Then the nights stretch long, the needs multiply, and the day begins to carry us instead of the other way around. Life turns urgent. The body stays alert. You fall into bed exhausted, yet still feel behind.

This episode explores that difference between urgency and identity.

Urgency reacts to what is loud.

We speak about the grief of not becoming the mother you once pictured. The way early motherhood shapes the stories we carry. The strain of two people both feeling behind. And, how the smallest grounding rhythms can begin to steady the heart and home.

At Christmas, the world slows just enough for many women to feel uneasy. Instead of peace, quiet can bring guilt, anxiety, and the pressure to plan, improve, or prepare for the new year. In this episode, I explore that stillness is not laziness, disobedience, or spiritual failure.

This episode is especially for women who feel burned out, stuck, or afraid to slow down, and who want to enter the new year regulated, rooted, and trusting God’s timing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why many women equate rest with failure

The biblical and etymological meaning of stillness

What Christmas reveals about how God actually works

Why peace must come before vision for the new year

How stillness supports healing, identity, and spiritual growth

The holidays have a way of exposing what we’ve been holding together by sheer force.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be enjoying this, but I’m exhausted, irritable, and counting the days until it’s over or the kids go to bed,” this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I explore why so many capable, faith-filled women feel emotionally undone during the holiday and why the problem is not gratitude, discipline, or spiritual failure.

We talk about:

Why holiday stress hits women who “normally handle everything”

What your nervous system is actually responding to this time of year

The theological difference between peace and performance

How Jesus restores order, not by adding more effort, but by rebuilding foundations

Why trying to “be joyful” often backfires and what works instead

In this contemplative episode, Brigid explores the profound mystery of the Holy House of Loreto and what it reveals about the modern mother whose interior world has been shaken by birth trauma, medical intervention, chronic stress, or seasons of overwhelm. Drawing from Catholic theology, physiology, and years of working with mothers navigating trauma recovery, Brigid offers a deeply integrated reflection on what happens inside a woman when her “interior house” is displaced and how God begins the work of rebuilding her from within.

Motherhood exposes everything you once managed to outrun. Old wounds. Old patterns. Old beliefs about what you must do to be worthy, loved, or safe. In this conversation, I talk with my good friend, Dr. Amber Curtis, about the pressure women feel to hold everything together and the quiet collapse that follows when the body finally says “enough!"

We explore the roots of perfectionism, the invisible trauma that shapes a woman’s identity, the stress responses that masquerade as strength, and the way faith becomes twisted into performance when a woman was never taught how to receive love without earning it. Dr. Curtis shares her story of postpartum depression, suicidal ideation, and the long road back to truth, safety, and God’s mercy through deep nervous system work.

This episode is for the woman who has never allowed herself to fall apart, who keeps pushing because she does not know another way, who loves her family fiercely yet feels pulled thin by her own expectations. You will walk away with clarity, compassion for your story, and a new way to understand the reactions you can no longer explain.
