Episode 049: At some point in our lives, we'll be called to wait for something. In today’s episode, we’ll reflect on lessons we can learn from Mary's life on how to wait WELL. After giving her courageous "fiat" Mary's life was filled with moments that required extraordinary trust and surrender. Together, we’ll unpack how to imitate Our Lady in our own seasons of waiting and embrace these moments as a sacred opportunity to deepen our walk with God.

Waiting requires us to get used to being uncomfortable. Regulating our nervous system is how we can lean into that. The doors to my Catholic breathwork program are open for a limited time. Learn more about Sanctus Breath™: www.sanctusbreath.com

Episode 048: In today's episode, we explore the duality of suffering—its ability to bring both pain and grace. Suffering is a deeply human experience, and while it can feel overwhelming, it’s also an invitation to draw closer to God. We discuss how suffering shapes us, challenges us, and, through God’s grace, refines us.

Suffering doesn’t have to define us or keep us stuck. By looking for the ways God is present in our trials, we can begin to uncover the fruits of those experiences. This mindset shift allows us to step into a place of hope and gratitude, even in the hardest moments.

Episode 047: In this episode we’re diving into how to cultivate an internal sense of spaciousness—a follow-up to last week's episode on expanding our capacity. We'll explore why developing a deeper sense of "space" within ourselves is vital for meaningful relationships, both with others and with God. In our world of chronic stress and distractions, it’s easy to lose this inner spaciousness, leading to superficial connections. By creating an "inner room," as described in the Gospels, we can honestly see ourselves, hold compassion for every part, and begin the transformative work that strengthens our ability to hold space for others.

Episode 046: In this episode, we'll dive into the concept of expanding our capacity to embrace both the blessings and challenges of life, all within a deepened relationship with God. We'll explore the concept of the "window of tolerance," which refers to our ability to manage stress and respond with resilience. When our window of tolerance is narrow, we’re more likely to experience intense stress responses such as "fight, flight, fawn, or freeze," which can lead to feeling disconnected from ourselves and even from God.

You'll receive insights on how you can gradually expand this window, allowing you to be more present, process life’s ups and downs with grace, and invite God’s support and strength into each moment.

Episode 044: In today's episode, we're talking all about about the importance of boundaries for your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Rather than demands and ultimatums, boundaries are "rules of engagement" that support relationships. Women often face challenges when setting boundaries, due to societal pressures, fear of judgement and guilt. But it's possible to set boundaries with love and respect, that foster openness and honesty in our relationships.

Episode 042: In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that is truly at the heart of living as an embodied Catholic woman: living in alignment with your values and creating a life of integrity. We'll explore what values and integrity mean and why they are crucial for us as Catholics. When we're not living in alignment—when we are people-pleasing, self-sacrificing, or martyring ourselves—not only do we lose, but everyone else loses as well.

Living in alignment means living in God's truth, doing what He tells us, and honoring our commitments to ourselves and others. This brings a sense of peace and congruence.

Episode 041: In this episode, we delve into the rich spiritual significance of breath in the Catholic tradition and introduce a faith-based approach to breathwork designed specifically for Catholics. We explore biblical references about the breath and how it symbolizes the Holy Spirit and God's presence in our lives. We also look at saints and doctors of the Church such as St. Augustine, St. Hildegard of Bingen, and St. John of the Cross who emphasized the importance of breath in spiritual and physical health.

We'll define what a Catholic breathwork practice is and how it's different than secular/New Age practices, and introduce Sanctus Breath™, the first clinical breathwork practice for Catholics!
