The Genius Podcast

In this episode, Lisa, a former HGTV show host, and interior designer turned life and business coach, shares her background and journey. She stumbled into a television and design career by chance, and while working with high-profile clients in interior design, she became known for managing her busy life with six children. People started asking her for advice on how to balance motherhood and professional careers, leading her to transition from interior design to life coaching. Lisa now helps Catholic moms feel less guilty in both motherhood and business through her programs, Motherhood Without Guilt and Wealth Without Guilt. The conversation explores the challenges women face in juggling various roles and offers strategies for finding balance and living intentionally. It emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, understanding personal identity as beloved daughters, and cultivating a prayerful and intentional life.

Friendship is one of life's greatest treasures. It is something we cannot do without because we are made in and for relationships with others. It is our relationships which bring meaningful and purpose to our lives.

Do you ever feel that you are less than? Do you struggle to feel that you are enough? Do you believe that you are beautiful? What are the messages that you have believed about your beauty and worth as a woman?

Self worth and embracing our unique beauty as women can be a lifelong struggle. The lies and self doubt we carry around our beauty is something that begins very early in our life. And has the capacity to impact how we show up as adults in our life and the lives of others.

In this week's episode of The Genius Podcast Karen Doyle is joined by guest Leah Darrow, former model for America's next top model and author of the book The Other Side Of Beauty.

Do you struggle to forgive? Have you ever felt stuck in resentment, hurt and anger? Do you fall into the trap of withholding forgiveness because you feel justified in your pain?

In this week's episode of The Genius Podcast, host Karen Doyle is joined by guest Bridget Sakr. Bridget and her family experienced unimaginable loss when a drunk driver ran down seven children one evening. Four of those children were killed and three injured. The two families who both lost half their family in one night, have become an extraordinary example of the power of forgiveness.

This is a sacred story which shows on full display the fruit of a life embedded in Christ. And the power of forgiveness.

How do we allow ourselves to be rescued and restored by Christ? And how can we cultivate a life of prayer that nourishes us? How can we build a community of women around us that support us and call us on?

These are some of the topics that will be covered in this week's episode of The Genius Podcast with guest Laura Roland.

Holy week is a special week where we walk with Jesus towards his death and resurrection.

On this week's episode of The Genius Podcast host Karen Doyle is joined by Sr Mary Magdalene Soileau OP.

Sr Mary Magdalene unpacks how, during Holy Week and beyond we can look to Jesus and his example of surrender and abandonment to His fathers will as the path to true peace and contentment.

Are you tired of living in a small story?

This was the title of the keynote Karen Doyle gave at last week's Sisterhood National Catholic Women's Conference, in Sydney. 

In the keynote she spoke about the fact we have far more power over our lives than we realise and we are called to co-create our lives with the Lord. One of the beautiful gifts and the thing that sets us apart from the other creatures that  God created is our capacity for reason and understanding. We have the ability to think about our thinking and bring those thoughts under the Lordship of Christ. 

But this is not always easy! How many times have you vowed to change but you find yourself falling back into the same negative patterns? 

In this episode Karen takes you through five practical steps and tools you can use to actively participate in your own transformation and be renewed by the transformation of your mind.

In this conversation Rachel Wong and Karen Doyle discuss what constitutes our essential richness as women and how we bring those gifts forth in a way that is abundant and life giving.
