Thriving in the Space Between episodes

January 24 What No One Tells You About Healing in Singlehood with Special Guests Rachel & Annie Part 1 | Episode 103
What if the healing you’re longing for doesn’t come from fixing yourself — but from being known, supported, and walking alongside other women who get it?
In this episode of Thriving in the Space Between, Maria is joined by Annie and Rachel for a powerful conversation about how community inside The Intentional Single becomes a place of real transformation. They share how small groups, sisterhood, and intentional formation helped them grow in confidence, emotional safety, femininity, and clarity — not just in dating, but in every area of life.
From navigating vulnerability and jealousy, to learning how to celebrate each other’s joys, discern dating within friendship, and hold space without fixing, this episode offers a lived glimpse into what makes the TIS community different.
If you’re tired of walking through singleness alone, bracing your way through the waiting, or wondering if you’re behind — this conversation is for you.
Part one of a two-part conversation.
The doors are currently open to our immersive 6 month program — Thriving in the Space Between — until Saturday, January 31 @5pm CST.
✨ Early Bird pricing ($150 off) for Thriving in the Space Between is available through today, January 24 at 5pm CT.

January 23You Are Not a Problem to Be Fixed | Episode 102
If you’ve ever wondered, “What am I doing wrong?” — pause.
In this episode, Meghan and Maria offer a different invitation: you are not a problem to be fixed — you are becoming.
They share the heart and foundations of Thriving in the Space Between, unpacking why so many women feel stuck, exhausted, or alone in singleness — and how healing happens not through striving, but through identity, safety, and community.
A grounding, hope-filled conversation for any woman learning how to hold the ache without losing herself.

January 21Stories from Inside the 6 Month Journey Part 2: There Is So Much More | Episode 101
🎉Doors to Thriving in the Space Between are open — with an Early Bird Discount ($150 off) through Saturday, January 24 (doors close Jan 31).
In Part 2 of our Program Overview, you’ll hear from Mandy and Nicole — two women who came into Thriving in the Space Between from very different places, but who both experienced real, interior shifts along the way.
In this episode Mandy shares honestly:
“I had never been on a date. I honestly thought it would never happen for me. Through TIS, I learned I don’t have to believe every thought I think — and now I’m dating and loving my life.” — Mandy

You’ll also hear from Nicole, who joined TIS in her late 30s and is now married.
In her words:
“I was convinced no good Catholic men existed… but what changed first was me.” — Nicole

These are real women, naming what actually shifted when they stopped carrying this season alone — and learned how to live fully, even in the space between.
This episode is for the woman who’s been quietly asking herself,
“Could this season actually feel different… or is this just how it’s going to be?”

January 20For the Women Who Are Ready to Begin | Episode 100
This episode is for the woman who’s been quietly wondering if things could actually feel different. 🎉Doors to Thriving in the Space Between are officially open — with a 24-hour flash sale ($400 off) for those who are ready to begin.
Inside, you’ll hear from real women — in their 20s, 30s, and 40s — sharing honestly about what shifted for them when they stepped into Thriving in the Space Between.
One woman shared,
“I came into TIS thinking something was wrong with me. I had gone on over a hundred first dates — and nothing ever worked. TIS helped me see how I was showing up, and I became a better version of myself.” — Rebecca
Another said,
“I didn’t even realize how much peace I could feel — at work, in dating, in friendships — until I had women walking with me who actually understood this season.” — Laura
These aren’t polished success stories. They’re honest reflections from women who stopped doing this season alone and learned how to live fully now.
✨
In case it's helpful to see the full picture as you discern Thriving in the Space Between:
We'll be offering a 24-hour Flash Sale ($400 off) starting today and ending tomorrow, Wednesday, January 23 @9am CT.

January 19“I’ve Never Been in a Relationship” — Natalie’s Story of Hope Without Shame | Episode 99
Tomorrow morning, we open the doors to Thriving in the Space Between — and for 24 hours only, there will be a $400 flash sale for those who feel ready to say yes.
If you’ve ever thought…
“I’m 30… I’ve never been in a relationship… is something wrong with me?”
Natalie names what so many women carry in silence — the shame, the awkwardness, the pressure, and the quiet fear that you somehow missed your chance.
And then she shares what’s been shifting inside TIS: not a “fix yourself” vibe… but a deeper grounding, a new kind of hope, and the freedom to stop treating singleness like a personal failure.
Natalie’s words say it best:
“I’ve also always been single… and TIS has got me a little more comfortable with sharing that. That I’ve never been in a relationship… and I had a lot of shame around that.”

If you need permission to breathe, to be where your feet are, and to believe God is still writing your story — this one is for you.

January 09 You’re Not Behind: Untangling the Fear Around Time | Episode 96
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking I’m running out of time or I should be further along by now—you’re not alone.
In this episode, Meghan and Maria talk about the quiet pressure so many women carry around time. The feeling that every decision is high-stakes. That healing, dating, or discernment has to happen now. That somehow you’re late to your own life.
Together, they gently unpack where time scarcity shows up, how it fuels control and comparison, and why awareness is the first place real freedom begins. This conversation isn’t about fixing your timeline—it’s about softening your grip, listening to your body and heart, and letting God meet you right where you are.
If time has started to feel like a threat instead of a gift, this episode is a deep exhale.

January 06 “I’ve Tried Everything”—How Paulina Stopped Controlling and Started Hoping | Episode 95
What happens when you’ve done all the right things—the books, the prayers, the programs—and you’re still waiting?
In this special bonus conversation, Paulina shares her honest journey through singleness, disappointment, and the slow surrender of control. As a high-capacity, driven woman, she realized that hoping again didn’t mean trying harder—it meant learning how to release timelines, loosen her grip, and trust God without needing certainty first.
“I realized I wasn’t afraid of hoping—I was afraid of losing control.”

Paulina reflects on what it looks like to live out gritty, Christian hope—the kind that stays rooted in God even when circumstances don’t change right away. This episode is for the gal who’s tired, faithful, and quietly wondering if she can risk opening her heart again.

January 02 Why Dreaming Doesn't Work Until You Let Go of Last Year | Episode 94
Dreaming can feel impossible when you’re still carrying the weight of what didn’t happen, what hurt, or what never got resolved. In this episode, Meghan and Maria explore why dreaming often feels blocked—not because you’re doing it wrong, but because your heart and body are still holding last year.
They walk through why looking back with honesty and compassion is often the missing step before moving forward, how unforgiveness and disappointment live in the body, and why healing creates the space needed for hope, curiosity, and desire to return.
This conversation gently invites you to release what’s been weighing you down, make room for God to meet you in the ache, and begin dreaming again—from a place of freedom rather than pressure.
💫 You’re invited: The Dreaming Workshop 💫
If this episode stirred something in you, we’d love to hold space for you to go deeper.
The Dreaming Workshop is one of our most loved experiences inside TIS—a spacious, guided, half-day retreat designed to help you reflect on the past year, honor what’s been hard, and gently open your heart to what God may be inviting you into next.
This isn’t about forcing goals or fixing your life.
It’s about slowing down, staying open, and letting God meet you right where you are.
