Why is it so hard to follow the routines we carefully create?

In this episode, we’re talking about schedule integrity — the ability to honor the plan you already decided on — and why so many Catholic women feel stuck in the exhausting cycle of planning well and following through poorly.

After facing my own gap between intention and action, I went searching for wisdom deeper than productivity hacks… and found myself immersed in St. Benedict’s Rule of Life.

Over 1,500 years ago, Benedict was trying to answer the same questions we’re asking today:

• How do we balance prayer and work?
• How do we stay faithful inside real responsibility?
• How do we avoid burnout without becoming passive?
• How do rhythms create peace in a family or community?

If you are a Catholic woman who longs for: ✨ consistent morning prayer ✨ calmer days ✨ less decision fatigue ✨ follow-through on the habits that matter ✨ a Christ-centered home rhythm

this conversation will feel like oxygen.

Plus — I’m inviting you into a free Lenten experience in my new free community. It’s a gentle, realistic morning rule of life built specifically for women in the middle of vocation, dishes, laundry, and real life.

Not intense. Not another $ wasted on a devotional you didn’t actually use. Not another program to fail.

Steady. Faithful. Repeatable.

We are growing in this together.

This is where the Lenten challenge will live, and your voice can help shape it.

Extreme exhaustion isn’t normal—and it’s not the price of motherhood, marriage, ministry, or faithfulness.

If your fatigue is stealing your patience, your presence, and your joy, your body may be crying out for something deeper than rest: minerals and metabolic support.

In this episode, I break down why so many women—especially faithful, high-giving women—are profoundly depleted, why “just resting” or “trying harder” isn’t fixing it, and how mineral depletion quietly sabotages energy, mood, hormones, and metabolism.

You’ll learn:

• Why chronic stress burns through minerals

• How depletion shows up as exhaustion, anxiety, and brain fog

• Why under-eating and over-disciplining make fatigue worse

• When food alone isn’t enough

• Why working with a dietitian matters for true restoration

I disappeared in 2025 from the podcast and all things online. Where did I go, you might be wondering??

The truth is: I didn’t stop caring. I got more intentional.

In 2025, I made a decision to pause accepting clients—not because I wasn’t called to this work, but because I was “practicing what I preach” and needed to care for myself and my family on a different level.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my 2025 AND breaking down what to expect in my 12-week group program, Restore.

…so you can stop guessing, stop spiraling, and finally feel clear about whether this is your next step.

We’re covering: ✨ Who Restore is designed for ✨ Who it’s not for (with love + clarity) ✨ What the 12 weeks actually look like

If you’ve been praying about getting support… If you’re tired of “starting over” every Monday… If your body feels like it’s fighting you and you don’t know why…

This episode will help you think: “I feel clear. I feel safe. I know what to do next.”

🙏 Enrollment closes soon. If you’ve been praying about this, take the next faithful step. Apply for Restore now.

We talk about:

• Who thrives inside Restore

Many Catholic women have been taught—explicitly or subtly—that caring for their body is vanity, weakness, or distraction from what “really” matters.

In this episode, we gently reframe that belief.

We talk about:

• The difference between stewardship and punishment
• Why caring for your body is not vanity, but responsibility
• How shaming yourself is hurting your health
• What Scripture actually says about nourishing and cherishing the body (Eph 5:29)

If your approach to food and health has felt tense, anxious, or misaligned with your faith, this conversation is an invitation to something quieter, steadier, and more peaceful.

✨ Restore begins in February.

Restore is my 12-week group program for Catholic women in their 30s and 40s who want to stop fighting their bodies and start supporting them — without dieting extremes.

Early applicants receive additional personal support, including a private 1:1 session, personalized lab + symptom review, and early voice-note access.

It often begins with good intentions — a desire to be disciplined, healthy, and faithful. But over time, food choices start to feel moral, guilt replaces peace, and caring for your body becomes heavy instead of life-giving.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How diet culture sneaks into faith spaces
• Why guilt often disguises itself as “discipline”
• How “off the wagon” thinking harms both metabolism and conscience
• What peace with food actually requires — physically and spiritually

If you’ve ever wondered why doing “everything right” still leaves you exhausted and discouraged, this conversation is for you.

You’re not failing.

You may simply be stuck in a cycle your body was never meant to carry.

✨ Restore begins February 9th ✨ Restore is my 12-week group program for Catholic women in their 30s and 40s who want to stop fighting their bodies and start supporting them — without dieting extremes.

What used to work in your 20s literally and physically doesn’t work anymore. Let’s break it down in this episode:

• What changes hormonally and metabolically in this season
• Why dieting feels harder and gives worse results
• Why your body isn’t resisting — it’s adapting
• What support actually looks like now

If this episode strikes a chord with you, I’ve built a program based on this framework–Restore: A 12-Week Metabolic Reset for Catholic Women

A dietitian-led group program for Catholic women in their 30s–40s who are exhausted, gaining weight, and frustrated with their bodies — and want to restore energy, metabolism, and peace with food without dieting extremes.

What to Expect:

• Restore metabolic function without dieting extremes
• Support hormones, thyroid, and energy
• Learn how to nourish your body with confidence and consistency
• Find peace with food while honoring faith and physiology

This is not a weight-loss challenge. This is not a detox. This is not another plan that asks you to override your body.

Restore teaches you how your metabolism actually works—and how to support it for the long term.
