"While they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them." - Luke 2:6–7 Have you ever found yourself unworthy to be a vessel of God's love? How can we, messy and imperfect people, hold the heart of Jesus within us? This week I explore the truth that the infant Jesus came, and first lay his tiny head in nothing but a messy and humb...

"He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 This week, I explore the hidden truth that our nothingness is everything! We can do nothing without God and yet everything with him. In this, it draws us to our knees and reminds us of who we are! And yet, God in his graciousness created us through love and f...

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had." Romans 15:5. Three simple words can reboot every single mom's heart.

And you know what pivoted my heart? THREE SIMPLE WORDS! Have an episode idea you want to...

"Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9. Hey friends! This week I chat about an old saying that my priest shared in a recent homily. "Do your duty, but do not concern yourself with the results." Although this may seem counterintuitive because we know that our end goal is to love our people into heaven, we must learn to be obedient to all God calls us to, without being attached to the results. This gives us the space within our h...

This week, I speak to the unique heart of the momma who has both teens and toddlers. This season, my dear sisters, is what I would like to call a new infancy in maternity - a new beginning to your motherhood. We are balancing managing diapers and driver's ed classes, while also tending to toddler meltdowns and the big needs of our growing young adults. This, my friends, is a trying season. But a season where God has the capacity to do some of his greatest pruning and trimming on our hearts. M...

This week I sit down with father of 3, passionate man of faith, and my good friend Kelsey Doherty to discuss teens and their faith. What if instilling the faith in our youth was not simply about ensuring they attend Mass and check off the sacrament boxes? What if instead we shared the faith on a more intimate level, bringing in faith and fun through a more engaging medium? Kelsey has piloted an incredible youth program for teens to encourage them to encounter Christ on a more pers...

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.” – 1 Corinthians 12:4-6. This week I speak to the heart of the working momma! Somehow, many of us have bought into the lie that to be a good momma, you should not work. However, time and time again, God has revealed that his path towards holiness is divine...

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1 Where do you run, my friends? Do you run to a co-worker, a friend, a Netflix series, an ice cream sundae, or a spouse? Though God has blessed us with these earthly delights, he never intended that they should take the place of God in our lives. God is continuously reminding me that he has called us to run to him first! Have an episode idea you want to hear about? Shoot me a message here! Support the show She L...

“ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11. This week I speak to the educating momma heart. Whether your children attend a public school, private school, or are homeschooled, we, parents, are the first educators of our children. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says "Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this resp...

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength!" - Isaiah 40:29-31. Sweet friends, this week my heart goes out to all the moms of littles! What a sacred and treasured time! But, what a physically exhausting and trying season as well. You, my friend, are on divine ground here and now! When buried in laundry, spit up, and diapers, it may not alwa...

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you." Matthew 6:6 What if you allowed the daily struggles of diapers, spills, meetings, and heartaches to be transformed into a hidden and yet ...

“And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.” Matthew 10:30. We are frequently reminded that nothing is too big for the heart of God. He is a God of miracles. But what if we forget that nothing is too small either! In fact, we can look to Jesus' first miracle to see that God cares about even the seemingly small. Have an episode idea you want to hear about?
