Fear of the government, social media, bad influences, and misinformation are just some of the external fears we face as moms.
However, it's the internal fears that tend to keep us up at night.
Am I do a good enough job?
Will they have what they need?
Did I mess up too badly?
Am I ruining them?With so many things to fear, it's easy for a mom to feel paralyzed with what to do and how to raise courageous kids in this bonkers world, especially if the mom isn't sure how to do it for herself.
If that resonates with you, please grab your earbuds and let's hang out and unpack what's going on under the surface so you can begin unwinding the fear you might feel stuck in and start: Raising Children Without Fear.

How much time do you waste beating yourself up every day? Or even how much money you spend on ways to feel better? Do you realize how much you invest in feeling bad?
This isn’t a condemnation, most people do this completely unintentionally. And then, unintentionally, beat themselves up further for having done all of that and it becomes a vicious cycle and leads to getting stuck.
And, unfortunately, during this time of year, it leads to sour memories and expanded waistlines.
Which is why I want to spend time now, before we go into the holiday season, shedding some light as to why you do these things and a few simple steps to follow, so you can start getting a handle on it sooner.
Because learning how to be intentional now is what will allow you to begin practicing it before things get busy.
Which means you’ll already have the foundational skills laid, so you can truly enjoy yourself, your family, and your homeschooling all the way through Christmas.
And that is the secret sauce to begin the next semester in January peacefully and intentionally, instead of feeling exhausted, discouraged, and drained.

Do you ever just want to throw in the towel when your kid seems to prioritize everything else in the world, instead of completing their school work?
Or when you catch them on their screens when they should be doing their chores?
Throwing in the towel feels like you’ve failed and is the step right before sending your kids to the nearest public school.Since that doesn’t seem to be what God is actually asking you to do, you might think that a reasonable ‘solution’ might be to lower your expectations. But somehow that feels like a sneaky way of throwing in the towel, so what is a well meaning homeschool mom to do?!
Grab your earbuds of course!
And join me as I breakdown how to set you and your child up for success, without giving into defeat or shame in this week’s podcast episode: Maybe I Should Just Lower My Expectations.
And if the Holy Spirit is tapping you on the shoulder to go deeper with this work, please come join me in Happy, Holy Mama right now for only $49/month! When you join this week, you’ll lock in that lower price for as long as you maintain your membership.

When I was a younger mom I wanted to learn more about myself, because I really wanted to change how I reacted (or overreacted as it were) to my kids, messy house, pretty much everything in my life.
But I really resisted learning about the Four Temperaments, because it felt like I would be ‘put into a box’ that I couldn’t get out of.
I didn’t like the idea of some test confirming my worst fears about myself and I was afraid there would be nothing I could do to change it. In this particular case, ignorance was bliss!
Except I was still overreacting and felt like something was deeply wrong with me and maybe I was just doomed to be unhappy in this beautiful life God was giving me. I felt sad, angry, and sorry for my family. It was a really dark time.
But then I heard a life coach say that my past doesn’t dictate my future and that I could learn tools to nurture my natural tendencies (my temperament) to become the version of myself that I deeply wanted to be.
That my family didn’t have to change in order for me to enjoy my life.
In that moment my entire life shifted and it’s never been the same since - for the better!
Today’s episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast I talk a little bit more about my experience with the Four Temperaments and what kind of impact life coaching can have for you, if you know how blessed you are, but aren’t necessarily feeling blessed.

One of the biggest obsatcles to having more peace in your day is finding acceptance of uncomfortable and even painful situations you find yourself in.
Especially when it comes to your kids.
I can already hear you reply, "But I can't be okay with bad behavior! Or disrespect!"
Or anything else that feels problematic right now.
Like poor worth ethic, lying, politics, inflation, or just your husband's bad mood.
And I totally agree, you don't have to be okay with those things!
But being okay with something is very different than accepting it.
If you're most people and really struggle with understanding the difference, I created today's podcast episode just for you!
So grab your earbuds and let's dive into: The Difference Between Acceptance and Condoning.
Make sure you're on my email list, beacuse later this week I'm unveiling a new way for you to work with me and you will not want to miss those details!

Let me guess...rushing the kids to get their chores done doesn't seem to help.
Nagging them to focus on their assignments doesn't either.
And yelling...well that certainly doesn't get you any closer to getting out the door with all their belongings on time.
So what does help?Grab your earbuds and let's talk about what you need to do (and what you need to let go of) in order to save time in your homeschool day today and How to Save More Time in Your Homeschool Day.

My husband and I recently took our oldest son on a couple of college visits to Catholic universities with the sport programs that he hopes to participate in.
These visits went the way we’d expected them to, leaving with official offers from head coaches and significant academic scholarships to each.
But the conversations we had with our senior along the way were what changed his ultimate trajectory and will likely lead to a better, richer college experience for him.
Grab your earbuds to join me as I share my experience as a first-time college mom, reflecting on our parenting journey that's led to where we are right now (for better and for worse).
I’ll share some things to keep in mind as you’re preparing your kiddo for college and, most importantly, how to make the most of the time you’ve got this precious child still in your home.
And don’t forget to check out the details for my first ever public WORKSHOP this Friday: How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting!

When was the last time you looked at your life just to find the miracles?
You might not think it's a good use of your time, but in today's episode, I'm going to share with you why I think it's one of the best ways to spend your time.
Because when you can find the miracles in your life, especially in your past, then you'll have little to no trouble handing your (or your children's) future over to God.
And when you can trust God with the future of your family, then every single day becomes so much more beautiful and doable.
Grab your earbuds and let me share my story about how St. Padre Pio helped me start my coaching practice, and other miracles, in today's episode: The Miracles of Your Life with St. Padre Pio! -

…and it’s just not true.
In fact, that thought is actually covering up a different, bigger concern that you don’t even know is in your brain.
So, in today’s episode, I’m going to shed some much needed light into this dark area of anxiety and frustration that every homeschool mom I know struggles with, so you don't stay stuck there any longer.

Some of my worst homeschooling days have been the ones where I have lost my peace over every little thing.
Like repeating myself for the nth time, being interrupted left and ride, and feeling like we were never going to finish an entire day's plan within one school day.
On my worst days I have felt overwhelmed, angry, inadequate...and deeply believing that I was ruining my kids.
And in today's episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast, I share with you the one thing that shifted everything for me and my family...and how you can do it, too, today.

You might be a homeschooler who doesn’t like to look too far ahead into the future, because it feels overwhelming to plan more than a few weeks in advance.
If that’s the case, then, unfortunately, you might also be someone who struggles at the end of the year if you don’t up where you had hoped to in May.
That’s because when you don’t think about what you want the end result to look like, then:
You won’t know how to get there and
You won’t know when you’ve arrived.
So spending time at the beginning of a new school year thinking about what you want the end of the year to look like is a highly valuable use of your time!
Because when you know what you want it to look like at the end, then you’ll be able to break down the steps to get there, which will help you know what to do today.
Which means you’ll waste less time, be less overwhelmed in the long run, and have a more productive school year!
In today’s episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast, I’ll walk you through why you want to define your goals, the steps to define your goals, and the mindset it takes to reach them.

If you've ever spent the Sunday morning drive to mass dreading other people seeing your hot mess family and fuming that you're running late, you have probably tried to fake-it-til-you-made-it as you arrived.
Likely to find that it didn't last long, because it just doesn't feel genuine and takes a significant amount of energy, that you probably just didn't have left.
In today's episode, I'm going to share with you the difference between the fake-it-til-you-make-it mindset and the Acting As If mindset and why Acting As If will be one of the fastest ways to start making internal change.

Too many mamas get stuck in runaway train type thinking that sounds so true that you often don't question it.
I also often see too many well meaning friends try to combat that thinking by disagreeing with it entirely, which doesn't always feel right to you, if those thoughts have a smidge of truth in them.
Thoughts like:
I can't do this.
I am no good at this.
I am ruining them.
They would be better off in school.
And others.
These thoughts feel so rotten, because they sound so, so true.
They FEEL so, so true.
And it's honestly not useful to argue with them in order to change them.
But I don't want you living under the weight of those thoughts any longer, either, because they're are what are keeping you disconnected, frustrated, and unhappy!
That's why, in today's podcast episode, I share with you the ways I prefer to respond to those thoughts that is rooted in an even bigger, deeper truth.
Borrow these new thoughts that I offer you whenever you get stuck in that Scarcity Mindset in the future and come back to listen to this episode as often as you need it!

We all have a money story.
For some of us it's a story of pain and deprivation and scarcity.
For some of us it's different. Easier, lighter, and less fear around money.
Regardless of what your history with money is, what you tell yourself about it now, is absolutely impacting your money decisions.
And my guest on this week's podcast episode wants to tell you how to start changing your story, have more financial freedom, and teach your kids how to create their own story, starting in your homeschool.

How do you handle failure? Have you ever clarified what that looks like for yourself?
I'm guessing probably not! Well, the problem with not knowing the specifics of HOW you do something is that then you don't know what to do DIFFERENTLY.
That's exactly what I'm talking about in today's podcast episode!
I'm going to walk you through a short exercise I led the Happy, Holy Mama Members through during Planning Week 2024 to unpack the feeling of "failure" and gave them a process for how they could handle it better.

If you have ever felt tension in your jaw, neck, shoulders, or tightness in your chest and shortness of breath, and ready to throw in the towel, then I'm willing to bet you know what it feels like to be burnt out.
Or at least on the verge of burnout.
In today's episode I dive into some of the reasons you are, or have been, burnt out, most of which boil down to you trying to do a job that doesn't belong to you.
I'm going to give you a job description that the Lord gave me when I asked HIM what our job is as a Catholic homeschooler, and it might surprise you.
