Write the Next Chapter of Your Saint Story

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/03/03

I think a lot of us choose a Lenten sacrifice hoping that giving up that thing for six weeks will turn into a permanent character change. And sometimes it does! But that honestly only happens if you’re not white knuckling through Lent, waiting for Easter so you can have that thing you gave up again. You know what I mean. Counting down the days, hemming and hawing about whether you should wait until Easter Sunday or if sun down on Holy Saturday counts. When I was thinking about what I wanted to

Healing the Past in the Present

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/02/24

My third oldest child turned 15 this past weekend and as I spent time looking back over photos of his youngest years of childhood, especially when he was really little, there was a noticeable difference in how I felt this weekend, compared to past years. Instead of feeling sad or twinges of regret remembering some of the hardest years of my life, this weekend I noticed joy, peace, and contentment while thinking about those memories. I didn’t realize that shift had happened until I paid attention

Give Up Feeling 'Not Enough' for Lent

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/02/17

Over the course of my careers as a wife, mother, homeschooler, and life coach there is one feeling that I have seen be a bigger plague on the happiness and holiness in a family more than any other. The feeling of being ‘not enough.’ Of not having enough. Of not being capable enough in one way or another. This ‘not enoughness,’ or lack (scarcity is another way we talk about it in coaching), infects our marriages, disconnects our relationships with our kids, and distracts our homeschooling efforts

Decision Making and Consistency

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/02/10

Did you know that you have about 65,000 thoughts per day? And did you know that about half of those thoughts are in decision making form? This is important information, because there are two things that I hear moms complain about in February and the first one is decision making about next year. The second is being consistent enough to survive this dreary month. While I’ve done a few different podcast episodes on decision making in the past, and I talk about consistency within other concepts

10 Tips to Raise Kids of Strong Character

2025/02/03

If you want to raise kids to be in this world, but not of this world, then they’re going to need strong character They're also going to need a firm foundation, ideally rooted and home with you, to give them a fighting chance of becoming great saints in this broken world. After a surprising conversation with my almost 18 year old son about what he appreciates about me and what I do that helps him everyday that helps him feel prepared to go out into this world after he graduates this spring, I wanted

My Top 10 Homeschooling Mistakes and Lessons Learned

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/01/27

When I first started homeschooling I had sage advice coming at me left and right. And at first I took it all in, relishing the dream that my homeschool might be one day when I had it all figured out…and I felt just like those sage, seasoned mamas. They were so confident. Wise. Certain. But at the time, I felt none of those things. And so, unfortunately, their sage advice was falling on somewhat deaf ears. What I really needed was someone to share the nitty gritty, the hard stuff, the mistakes

What do you wish you could tell yourself when you were younger? Either as a younger woman or a younger mom, what do you wish you would have known? For me, I wish I could have known how to rest in the present moment. I wish I would have had more peace amidst the chaos. I wish I would have known how to enjoy my kids more when they were little. I wish I would have known how much God loved me and that I didn't need to search for it anywhere else. This is at the heart of Fiat Life Coaching, the

Let Peace Begin With Me

Sometimes, I look back at certain Christmas photos of our family next to the Nativity scene after Christmas mass, and I feel a twinge of sadness, regret, or even bitterness because I know how painful getting that photo was. Whatever happened surrounding that photo was just hard, and those memories are forever connected to those photos. If you know what I'm talking about and would like to have a different experience this year with more peaceful memories, then I'm thrilled to share with you with a

MVP: Joyful Self-Sacrifice

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/12/16

Self-care gets a bad wrap, because it can be over-indulgent if you’re not careful. On the opposite end of the spectrum there is ‘offering it up,’ which, if done well, can be extremely powerful for God's good work. But, if used against yourself, being self-sacrificing could end in some deeply painful and harmful self-neglect. This tension between being sacrificial and taking care of yourself is often what causes mamas to stay head-down and task-oriented this time of year, instead of really resting

Becoming a Virtuous Mother

Do you ever feel like you're stuck looking at the crumbs and mess, feeling bombarded by the noise, and have zero drive to get up and keep going? Motherhood, and especially homeschooling, can start to feel like a hopeless endeavor if you're not careful and purposeful about what you choose to focus on. Whatever is the center of your focus is what will continue to grow. So, if you're focused on the things that feel bad and are 'going wrong,' then you'll inadvertantly create more opportunities for

Between the litrugical calendar and the secular world, this time of year lends itself toward celebration and thanksgiving! It really can be such a wonderful, joyful experience. But what about when gratitude feels hard? When a blessing doesn't feel like a blessing or a gift doesn't feel like a gift? Instead of slapping on a fake smile through gritted teeth, wishing you felt better, I'd like to invite you to spend a few minutes with me today unpacking this emotion that we know we should feel, but

It can be so hard to communicate with your husband, especially at the end of a long day, or in the middle of a tough situation. We need to have important conversations, especially when it comes to our family's budget, financial health, and look at the upcoming holiday spending. But how do you do that when, in the past, it's ended in anger, hurt feelings, and disconnection?

Raising Children Without Fear

2024/11/11

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.

How to Go Through the Holidays Intentionally

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

Maybe I Should Just Lower My Expectations

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

Nurturing Your God Given Temperament and a VERY BIG...

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,
