Fulfilling Your Mission: Lessons from the Immaculate...

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/12/08

Every year on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, I'm drawn back to the day I entrusted my life, and then years after that, my business to Jesus through Mary. That simple offering has shaped the way I understand love as the foundation of a peaceful, joy-filled life, especially in the daily moments that feel anything but peaceful. In this episode, I share the lessons I've learned from staying close to Jesus through Mary, lessons that have carried me through those everyday frustrations we all

Mom's Worst Enemy: Distraction

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/12/01

As we step into Advent and the first days of a new liturgical year, I've been reflecting on how this season invites us to slow down, simplify, and refocus on the Lord. Stepping into this season also brings up something I see constantly in coaching and in my own home: distraction. Our kids wander off, lose focus, read a book instead of doing chores, or get sucked into the chat box during an online class instead of paying attention to the teacher. And nothing sends a homeschool mom through the roof

Boundaries, Forgiveness, and Being Self-Sacrificing

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/11/24

As we head into a season full of special occasions, extended family dynamics, and old patterns, I've been thinking a lot about boundaries, forgiveness, reconciliation, and what it actually means to be self-sacrificing. We all need better boundaries, especially with the people outside our immediate home during the holidays, because boundaries are vital for protecting our peace. But so often, boundaries feel bad because we confuse protecting our peace with being selfish. We get told to "offer it

MVP: When Gratitude Feels Hard

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/11/17

You know those seasons when you know you should be grateful, but you can't quite feel it? Like when life feels heavy, when the house is loud, and your heart just can't catch its breath? In today's episode, I talk about why gratitude can feel so hard, especially when you're overwhelmed, when blessings don't look the way we expected, or when fear and unworthiness sneak in. Listen, there's nothing wrong with you. You just don't know how to release the tension or recognize God's presence in the middle

You're having a bad day, a bad week, maybe even a bad semester, and you start to think…maybe it's me. Listen, there's nothing wrong with you, your family isn't broken, you're not awful at time management, and you're honestly the best homeschooling mom for your family on the planet. You're just stuck in the negative emotions of life and don't know how to move forward, let alone grow through them. You are not alone, my friend. In fact, this has been coming up in coaching so frequently that I've made

How to Take a Mom Sick Day

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/11/03

This past week my whole family (myself included!) has been fighting a cold. It got me thinking about what we do as homeschool moms when we get sick and how hard it can be to actually give ourselves permission to rest and recuperate. So I'm keeping this episode short and sweet and giving you some really practical ideas for how to take a sick day! We'll talk about how to do things a little differently, redefine what "counts," and still feel peaceful about your homeschool when life doesn't go as

Mary's Way: Choosing Hope Over Disappointment

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/10/27

We do this as moms all the time: we think it'll be better when. When the kids are older. When it's the weekend. When the semester is over. When Christmas finally comes. But the truth is, there's no such thing as "over there." There's only here, this present moment, which is the culmination of all the little moments that led you here. In this episode, we're talking about the Arrival Fallacy, that sneaky lie that tells us peace and joy are waiting for us at the finish line, when really, the way you

MVP Joyful Self-Sacrifice

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/10/20

So often, we feel torn between caring for ourselves and serving our families, wondering if self-care and self-sacrifice can truly coexist. It happens all year long, but it really can become a problem during the holidays, if you’re not intentional about how you balance the two during the ordinary seasons of life. I want to help you see that they not only can — they must — if we’re going to love from a place of peace, presence, and abundance all year long. In this week’s episode of the Happy, Holy

Five MOM Skills for Raising Self-Sufficient Kids

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/10/13

I want to invite you to pause for a moment and take a deep breath. Now ask yourself this gentle question: Do I believe my child is capable? Not just when they’re doing well… but when they’re struggling, when they’re distracted, when they roll their eyes, or when they say “I can’t”? It’s easy to believe in our kids when they’re showing us proof. But the real work of motherhood — the holy work — is believing in them before we see the fruit. Belief isn’t pretending. It’s choosing to see your child the

Five Study Skills for Self-Sufficient Students

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/10/06

Have you ever wondered how to actually teach your kids to study, without turning it into one more lesson plan? Over coffee with a friend, I realized I’d never sat down and created “study lessons” for my children. Instead, what we’ve done has been years of practicing, trying, failing, and repeating small, doable habits that slowly grew into something powerful. In this week’s episode, I share the simple shifts that helped my kids develop confidence, motivation, and focus. And not through lectures or

When Things Aren't Going Your Way

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/09/29

I can’t tell you how often I get frustrated when things don’t go the way I want them to. It’s super frustrating! Whether it’s kids fighting, everyone interrupting me at once, or a lesson that just isn’t sinking in, it can feel like pressure building up inside that just has to burst. And in those moments, it feels urgent—like the house is on fire and I need to fix it right now. But one of the coolest things I’ve learned in my work as a life coach is how to respond to these ‘fires’ calmly and

Getting More Done With Focus Time

2025/09/22

When I first started homeschooling, I can’t tell you how many times I found myself erasing and rewriting plans in my planner every time something didn’t go the way I thought it would. Someone would get sick, or we’d want to linger longer on a subject, or a new documentary would pull us down a rabbit trail—and suddenly all my careful planning for the year felt ruined. Then I discovered a new, simpler way of homeschooling that felt like a lifeline. This simple rhythm, and one intentional mindset

Today the Church celebrates the birth of Our Lady and it has me reflecting on my own beginnings as a Catholic life coach and podcaster. When I first sat down to record, I was nervous, uncertain, and honestly a little scared. Who would want to listen to me?! But like Mary, I knew God was inviting me to say “yes,” even when I didn’t understand what He was going to do with it. Just three years and over 40,000 downloads later, and with so many new listeners recently finding the podcast, today I’m going

How Do I Stop Yelling At My Kids?!

Do you ever end the day feeling guilty for yelling, wishing you could take back the words you said in frustration? You’re not alone. That was me, and it’s so many Catholic moms who struggle with overreacting, losing patience, and feeling disconnected from the very people we love most. Now, as a life coach I’m on a mission to help as many Catholic homeschooling moms as possible calm down and enjoy their kids and homeschooling, whether you come work with me or not. Which is why I’m releasing for the

Building a Foundation of Trust, a Conversation with...

2025/08/25

When my third oldest son was little he was a screamer. Like multiple times a day for at least 20 minutes at a time and we spent years trying to figure him out. We tried parenting trick after parenting trick, with very little success. Ultimately, you know what worked? Patience, love, compassion, and a willingness to be in the hard part with him, instead of wishing it was over. That’s what helped us build a foundation of trust that allowed him to learn the tools that could help him have a good life

Your Child is Not a Dyson

When I first became a mom, I longed to have Mama Mary by my side in every moment of my motherhood. I didn’t yet know about consecrations, so in my desperation, I went for something bold—a miraculous medal tattoo on my ankle. (Spoiler: consecrations are easier and far less painful!) In this episode, I share my journey of learning what true meekness looks like—not weakness, but the gentle strength Mary embodied through her total trust, surrender, and holy detachment. I open up about the years I spent

MVP: Mom's Office Hours

2025/08/11

If you were a teacher in a brick-and-mortar school or professor in college you would have designated time when you would prep your day, prepare the rest of your week, do research, grade papers, and receive students' questions either via email or in person. However, as homeschoolers we have the added obstacles of toddlers and babies underfoot, laundry that needs to be changed over, meals that need to be made, and children delivered around town for various activities. So how do you get it all done?

How do I ease into a homeschool year?

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2025/08/04

Homeschool mamas have the best of intentions this time of year. Whether you love hitting the ground running with all the subjects or you prefer easing in gently, there’s no one right way to start your homeschool year. But today, I’m making the case for taking it slow on purpose. Why? Because starting with just a few key subjects (or skills) can help you build momentum, create muscle memory, and stack up some early wins. And those wins matter, especially when things don’t go quite according to
