Latte and Laundry: A home for Catholic women, moms, and hearts + encouragement for your mighty motherhood

This week’s episode was something my own momma heart needed so desperately to hear. After a tear-filled cry to momma Mary, I was reminded that “Newsflash: You are not responsible for your children’s happiness.”
We mommas love our children so profoundly and deeply, that we often carry around a heavy chain of responsibility that was never meant for our shoulders. Instead, our prime duty to our children, is not to ensure their happiness, but rather to simply love them. It isn’t always easy to express our love through word and action amidst the stressors of every day life, yet when we release the weight of their future happiness from our burdened shoulders, we become freer to be stewards of the most perfect love - God’s love itself.
So mommas take this week to relax your weary heart, free yourself from your fears, and simply love!
Hope you all have a blessed week!

49. We All Need Healing: An Interview with Dr. Bob Schuchts

I am so excited to share this conversation with you all. I had the chance to sit down with my dear friend, and author Dr. Bob Schuchts on the fundamental truth that we all need healing.
Dr. Bob is the founder of the John Paul II Healing Center, and is a nationally renowned speaker. Bob is the author of Be Healed: Encountering the Powerful Love of Jesus in Your Life, and Be Transformed: The Healing Power of the Sacraments.
His beautiful wisdom into the human soul and the importance of healing for all of us is profound. We often believe the lie that only people who have experienced outward "trauma" need to look at and address healing. However, Dr. Bob and his team do a beautiful job of shedding light on the fact that living in a sinful world has guaranteed that we have all been wounded and are all in need of deeper healing.
This is an invitation to go deep with Dr. Bob and to prayerfully consider whether or not our Lord is inviting you to greater healing, just as he healed the crippled man who lay by the healing waters in Bethesda for 38 years.
As Sr. Miriam James Heidland often says "Wounds that aren't transformed are transmitted!" Mic drop, and powerful, yet on the flip side there is beauty and hope knowing that the "wounds that are transformed and healed then lead to healing that is transmitted!"
Blessings friends!

51. Prayer Series Part 1: Hearing the Voice of God, with Father Mark-Mary, CFR

This week we kick off a new series that is very near and dear to my heart with a very special guest, Father Mark-Mary, CFR. The series relates to a prayer that our Lord placed on my heart a year ago. Over the next few weeks, we will be diving into the various components to this prayer:
"Lord, break me from the need to control
Free me from this bondage.
Soften my face, quiet my voice,
and let me rush for nothing at all!"
But before diving into each piece, I wanted to kick start our series by exploring the idea of Hearing the Voice of God in our hearts. We seek to know God's will in the tiny heart movements of our lives (such as the above prayer) as well as the big life-changing decisions. But how do we do this? I am so elated to have Father Mark Mary share some beautiful wisdom on discernment, trusting God, and moving forward in making decisions knowing that we are not alone, but that instead our most perfect Father is fully present with us!
I hope you are as blessed by this conversation as I was. Have a wonderful week friends!
