As we move towards the holiday season, the pressure to juggle everything can often feel overwhelming. But what if I told you there was a way to navigate through this busy period without compromising your sanity? This week, I sit down with Amber Curtis, a productivity coach, who has made it her mission to help overwhelmed moms reclaim their time and energy.
Amber's journey from despair to determination inspired her to use her academic research skills to discover scientifically proven ways to boost productivity while reducing stress. Her unique five D's framework helps women identify which tasks are absolutely necessary and which ones can be dropped, deferred, delegated, or dumbed down. Amber believes that the first step to peace of mind is getting tasks out of your head and onto paper.
Amber shares her tips for managing stress and finding peace amidst the holiday rush. In our chat, she reminds us all to be realistic, prioritize our tasks, and most importantly, be kind to ourselves during this hectic period.
So, please tune in for a discussion that will take the chaos out of your holiday preparation and replace it with calm.

The Catholic Sobriety Podcast - Ep 110: Brain Chemistry and Overdrinking with guest Lindsay Meindl
play

12/19/24 • 36 min

Ever wonder how your brain chemistry, protein intake, and blood sugar impact your relationship with alcohol? In this episode, I sit down with Lindsay Marie, a mental health nutrition coach and mom of four, as she shares her inspiring story of finding balance after giving birth. We dive into how brain chemistry shapes our well-being, the feelings of disconnection that can arise when it's out of sync, and simple ways to reconnect with our natural systems.

We also talk about the powerful connection between diet and cravings—especially the role of protein in stabilizing blood sugar and balancing neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. If you’ve struggled with stress or addictive habits, this conversation is packed with insights, like how nutrition can naturally support your body and mind.

Join us as we explore personalized nutrition, the patience it takes to restore balance after challenges, and the tools you can use to reclaim joy, better sleep, and freedom in your habits.

The Catholic Sobriety Podcast - Ep 123: Nighttime You Isn't the Enemy, She Just Needs Different Care
play

04/10/25 • 9 min

Ever notice how your resolve seems strongest in the morning, only to fade as the day progresses? By evening, that glass of wine beckons as the perfect solution to your exhaustion. But what if there's a better way to honor your nighttime needs?
This episode unpacks the truth that many women miss: your evening self isn't weak or working against you—she's simply carrying the accumulated weight of your day. Through a faith-centered approach to understanding these evening struggles, you'll discover that alcohol isn't the comfort you're truly seeking.
I share three transformative strategies that have helped countless Catholic women reclaim their evenings without wine. You'll learn how to create sacred evening rituals that invite both physical and spiritual peace, how to pause and pray when cravings arise, identify what your heart truly needs, and how to build joyful alternatives that you genuinely look forward to. These aren't just temporary fixes—they're pathways to profound changes in how you experience your evenings.
Each small choice you make creates momentum toward mornings without regret and evenings filled with true rest. Whether you're questioning your relationship with alcohol or simply seeking more intentional evenings, this episode offers both practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement for your journey. Join our community of women embracing holy self-care and discovering deeper joy beyond the wine glass.

The Catholic Sobriety Podcast - Ep 26: Creating Calm in the Chaos with Guest Sterling Jaquith
play

09/26/23 • 46 min

Feeling engulfed by the whirlwind of motherhood? On the brink of giving in to the temptation of unhealthy coping mechanisms? I promise there's a calmer way to navigate this chaos and my enlightening chat with Sterling Jaquith, author of Catholic Mom Calm – Six Steps to Calm the Chaos in Everyday Life, reveals it.
In a world where we're incessantly bombarded with noise and unrealistic expectations amplified by social media, feelings of isolation can easily creep in. Sterling highlights this concerning trend and invites us to challenge the idea that we need more willpower to cope.
Instead, we delve into practical strategies for creating pockets of calm within our hectic lives and understanding that acknowledging the reality of our circumstances can instill hope rather than despair. Sterling shares practical advice on validating our emotions, setting boundaries, and nurturing self-compassion, offering us a lifeline amid the turbulent seas of motherhood.
But there's more to our conversation than just coping strategies. Sterling also sheds light on the importance of creating community and connection within our parishes, mainly by fostering a culture of staying after Mass - which I wholeheartedly agree with.
Get ready for a transformative journey into the heart of modern Catholic motherhood and discover how to be Catholic Mom Calm.
