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.

What happens when you decide to lay down the wine glass for good, even coming from a culture where it's practically a staple? Join me for a compelling journey with Brooke Joiner, co-founder and CEO of Catholic Owned, as she shares her path to sobriety, inspired by her faith and the Blessed Mother. We explore how cultural expectations, particularly from her husband’s wine-making family, were gracefully navigated with a focus on spiritual growth and personal well-being. Brooke's story is a testament to how faith can profoundly transform lifestyle choices.
The pressures and societal norms surrounding drinking can be daunting, especially for Catholic women seeking to align their lives with spiritual beliefs.

Let's unravel the complexities of facing social gatherings without alcohol and find strength in the solidarity of shared spiritual convictions.
Sobriety isn't merely about abstention; it's about balance and aligning with one's values.

In this episode, we explore the remarkable parallels between the stages of diamond cutting and our spiritual growth. I share some of my own experiences of detachment during the early years of marriage and motherhood.

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.
