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 overwhelmed, snapping and yelling at my kids, and how that vicious cycle of guilt and shame kept me stuck.
But I also share the turning point: when I finally discovered the tools to regulate my emotions, restore my relationships, and start enjoying my motherhood again. You’ll hear how these same tools now help the Catholic homeschool moms I coach to heal disconnection, stop the yelling cycle, and fall in love with their motherhood—even if it feels “too late.”
Because the truth is, it’s never too late. No mom is beyond hope, and no child is beyond help. And when your motherhood feels better, every area of your life—your homeschool, your marriage, your family rhythms—begins to flourish.
Whether you’re struggling with yelling, snapping, or just feeling out of control in your home, this episode will give you hope, practical insight, and a reminder that God’s mercy is bigger than your mistakes.
Plus I’ve got a BIG announcement at the end for you, if you are a self-identified ‘yeller.’

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
