Are you feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed by homeschooling, and struggling to find peace in your daily vocation?
In this encouraging episode, host Kaitlin Zara welcomes Sterling Jaquith, Catholic speaker, author, and founder of Catholic Mom Calm. Sterling shares her powerful story as a convert to Catholicism, mother of six, and creator of a ministry that helps Catholic moms ditch overwhelm and live with peace, purpose, and joy—right in the middle of their busy vocation.
With warmth, humor, and spiritual insight, Sterling offers practical mindset tools and faith-filled encouragement to help you embrace the beauty (and chaos) of Catholic motherhood with confidence and calm. In this episode:
- What Catholic moms really need to hear about burnout and balance
- How mindset work can transform your homeschool and your family life
- Why peace doesn’t come from controlling your schedule
- Ways to reconnect with your purpose and identity in Christ
- How to begin again—even if you feel like you’re failing
