I am a firm believer in Personal Development and truly believe that with a little effort and whole lot of Grace, we can transform our journeys as mothers from ”SURVIVAL MODE” to truly ”THRIVING” in our callings. The Catholic Faith means everything to me and I don’t know where I’d be without it. In this podcast, you can expect to hear a little mix of Faith tips and mindset work as well as more day-to-day stuff like homemaking, decluttering, home remedies and parenting! Thanks for being here!

    Episode 44: "Rediscovering Your Style or Wardrobe as a Mom - Fashion, Modesty, Nursing-Friendly Clothes and More"

    The Crunchy Catholic Podcast - Faith, Motherhood & Natural Living Episode 44: "Rediscovering Your Style or Wardrobe as a Mom - Fashion, Modesty, Nursing-Friendly Clothes and More" When we become a mama, EVERYTHING changes… including our body! It can be hard navigating what clothes to keep or toss. Has our style changed? Has our standard changed? What about modesty? While this is all SO subjective, I hope you’ll find some takeaways as I share my own journey as I transformed my style and my wardrobe over the last several years of motherhood. The black leggings that I mentioned which are a STAPLE to my wardrobe (under a dress) as well as a few of my favorite nursing dresses from Amazon: This one, this one and this one!

    The Crunchy Catholic Podcast - Faith, Motherhood & Natural Living Episode 43: “Tips for Dealing With Anxiety as a Catholic Mom” Well this is a topic I haven’t really talked about yet!

    Episode 42: “The Birth Story of Melody Rose - a Test of Faith and a Testimony of the Goodness of God ”

    The Crunchy Catholic Podcast - Faith, Motherhood & Natural Living Episode 42: “The Birth Story of Melody Rose - a Test of Faith and a Testimony of the Goodness of God ” Oh my goodness gracious was this quite the roller coaster ride! Every one of my children's birth stories ends up being not only a life-changing experience in and of itself, but also a life lesson because of how much my Faith is tested in uniquely different ways every time. God is always allowing certain things to happen for very specific reasons that we may not always understand at the time, but He knows best and it's beautiful when that Truth unfolds (long as it may feel) before our eyes. It's a bit vulnerable to share a birth story on such a public platform but I do feel compelled to shout this victory from the rooftops. God's goodness in this story is just too beautiful to not share it with others! I hope you enjoy. If we haven't met yet, I'm Rosie, Catholic mother of 4 and I am thrilled to be celebrating THREE YEARS of this podcast, offering many resources within this platform. That RESOURCES link includes the Happy Juice I frequently mention!

    Episode 40: "Ten Crunchy Things to Have On Hand As You Approach Your Due Date - Natural Minded Pregnant Mama's Hospital or Homebirth Bag"

    UPDATE: It has come to my attention that this episode is not playing any audio past the intro on SOME devices - it's hard for me to fix because it works on Spotify, it works on Apple on my laptop but not on Apple on mobile devices. So strange! Fortunately, I actually published the exact same episode on my OTHER podcast, and it seems to be working just fine over there: The Crunchy Catholic Pregnancy and Childbirth Podcast.   The Crunchy Catholic Podcast - Faith, Motherhood & Natural Living Episode 40: “Ten Crunchy Things to Have On Hand As You Approach Your Due Date - Natural Minded Pregnant Mama's Hospital or Homebirth Bag” Hey friends! This is actually the exact same episode as episode #7 over on my Anchor of Hope Pregnancy and Childbirth podcast, but like I said in the intro here, there will be some episodes that I feel belong on both podcasts:) This was such a fun topic to talk about! Here are links for most of the things mentioned: 1. The "Nourish Her Naturally" Multivitamin tincture that I take as a prenatal can be purchased from Earthley (affiliate link) and you can use code CRUNCHYCATHOLIC to save 10%! I also have been taking the VitaGBX from Amare and you can read more about the tangent I got on about Happy Juice here! 2. Electrolytes! I take this sea salt from Amazon, and this is the Magnesium from Amazon I mentioned. There is also a wonderful Magnesium lotion from Earthley called "Good Night Lotion" that I love and highly recommend!  3. Birthing Ball from Amazon (I got the 30", the 26" was too small! I'm 5' 7") 4 and 5 don't have any links to share:) 6. Essential Oils! Either the "Sensual" by Plant Therapy (available on Amazon or Plant Therapy website) or the "Love and Romance" by Revive, as well as the many others mentioned in the episode. 7. Hypericum and Arnica homeopathy tablets from Amazon 8. No links to share 9. Ease the Ache again from Earthley (at this rate you'll meet your $50 free shipping no problem!) and here's the water bottle I got and love from Amazon! 10. No Links to share Woo! I hope that was helpful:) If we haven't met yet, I'm Rosie, Catholic mother of 3 with #4 on the way. I am happy to be celebrating almost three years of this podcast and offer many resources within this platform. (My favorite place to connect is through my Instagram so be sure to give a follow and say hello!) Thanks for being here, enjoy the episode and God bless you!   ********************************************************************* Background music: Track: Summer Music composed and recorded by Oak Studios Creative Commons Attribution ND 4.0 https://youtu.be/UpRPzujTa7w

    Episode 39: “Ten Ways to Make an Income From Home – Side Hustles as a Stay at Home Mom”

    The Crunchy Catholic Podcast - Faith, Motherhood & Natural Living Episode 39: “Ten Ways to Make an Income From Home – Side Hustles as a Stay at Home Mom” Alrighty friends, I know “business talk” isn’t my usual topic but in this economy, I feel that so many mamas are looking for ways to alleviate some of the financial burden. I did say in the episode that I would include a bulletpointed list in the shownotes but I decided against that since I might lose some listeners by giving you all the juicy details in the description;) If you’re curious about any links I mentioned, or wanting to further explore how I have executed these different income streams, please feel free to check out my LINK TREE which has most if not everything I’m currently involved with. Also feel free to reach out to me directly on Instagram, @the.crunchy.catholic The most lucrative income that I mentioned (number 10 in the episode) offers free sign-up promos from the 1st through the 15th of the month, so if you’re listening in real time and that income opportunity interests you, be sure to reach out right away so we can see if it’s a good fit for you! Speaking of number 10 (which is my affiliation with selling "Happy Juice") the blog article that I referenced can be found here! ********************************************************************* Background music: Track: Summer Music composed and recorded by Oak Studios Creative Commons Attribution ND 4.0 https://youtu.be/UpRPzujTa7w
