In this heartfelt season finale, Kimberly shares key moments from her own healing journey, reflects on the lessons learned from this season's incredible guests, and offers hope to anyone wondering if transformation is really possible. Together, these conversations reveal that healing is not a destination but a lifelong journey of trusting God one step, one surrender, and one "yes" at a time.

    The Saints Who Teach Us How to Stay

    What does it really mean to become a saint? Is holiness reserved for extraordinary people, or is it found in the ordinary, everyday decision to keep saying "yes" to God? In this episode of the Butterfly Girl Podcast, Kimberly sits down with award-winning Catholic author and speaker Patti Armstrong for a conversation about the saints who continue to inspire us to remain faithful through life's greatest joys and deepest sorrows. Together they explore how the lives of Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, Servant of God, Michelle Duppong, St. Monica, St. John Paul II, St. Maria Goretti, and St. Carlo Acutis reveal that holiness is not about perfection. It is about perseverance. Whether you are carrying grief, praying for a loved one, healing from past wounds, or simply trying to remain faithful in the ordinary moments of life, this conversation offers practical encouragement and lasting hope. The saints remind us that suffering does not have the final word, God's grace is enough, and every small act of faithfulness matters. Content Note: This episode includes discussion of the lives of saints whose stories involve slavery, abuse, violence, terminal illness, grief, and other forms of suffering. These topics are discussed with sensitivity and without graphic detail. Our hope is that listeners come away not focused on suffering itself, but on the hope, courage, healing, and faithfulness found in Christ. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the saints are still relevant todayHow ordinary people become extraordinary witnesses to ChristWhat the lives of modern and historical saints teach us about perseveranceWhy prayer, hope, forgiveness, and trust are at the heart of holinessHow you can begin developing a friendship with the saints in your own spiritual life About Patti Websites: https://pattimaguirearmstrong.com/ Eucharistic Miracles Website by St. Carlo Acutis Television Show: Ladies of Another View on BEK TV Fulton Sheen TV Quote: "I am not afraid.

    Letting Yourself Be Loved

    Season 4, Episode 9: Letting Yourself Be LovedGuest: Sister Mary Jo Sobieck, OP Why is it often so much easier to love others than to receive love ourselves? Many of us spend our lives believing we have to earn love through achievement, service, or perfection. Yet the Gospel tells a different story. We are loved simply because we are God's beloved sons and daughters. In this heartfelt conversation, Kimberly is joined by Sister Mary Jo Sobieck, OP, a Dominican Sister of Springfield, Illinois, whose joyful ministry and daily Today's Pitch reflections have encouraged thousands to begin each day remembering God's goodness. Together, they explore why receiving love can feel so difficult, how childhood wounds and past hurts shape our view of ourselves, and what it means to truly believe that we are worthy of God's love. Drawing from their own experiences of faith, healing, and ministry, Kimberly and Sister Mary Jo discuss vulnerability, trust, self-compassion, prayer, identity, and the freedom that comes from living as beloved children of God. They also reflect on the witness of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's familiar words, "God love you," and why that simple phrase continues to speak so powerfully today. If you've ever questioned your worth, struggled to believe you are enough, or longed to experience God's love more deeply, this episode offers hope, encouragement, and a gentle invitation to stop striving and simply receive the love that has always been yours. In this episode, you'll discover: Why receiving love is often harder than giving itHow past wounds can make vulnerability feel unsafeThe difference between knowing God loves you and believing itPractical ways to open your heart to God's love through prayerHow healthy relationships help us experience God's loveWhy your identity is rooted in being God's beloved, not in what you achieve or produce You don't have to earn God's love. You only have to let yourself be loved. You are already fully known and fully loved by God. 🎧 Listen to The Butterfly Girl Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Pandora, and wherever you stream podcasts. 🌐 Learn more about Kimberly Souba: Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ksouba.com⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/FaithAndWonderBooks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: @adventuresinfaithandwonder

    Becoming Someone Who Trusts Again

    Trust can be broken in a moment, but rebuilding it is often a much longer journey. Whether you've been wounded by a relationship, experienced betrayal, endured abuse, or simply learned that the world wasn't always a safe place, trusting again can feel impossible. Yet healing doesn't ask us to pretend the pain never happened. Instead, it gently invites us to rediscover hope, wisdom, and the courage to open our hearts again. This episode is not about returning to blind trust. It is about learning to trust with discernment, healthy boundaries, and renewed confidence that our past does not have to determine our future. In this episode, you'll discover: Why broken trust affects every area of our livesThe difference between forgiveness and rebuilding trustHow trauma changes the way we see relationshipsWhy healthy boundaries are essential for healingLearning to trust yourself againFinding the courage to believe people can be safeHow God gently restores what betrayal has damagedPractical steps toward becoming open without becoming vulnerable to harmMemorable reminder: "Nothing is lost in the mind of God." 🎧 Listen to The Butterfly Girl Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Pandora, and wherever you stream podcasts. 🌐 Learn more about Kimberly Souba: Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ksouba.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/FaithAndWonderBooks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: @adventuresinfaithandwonder Learn more about: Tara Lee Ayotte 🌐 Website: ⁠https://www.lotusandlight.ca/⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/taraleeayotte⁠

    What Grief Teaches Us About Living

    Grief touches every human life. Sometimes grief comes through the death of someone we love. Other times it arrives through broken relationships, infertility, trauma, illness, unmet dreams, or the loss of the life we thought we would have. Often, one loss uncovers other grief we did not even realize we were carrying. In this deeply honest and compassionate episode of the Butterfly Girl Podcast, Kimberly is joined by hospice nurse and bereavement coordinator Lisa Levy for a conversation about what grief teaches us about living. Drawing from both professional experience and personal reflection, Kimberly and Lisa explore: Why grief is about far more than deathCommon misconceptions about the grieving processHow grief reveals the depth of our love and attachmentThe relationship between faith and griefWhy grief and joy are not opposites, but often coexistWhat people truly need when they are grievingPractical ways to support those experiencing lossFinding hope while carrying sorrow Together, they discuss the sacredness of ordinary moments, the importance of presence, and the reality that we do not simply "get over" grief. Instead, we learn how to carry it while continuing to live, love, and hope. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, a dream, your health, or another significant life change, this conversation offers encouragement, understanding, and hope for the journey ahead. Because you do not have to choose between grieving and living. Both can exist together.

In this episode, Kimberly is joined by her longtime friend, Janean Doherty, for a heartfelt conversation about discovering holiness in the everyday rhythms of life. Together, they explore how God meets us in daily routines, family life, interrupted plans, quiet acts of service, and the countless moments that often go unnoticed. As a wife, mother of three, homeschool educator, nurse, and advocate for women and families through Life's Connections, Janean shares how her vocation has taught her that faithfulness is often found not in extraordinary accomplishments but in ordinary acts of love. Together, Kimberly and Janean reflect on the beauty of hidden work, the sacredness of caring for others, and the quiet ways God transforms us one faithful day at a time.

    Scripture that Became Shelter

    Some passages of Scripture do more than inspire us. They become places of refuge. In this episode, Kimberly reflects on the Bible verses that have carried her through seasons of grief, trauma, uncertainty, healing, and transformation.
