    EP 72 MINISODE: The Healing Power of Forgiveness on the Journey to Alcohol Freedom

    EP 72 MINISODE: The Healing Power of Forgiveness on the Journey to Alcohol Freedom

    Send us a Text Message.
    Shatter the chains of unforgiveness and discover liberation on the other side of resentment. In this episode, I'll reveal the truth behind six myths surrounding forgiveness that often serve as barriers on the road to alcohol freedom.

    We'll unpack why forgiving is not a sign of weakness, nor does it pave the way for future harm. This episode promises to peel away the layers of misunderstanding that equate forgiveness with approval of wrongdoings, reaffirming that true forgiveness is an act of strength that empowers personal healing without necessitating reconciliation or erasing memories.

    Embark on a sacred journey as we harness the transformative energy of forgiveness through prayer, setting the stage for deep, personal healing.

    Here's a link to Fr. Mike Schmitz's Divine Mercy Sunday Homily: "Our Greatest Wound" that I reference in this episode. https://youtu.be/Xqt4o-T4EGQ?si=jcXM4oRbyg9f3Rc4

    EP 71: You Were Not Made for Comfort You Were Made for God

    EP 71: You Were Not Made for Comfort You Were Made for God

    Send us a Text Message.
    Have you ever boldly asked Jesus to remove your desire to drink? Drawing from the wisdom of Pope Benedict XVI, who once said, "The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort; you were made for greatness," we explore the journey towards sobriety through the lens of faith and greatness.
    This episode challenges you to confront your fears and dependencies, encouraging a life lived in full alignment with God's purpose. We discuss how the pursuit of comfort can often lead us away from our divine calling and how embracing discomfort can be the key to unlocking our true potential.
    I'm here for you. I'm praying for you. You are NOT alone!

    EP 70: God as the Master Diamond Cutter | Creating Facets of Faith Through Detachment & Sacrifice

    Send us a Text Message.
    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. They taught me invaluable lessons about the nature of faith—its ability to endure, adapt, and ultimately illuminate.

    I take you through the six transformative stages of diamond cutting, drawing insights into how each phase of adversity, surrender, and refinement shapes our character and faith. From the initial challenges that help cut away the excess and imperfections, to the final polish where our true purpose gleams with clarity, every step is a testament to God's masterful craftsmanship.
    This episode is an invitation to reflect on the beauty of our spiritual journey, recognizing that every hardship and act of humility is purposefully designed by God. Through prayer, service, and a life of surrender, we not only refine our faith but also become vibrant reflections of Christ's love.


    Whether facing your wilderness of adversity or simply seeking inspiration to deepen your spiritual walk, this narrative promises to uplift and encourage. Let's embark on this journey together, discovering the beauty in the process and the divine purpose that outshines even the brightest gem.

    Ep 68: Faith, Addiction, and the Power of Community with Steve O'Connor

    Ep 68: Faith, Addiction, and the Power of Community with Steve O'Connor

    Send us a Text Message.
    Steve O'Connor from Catholics Fight Porn is back again for a candid conversation on faith, addiction, and the power of community. We navigate the rugged terrain where personal struggles with addiction intersect with our pursuit of a spiritually anchored life.

    Steve shares insights into his coaching work and the profound impact of togetherness in battling the demons of pornography and sexual addiction, a topic that's often hidden in shadows but seeks the light of healing through our collective efforts.

    This episode is a tapestry of experiences, weaving my personal narrative with Steve's as we examine the effects of our Catholic upbringing and its role in shaping our responses to temptation and societal influences. It's a reflective look at how we have used substances and behaviors to cope and how these choices have led us to a deeper understanding of the sacredness of our existence and the need for a compassionate community in our journey toward self-control and spiritual communion.

    Through our discussion, we bring forth the notion that recovery is not just an individual triumph but a collective victory that transcends backgrounds and unites us in vulnerability and strength.
