Hey friend—have you ever noticed how one small moment can send your whole day (or week!) spiraling? Maybe we miss a workout, snap at our kids, or eat something we said we wouldn’t… and suddenly our mind jumps straight to, “Why do I even bother? This is just how I am.” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Ep. 94 This is Your Prodigal Son Moment
Nourished to Bloom⏐Christ Centered Intuitive Eating, Food Freedom & Body Confidence for Catholic & Christian Moms
Have you ever been folding laundry or sitting in the carpool line when, out of nowhere, you feel that little gut-punch moment of clarity— “Wait… when did I start measuring my worth by everything except what God says about me?” 🫠 You’re not the only one. This week on Nourished to Bloom, we’re diving into the powerful parable of the prodigal son—and reframing it as our story as women in middle motherhood.

Ep. 93 What Are You Doing with Your Gold Coin?
Nourished to Bloom⏐Christ Centered Intuitive Eating, Food Freedom & Body Confidence for Catholic & Christian Moms
Hey friends — this week on Nourished to Bloom, we’re diving into a passage of Scripture that hits right at the heart of who we are becoming: the Parable of the Gold Coin from Luke 19:11–28. So many of us feel like God has entrusted us with something special — a talent, a passion, a story — but fear convinces us to tuck it away, keep quiet, or stay small. Whether we’re in the “middle” years of motherhood, career, or faith, many of us are quietly wondering: Who am I now? What is God asking of me? And what if I mess it all up? In this episode, we explore how Jesus’...

Nourished to Bloom⏐Christ Centered Intuitive Eating, Food Freedom & Body Confidence for Catholic & Christian Moms
Hey friends! I’m so glad you’re joining me for another heartfelt episode of Nourished to Bloom. Today we’re diving into a question that whispers quietly but persistently in so many of our hearts: What does it actually look like to say YES to God as you write the next chapter of your sacred story? If you’re in that “middle motherhood” space—not a new mom, not an empty nester, just somewhere beautifully in-between—you may feel a gentle nudge toward something more. A little more stillness. A little more curiosity. A lot more questions. If you’ve ever wondered what God’s...
info_outlineHave you ever found yourself totally overwhelmed by all the mixed messages about who you’re supposed to be? Maybe you catch yourself scrolling Instagram, quietly comparing your energy to yet another “perfect” influencer mom, and suddenly you’re wondering if you’re falling short in your calling?
You’re not alone. Seriously — all that noise out there can make it almost impossible to understand who you truly are and what God’s asking of you.
But what if you actually had a built-in guide to cut through the chaos and see yourself as God does — enough, loved, and deeply designed on purpose?
This week on Nourished to Bloom, we’re doing exactly that with the Gift of Understanding.
We’re in week two of our “Summer with the Holy Spirit” series, and let me tell you, this episode is the soul-clarity refresher you’ve been craving.
Here’s a taste:
✨ Why the gift of Understanding is KEY to untangling confusion in our noisy world (and why wisdom alone just isn’t enough)
🌱 A beautiful, story-centered way to see your place in God’s history (seriously, the “blank page” analogy will 🤯)
🪞 Practical ways to get to know who you are — including an intro to the FOUR classic temperaments (choleric, sanguine, melancholic, phlegmatic) and how these unique “wiring” patterns impact your motherhood, body image, and wellness
🙏 Real-life encouragement to STOP the comparison trap and celebrate your authentic, God-given beauty (because you were never meant to be a carbon copy!)
🔍 Plus: Action steps and resources — like a free temperament quiz & workshop — so you can get curious about your unique personality and start living your purpose with confidence
The Holy Spirit’s gift of understanding isn’t just some lofty concept but a practical tool to help you know yourself, embrace your body and soul, and say “yes” to the mission God has uniquely equipped you for.
