Ep. 101 How to Keep Your Mind(set) Out of the Gutter
Nourished to Bloom⏐Christ Centered Intuitive Eating, Food Freedom & Body Confidence for Catholic & Christian Moms
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. That all-or-nothing thinking is more common than we realize—and if we’re not careful, it can send our mindset rolling straight into the gutter. In this week’s episode, we’re talking mindset, self-awareness, and how to stop the spiral before it takes over—using a...

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. So many of us “wander” in quiet, subtle ways… not by rejecting God, but by forgetting who we are in Him. We hand our worth, our dignity, and our identity over to the...

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’...

Ep. 92 Finding Your Fiat: Your Blueprint for Saying Yes to the Lord
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 felt like you’re doing all the “right things” — taking care of your family, trying to take care of your body, showing up in your faith — yet deep down, you feel a little… lost?
Like somewhere between motherhood, routines, and responsibilities, you misplaced pieces of who God created you to be?
You’re not alone.
In this episode, I’m opening my heart and sharing a stirring the Lord has been placing on me for months — a deepening of what wellness truly means as a Catholic woman.
In this episode we’ll explore:
✨ What happens when we don’t feel connected to our identity
✨ Why body peace starts with knowing who we are in Christ
✨ How God nudges us into new seasons — even when they feel scary
✨ The moment with her daughter that made her realize she had to say yes to God, too
✨ What’s shifting on the podcast (and why it’s so, so good)
This isn’t a change in direction — it’s an expansion into whole-person wellness: mind, body, and soul.
For the woman learning to make peace with food and the woman asking “Lord, what now?” — this space is for you.
If your heart feels stirred listening to this episode, you are seen. And you are being called — gently, lovingly — deeper into who you were made to be in Him.
Let’s walk this together. 💛
💛 If this episode spoke to you, I’d love for you to share it with a friend who might need to hear it too. And if your heart is stirring, send me a message at kara@karatrochta.com — let’s talk about what God is placing on your heart and how you can say yes to Him in this season.
