| 16 Sep 2022 | Introducing Like A Mother | 00:25:42 | |
Catholic mothers face: criticism, comparison, worries & fears they’ll fail, overwhelming responsibilities, and at times, perhaps even resentment. But, there is also a remarkable joy as one mothers, and one comes to understand what motherhood is (and isn’t), and that joy is best shared from honest, authentic, revealing conversations about successes, failures, and the ongoing experience of learning how to be a mom. This episode will introduce the trajectory of the podcast, and include a conversation with my own mom, a Catholic convert who raised us in the Church, faced struggles with infertility, and whose daughters are both still (very) Catholic.

| 07 Nov 2022 | Motherhood: Managing the Full Moments with Emily Stimpson Chapman | 00:46:19 | |
Motherhood is full - full hands, full diapers, full fridges that hopefully lead to full tummies. In that fullness, a certain amount of juggling has to occur, and how the plates spin and the balls stay up in the air will look different for everyone. But, perhaps there are some ways to manage those full moments, and centralize the crazy so as to be fully joyful. Emily Stimpson Chapman joins us to share about her quick entry into motherhood after many years of waiting, and how she manages those full moments by embracing the fullness with trust, humility, and patience.

| 05 Dec 2022 | Marriage, NFP, & the Cross with Emily Frase | 00:37:48 | |

| 19 Dec 2022 | Big Decisions & Daily Discernment with Elizabeth Nava | 00:39:30 | |

| 06 Feb 2023 | Holding Lightly with Sister Josephine Garrett, CSFN | 00:49:01 | |
Motherhood is a lifetime lesson in detachment, a constant recognition that we only have so much control. Moms tend gardens where the Lord grows something remarkable, and religious sisters tend those gardens in beautiful, humble, and often unseen ways. Sister Josephine Garrett, a religious sister, mental health counselor, and author shares how she has learned how to hold her spiritual motherhood and spiritual children lightly, rather than grasp and clench with a spirit of control. Those lessons in holding lightly can benefit us all.
