358. Perimenopause & Weight Gain: Control What You Can Control
Perimenopause is coming—whether we feel ready or not. And for many women in their 30s and 40s, it brings a wave of questions about perimenopause symptoms, weight gain, fatigue, hormones, and metabolism.
In this series, we’re approaching perimenopause with honesty, nuance, and faith. No fear-based messaging. No empty “just accept it” advice. And no pretending you can control everything.
Instead, we’ll break down what’s actually happening in your body during perimenopause, what is within your control, and how to support your metabolism, hormones, and overall health through this transition. From weight changes and low energy to mood shifts and sleep disruptions—you’ll walk away with practical, realistic strategies you can use in your everyday life.
This is for the woman who wants to feel informed, prepared, and supported—without spiraling into fear or chasing unrealistic outcomes. If you’ve been wondering, “Is this perimenopause?” or “Why is my body changing?”—you’re in the right place.

357. Struggling to Stick to Your Routine? St. Benedict, Schedule Integrity & a Gentle Lenten Reset for Moms
Why is it so hard to follow the routines we carefully create?
In this episode, we’re talking about schedule integrity — the ability to honor the plan you already decided on — and why so many Catholic women feel stuck in the exhausting cycle of planning well and following through poorly.
After facing my own gap between intention and action, I went searching for wisdom deeper than productivity hacks… and found myself immersed in St. Benedict’s Rule of Life.
Over 1,500 years ago, Benedict was trying to answer the same questions we’re asking today:
How do we balance prayer and work?
How do we stay faithful inside real responsibility?
How do we avoid burnout without becoming passive?
How do rhythms create peace in a family or community?
If you are a Catholic woman who longs for:✨ consistent morning prayer✨ calmer days✨ less decision fatigue✨ follow-through on the habits that matter✨ a Christ-centered home rhythm
this conversation will feel like oxygen.
Plus — I’m inviting you into a free Lenten experience in my new free community. It’s a gentle, realistic morning rule of life built specifically for women in the middle of vocation, dishes, laundry, and real life.
Not intense.Not another $ wasted on a devotional you didn’t actually use.Not another program to fail.
Steady. Faithful. Repeatable.
We are growing in this together.

Am I in Perimenopause? Early Symptoms, Hormone Changes & Signs Most Women Miss
Published 1 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Welcome to the series. Let's dive into this perimenopause and weight situation that we're going to end up finding ourselves in. You don't know if you're there, maybe you are there, maybe you want to blame it on it and you have no idea. Let's figure it out, okay? So perimenopause is the transitional hormonal phase before menopause, where estrogen and progesterone begin fluctuating, often dramatically. It's not a sudden shutdown or just low hormones or something that just starts overnight. It's a gradual hormonal roller coaster, a metabolic and nervous system shift. It's a season that requires strategy, not shame. […]
