Women can learn a lot about the vocation of motherhood from contemplative nuns. Whether a woman's vocation is to be a mother in the context of married life or the spiritual motherhood of religious life, both vocations have Our Lady as their source and inspiration.
Both vocations involve a life of sacrifice and humility.
Dr. Mary Cuff, author of Mother to Mother, shares how this book came about on today's episode. Her book introduces all moms to contemplative nuns who offer their insight into the common struggles of motherhood.
Through a question-and-answer format, these nuns from various monasteries give wisdom gained from their cloisters and offer it to mothers who are present in the domestic Church.

It was a summer of pilgrimages! It began with an International Marian Shrine Pilgrimage and ended with a national pilgrimage for the Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, Indiana.
On the Pilgrimage of Hope, through Portugal, Spain, and France, our Catholic faith and sense of history were deepened as we studied the apparitions of the Blessed Mother and the footsteps of the Apostles and Saints.
We prayed, fasted, and wept at many tombs of great Saints. This is part 1 of a 2-part series, as there is so much I want to share with you about my experience on these pilgrimages.

This episode is a recording of my interview on the Mamas in Spirit Podcast with Lindy Wynne. We talked about my journey from dieting to prayer and fasting and how I discovered the art of Delay and Pray™.
Lindy's podcast is a retreat-style podcast and she gets very personal with her questioning so that we can enter into the sacred space of mission where Jesus feeds us with His love.
I hope you find it interesting and inspiring so that you, too, can shift from vanity to sanctity - from the diet mentality to spiritual fasting and the art of Delay and Pray™.

Today I sit down with an amazing guest who is world famous and I feel like I have known all my life through his music.
John Michael Talbot is a Catholic author, musician, and the founder of Brothers and Sisters of Charity. His new book and album, Late Have I Loved You are magnificent pieces of art.
In this conversation, you will not only hear his story but also my story of how he so beautifully held me up with his music during a very difficult time in my life.
In this era of doing, doing, doing, his journey is worth hearing because he shares how contemplation with Jesus is the most important thing you could ever do.

This episode is going to be a little different as we just experienced the opening ceremony of the Olympics in France last weekend, where some of the opening scenes were outright immoral, confusing, and mocked the Catholic faith in several ways.
I felt called to create a response on my podcast on this subject because there is such a need for prayer and fasting now for justice and reparation for what happened.
We can see the culture sinking deeply into vice – a place that is very immoral and dangerous for the soul as well as the body.
In the Delay and Pray™ program, we talk quite a bit about virtues and vices, and it seems as if the world has no idea what a virtue or a vice is.
It really is time for Catholics to stand up for moral, beautiful, soulful, and pure entertainment for our families.

I've learned that age is not limiting - it's filled with wisdom and a unique work of its own. It's freeing, actually. My client, Beverly, has taught me a lot about this.
If you've ever felt that you are too old to begin learning how to spiritually fast, I'd like to challenge you to consider that it is just a thought and one that is not true.
This is an interview with one of my star clients, Dr. Beverly McMillan who has been through the Delay and Pray™ group coaching program and in the Keep Fasting Alumni community since January 2023. She is 81 years young and has lost over 20 lbs since beginning the program.
Losing this weight has been helpful to her knees as she prepares to hike the Camino de Santiago this Fall with her three sons.
Beverly shares her faith journey with us, including her reversion back to the Catholic Church. The Lord touched her heart, causing her to become active in Pro-Life Mississippi, where she is still active today. You won't want to miss her story.

At The Catholic Fasting Coach, we always fast for freedom over the summer and schedule small fasts over the week of 4th of July in honor of freedom for our country.
Don't let that scare you. This is a week of celebration, but moderation in eating and drinking can be practiced over any holiday with joy. There is no wagon when Jesus Christ is involved.
The Holy Spirit recently led me to think of the Liberty Bell. It has a crack in it if you recall. We must ring the bell of prayer and fasting to keep our liberty and do it with a heavenly perspective.
When you are hungry and praying - expect miracles to happen.
Don't let your cracks and imperfections prevent you from praying and fasting.

I read a book a long time ago called Think and Eat Yourself Smart by Dr. Caroline Leaf. She has an interesting explanation of hunger that I have always considered relevant.
Our minds and our gut are integrated acutely - says Dr. Leaf. For example, our feelings such as happiness, joy, pleasure, anger, anxiety, sadness, and bitterness can trigger physical reactions in our digestive systems.
Dr. Leaf points to a gut-brain link that proves that biology, neurology, and theology are all integrated within us and why it is so important to make sure we implant the word of God which is living and true, into our minds so that it affects every part of our body positively.
Gain insights on the gut-brain link, emotional eating, and the transformative impact of integrating scripture into our thoughts.

Hunger can be physical and emotional. Allowing hunger helps us to recognize waves and layers of hunger in our body. It allows us to connect lovingly to our body and care for it appropriately.
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, so it deserves our attention and care. Nutrition, portion sizes, slowly consuming food, and movement are so important, but sometimes we are just too busy to think about it all.
The Hunger Scale helps you eat to enough. I share insights on recognizing and managing different levels of hunger and fullness.
Remember, we are practicing the art of Delay and Pray™, not deny and Pray. Let's dine in with Jesus together.

What are your feelings about art? Does it inspire you? Do you take time to go to art museums, walk through slowly, and gaze at paintings and sculptures of really talented people?
Artwork inspires me. I have quite a bit of religious art in my home and am constantly reminded of Christ's presence within me and my home.
I will be adding one more piece of art to my dining room - The feet of Jesus, as painted by Joanne Von Zwehl. Wait until you hear the discussion of the inspiration behind these 6 images of Jesus' feet. You are going to love it.
JoAnne Von Zwehl is a celebrated artist and serves as the President of the Rosa Mystica House of Prayer Foundation in upstate New York. We hear some interesting stories about her art and this beautiful place today and how they are intertwined.
JoAnne has a special interest in prayer, fasting, and adoration, and shares why in this episode. Enjoy!

Father Richard Conlin's book "9 Days to Corpus Christi" is the first-ever consecration program to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
The Solemnity of Corpus Christi is around the corner, so Fr. Conlin joined me to share insights from his devotion to the Eucharistic Jesus and much more. We discuss his awesome book and how our lives are a continual seeking of Jesus in the Sacraments.
His book has stories that will touch your heart and help you fast. I found it so compelling, that I plan to read it every year as I consecrate myself to Jesus at this very time in the Church Calendar.
I think you will be amused as we talk about my favorite story in the book involving the Road Runner cartoon and a playful game of hide and seek with his nieces. He says this is how Jesus works.
We talk about eating, fasting, feasting, and the actual playfulness of it all, with the High Feast being the Blessed Sacrament on Sundays.

Forming a set of virtuous patterns to adhere to is often just the ticket to a life of freedom where obedience to the more virtuous things is a better choice than taking action from what I am feeling at the moment.
This is best done out of obedience and for love of the other. Love of the other is the absolute key here.
In part two of this topic, I emphasize the importance of leading with love, obedience over passion, and consecration to Mary, St. Joseph, and the Eucharistic Jesus.
I speak about the trending quick weight loss methods and advocate for a mindset shift towards food freedom through spiritual development and coaching.

Creating a Rule of Life around Spiritual Fasting is from ancient Catholic Tradition and has been around forever. As humans, we love patterns and were created to strive for good virtuous habits.
Do you take the time to really ask yourself: “How am I going to live my life this week or this day?” If you do, good for you! That’s a win. If not, I can help you because this is where freedom lies.
A Rule of Life is very similar with a little virtuous thought thrown in. If used correctly it will shine a light on God‘s will for you and your mission given from Him. I use it from morning until night— and it is why my delay and pray efforts are so successful — both personally and as a business.
It's a way to shift from the Vice Cycle to the Virtue Cycle — from the over-desire of food and alcohol to the holy desire of the one True Food — Jesus Christ. In part one of this topic, I share what is needed for a good regimen within a rule of life, with tips from our favorite exorcist, Fr. Ripperger.

My book coach, Nika Maples didn't just help me write and publish my first book, but also took my course and group coaching experience, Delay and Pray™, and got phenomenal results!
She has lost 50 pounds since starting the Delay and Pray™ program last July. She has an incredible and inspiring story, and I am certain you will relate to her thoughts about sugar and losing weight at her age.
Nika is not Catholic, but as a Protestant, she is on fire for God, and we share similar values and love for Jesus. We discuss the power of perseverance amid challenges, when it comes to writing a book and losing weight, or any other project you may have, and how we can do hard things through the power of the Holy Spirit.
One of the powerful breakthroughs that Nika had during the course was:
Food is not my celebration, and food is not my motivation.
I encourage you to listen to this episode if you have thoughts or questions like:
What results can I get from the Delay and Pray™ Group Coaching Experience?Why do I need coaching to lose weight, grow closer to God, or achieve a goal?Do I need to be Catholic to go through the Delay and Pray™ program and get results?We share our collaboration experiences, and how, even as coaches, we need coaching in other areas of our lives that are not our areas of expertise. We explore themes of obedience, trust in God's providence, and the commitment and dedication required for successful coaching and achieving our goals for the glory of God.
