Life Coaching & Emotions with Nicky Bevan
Friday Mar 21, 2025
Friday Mar 21, 2025
In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and incredible life coach, Nicky Bevan. Nicky is a no-nonsense, deeply compassionate coach for working moms who love their careers and fiercely love their children—but find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck in the cycle of mom guilt.
We dive into Nicky’s journey into life coaching, how it transformed her mindset and family life, and why so many women struggle with balancing work, motherhood, and their own well-being. She shares her powerful insights on time management, emotional resilience, and the importance of shifting our thoughts to create the life we truly desire.
we explore the power of our thoughts and the authority we have over what we choose to believe about ourselves, our circumstances, and others. We discuss the gift of free will in shaping our mindset while also recognizing that we don’t have to force ourselves into constant positivity. Instead, we can embrace the full spectrum of emotions as part of our human experience.
Learn how allowing ourselves to fully feel—without shame—creates deeper peace and alignment with God. Fear, for example, isn’t something to eliminate but rather something to learn from and walk with in the right moments. We also discuss cultural expectations around emotions, the importance of modeling emotional acceptance for our children, and how experiencing the full range of feelings helps us better understand God’s wisdom and love.
Join us as we unpack how to move through emotions with grace, embrace God’s design for our feelings, and step into greater freedom in our faith and daily life.

Fasting Beyond Food: Transforming Your Mind and Soul This Lent
Friday Mar 14, 2025
Friday Mar 14, 2025
In this episode, we’re diving deep into a powerful yet often overlooked aspect of fasting—fasting beyond food. While many of us associate fasting with giving up certain foods or social media during Lent, Pope Francis invites us to go deeper, to fast from the habits and thought patterns that hold us back from fully stepping into God’s plan for our lives.
I’ll explore how fasting from negativity, worry, self-doubt, and fear can open the door to greater clarity, peace, and alignment with God. When we let go of these mental and emotional burdens, we create space for gratitude, joy, patience, and trust—transforming our daily lives from the inside out.
I’ll also connect these insights to life coaching and how shifting your mindset can help you step into your God-given identity with confidence. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re constantly battling negative thoughts, this episode will give you practical ways to break free and embrace the abundant life God desires for you.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to fast this Lent—one that can truly impact your life—this episode is for you! Tune in and discover the power of fasting beyond the physical and into the spiritual and emotional transformation God is calling you to.

Discovering Your Charisms: with Jill Simons
Friday Mar 07, 2025
Friday Mar 07, 2025
Did you know that the Holy Spirit has given you unique gifts designed to help you serve the Church and those around you? These gifts, known as charisms, are more than just talents or skills—they are supernatural graces meant to bring you deeper joy, fulfillment, and alignment with God’s plan for your life.
In this episode, I sit down with Jill Simons, director of Many Parts Ministry, to explore what charisms are, how they differ from natural abilities, and why they matter in our faith journey. Jill shares her wisdom on how to recognize and develop your charisms, the common struggles people face in embracing their gifts, and how living out your charisms can transform not only your own life but also the lives of those you serve.
If you’ve ever felt a tug on your heart to do something more but weren’t sure what that looked like, this conversation will help you uncover the unique ways God is calling you to shine. Tune in to learn how to discern your charisms and step into your mission with confidence!

What’s the Difference? Life Coaching vs. Therapy, Consulting, and Mentorship
Friday Feb 28, 2025
Friday Feb 28, 2025
Life coaching is often misunderstood—some think it's the same as therapy, while others confuse it with consulting or mentorship. In this episode, I break down the key differences between these four roles and how life coaching is unique. You’ll learn how coaching helps you move forward, why it’s different from emotional healing or expert advice, and whether it's the right next step for you. I also share how my approach to life coaching is different—keeping God at the center of the journey. If you’ve ever wondered what a life coach actually does and how faith plays a role in the process, this episode will bring clarity and help you understand how coaching can transform your life.

When God’s Timing Doesn’t Make Sense
Friday Feb 21, 2025
Friday Feb 21, 2025
Have you ever felt frustrated when things don’t go as planned? Maybe you’ve faced unexpected detours, delays, or challenges that left you wondering why God would allow them. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a recent trip to Italy, where what seemed like an inconvenient delay turned into a powerful reminder of God’s divine orchestration.
Through this experience, I was reminded that God is always working behind the scenes, even when we don’t see it. Sometimes, He places us exactly where we need to be—not where we planned, but where He knows we’ll experience His grace in unexpected ways. Whether it’s through a chance encounter, a lesson we need to learn, or an opportunity to step into something greater, His plan is always bigger and better than ours.
Join me as we explore what it truly means to surrender our timeline, trust His perfect plan, and embrace the peace that comes from knowing we are exactly where we are meant to be. If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, impatience, or questioning why things aren’t happening the way you expected, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my personal journey of co-creating abundance with God and how it has transformed my life, business, and family. I used to believe that money only came from hard hustle, but God has shown me that He is the true provider and the CEO of my life and business.

Welcome to today’s episode! I am so thrilled and honored to have my dear friend Raquel on the podcast. She is a true inspiration and has an incredible story of how God has guided her to co-create with Him in both her faith and business journey. Raquel is the founder of The Little Rose Shop, a beautiful Catholic-inspired online store that focuses on bringing faith into the everyday lives of moms and their children.
In this conversation, Raquel shares her powerful story of becoming a mother at 21, overcoming personal struggles, and the transformative encounter with the Eucharist that changed the course of her life. We dive deep into how God calls us to bring Him into the smallest, quietest moments of our daily routines—whether it’s through a morning prayer mug or a quiet Mass book for children.
Raquel also opens up about the profound influence of St. Therese of Lisieux in her life, her business, and the way she finds beauty in the little moments—even those hidden in brokenness. From creating meaningful products like prayer mugs and swaddles to building a business rooted in faith, Raquel's story is a testament to the power of saying “yes” to God’s plan, no matter how small or unassuming it may seem.

Raquel’s journey will inspire you to find God in the ordinary and trust Him to transform your life in the most beautiful ways.
