    Struggle with Side Hustles & MLMs in Christian Mom Culture

    Struggle with Side Hustles & MLMs in Christian Mom Culture

    A solo reflection and dive into what's been weighing on my heart in participating and promoting these types of ventures. Not talking about families who generally need a second income but instead the world pushing that if you're on the internet, you might as well be making money and that leads us to be distracted, over spending, sometimes predatory in our relationships. Talk this out with me!

They're here to give insight on navigating the rocky road of marriage when trust takes a hit - everything from communication hiccups to full-blown (inevitable) crises.

Our guests are armed with battle-tested advice for kickstarting the trust-rebuilding process through a Catholic lens. 
    As the conversation unfolds, Sarah and Patrick serve up a buffet of practical tips for mending those trust fractures and fortifying your bond. From flexing your empathy muscles to setting healthy boundaries and holding each other accountable, they've got the playbook for turning your marriage around.
    They're also huge believers in seeking support when the going gets tough, which is why Patrick developed their program RESTORE Catholic Marriage.
    So, grab your tissues and get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions as Heather, Sarah, and Patrick take you on a journey from crisis to redemption.

Amazing Pod!

Super relatable to moms in every season trying to grow holiness! I personally love the “call outs” that are done in a way to bring us closer to Jesus! Would HIGHLY recommend!

Desirae Sifuentes ,

It feels like Heather is in the car with you

The conversations she has are so interesting, and the episodes where she is just chatting with you truly immerse you—as if she were right next to you and the two of you were talking away over coffee! She’s witty, hilarious, insightful, and down to earth. Holy Hot Mess is a fantastic podcast if you’re trying to get deeper into your faith, and incorporate it into you day without the effort being exhausting. I love listening to Heather!

IVF Episode Feedback

First I want to thank Heather for addressing the IVF topic with so much compassion. I went through a period of infertility before conceiving my first child and it has been deeply painful to see many Catholics addressing this topic without compassion and without even mentioning how difficult the cross of infertility is. I have found that the majority of people talking about this issue are not people who have gone through infertility themselves and it can be annoying to hear Catholics with many children telling us that children are such a gift. So thank you for addressing this in a sensitive way. That being said I do want to offer some constructive criticism when discussing infertility, especially to Catholics who carry this cross. The things that Catholic women going through infertility are most tired of hearing were all mentioned in this podcast: 1) the age old “You should try napro technology”. Unfortunately most people recommending napro don’t understand that napro doesn’t mean a pregnancy and that many women live in areas where they cannot access this care. 2) Catholics who haven’t experienced infertility love to remind others that hyperfertility is also a cross. I’m sure it is, but to women experiencing infertility this feels like a slap in the face. We cannot compare crosses, but try to imagine your life without your children and having spent years yearning for them. 3) although the purpose of this episode was to discuss IVF and I know there are many Catholic women who don’t know that IVF is immoral, many Catholic women do and being constantly reminded that IVF is wrong because we aren’t owed children gets annoying. Infertile Catholics want less yelling from the pulpit about IVF and more compassion. IVF is immoral and infertility is a heavy heavy cross. Those two realities exist at the same time. Just remember that infertility is hard to hear about from someone who hasn’t experienced it. Some of my favorite podcasts I’ve heard about infertility are when infertile women share their stories with people who don’t know what it’s like.
