Speaker A:

Hello.

Speaker A:

I'm dropping in here on Monday with something special I don't normally do.

Speaker A:

I wanted to take a few moments just to talk to you, to have a heart to heart about something.

Speaker A:

I believe that could be the turning point in your journey.

Speaker A:

I'm hosting a live 45 minute discern your purpose workshop on November 17th and I believe this could be the breakthrough moment that you've been praying for.

Speaker A:

You've been listening to this podcast and because you want to finally know what God is calling you to do next, this is for you.

Speaker A:

And if you're ready to stop wondering and start discerning with more clarity, this is your next step.

Speaker A:

I know what it's like to feel that quiet tug in your heart.

Speaker A:

You just know that there's something more that God is calling you to, but you're not quite sure what it is or how to move forward.

Speaker A:

Now I know how easy it is to think.

Speaker A:

I really don't have time for another thing right now.

Speaker A:

But here's the truth.

Speaker A:

This workshop isn't just another thing on your to do list.

Speaker A:

This is a sacred space, a time set apart to pause, breathe and invite God in to the question that's been on your heart for so long.

Speaker A:

When you join me live, here's what you walk away with.

Speaker A:

You'll discover who you are in God and why that matters for your purpose.

Speaker A:

So you'll learn how your true identity in him shapes the unique way that you're called to live and serve.

Speaker A:

You'll deepen your relationship with God and grow in peace and clarity.

Speaker A:

You'll strengthen your prayer life and awareness of how he's been actually guiding you, maybe in ways you haven't even noticed.

Speaker A:

You'll uncover the first clues to your God given mission and take your next faithful step.

Speaker A:

You'll leave with fresh hope, direction, and a clearer sense of how to begin walking in his plan for you.

Speaker A:

You'll leave with a workbook, clarity and a clear next step to start walking in your purpose.

Speaker A:

Because here's what happens when you create space to listen, God speaks.

Speaker A:

That's what this workshop is.

Speaker A:

A moment to slow down, to reflect, and to finally start discerning your next step with Him.

Speaker A:

If you've ever felt this tug, that quiet ache inside you that says there's something more, this is your invitation.

Speaker A:

If you've ever been stuck or if your heart's been whispering, God, show me what's next, I want you to know this is your invitation.

Speaker A:

It's time to stop sitting in confusion and start walking with confidence, knowing that God has a plan for you and he's ready to reveal it one faithful step at a time.

Speaker A:

You've been praying for clarity.

Speaker A:

This is your invitation to take the next faithful step.

Speaker A:

And here's what I know for sure.

Speaker A:

God will do amazing things if you give him Your Yes.

Speaker A:

Like St. Catherine of Siena said, be who God meant you to be, and you will set the world on fire.

Speaker A:

So join me live for the discern your purpose workshop on November 17th.

The GO-TO Podcast for Catholic Moms Ready to Go from Confused to Clarity in Discerning God’s Will



Do you want to follow God’s will — but don’t trust that you’re hearing Him clearly?

Are you praying for direction, yet still stuck overthinking every option and afraid of choosing the wrong thing?

Have you felt called to something more, yet overwhelmed by motherhood and unsure how to discern God’s next step?

Do you long to hear God and take faithful steps forward — but feel like you don’t have the time, space, or clarity to do it as a busy Catholic mom?

I’m so glad you’re here.

This podcast will help you learn how to hear God and discern His will — even when you feel overwhelmed or short on time.

Each week, you’ll discover simple, faith-based guidance to help you create space for God, gain clarity, and take faithful steps forward in your daily life so you can live the purpose God is inviting you to.

Hello, I’m Michelle — a wife, mom, and cradle Catholic.

On the outside, I was doing everything I was “supposed” to do — school, marriage, kids — and life looked fine. But on the inside, I felt uncertain, overwhelmed, and quietly wondering, Is this all there is? What is God really calling me to do?

I asked question after question about my purpose. I prayed, journaled, researched, and tried to figure it out on my own — yet I still felt stuck. Searching online “What is my purpose?” only left me more overwhelmed and confused.

Everything began to shift when, through mindset work and prayer, I started turning to God with that question instead of trying to solve it myself. I sensed He had created me for something specific. Through prayer and Catholic teaching, I learned how to slow down, listen, and discern God’s guidance.

That journey led me to a simple, faith-based, step-by-step way of discerning God’s will — one that brought clarity, peace, and forward movement.
And now, I’m ready to share that journey with you!

If you're a busy Catholic mom tune in:
• For a simple, discernment-based path to hear God,
• To discern His will, and
• To take faithful steps forward without feeling overwhelmed

Whether you’re folding laundry, multitasking, or finally sitting down — let’s do this!

Like many Catholic moms, I felt the quiet nudge of the Holy Spirit—and the persistent question that followed: What is my purpose?
On the outside, life looked fine. But internally, I felt a deep ache and a longing for clarity.

For me, that question surfaced during pregnancy, while laying on the couch with morning sickness, wrestling with the sense that God had created me for something specific—but I didn’t know what it was or how to discern it.

I wanted answers grounded in the Catholic faith.
Not internet noise.
Not well-meaning but misguided advice.

So I turned to God in prayer and Scripture, opening my heart to Him and asking for direction. One day, while listening to a Fr. Mike Schmitz homily, God answered my prayer. I was overcome with tears as I realized—without a doubt—that I did have a unique purpose God created me for.

But even then, I still didn’t know how to live it out.

I kept praying, journaling, and searching, yet felt confused, overwhelmed, and unsure if I was truly hearing God’s voice. What eventually changed wasn’t that God started speaking louder—it was that I learned how to slow down, ask better questions, and recognize how He was already guiding me.

Now, through my podcast Living Her Purpose with God and my discernment coaching, I help Catholic moms learn how to hear God, discern His will, and take faithful steps forward—without pressure, fear, or spiritual confusion.

If you’ve been praying, seeking, and still feeling unsure, you’re not doing anything wrong.
You were simply never taught how to discern.

And I’d be honored to walk with you as you learn.

Let’s do this!
