You know prayer is the most important thing. So why is it the first thing to go?

You want to spend time with God.
You want to feel connected, guided, and inspired.

But between breakfast, laundry, driving, meltdowns, and everything else…
you feel like you can’t win.

And when you do try to pray, it’s scattered and rushed. You feel guilty. You wonder why it’s so hard.

You tell yourself, “Maybe when life slows down.”

But what if it’s not about waiting for the chaos to end…
What if it’s about letting prayer anchor you in the middle of it?

 

“I felt a huge shift in just 30 days”

“By the end of the first month, I was already yelling less and feeling more peace.”

— Catherine

I mean, shouldn’t you just be thankful for what you have? Suck it up and handle your suffering with grace?

You’re trying, but the never-ending tasks and insane mental load leave you feeling like you’re always behind, running on empty, and buried under a Goliath-sized mountain of laundry, sticky floors, and children (and husbands) with constant demands.

I see you.

You’re not alone.

Many Catholic moms–good, holy women–feel like they’re barely keeping their heads above water, barely hanging on.

Introducing
Mary's Heart, Martha's Order

A 6-week Catholic challenge for moms who want to:

Pray more, feel less overwhelmed, and finally live the life God is calling them to—without dropping all the balls.

Because when you give God ten focused minutes a day…
The rest of your life really does get easier.

“My family is noticing the difference in me.”

“My husband and kids have said I seem lighter, happier, more present.

It’s amazing how just ten minutes a day of prayer and planning has made such a visible change.”

— Maria

I've helped thousands of Catholic moms.

For ten years, I’ve helped women make sense of the chaos of motherhood so they can drop the crushing guilt that they’re screwing everything up.

It doesn’t matter what life stage you’re in… littles to adult children.

When you tell yourself you’re failing… all day long… it’s exhausting.

Systems plus the love and care of Jesus completely changes your life and gives you so much of your energy back. Life doesn’t have to be draining!

Week 1

Transform Your Time:

create a calendar that Brings Freedom and Peace

Create a calendar that works for your family and gives you lots of freedom so you feel empowered by–not beholden to your calendar. 

This week…

  • Learn my signature process for remaking your calendar so you can fit in all the things you need (and want!) to do AND feel great about it. This is the same method I use to manage six homeschooled children, run a business, attend daily Mass, and play board games with the kids. 
  • Shape your calendar so you have more freedom no matter what activities are scheduled. I have a full day from 6 am to 8 pm, take good care of myself, and don’t feel rushed.
  • Discover the ONE thing virtually no Catholic mom puts on her calendar. This makes every other aspect of their home management and motherhood easier. The first time you hear it, it’ll sound crazy, but then, it’s THE game-changer. 

Say goodbye to calendar stress, overwhelm, and the frantic craze that comes with a busy schedule and feel peaceful, calm, and in control of what’s happening each day.

Week 2

Mary's Peace in Any Storm:

5 questions to bring you peace no matter what you're going through

This is one of those life-changing tools. In fact, it’s what we are most popular for! We can teach you how to have that Peter walking on the water peace no matter what’s going on in your life.

This week…

  • Discover the five questions to ask to get clarity and peace. #1 by itself is a game-changing question.
  • Learn what challenges in your life require action and which require acceptance. This will give you so much of your energy back by saving you time worrying about things you can’t change.
  • This is easy.– I promise you’ll want to turn right around and teach this to your kids so they can cope with life’s challenges better!

You’ll walk away with a simple tool that you can use anytime, and it takes less than five minutes. The result is way more peace!

Week 3

Decrease Stress and Clutter

TECHNIQUES TO RETURN TO CALM AND DECLUTTER FROM PEACE

A lot of our stress is optional! Learn how to identify when you’re in a stress state and come back to the Lord. To test our new tools, we’ll do some decluttering from peace.

 

This week…

  • You’ll learn ways to calm down including simple breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and using your senses to return to peace.

  • Understand the stress states of Fight/Flight (Hyper-arousal) and Freeze/Dissociation (Hypo-arousal) so you can choose the right reset before deeper prayer.

  • Tackle the challenge of decluttering from a place of peace, deciding what to purge and using staging areas like KEEP, RELOCATE, and DONATE.

  • Learn tips for success, like setting a timer for 50 minutes of focused work followed by a break, and taking a before picture.

Week 4

Protocols and Mastering Mealtimes:

Simple Meal Planning and Problem Solving

Stop the drama around meal planning and create an easy-to-stick-to weekly plan that brings peace to your evenings and creates more quality time together.

This week…

  • Learn how to build Protocols for specific difficult scenarios (like a migraine or a sick child) deciding ahead of time what you will and will not do.

  • Discover and create your Green/Yellow/Red Protocol for prolonged suffering or busy seasons to manage your energy levels and simplify your expectations.

  • Learn multiple fool-proof strategies for meal planning that don’t involve last-minute scrambles or spending all weekend prepping.

  • Discover effective food management strategies like leveraging online grocery shopping, using a digital list, and having a system for leftovers.

Week 5

Discernment & Laundry Systems:

GETTING TO KNOW GOD'S VOICE AND SIMPLIFYING THE LOAD

Lean on the same guidance that Mary did by learning to hear God’s voice, so we KNOW we’re doing God’s will. Simplify your laundry routine and lighten your load (literally and metaphorically).

This week…

  • Learn a 5-minute exercise for Discerning God’s Voice that involves clearing your heart, laying the situation before Him, and writing what you sense Him saying.

  • Review the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and their corresponding virtues, and focus on WHEN to use the gifts to leverage these holy superpowers in your daily life.

  • Implement Sterling’s Laundry Secrets that work in any home.

  • Feel great about your closets and a laundry system, and stop drowning in dirty laundry or spending your entire weekend catching up.

Week 6

Healing Wounds & Cleaning Out the Car:

REVISITING MEMORIES WITH CHRIST AND TURNING YOUR CAR INTO AN ASSISTANT

Most moms have a super negative voice in their minds and this… is very draining. Jesus wouldn’t yell at you and Mary definitely wouldn’t berate you to be a better mom and homemaker.

This week…

  • You’ll learn first to pay attention to the voice in your mind so you can begin to hear how you speak to yourself. 
  • Then you’ll start shifting that inner mean girl voice to the soft, gentle, and encouraging voice that Mary has and oh man, does this begin to feel so lovely.
  • You’ll find a new way to motivate yourself that’s based on wanting to please the Lord instead of the harsh, shaming way you’ve been doing it.

Like yourself so much more because your inner voice is going to be sweet and kind. Can you even imagine that?

Week 7

Clear the Car Clutter:

Organize Your Car and Overcome Perfectionism

Jesus wouldn’t yell at you and Mary definitely wouldn’t berate you to be a better mom and homemaker. This week is about deep healing and functional order.

This week…

  • You’ll learn the Revisit a Memory with Jesus process, a prayer exercise where you invite Jesus or Mary to show you the truth of a past memory.

  • Practice powerful Renunciation Prayers to help break the power of lies you believe about yourself (like Rejection, Shame, and Hopelessness).

  • We will cover the essential processes for Forgiving Someone, Forgiving Yourself, and Forgiving God to release resentment and receive peace.

  • Tackle the clutter in your car and learn hacks to transform your vehicle into your “Personal Assistant” stocked with emergency supplies, so you can serve your family in a bigger way.

Mary's Heart, Martha's Order was created so that you can:

And because gift giving is my love language (especially for mamas), I’m also giving you these bonuses:

Bonus #1:

From Whining to Helping: Training Kids to Pitch In

(Value $49)

I don’t do dishes or laundry. 😲   My kids do that. Now… you have to have kids who are old enough (and tall enough) to do certain chores but as soon as they are able, it’s best to teach them pitch in. 

I will spill all my secrets to getting kids to help… and I mean really help. Not creating more work and mess than when they started. 

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • Step-by-step strategies for training kids how to do chores.
  • List of age-appropriate chores with other factors to consider (e.g. height, ADHD, personality type, etc.)
  • Plan for whining. I’ll teach you how to be cool as a cucumber when you say in your most Mary Poppins voice, “It’s okay that you feel that way, but please get your chores done anyway.”

Bonus #2:

14 Day Declutter Challenge

(Value $27)

When your home is messy, your brain works overtime just to process it—and you feel drained before the day even begins.

This 14-Day Challenge will help you clear the clutter and create calm, peaceful spaces—fast.

You’ll get two quick training videos and simple worksheets to guide you—no stress, no overwhelm, just small steps that make a big difference.

In just two weeks, you’ll feel lighter, have more energy, and love looking at your tidy, peaceful space

 

Bonus #3

The Decision Matrix

(Value $27)

Don’t you wish you could just go to Adoration and ask God what to do and He’d tell you a detailed answer with timelines and a checklist?

God rarely gives us that much detail but He does give us more clues than we think. 

Using the Catholic Mom Calm Decision Matrix, we help put numbers to 

✅ Evaluate what’s working and what needs work
✅ Figure out if you should travel to your in-laws this Christmas or not.
✅ Takes less than 5 minutes.
✅ Are sports helping or hurting your family?
✅ This tool makes the decision super clear.

Learn how to make confident, thoughtful decisions by using my signature Decision Matrix, a tool that will simplify your decision-making process and bring clarity to your choices.

“My marriage is way better.”

”This program isn’t about marriage, but it helped me be calmer and less reactive—and that’s changed everything at home.”

— Helen —

“I thought I needed a new planner. I needed this.”

”I kept buying planners and trying new systems, but nothing stuck. It turns out I didn’t need more tools—I needed peace, prayer, and a new way of thinking.

— Kelsey —

“We’re finally crawling out of survival mode.”

“This gave me a way to take steps forward without getting overwhelmed.”

Hey, mama!

I'm Sterling.

I’m a Catholic convert and mom of six, and there was a season in my life when I felt like I was drowning. 

Our home was disorganized, my tidying systems never worked, and I felt trapped by my role as mom. I complained to my husband, yelled at my kids, and thought I was ruining them. 

Not only would they not know how to fold laundry, but they’d need a couple of decades of therapy to recover from me being their mom. 

Then I learned something that changed everything. I learned how to create systems that worked for my family and how to get my brain on board every single day. 

It transformed my entire life. Now my home is organized, and I haven’t done a load of laundry in 4 years. Yes, there are still hard days, but now I call them full days, and I know exactly how to handle them.

And you can too.

I want to give you the tools to create routines that actually work for your family’s unique needs.

Basically… I want to make motherhood as peaceful and fulfilling as God intended for YOU, which is exactly what we do in Mary’s Heart, Martha’s Order. 

We’ll start by helping you identify the areas of your home and life that are causing the most stress.

Then I’ll guide you through creating simple, sustainable systems that bring order and peace to your days, with a faith-centered mindset that keeps you grounded and calm in your vocation.

Ultimately, I want you to know…

You could spend hundreds (or thousands) on Ikea closet systems, Marie Kondo every piece of underwear in your house, or dive into another productivity course. But if you don’t have systems that are tailored to your family’s rhythms and a mindset that supports your role as a mother? 

You’ll always feel you’re behind.

Having the right systems and an easy prayer routine is the investment that makes everything else pay off by (1) creating a home that runs smoothly and (2) allowing you to keep your peace no matter what comes your way. 

You can live like Mary, even in a Martha world.

THIS CHALLENGE IS FOR YOU IF:

  • You long to deepen your relationship with Christ
  • You feel guilty for neglecting prayer but don’t know how to change it
  • You still want to get the laundry done and dinner on the table
  • You want to finally believe that peace is possible in your vocation

You don’t need more time.
You just need 20 minutes a day—and a plan that works.

“I am loving my life more and more as I go through the program.”

As to your Qs

How much time will this take each week? (I’m already so strapped for time!)

I get it. My days are full, too. Each video is less than 20 minutes long (shorter than anything you could watch on Netflix), and the challenges are designed to fit in with what you’re already doing to clean and maintain your home. You already feed your kids and go grocery shopping. You already do laundry. What we’re doing in this challenge will naturally fit in with what you’re already doing.

Not a question, but I kinda feel like I should already have this figured out.

I hear you, and it’s a feeling many moms share. We think we should be able to manage home, family, and work without support or missing a beat. The truth is, motherhood is one of the most demanding and complex vocations there is, and there’s no one-size-fits-all manual for how to do it perfectly.

Mary’s Heart, Martha’s Order isn’t about pointing out what you should already know or do. It’s about giving you practical tools and a faith-centered mindset that make your life easier and more joyful. No one expects you to have it all figured out on your own—this program is here to support you in creating the peaceful, organized home you desire, without the guilt or self-judgment.

Mary and Martha had their moments of struggle, and they had Jesus right there with them. You deserve support too.

How long do I have access?

The content is yours to keep for as long as you’d like! If I update the course, you’ll receive access to the new content as well.

What if I’m already overwhelmed? Learning something new sounds daunting.

The reason you’re overwhelmed is that you haven’t found what works for your family, and you don’t have the mindset tools in place to support you. This challenge will change that. Everything I’ll teach you is designed specifically for busy moms with hectic lives to simplify and get more peace, not add something to your plate.

Will I really be able to keep this up long-term?

I get it—life can be unpredictable, and sticking to new routines can be challenging. But Mary’s Heart, Martha’s Order is designed for sustainability. The systems you’ll learn are flexible, simple, and tailored to your unique family dynamics, making them easy to maintain, even on the busiest days.

Rather than overwhelming you with rigid rules, we focus on building habits that naturally fit into your life. Plus, you’ll have ongoing access to the course materials and our supportive community whenever you need a refresher or encouragement.

You’re not just organizing your home—you’re creating lasting peace and joy that will stay with you long after the program ends.

I’ve tried other organizing programs before, and they didn’t stick. How is this different?

The difference with Mary’s Heart, Martha’s Order is that it’s not just about organizing your home—it’s about transforming your mindset as well. We focus on building sustainable habits that last, supported by a faith-centered mindset that helps you remain calm and at peace, no matter what is happening in your life. You’ll also have my team’s full support and a community of hundred of Catholic moms to keep you encouraged and on track.

Is this really risk free?

Yes! I want you to feel confident that Mary’s Heart, Martha’s Order is the right fit for you, which is why, if you enroll, complete the weekly challenges, and don’t see the value, we will gladly provide a 100% refund within 30 days of your purchase. Simply send me an email at [email protected].

…If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the daily demands of motherhood…

…If you’re struggling to find peace and order in your home…

…If you’re not sure how to balance your responsibilities with the joy and fulfillment you desire…

Then this program is for you!

Mary’s Heart, Martha’s Order is priced far below other courses organization and mindset courses on the market (and below the value it provides!).

If you’ve been searching for a way to bring more peace into your home, this is it. If you’ve been feeling like you’re constantly spinning your wheels, now’s the time to stop.

We can’t wait to welcome you into Mary’s Heart, Martha’s Order!
