Why You’re Worrying About Things God Never Gave You

Are you constantly worried — even about things you can’t actually control? I share a simple but powerful analogy I gave a client that completely changed how she thought about stress, responsibility, and interior peace. As Catholic moms, we often carry weight that God never asked us to carry. We worry about outcomes. We worry about the future. We worry about things that are not actually in our domain. And all of that worry quietly steals our peace. In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why worrying about the “mortgage” (literal or metaphorical) is draining you - How to tell the difference between what’s yours to carry and what belongs to God - Why God gives grace for real problems — but not imaginary ones - How to let go of the background worry that never seems to turn off If you’re a Catholic mom who feels like she’s always holding something heavy in the back of her mind, this video is for you. I'm praying for you. Please pray for me. 💜 Sterling

Are you constantly worried — even about things you can’t actually control?

I share a simple but powerful analogy I gave a client that completely changed how she thought about stress, responsibility, and interior peace.

As Catholic moms, we often carry weight that God never asked us to carry.

We worry about outcomes.
We worry about the future.
We worry about things that are not actually in our domain.

And all of that worry quietly steals our peace.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
– Why worrying about the “mortgage” (literal or metaphorical) is draining you – How to tell the difference between what’s yours to carry and what belongs to God
– Why God gives grace for real problems — but not imaginary ones
– How to let go of the background worry that never seems to turn off If you’re a Catholic mom who feels like she’s always holding something heavy in the back of her mind, this video is for you.

I’m praying for you.

2 Keys to Interior Peace Every Catholic Mom Needs

In today’s episode, I share what I believe are two of the biggest keys to interior peace—especially for moms who feel tired, overwhelmed, or stuck in resistance to their daily lives. First, I talk about how to have a bad day well: how to recognize what’s happening in your body, care for yourself with compassion, and decide what kind of day you actually need. Then I share the second key—learning to see the work and responsibilities of your life as missions given to you by the Lord, which changes everything about how they feel. In this episode, we talk about: What to do when you wake up already having a bad day “Bunny slippers days” vs. days where you still have to show up How biology, thoughts, and emotions work together Why willingness is often closer to peace than happiness How clarity about what God is asking you to do creates calm and purpose At the end of the episode, I also share an important announcement about the future of the podcast and Catholic Mom Calm, including what’s coming next and how you can help me reach more moms. If you want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more aligned with what God is asking of you—this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I talk about what it really means to feel well taken care of — and why that feeling isn’t created by our circumstances, but by our thoughts.

I share the powerful story of Corrie ten Boom and the fleas, along with real examples from my own marriage, motherhood, and Christmas experiences, to show how the story we tell ourselves shapes how we experience our lives.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why feeling well taken care of is a state of mind, not a fact

How the “I’m not well taken care of” story creates resentment and loneliness

Why complaining can feel like connection (and how it often backfires)

What changes when you choose to believe, “I am so well taken care of”

How this mindset helps you care for yourself, your kids, and your marriage with more peace

I also share an invitation to join Mary’s Heart, Martha’s Order, a six-week challenge starting in January to help you build real interior peace — no matter what’s happening around you.
