A Free Class From Sterling

Why You Lose Your Peace
(and how to get it back)


The single most powerful thing I teach.
And today, it's my gift to you.

Some days the noise and the mess and the worry just climb... and climb... until you snap at the kids, and then feel terrible about it. I know that thermometer feeling so well.

For years, I thought the problem was my circumstances... my kids, my husband, my endless to-do list...

It wasn't. And it wasn't me either.

The problem was that I believed everything I thought. Nobody had ever told me I didn't have to.

This class is where I show you how. It's only 20 minutes long. Pour a cup of coffee, and let us begin. 💛

Press Play

This is the whole game.

A little of what you'll learn

You are not your thoughts. You're the watcher of them.

Thousands fly through your mind every day like a ticker tape, and you do not have to believe a single one. "Take every thought captive to obey Christ." (2 Cor 10:5)

Nothing means anything until you think about it.

The rain. The unloaded dishwasher. The D in math. They just sit there, completely neutral, until a thought decides what they get to mean.

Your thoughts create your results.

One thought leads to a feeling. That feeling leads to what you do, or don't do. And that becomes your life. This tool is called the Model. It comes from cognitive behavioral therapy, and a coach named Brooke Castillo built on it. I trained with her, and honestly, learning this changed my whole life.

"Why" is the devil's question. "How" is Mary's.

Instead of "Why is this happening to me?" we learn to ask, "Lord, how do you want me to show up?" It changes everything.

Talk to yourself like you'd talk to your own scared child.

Hand on your chest. "This is a lot right now. And you're okay. I'm with you." You cannot do this work from a stressed-out place. So we calm the body first. Always.

You can have peace in the chaos over everyday motherhood.

If this class stirred something in you... it's just the beginning of what we do together inside Catholic Mom Calm.

Here's what's coming up:

  • September Catholic Mom Reset
  • October The Model-a-Day Challenge, our community's very favorite
  • November Less Stress for the Holidays, maybe my favorite thing I've ever made

Stay close. I'll share how to join right in your inbox.

I'm praying for you. 💛
