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!
