  • Transitioning from Summer to Fall

    Transitioning from Summer to Fall
    2026/08/19

    "People love change. They just hate transition." I heard Matthew Kelly teach that years ago and I think about it every single August. Because right now I'm getting a hundred emails from the school, two of my boys walked out today in socks with giant holes in the heels, and there's a lunchbox in this house that will not zip.

    If your body is fritzing out over start dates and supply lists and shoe sizes, nothing has gone wrong. You're not in the change yet. You're in the transition, and I want to give you the exact words to say to your own brain while you're standing in the middle of it. Plus a summer update: our little red golden retriever, the sickness that took my husband down, walking in 87 degrees on purpose, 200 Fulton Sheen rosaries, and the press-on nails I just ordered off an internet ad.

    WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:

    • Why change and transition are two different things, and why the yucky feeling belongs to the transition and not to your decision
    • What to tell your brain when it starts second-guessing (the feeling is bad, so the choice must be wrong) and why that's backwards
    • Who you are in a transition is not who you're going to be, whether that's back-to-school or pregnancy or a move you didn't choose
    • The two weeks plus two weeks rhythm I use: get ready, live it, evaluate at the end of the day, tweak, then settle into the change
    • Giving equal air time, because your brain will spend all day on what could go wrong and about nine seconds on what you're excited about
    • The folder-and-calendar hack that keeps the school email avalanche from hanging over you every hour of the day
    • Looking for what was good in a hard season, even when the good thing is just the timing of it

    EPISODE TIMELINE:

    • [00:00] – Mid-August, the nesting itch, and going from wild open summer to ordered fall
    • [05:00] – Annie Avonlea, a sickness that hit everyone one at a time, and what was actually good about it
    • [10:00] – Walking in the heat on purpose, France prep, and giving equal air time to the excitement
    • [15:00] – Making Fulton Sheen rosaries, why moms need work that gets finished, and yes, the press-on nails
    • [20:00] – "People love change. They just hate transition." The emails, the socks, the lunchbox that won't zip
    • [25:00] – Talking to your brain in the transition, and the four weeks it actually takes to settle
    • [30:00] – The email folder hack, and having peace today in the middle of all of it

  • Managing Your Thoughts About School So You Don't Lose Your Mind

    Managing Your Thoughts About School So You Don't Lose Your Mind
    2026/08/06

    Almost everything you believe about your kids' schooling is an opinion, not a fact — and most of those opinions are quietly manufacturing stress in your body. In this episode, I walk you through why your feelings about school come from your thinking, how I choose school for my six kids with detachment (we're doing three different things this year), and the one trick I use to stop emotionally processing problems that haven't happened yet.

    Whether you've got toddlers, a struggling nine-year-old, or a high schooler who bit off more than she can chew, I want you to notice how you're showing up — because the more stressed you are about their education, the worse you show up for them. I'll show you how to trade the tightness for problem-solving energy, hope, and peace. Sterling Jaquith.

    WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:

    • Why "well-educated" is impossible to define — and how AI is about to make general knowledge plus the ability to ask good questions matter more than the drills we stress over
    • The difference between thoughts that just feel good ("my kid speaks Spanish!") and thoughts that are actually true
    • How to sit in the discomfort of watching your child struggle without deciding something has gone wrong
    • My favorite trick: refusing to emotionally process a made-up future problem (yes, even the diocese one)
    • How to tell yourself the best possible story about whatever schooling you've chosen — including reframing public school as mission territory

  • How I Use AI (And How My Company Does)

    How I Use AI (And How My Company Does)
    2026/07/15
    The internet is very loud about AI right now, so I want to tell you exactly where I stand in July of 2026, both personally and as a company, so you can start forming your own opinion. For the most part I'm team AI. I also think it's going to create some genuinely scary things in our society, the same way the internet and smartphones did. Both can be true. My favorite thing about it? It cuts through the noise. Instead of clicking through twenty websites full of pop-ups and people trying to sell me something, I can ask a question and get a clear answer, then ask for the counterarguments too. In this episode I walk through how I use it in real life (skincare, salad dressings, puppy training, fact-checking those sensational ads), the private questions you'd never Google, and exactly where I draw my hard lines. I also pull back the curtain on how Catholic Mom Calm uses AI and where we absolutely don't, so you know what's touched by it and what isn't. WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE: Where I land on AI in July 2026: mostly team AI, and clear-eyed about the harm tooMy favorite thing about it, cutting through the internet's noise (Google's AI Mode, and always asking "what's the counterargument, and who's making it?")The intimacy-call tip: asking private questions you'd never Google, telling it you're Catholic first, and deleting the threadHow I use it at home: skincare picks, homemade salad dressing, a week-by-week puppy plan, and fact-checking those sensational ads Where I draw hard lines: not for prayer, not for religious art, and why real artists and musicians still make our workHow Catholic Mom Calm actually uses it (story research, email arcs, financials, coding the app) and where we still won't (design)The Calm Catholic Kids app is out, why I made it "the most boring app ever," and a word on kids, AI, and Pope Leo's letter EPISODE TIMELINE: [00:00] – Where I stand on AI in July 2026 [05:00] – Cutting through the noise: Google's AI Mode and asking for both sides [10:00] – The intimacy-call tip, and telling it you're Catholic [15:00] – Skincare, salad dressings, puppy plans, and fact-checking sensational ads [20:00] – Where I draw the line: prayer, religious art, and real artists [25:00] – How Catholic Mom Calm uses AI (and how it doesn't) [30:00] – The app is out, kids and AI, and Pope Leo's letter LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Calm Catholic Kids app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/calm-catholic-kids/id6768798893Calm Catholic Kids (buy the collections here, not through the app, so you skip Apple's 30%): https://calmcatholickids.com Xavier Co-op (my new two-and-a-half-day hybrid school launching this fall): https://xaviercoop.comCome to France with me this fall: https://catholicmomcalm.com/france/My skincare routine: Cetaphil cream (I get this at costco) Blue Lizard sunscreen TruSkin Face SerumPope Leo's letter on AI: https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/encyclicals/documents/20260515-magnifica-humanitas.htmlThe AI tools I mentioned: ChatGPT, Claude, Google's Gemini (AI Mode), and Grok CHECK OUT MY WORK: Website: https://catholicmomcalm.com Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catholicmomcalm Mary's Heart, Martha's Order Planner: https://catholicmomcalm.com/planner
