Dating can feel intense—especially when strong personalities, clear goals, and big expectations enter the picture.

In this episode of the Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt and Erin kick off a new Temperaments & Dating series by focusing on the Choleric temperament and what Catholic singles need to know when dating one (or discovering they are one).

You’ll learn:
•How Cholerics approach dating, goals, and commitment
•The biggest do’s and don’ts that either build connection or create
tension
•Why directness, ambition, and intensity can be gifts—or triggers
•How to communicate clearly without overthinking or people-
pleasing
•How to discern a relationship without rushing or forcing outcomes

This episode is designed to help Catholic singles:
•Understand what’s happening under the hood
•Stop taking things personally that aren’t personal
•Date with curiosity, confidence, and virtue

In this episode of the Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt sits down with Catholic therapist Dr. Gerry Crete to talk about a growing challenge in today’s mental health conversations: the overuse and misunderstanding of psychological language.

Words like trauma, narcissism, abuse, and mental health are being used more than ever—but are we always using them correctly?

Together, they explore:
• When therapy language helps—and when it harms
• The difference between real trauma and ordinary human struggle
• Why labeling too quickly can actually block healing
• How to recognize when someone truly needs professional support
• The difference between coaching, therapy, and spiritual direction
• How compassion, discernment, and humility restore clarity

Dr. Crete also shares insights from his work as a therapist, author of Litanies of the Heart, and founder of Souls & Hearts, helping listeners understand how healing, faith, and psychology work together—not against each other.

If you’ve ever wondered whether something is “trauma,” struggled with self-diagnosis, or felt confused about where coaching ends and therapy begins, this episode will bring clarity and peace.

🎧 Listen in and learn how to approach healing with wisdom, humility, and hope.

In this Christmas episode of the Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt and Erin unpack the hidden Christian message woven into these beloved classics. Through a mindset-coaching lens, they explore how these stories reveal conversion, repentance, gratitude, and redemption—even though they’re not explicitly religious films.

Using the idea of metanoia (a deep interior shift of heart and mind), they break down:
• George Bailey’s journey from bitterness and sacrifice to gratitude
and joy
• Ebenezer Scrooge’s conversion through memory, compassion, and
foresight
• How entitlement, resentment, and scarcity blind us to what’s
already good
• Why gratitude is the gateway to freedom and renewal
• How these stories model Ignatian reflection and discernment

Matt and Erin also show how every great story echoes the Greatest Story Ever Told—the story of redemption written on every human heart.

This episode will help you:
• Understand why these movies resonate so deeply
• Learn how to “watch with spiritual eyes”
• Apply the same reflective tools to your own life through journaling
and prayer

Whether you’re watching on Christmas Eve, during the Octave of Christmas, or any time of year, this conversation invites you to rediscover the hope, joy, and conversion that Christmas offers—right now.

🎄 Merry Christmas from the Catholic Coaching Podcast.
