****TOP 2.5% GLOBALLY-RANKED PODCAST**** Are you waking up exhausted and overwhelmed before the day even begins? Is your mind as disorganized as your house? Is the stress of the clutter, debt, and what to make for dinner…again, wreaking havoc on your health, parenting and marriage? Do you wish you had one authentic Catholic friend who understood your struggles? I am so excited you’re here! This podcast will teach you how to create a clutter-free, organized home that practically runs itself, with dinner on the table every night, enough money to stop living paycheck to paycheck and God at the center of it all! Hi, I’m Gina. A Catholic wife, mom and declutter coach. For twenty years, I made sure my home was organized and running efficiently; we ate healthy, homemade dinners, the laundry was done, and the bills were paid on time, yet, I still felt like something was missing. I thought if my home looked like it belonged in a magazine, my family dined on gourmet meals and I stayed out of debt, life would be peaceful and perfect. I finally realized that I was searching for fulfillment and validation from the outside world. Yes, I needed my home to run efficiently, but I felt a nagging in my heart that I was made for more. If I was going to have a full life with the peace that transcends human understanding, I needed to make God the center. I needed to put Him in charge instead of feeling like it was all up to me. I created a plan that fits ME. Simple routines to incorporate faith into my daily tasks. A lifestyle that’s allowing me to prosper into the woman God is calling me to be. And I’m ready to share it with you! If you are tired of waiting for motivation to strike and you are ready to do the work to declutter your home, plan meals your family will actually eat, break free from living paycheck to paycheck, learn to implement routines for a peaceful home that practically runs itself, AND make a new Catholic BFF who wants to share in your joys and struggles, - this podcast is for you! Grab your garden shears because you’re about to prune away the clutter of life so you can prosper into the woman God has called YOU to be!

174. 5 Minute Declutter With Me...2nd Bathroom Towels
Saturday Dec 16, 2023
Saturday Dec 16, 2023
Is the clutter in your home so overwhelming you don't know where to begin? Or you do begin and quickly make a bigger mess, get frustrated and give up? Are you waiting for motivation to strike and THEN you'll get it together?
Motivation is not going to strike, so STOP waiting for it! Just get started and guess, what? Momentum will kick in and help you finish the job. When we look at the big picture, it's easy to get overwhelmed and stay stuck. In these Saturday morning episodes, I lead you through one very small area of your home to declutter for just 5 minutes. You won't pull everything out and make a bigger mess, you'll just handle a very small section at a time. Week after week and little by little, your home will begin to feel lighter. You'll be able to freely open kitchen drawers and quickly find items. Cleaning will become easier too because you won't be cleaning before you can actually clean. 5 minutes will make a difference! Set your prayer intention to unite your work with Him, pop in this podcast, and set your reward. Let's get started
To work with me 1:1 or to schedule a 30 minute complimentary discovery call, please email me at: tightshipmama@gmail.com
***Let’s get 2024 off to a great start! I’m bringing back the program that sparked it all! Pruning To Prosper started as an idea to help women clear the stuff that is preventing them from being the woman God is calling them to be. Here are the details:
6 week journey of faith-based, inspired action to get your heart, home and wallet in line with God’s plan for you.
On Sundays from 7-9pm EST (beginning January 14th) there will be a weekly lesson, prayer, discussion and a chance for 1:1 coaching. Wednesday evenings from 8-9pm EST we will reserve for accountability, questions, motivation and more group coaching! Program concludes on Wednesday, February 21st.
Topics include: Who Are You Called To Be?, Decluttering, Grocery Budgeting, Meal Planning, Overwhelm/Routines and Finding Your Tribe.
Even better than the relevant topics will be the tribe of like-minded, Godly, women you will meet.

173. 5 Ways We Can Steward Our Possessions for God’s Greater Glory
Wednesday Dec 13, 2023
Wednesday Dec 13, 2023
Opening Bible verse: Matthew 6:19-21
As a declutter coach, I have seen this time and time again. Homeowners saving things with good intentions. They save baby clothes they hope their grandchildren will wear. They save the good china because it's too precious to use. They hang onto all sorts of items in their homes just in case or because they spent money on it or because it was a gift. God wants to bless us with all of these things but He doesn't want us to let them rot or decay. In today's podcast episode, I talk about how we can use our possessions for His greater glory. Get out the good china and pour yourself a cup of tea, let's go!

171. Are You Stewarding God’s Money for a Life of Abundance or a Life of Debt?
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Opening Bible verse: Matthew 25:14-15
for the full parable read: Matthew 25:14-30
We are on a journey, this journey called life. Our master has given us gifts according to our abilities and those gifts are ours to manage. At the end of our journey, we will be judged. How did we use our gifts? Did we multiple them? Did we hide our gifts and never share them with others? In today's episode, I talk about money as this gift although you can substitute money for any gift God has given you whether it is a great singing voice or artistic talent.
As December begins and 2023 comes to an end, I want to talk about stewardship. In this first episode of this series, I talk about how are we stewarding the money God has gifted us? Do we spend it wisely? Are we stingy with it? Do we enjoy it? Do we use it for God's greater glory? Are we investing it for our retirement or are we burying our heads in the sand?
At the end of our journey, we hope to hear the same words from Matthew, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

169. If You Have Worry or Stress, You Need To Hear This
Wednesday Nov 29, 2023
Wednesday Nov 29, 2023
Opening Bible verse: Matthew 17:1-4
Satan is a one trick pony. He promises us things of this world. In episode 167 we talked about Satan tempting Jesus in the wilderness while He was trying to pray for 40 days. He tempted him with worldly things. In Matthew 16:21-23 Jesus tells Peter to, "Get behind me, Satan...." At the top of the mountain during the Transfiguration, Peter declares that, "it is well that we are here...." Peter is stalling. He wants to prevent his friend, Jesus, from the pain and suffering He will endure on Calvery. Jesus tells us that these worries are of this world. God has such a bigger, a more beautiful plan, if we only could see the big picture.
While staying in the glow of Jesus' relvealed glory is tempting, Jesus tells his disciples that they must go back down the mountain.
There is work to be done down here. On earth. Jesus has sent us the Holy Spirit as a helper but we've got to do the work we are called to do. Jesus' final words in the Transfiguration are, "Rise, and have no fear."
As we conclude this month of remembering our deaths, we must keep our eye on the prize, the bigger picture, the things not of this world but, of the next.
As we move into December, I'm going to be focusing on stewardship. For none of this is ours. So let's manage it to the best of our abilities.
If you enjoy hearing the Word of God and making it relevant in your daily life and the gifts you have been entrusted with, please prayerfully consider joining the next round of my 6 week coaching course.

Opening Bible Verse: Psalm 145:4
None of us is getting out of here alive so let's make it as easy as possible for our loved ones after we are gone. You can do this so easily by creating a legacy box. What is a legacy box? Simply a box that contains everything your loved ones would need in the event of your death. Including but not limited to a Will/Trust, Passwords, Banking Information, Deed to a Cemetery Plot, Funeral Plans and burial wishes. Live and prepare so that generations will sing your praises after you are gone. XOXO,
