****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!

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

There isn't a right or wrong answer. If you are ready to get serious about tackling your debt, just pick a method and go for it!

Opening Bible verse: Luke 6:12-13
There are passages in the Bible meant to simply give us instructions on how to live and there are passages in the Bible meant to be an example to us on how to live.
This opening Bible verse is an example Jesus gave us on taking a break. To go be alone to pray.
When the noise of life is drowning out the voice of God, you've gone too long without connecting with Him.
In today's episode I talk about working with a client (a 4th grader) and her mom to declutter her bedroom and create a calm corner.
For those times when you or your child needs a break to regulate emotions, here are some ideas for creating a calm corner for your own child and ideas for yourself.
1. Find a quiet place in your home
2. Get a comfy chair or cushion for the floor
3. Incorporate the senses. Artwork that is calming like religious or nature. Soft blankets, pillows or squash mallows! Good scents like fresh or dried lavender or a scented candle or diffuser. Noise cancelling headphones or headphones to listen to music. Perhaps a fountain or CD of nature sounds.
4. Fidgets for young and old. Playdough, slime, a hair brush, poppers, google and you will find a ton!
5. Coloring book.
6. Rosary beads and devotional books/journals
7. Fresh flowers or some other reminder to breathe.
Lastly, outside your home...walk barefoot in the grass, over rocks or take a swing on the swing set.

Proverbs 9: 13-18
Stupid people discuss other people.
Average people discuss things.
Intelligent people discuss ideas.
Is stupidity calling you in?
When I fall prey to gossip, I leave the conversation feeling physically sick. Probably my guilty conscience. When I leave a conversation after discussing things like the weather, the schedule, or general pleasantries, I feel fine. Meh. But when I leave a conversation after discussing ideas, I feel alive! I feel like I am walking taller, that the other woman or group of women is walking taller. I feel like I have been lifted up and I have lifted others up.
When stupidity invites us in and we accept, we go to die. Gossip can kill us inside and it can ruin another person's life as well. Yet, it's so easy to participate in gossip.
How can we turn a conversation around that has turned towards gossip? What can we do to start changing our own mindset around gossip. How can we break this habit? How can we live everyday at our highest, most abundant level? Tune into today's episode to find out!
XOXO,
Gina

Opening Bible Verse: Jeremiah 20:7-9
Jeremiah was given the gift of prophecy. Clearly, it was God's will for him to use it. However, Jeremiah was sick and tired of having to be the bearer of bad news. To always deliver messages of doom and gloom. He vows to stop speaking these messages from God. It doesn't last. When our mission from God is so clear, it's impossible to keep it inside.
Following God's will takes risk and oftentimes followers suffer socially for it or even physically for it.
In today's episode, I talk about how following the will of God or anyone else who has our best interest at heart is risky. When we fully trust God's will, it will be scary and we oftentimes may feel ill-equipped for the mission. Just remember that if God has called you to it, He will give you the strength and resources to get you through it. The best life is just on the other side. Take the risk!

Opening Bible Verse: Numbers 18:12-13
As long as I have these 6 ingredients in my house, I feel like dinner will happen! Our family spent 4 weeks traveling through Europe this summer and I always had these 6 items in my bag from house to house. I knew just adding the main protein or pasta would ensure dinner would be homemade, delicious, healthy and fast!
Here are the recipes I reference in this episode.
Simple Salad Dressing:
Homemade Butter:
Lemon Butter Sauce for chicken or fish:
Homemade Limoncello:
Garlic Knots:
The Veggie Puree Soup that made me an immersion blender convert! Not exactly what I ate in Rome but pretty close! Enjoy!
