****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!

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!

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

Opening Bible verse: Matthew 2:14-15
When the Holy Family had to flee in the night into Egypt, I'm guessing the Blessed Mother didn't have the time or the ability to pack everything she wanted to bring. Ultimately, they heard what God wanted them to do and they did it. They did their part and trusted that He would provide for all the rest.
When I packed for our month long vacation in Europe, I was not so trusting. I way overpacked. As the month wore on, I began to feel just how heavy my backpack had become and how I fell into the trap I hear from so many of my declutter clients.
1. I love it!
2. I might need it!
3. I have the room, what's one more tiny thing?
These small concessions add up. Our stuff weighs us down physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially.
This September I am hosting a weekday 7 Sorrows Rosary Group for women. Join me at 5am EST to pray the 7 Sorrows Rosary.
It's not your typical rosary so here is an example of what you'll need:

Opening Bible verse: Luke 2:46-52
You never step into the same river twice. Well, you never recite the same rosary twice either. Perhaps you've skimmed past the Finding of Jesus in the Temple for years but today it hits you hard. You've dropped your child off at college and drove home in a quiet car. Our Blessed Mother feels your sorrow. She too was separated from her child for the first time. She knows the panic, the worry, the uncertainty you are feeling.
September is the month we devote to Our Lady of Sorrows. I'll be hosting a daily 7 Sorrows Rosary Group. Join me each weekday at 5am EST to recite the rosary. When we learn to connect our daily sorrows with those of Our Blessed Mother and the life of Jesus, the flame of the Holy Spirit ignites!
You'll need a journal or notebook to jot down insights from the Holy Spirit as well as a 7 Sorrows Rosary. You can purchase one on Amazon or Etsy. Here is a link to one

Opening Bible Verse: John 2:11
We are back. Our family recently took a five week sabbatical with four of those weeks traveling through Europe. We visited Germany, Slovenia and Italy where we hiked, ate great food, drank even better wine, and logged many hours in prayer.
In today's episode I talk about the day in Rome we renewed our marriage vows and how my view of motherhood was forever changed by one sentence uttered by a young priest.
Enjoy!

I have a very special guest joining me today...my husband! Dennis Morton was a history major turned Patriot Missile officer turned owner of a very successful wealth management firm.
He joins us today in this final episode of the college series to share his experience with ROTC or Reserve Officer Training Corp as a way to help fund college and set him up for a lifetime of success.
What started as a way to help ease the financial burden of college turned into so much more. If your high schooler hasn't considered this option yet, please give it a listen.
If you would like to work with me 1:1 in the Lehigh Valley, PA with in-person decluttering, please email me at: tightshipmama@gmail.com
I also help women virtually with decluttering, meal planning, budgeting and life coaching with a Catholic viewpoint.
