****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!

112. Does Clutter Stop You From Having Friends Over?
Wednesday Apr 19, 2023
Wednesday Apr 19, 2023
Opening Bible verse: Luke 1:39-45
Inspired by the Lenten Rosary Group and of course...The Visitation. What is your first thought when the doorbell rings? Do you hide? Do you quiet the children and pretend you're not home? Does your clutter make you feel less than, embarrassed, ashamed and isolated? The happiest people on earth are those that have strong relationships in their lives. Is clutter preventing you from having those deep friendships?
In today's episode I introduce my next live via zoom program. It will be a 2 hour retreat I'm calling, The Visitation Declutter Retreat. We will gather together on May 14th from 7-9pm EST for faith, fellowship and decluttering. We will focus on the entrance to your home. The area people see when you swing open the front door. You'll feel supported, prayed for and encouraged to get some decluttering done in this area. I'll be there to guide you and answer any questions you may have in the process. You'll leave with a new appreciation of The Visitation along with the practical tools you can use to declutter all the areas of your home. The cost is $40. Click here to sign up:

Saturday Apr 15, 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

110. Ladies of the Lenten Accountability Group Share Their Thoughts on the Past 40 Days
Wednesday Apr 12, 2023
Wednesday Apr 12, 2023
Opening Bible Verse: Matthew 18:20
Lent is meant to be a time of sacrifice and growth in our faith. Similar to January 1st, we begin with high hopes and good intentions but often fall short of our goals. However, when we gather together with like-minded women, join forces with God, the fruits of our efforts are beyond our expectations.
In today's episode you'll hear from 6 of the women who signed up for the Lenten Accountability Group. We met each weekday at 5am EST during the 40 days of Lent. We tracked our spending, decluttered, sacrificed something we love and added in fun, fitness or friendship. However, what you'll hear over and over again from these women is that we all found community. God brings a group together and I couldn't be more thrilled with the gift of these women. Enjoy! XOXO, Gina

Opening Bible verse: Matthew 26: 40-41
So much goodness in this passage! You could read this everyday and gain new perspective.
As Palm Sunday approaches, we will hear the longest Gospel reading of the year. You've probably heard it every year of your life. But have you ever really heard it? We all have a bit of Peter in us. Peter, James and John famously fall asleep after Jesus asked them to keep watch with him for one hour. Yikes!
In today's episode, I ask you to ponder, where are you falling asleep? If you gave this area of your life just one hour per week, where would you be a year from now?

Opening Bible verse: James 1:22-25
Are you a hearer or a doer? Do you take in all the information? Buy all the personal finance books, listen to all the podcasts and talking heads, yet haven't started doing anything with your money? In today's episode, I challenge you to move from being a hearer to a doer. Retiring with dignity and living a life of financial freedom is in your control. May today mark the day that you start living a life of abundance, the life God has designed for you. He doesn't want you to struggle month to month, He loves you. But you've got to do your part too.
Today's episode is the second part of episode 101. Your fixed costs should be no higher than 60% of your monthly take home pay. If your fixed costs are at 60% or lower...great! You are well on your way to a life of financial freedom. Except, you don't feel like you're on your way. You still have to pull out the credit card to cover any financial surprises. A few hundred dollars a month, would really help. Let's see how we can find those extra hundred dollars each month so you can breathe easier and ultimately, pay off debt, build savings, and retire with dignity
The budgeting app mentioned in this episode is the Everydollar App
Paying off debt is you living in the past. Saving is you living for the future. Let's change the course. Email me if you would like 1:1 money coaching. tightshipmama@gmail.com
