****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

Opening Bible verse: Matthew 14:24-33
Some months you're okay. All the bills are paid and you can exhale. You are walking on water. The next, you're not okay. You feel overwhelmed and as if you are drowning financially. Are you tired of not feeling safe financially? Do you feel like one storm will do you in with your money? Take a look at this one number to see if this could be the problem.
Your monthly fixed costs. What? These are the costs that don't fluctuate too much. Your mortgage or rent, car payments, tuition, elite sports fees, utilities, student loans, credit card debt and on and on.
Add up all of your fixed monthly costs. What percentage of your monthly take home pay is this number? If it's higher than 60%, this episode is for you. Focus on your top 3 culprits (your big wins) in this category. Is it your house? Your car? Your kids' school? Debt? Now you know where to focus to cut costs. You can skip coffee all month long but it won't move the needle as much as addressing the big 3.
% of monthly take home pay for fixed costs= $total fixed costs/$total monthly take home pay X 100
If you are struggling with managing money, please don't hesitate to reach out. The best day to start winning with money is today. Email me today to schedule your 30 minute complementary discovery zoom. This is Christian based money coaching following the Baby Steps created by Dave Ramsey.

Opening Bible Verses: Genesis 3:6, 3:11-13
Adam and Eve do two things in this first book of the Bible that we can say people are still doing today that is keeping them broke, drowning in debt, overweight and miserable.
There is a different way. The way of the wealthy. In today's episode, I share what not to do like Adam and Eve and what you can start doing today to go from a poor person mindset to a wealthy person mindset.
I mention two books in this episode and I recommend you check them out at the library. If you want to own them, you can purchase them here:

Opening Bible verse: Luke 9:18-20
Less than 10% of all Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. Part of the final step is to complete a project for your community. While every Eagle Scout project is a major accomplishment, the story I share with you today is clearly not your average Eagle Scout project.
We are all being called. We have all been designed to do something here on earth for God's greater glory. Yet, how many of us listen to who the crowds say we are instead of who God says we are?
Today's episode tells the story of a young man who is earning the rank of Eagle Scout. Years ago, a seed was planted in his heart to do something big. To have his project leave a legacy. We are all called to have the faith of a child, but how many of us have the courage of a child? How many of us really believe who God says we are?
If you are inspired by this Scout's story and would like to help him achieve his goal in phase 2 of raising $3,000 for office and medical supplies to be purchased in Africa, you can click on this link below to help. https://villagesinpartnership.org/?form=MedSupport&fundraiser=NBRMDZQJ&member=SGVCMFKG

Opening Bible verse: Genesis 3:19
I'm still vacuuming up pine needles from the Christmas tree and now it's almost Lent! Yikes!
Ok, ladies, let's not let Lent get away from us. Let's go into this most Hole Season with some intention. In today's episode, I'll talk about why we receive ashes and why Lent is 40 days. Most importantly, I'll give you some easy tips and tricks to get the most out of Lent this year. I'm also offering a group accountability prayer program that will allow us to journey through Lent together and emerge renewed in faith and strength and ready to do whatever God is calling us to do.
Here are the details of the Lent 2023 Accountability Group:
$20 (hopefully this is just enough to get you out of bed!)
5am EST daily rosary, live each weekday of Lent
Daily accountability for your Lenten promises to include:
Declutter 1 item per day
Track daily spending
Give up one thing that tempts you
Add one daily action item in fitness, fun, or friendship
I'll try to keep each morning to 30 minutes.
***Don't worry if you don't know how to pray the rosary, an instruction sheet will be emailed to you along with a daily tracker sheet.
If this sounds like something you could commit to, join here
