****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 4:1-11
We've entered into a Holy Season and boy does the Evil One ramp up his game? He knows exactly where and how to hit us the hardest. He even tempted Jesus by planting that seed of doubt. "If you are the Son of God...." But take comfort, use this opening Bible passage as a guide. Just do what Jesus did to fight back. Know your scripture, pray, attend Mass, receive Eucharist, go to confession and put on your daily armor. When you are on the brink of greatness, The Evil one will do everything in his power to stop you. That's how you know, you're on to something good. Push through, pray and know that in the end, the angels will minister to you too. You've got this! XOXO, Gina

Opening Bible verse: Matthew 24: 37-44
Does Christmas stress you out? It stresses me out! I'm not good at choosing gifts for people that I'm confident they will like. I stress about all the money involved, the mess, the extra annoying traditions like elves that need moving and on and on. This Sunday, November 27th, marks the first Sunday in Advent and in today's episode, I invite you into one of our family traditions that keeps me grounded in the reason for the season.
This is not meant to be yet another thing added to your To Do List. Please do not even look at Pinterest for any ideas, keep it simple and stress free!
Begin with asking your kids how they can use their time, talent, and treasure to bring Christ into the season. Our kids are so creative and once the ideas start to flow...there's no stopping them. I pray this tradition is one you and your family will embrace and look forward to year after year.

Opening Bible passage: Philippians 4:19

It will never be perfect, but it will get easier. God is calling you to a life of abundance, trust that he will provide for all of your needs.

Is the clutter in your home so overwhelming you don't know where to begin? Begin here, with 5 minutes at a time. You'll be amazed at how quickly your home will start to feel lighter, you'll find things easier, you'll save money by not repurchasing items you already own but can't find. You'll save even more money when you decide the peace that comes from a clutter-free home is better than anymore items entering your home. You'll save a ton of money when your bills are organized and dealt with in a timely manner. Your home will develop an easy flow of items coming in and items going out. Eventually, it will practically run itself. What would you do with a free day or a free weekend? It starts here. Welcome to Pruning To Prosper, the podcast where we clear the stuff (clutter, debt, mindset) to better hear who God is calling us to be.
Have a great weekend,
Gina

Opening Bible passage: Matthew 6:11
"Most men live lives of quiet desperation." - Henry David Thoreau
When you decide that you are ready to start living a life that brings you joy, abundance, challenges and excitement, people will start to notice. When people start to notice, they may not be cheering for you.
In today's episode, I talk about the prayer I pray for my children each morning. I pray, "Heavenly Father, protect their eyes, protect their ears and protect the words that come out of their mouths."
When you are on a growth mindset journey, you need to wake up each day and protect these things too. You'll need nourishment on your journey. What words are you allowing to build you up or bring you down? What images do you allow your eyes to see? And what words are you saying to yourself? I'll give you some ideas of what can bring you nourishment while you walk the path to becoming the woman God has called you to be. You're going to need it!
Happy Trails,
Gina

Is the clutter taking over your house or worse...your life? Do you feel so overwhelmed you don't know where to begin? I'm so glad you found this podcast. Each Saturday, I lead you through one very small area in your home in which to declutter. In today's episode, we are tackling kitchen gadgets. Kitchen real estate is valuable real estate so every inch of our kitchens need to be working for us. It's a lot easier to get a healthy, fast dinner on the table when our kitchens are clean and organized. Open your drawers and see what gadgets you love and use at least once per week. If you aren't using them at least once per week, do you need to keep them at all? Does another gadget perform the same task and you can donate one? If you only use a gadget for one specific holiday meal, can it live with seasonal decor? Do you have a place somewhere else in your home for items you still want to keep but don't use once per week?

Opening Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
If you were married in a Catholic mass, there is a really good chance you chose this reading as your second reading. Yet, how many of us really hear the words of St. Paul from the viewpoint of our money talks (or quarrels). When you sit with your spouse to discuss finances, are you patient, are you kind or are you quick-tempered or brood over a past injury?
In today's episode, I give you tips and tricks to putting God at the center of both your marriage and your finances. Your marriage is a living breathing sacrament unique to no others. You and your spouse are here on a mission from God. When you unite in your goals with God's plan for you both, your path will become clear, your money will grow and the true intimacy you will find with your spouse will be worth all the effort!
I speak about a video from Dave Ramsey where a couple does their debt free scream on his radio show. Use it as an inspiration to get the conversation started but mostly, use the reading from St. Paul to keep you focused. Here is the video:
