****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!

Set your intention, who do you want to offer up this task of decluttering your wardrobe for today? When we offer up these tasks that we don't really feel like doing, our chores become a prayer.
Set your carrot. When you save something you love to listen to or experience while you do a task you don't love, it turns a task you dread into a task you look forward to accomplishing.
Set your reward. What will you enjoy when you are done decluttering for five minutes? Coffee? Screen time? It's totally up to you! Enjoy!

Opening Bible Passage: Psalm 30:12
I have been a huge fan of Cathy Heller's for YEARS! From the moment I first heard her as a guest on a podcast, I was hooked. I never miss an episode of her podcast and I've done all the free challenges and groups she has offered. When she announced her latest program, Abundant Ever After, I knew it was time for me to invest in myself.
I know all the things Cathy says to her listeners. I've been saying the same thing to my friends and clients for years but guess what? I needed to hear them. I needed to hear her say them to me. It was time to enroll in a course.
Each week Cathy Heller goes live with her students and she leaves the last half hour or more for us to ask questions. She calls this portion of her live zoom the "hot seat". With so many students enrolled in her course, the odds of getting a coveted hot seat are pretty slim, but my day had arrived!
In this episode of Pruning To Prosper, I share the two things she told me I had to do everyday to live my most abundant life.
They are easy and fun and for your best! Try them and let me know how your life has been transformed!

Opening Bible Verse: Mark 6:35-38
Going back 2000 years, the disciples were asking Jesus what's for dinner? Feeding 5,000 would cost 200 days' wages!
Do you ever feel this way? Do you get that 4pm pit in your stomach wondering what you'll make for dinner? Does drive-thru sound easy but wreaks havoc on your budget?
In today's episode we'll look at the miracle of the fish and loaves and use it as a guide to your introduction to meal planning. Jesus knew all the worries that would plague us as moms and he already had an answer for us!
I hope you find this episode educational while getting a chuckle out of Jesus making dinner to feed over 5,000!

Motivation is not going to strike so let's just get started and momentum will kick in!
You will be amazed at just how much you can declutter in 5 minutes! If you've already decluttered this area of your home, just use this time to get yourself started on another task.
We begin each Saturday episode the same way.
1. Set your intention. Who or what is weighing on your mind today? Offer it up in prayer. When you have a task you don't really feel like doing but you offer it up, you are turning your work into prayer.
2. Set your carrot. Whenever I have a task to complete that I don't feel like doing, I pair it with something I enjoy. That might be a good podcast, an audible book, favorite music, you get the idea.
3. Finally, set your reward. What are you going to give yourself when you are done. I hate cleaning my house but when I do it, I buy myself fresh flowers to display. It's my little treat for getting the job done.
Today we are still working in your wardrobe and we are decluttering jeans and pants. Ready, set, go!

Opening Bible verse: Proverbs 21:5
God wants to shower us with abundance but how are we managing what He's already given us? Are we just swinging our purses around like my eight year old daughter all willy nilly?
If you feel you are being called to more, you need to be ready for more. A budget is the first place to begin managing your money.
A zero based budget is you in control of your money. It's you telling your money where to go each month instead of wondering where it went.
Here is a YouTube video I filmed a few years ago detailing a zero based budget:
There are a few budgeting apps that make budgeting easy and fun. You might have to try a few to see what one works for you. Here is a link to the one I use:

If you would like read about having more fun and then want to talk about it, get the zoom link for our book discussion for the book, The Power of Fun, here:

Good Morning! Stop waiting for motivation to strike! It's not coming.
In these Saturday morning episodes we spend just 5 minutes decluttering. I'll give you the small task, you grab your donation bag. If you've already completed this area of decluttering, use this episode to get you moving on another task. You can stop at 5 minutes or you can spend the whole day. Just don't take out more than you can put away!
Today we are decluttering sweaters together!

Opening Bible Verse: Luke 14:28-30
65% of Americans surveyed said they had no idea how much they spent last month. This is my #1 sign that you might need a budget.
If you don't know how much you spend, you will run out of money while building your tower. I want all my listeners to be wildly successful and phenomenally wealthy. A monthly household budget is the foundation of your wealth.
If you're not tracking your money, you don't know where it's going. Therefore, you're not really in control of your money, someone else is.
If you're afraid to open the mail for fear of what's inside, a budget will squelch those fears. You'll begin to know exactly what's coming in and what's going out. Your money will begin to have an easy flow while you eliminate debt and build wealth.
If you don't have an emergency fund, a surprise bill could in some situations bankrupt you or cause you to go further into debt to cover expenses. Once a budget is running smoothly and debt is eliminated, you'll be so surprised just how many emergencies become minor inconveniences.
Think student loans are the only way to fund your kids' college education? With a budget, you'll again be amazed at just how much you'll be able to cash flow.
Finally, as Catholics, we are called to give God the first fruits of our labor. If you dream of being generous to church, charities and causes close to your heart, a budget will allow you to plan.
If you don't know where to begin with a household budget, I can help. It's one of my favorite topics! My budget coaching is 5 hours over the course of 4 months. We begin with a two hour session of gathering all your expenses and consumer debt. We then begin allocating your income to cover all these expenses while eliminating debt (if any). For the next three months we meet for one hour accountability and money mindset coaching. It takes about 4 months to work out the kinks of a budget so I'm there to help you stay focused and not get frustrated.

Happy Saturday! In this episode you will be amazed at what you can achieve in just 5 minutes of decluttering! If you have already decluttered this area, move on to another spot or use this time to do your morning tidy up.
Set your prayer intention to turn mundane tasks into prayer.
Set your carrot. This is what I do when I have a task to complete that I don't feel motivated to do. I'll save a podcast or audible book to enjoy while I do the less desirable task. Pair something you love with something you don't love quite so much.
Lastly, set your reward. What will you enjoy when you've done your task? I know Saturday mornings are all about hot coffee and a good book. Give yourself something to look forward to!
Today we are decluttering your socks! Ready, set, go! Get rid of those holy ones! They are not for church! Get rid of the ones that somehow work their way under your foot. What's up with that? Everything in your wardrobe should fit, flatter and make you feel fabulous.
