Lent can feel especially heavy if you're a perfectionist Catholic mom.
If you tend to measure your love for God by how well you perform — how well you pray, fast, or "do Lent" — this season can quietly increase anxiety instead of peace.
In this video, I talk about:
why Lent often feels harder for perfectionist Catholic moms
how perfectionism is usually rooted in a wound, not holiness
why God is not asking you to "perform better" this Lent
how Lent is meant to lead you into trust, not self-criticism
Lent isn't about proving you're a good Catholic.
It's about letting go of what you cling to for safety — and discovering that God is enough.
If you've ever wondered:
"Am I doing Lent right?"
"Why do I feel worse instead of closer to God?"
"Why is this season so heavy for me?"
