If you're a Catholic mom and Lent is coming up — and instead of feeling motivated you feel tired, overwhelmed, or quietly dreading it — this episode is for you.
Sometimes Lent feels like too much not because we lack faith, but because we're already carrying a heavy cross. Pregnancy. Postpartum. Chronic exhaustion. Marriage strain. Financial pressure. Ongoing suffering that hasn't let up.
In this episode, I talk about a different way to approach Lent when life is already hard.
We talk about:
Why not every Lent needs another sacrifice added on
How God may be inviting you to carry the cross you already have more closely with Him
The difference between suffering well and white-knuckling
When adding prayer may be more faithful than giving something up
Why Lent doesn't need to feel harsh to be holy
How discernment — not comparison — leads to real interior peace
This is not about doing Lent "easier."
It's about doing Lent with God, in truth, trust, and love — especially in seasons where your capacity is limited.
If Lent has ever felt heavy, confusing, or discouraging, I hope this brings you clarity and peace.
