Holy Hot Mess – A Podcast for Catholic Women

Welcome to the Holy Hot Mess podcast, where host Heather takes you on a journey into the heart of Lent, exploring its significance, traditions, and the profound impact it can have on our spiritual lives and why the Lord through the Church requires us to enter into this season.

In this episode, Heather unravels the holy essence of Lent, also known as Quadragesima in Latin, translating to 'Fortieth.' It's a 40-day period of preparation leading up to Easter, excluding Sundays, dedicated to reflecting on the Lord’s passion, death, and resurrection. Heather delves into the biblical significance of the number 40, linking it to testing, trial, penance, purification, and renewal, drawing parallels to Jesus' 40 days in the desert.

Lent calls believers to embrace three core tenets: prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. Heather emphasizes the importance of understanding these practices, highlighting that fasting is not merely abstaining from a sin but a penitential exercise acknowledging our sins and seeking God's mercy. She recommends the book "Deliverance Prayers for the Laity" for a thorough examination of conscience.

The episode explores the concept of penance, clarifying that after a valid confession, believers are called to make reparations for the harm their sins caused. During Lent, sacrifices are made not only for personal penance but also for families, the Church, humanity, and the world.

Heather breaks down the requirements of fasting and abstinence, offering insights into who is obligated to participate and what these practices entail. Sundays, being solemnities, are exempt from fasting and abstinence, but Heather shares her family tradition of maintaining a sense of moderation on Sundays.

To round off the episode, Heather provides a diverse list of ideas for things to give up during Lent, ranging from material habits to personal behaviors. She also suggests positive practices to adopt, such as praying the rosary, engaging in daily masses, or embarking on a Lenten bible study or spiritual reading.

Join Heather on this introspective solo episode of the Holy Hot Mess podcast, as she guides you through the why and how of Lent, offering practical insights to enrich your spiritual journey.

In this episode of the Holy Hot Mess Podcast, host Heather interviews Felicia Morisette, exploring her unique journey from being a lukewarm Catholic to a worship leader at Bethel Church and eventually returning to the traditional Catholic faith. The conversation delves into the impact of a YouTube video by Fr. Chad on the Rightly Ordered Family, discussing the importance of biblical principles and roles in family life.

Heather and Felicia also share their personal experiences with biblical submission, emphasizing that it's not about inferiority or being a doormat but rather embracing God-given roles within marriage. They highlight the freedom and strength found in surrendering control, allowing their husbands to step into their roles confidently. The episode encourages listeners to approach these concepts with an open heart, trust in God's design, and embrace the beauty of biblical principles in their own faith and family journeys.

In this episode of the Holy Hot Mess Podcast, your host, Heather, delves into a profound exploration of the choice we have when faced with suffering. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of the Catholic faith and saints who have come before us, Heather encourages Catholic women to consider the option of embracing their crosses and choosing to suffer well with the Lord. Easier said than done.

Heather emphasizes the transformative power of viewing suffering as a means of salvation and spiritual growth. Rather than resisting or fighting against the inevitable challenges of life, she suggests that finding joy is possible when we align our struggles with the teachings of the faith and how exactly Catholic women are to do this in the midst of messy, painful lives.

Throughout the episode, Heather shares personal insights and stories, weaving a narrative that inspires listeners to reflect on their own relationship with suffering. The message is clear: the choice to embrace the cross and suffer well can lead to a deeper connection with the Our Creator, bringing about a sense of purpose which makes the suffering more tolerable to endure.

Join Heather on this thought-provoking journey as she explores the profound wisdom that lies in choosing to walk the path of joy through embracing the inevitable crosses presented in life. It's a reminder that, in the midst of the Holy Hot Mess of life, there is beauty in surrendering to the will of the Lord and finding peace through the transformative power of the cross.

Get ready for an authentic and heart-to-heart conversation on the Holy Hot Mess podcast, where Heather sits down with Melissa, one of the founders of the Saints Alive podcast.

In this episode, Melissa tells us how Saints Alive got its start and that many saints weren't always perfect. She dives into how sharing their authentic stories can provide children with holy role models who faced real-world challenges, just like they do. That holiness is for everyone not just priests and nuns all while using engaging audio dramatizations.

Discover the creative and down-to-earth approaches Saints Alive takes to weave the stories of saints into the fabric of kids' lives, making faith an accessible and engaging journey.

Join the Holy Hot Mess podcast for a candid discussion on how the Saints Alive podcast is authentically bringing the lives of saints to life for kids and families. Discover the transformative power of recognizing the messy, miraculous paths that led these holy individuals to sainthood, and how you and your kids are called to craft your own journey to heaven too.

Heather is back with another candid solo episode, and this time she's tackling a topic that's as spicy as your grandma's secret chili recipe – how we, as modern-day Catholic Christian women, can sometimes be too easily offended.

In this unfiltered chat, Heather throws a curveball at the prevailing idea that we're always victims of someone else's words or actions. She's not holding back on reminding us that we're the CEOs of our own feelings, and no one else should be signing our emotional paychecks.

Buckle up as Heather dives deep into the notion that just because we're offended doesn't mean the world has to hit the pause button on sharing opinions. According to her, that feeling of offense might just be the Holy Spirit giving us a little nudge. Is it a sign to protect our inner peace, and let the negativity or opposing opinion slide? Or, is it a divine tap on the shoulder, hinting that maybe it's time to flip the script and see things from another angle?

So grab your coffee, get comfy, and join Heather for some genuine, no-nonsense insights that'll have you nodding your head, laughing out loud, and maybe even questioning your own perspective.

Get ready for an authentic Holy Hot Mess conversation that's as real as it gets – because, let's be honest, life's too short for anything less!

Welcome to another episode of the Holy Hot Mess Podcast, where we're diving headfirst into the messy, real-life necessity of balancing care and love for both our spirits and bodies. In this episode, Heather get raw and authentic about the struggle to reconcile the sacredness of both our soul and our body as an earthly vessel and temple of the Holy Spirit.

Forget the polished facade of perfect spirituality – we're here to explore the nitty-gritty reality that our spirits and bodies both can be a hot mess, made in the image of God that are both meant for holiness and union with each other again someday in heaven. We're calling out the misconception that cherishing our souls means neglecting our bodies, and vice versa.

Heather share personal stories of their own battles with this dichotomy, exposing the challenges of treating their bodies as temples while also recognizing the pitfalls of letting the physical become an idol. This isn't your typical preachy sermon; it's a genuine conversation about the messy, beautiful struggle to find balance.

Dive into practical tips and down-to-earth advice on incorporating Catholic mindfulness into your daily life and learning to love both your spirit and body without the pressure of perfection.

So, grab your favorite beverage, get comfy, and let's get real together!

In this episode, Heather, your favorite Catholic, military wife, and mom of four, is taking us on a real and raw journey into the heart of the Divine Mercy message. This ain't just a history lesson; it's a personal exploration of why God's mercy is something we all desperately need.

Buckle up as Heather spills the beans on the Divine Mercy story – the second greatest story ever told. She dives into the made for us mix of God's perfect justice and His even more perfect mercy. And guess what? It's for YOU, no matter how tangled your life is, how tainted your past is, or how far you feel from perfection.

Heather lays it out straight: your messy life doesn't disqualify you from God's love. In fact, it's tailor-made for His forgiveness and mercy. Through laughter, maybe a tear or two, and some real talk, she shares why embracing the messy, merciful love of God is the game-changer we've all been searching for.

This episode isn't about preaching from a pulpit; it's about sharing stories – Heather's, yours, and mine. So, grab your coffee, press play, and let's navigate through the mess together. Because in the chaos of life, one thing's for sure: God's mercy is the anchor we all need.

This episode is a candid chat with SO many interruptions. It's funny but I just felt super called in the moment to record. The kids had given me a few moments of quiet and then BAM they kept adorably interrupting. This is life. 

Always, we're chatting about media intake and all the crazy happenings of the world - not the individual things that are going on bc, ya'll it's a non stop news cycle. But more so about how the 24 hour news cycle is meant to just bombard us with breaking news to elicit an emotional response and we're NOT called, and never have been in the history of the world, to know and be deeply emotionally invested in every single news bite throughout the whole entire world at the same time. It's insanity.

This episode is a candid chat with Rachel K, found on Instagram as https://www.instagram.com/raychelrosemary/ or her Etsy shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/raychelrosemary where she sells the CUTEST Catholic stickers, seasonal items, bags that I got my kiddos to take all their mass items. Literally the best.

We've been sliding into each others DMs for years now and she feels like a little IG niece or sister - but homegirl can hold her own in some RayRay rants on politics or faith. She's much tougher than I with her fortitude to endure the online battles.

We talk about everything from faith, to politics, to homeschool co ops, puking kids, and so much more.

This episode is about the intro to a virtues study I did with my Blessed is She woman's group. Below are the ways to find your own blessed is she group.

This episode is just me spilling my heart about life being messy. I actually found this audio I recorded in January 2020 (before crap hit the fan and it hasn't slowed down since then...) but I wanted to share because I wanted to let people know it's okay to have ebbs and flows in life, for it to feel messy... but we have to offer that messiness up for our own sanctification and for that of others. Don't let the hard times of life be wasted.

In the Summer of 2019 I did this interview with Colleen Carroll Campbell about her book; The Heart of Perfection - and I was SO NERVOUS that I legit didn't catch the first 10 min of audio. The interview is beautiful and is still so worth listening to.

They're really not so scary. I would actually venture to say that for a Christian we should look FORWARD to our death, hope for life in Christ, be SO THANKFUL for purgatory because the reality is most of us will end up there and then always ALWAYS pray for our dead. Always. Legit never stop.

If you have any questions or stories you want to share about your experiences with the death, saint's intercessions, your fears regarding death, or something you want me to deep dive and help you understand... email me at [email protected].

Dear Christians, we're not in Kansas anymore.

In this episode I get really real about the presence of demons and evil in my own life, my own past screwing around with the occult, and how real this enemy is. 

We cover everything from the fall of 1/3 of the angels who ended up being cast out of heaven, how this spiritual attack is ignored within our big C Church and little c churches, and a little bit of what you can do about it!

I caused a bit of a stir when I slammed my fist and shouted "What the public schools are asking you to do right now is NOT SCHOOL and you don't have to do it!"... ok, so I didn't slam my fist but I did tick some people off.

So, I caused a bit of a stir with a COVID-19 pandemic related blog post: you can read that here: This is NOT Homeschooling and You Don't Have to Do It.

This has been the most Lent Lent ever, am I right? Let's give up Netflix and chocolate and God is all: oh, and mass, and parks, libraries, leaving your house.

It's been on my heart for a while to speak about making friends as an adult. That ish is HARD. What happens when those friends we thought were going to be BFFLs fizzle out and you're no longer talking? It's heartbreaking and we can feel like "what's the point in all of that time on that friendship?" The root of it all is the trust that God is either using them or us or both to lead us to sainthood whether or not the friendship lasts 2 days or a lifetime.

 This is a part 2 from the episode about WHY you should declutter toys. I lay it out exactly HOW I tackle this big task. How to keep the trust with your kids when you're straight chucking 60% of their stuff (totally made up statistic).

We go over the books, the toys, puzzles, stuffed animals, and then how to store them for easy access but ALSO so that they can't rip everything out and destroy this newly cleaned and decluttered space.

I hope this reached you if you needed to hear it!

This episode is a bit of my background on when I got to the point where I had to declutter all the toys. I can't give testamony to walking into a 13 year olds room and taking away all their stuff but I can tell ya about when I took 80% of my 3 year old's toys away and since then we now have 4 kids with very, very few toys... and they PLAY.

You always hear the whole "your body is a temple" thing in regards to sexual purity, modesty, etc but in this episode we're diving into the legit theology of that. The fact that, if you are a baptized Christian, GOD lives within your being. And considering that before Jesus walked this earth the only place that could house the dwelling of God for people to have an intimate relationship was in the Jewish TEMPLE! 

When you understand the Jewish roots of this phrase then you can understand why health, nutrition, modesty, purity, love, grace, acceptance have a LOT to do with our bodies and our relationship with God who dwells within us.

She's a mom of 9 children (one on the way!) and the writer behind The Catholic All Year Compendium.

I got to have the privilege to talk to this awesome christian chick, Diana. She's over on Instagram (here) and her website at DianaDivulges.com. 

Diana Valette is a catholic convert who, until about 5 years ago was a non-believer who thought Christians were either a) dumb as rocks or b) lying about believing.

She talks about why it’s OK to have those types of thoughts where you question faith and God and what you can do with them.

Fresh off the incident, Heather takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride through a situation she recorded mere hours after it happened. The episode is a raw and unedited recounting of a messy ordeal that will have you laughing and cringing simultaneously.

Heather's frustration is palpable as she admits to still being a bit salty about the whole affair. Despite the chaos, the Holy Hot Mess crew embraces the motto of laughing off life's mishaps, turning this debacle into a source of amusement for everyone involved.

To make things even more chaotic, Heather's husband and cat make unexpected appearances throughout the episode, inadvertently adding to the overall hot mess vibe. True to the podcast's spirit, Heather decides not to edit out these impromptu interruptions, letting the audience experience the full, unfiltered essence of her wild storytelling.

So buckle up for an episode filled with toilet troubles, feline fiascos, and the unmistakable charm of Heather as she navigates the hilariously messy side of life, proving once again that laughter is the best remedy for any hot mess.

In this episode we're chatting about how sometimes it's hard to feel like God is there. And if He is there, maybe he's not there for US. We've all been in that spiritual drought right?

Faith when we're younger and talking to God is just "please do this and please do that" really doesn't cut it when you're a grown up. You need a relationship - after all, that's the whole point of salvation. A relationship with God. But how can you have a relationship if you don't even know how to communicate??

Prayer is so much more than reciting familiar prayers from mass, it's TWO way communication and it's something that has to be practiced all the time. Just like you'll loose touch with a friend if you don't put effort into checking in, the same goes for God!

I dive into some simple, easy, heart opening prayer steps taken from St. Ignatius of Loyola's method of spirituality.

After seeing a few posts in a Catholic Mama’s FB Group about needing to clear clutter. I thought, what better time than now to post my general *tips*, tricks, rules and guidelines to get your decluttering butt in gear.

If you grew up in the faith but never really understood most of it – this episode is for you. If you went to mass because thats what your family did, got first Holy Communion because your mom put you in Sunday school (CF/CCD) classes, and even got confirmed to “graduate” from those CF/CCD classes (like me!!) then this episode is definitely for you!

In this episode I’m going to be diving into some basic info on the Eucharist – the Catholic form of communion. What we believe, why we believe it, what makes it so special, and some other questions that come along with all of the above!

What if... you made an anti-resolution... to take absolutely nothing new on.

These things you're saying no to are not BAD they're just not for you right now. And that's ok!

On this episode we're chatting to anyone who has ever felt like the Catholic Church is just REALLY missing out on something because it might not give you that *feeling* that a praise band, exciting pastor, and flourishing ministry filled church might.

Recommendations:

"A Biblical Walk Through the Mass" by Dr. Edward Sri"Reasons to Believe" by Dr Scott Hahn

"A Father who keeps his promises" by Dr Scott Hahn

and "The Lambs Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth"

Honestly, this video (below) popped up in my Facebook feed a couple of years ago and this is what turned me on to Dr Hahn's writing and speeches. He's an amazing speaker, a former protestant minister and now Catholic theology professor and author. He's got some good, easy reading but great factual theology for anyone wanting to understand the Church, Jesus, and their teachings.

Today we're chatting all about how we can set the tone for a home full of joy!

We're not always going to have a HAPPY day. That's a given but at the end of every day we can be filled with joy for our home and our blessings and the gift of salvation, right?

So, how do we - as homemakers, achieve that?

I've put some tips together for you to be able to up the joy level in your home, so lets jump right in.

Tip #1: Create family spaces that are uncluttered and joy filled.

Tip #2: Place Jesus reminders in each room.

Tip #3: Clear the calendar. Start with a time block

Tip #5: Create some solid morning and evening routines.

Tip 6: DELEGATE and teach!

Tip 7: Light some candles, diffuse some happy scents, get some decor that makes you happy!

Tip 8: Listen to some good, uplifting music.

Tip 9: Figure out your resets if you've had a crappy start to your day. I'll do a whole other episode about how to turn around a really crappy day! For us we normally turn on some fun music, go play outside together, bake something or snuggle and read books.

Join Heather on this episode of "The Holy Hot Mess Podcast" for Catholic Women as she delves into the significance of January 6th, 2019 – the day Catholics celebrate the Epiphany. Ever wondered why Catholics say, "keep the tree up until Epiphany"? Heather sought out the answer, and she's here to share the enlightening explanation with you.

The Epiphany marks the Manifestation of Christ to the gentiles (non-Jewish people), as beautifully depicted in Matthew 2:1-12. Heather not only explains the theological significance but also provides resources to deepen your understanding. She recommends insightful talks and reflections, including those by Dr. Scott Hahn from the St. Paul Center and a podcast episode titled "The Sacred Page" featuring Dr. Brant Pitre, a notable modern theologian.

Heather also references CCC 528, highlighting how Jesus is presented not only as the Messiah of Jewish Israel but also as the Son of God and the Savior of the WHOLE WORLD during the Epiphany.

To add an extra layer of insight, she suggests exploring "Joy to the World: How Christ's birth changed everything and still does" by Dr. Scott Hahn.

As you listen, immerse yourself in the rich history and spiritual significance of the Epiphany. Heather's passionate exploration and recommended resources offer a chance to deepen your faith and appreciate the enduring impact of Christ's manifestation to the gentiles. Tune in, learn, and celebrate the Epiphany beyond the twelfth day of Christmas.

Welcome back to "The Holy Hot Mess Podcast" with Heather, a space for Catholic women navigating the beautiful chaos of faith, family, and homemaking. In this episode, Heather reflects on a profound realization that has reshaped her perspective on managing life's demands.

Heather candidly shares her personal journey of attempting to do "all the things" and the inevitable spillover that led her to a revelation straight from God: "You are not called to do all the things… you are called to do the things you have prayed about and know I called you to do."

For Heather, those things are clear:

1. Live her faith and spread Jesus’s love and hope to others.
2. Be a faithful, loving wife and mother.
3. Embrace her role as a homemaker.

She encourages listeners feeling overwhelmed to step back and discern their own priorities. Not the things they want to do, but the things God has called them to do. If you're exhausted, burnt out, and struggling to find time for your roles, Heather challenges you to identify the unnecessary tasks that may be crowding your plate.

In the spirit of community, Heather invites listeners to share their roles and the things they need to let go of to fully embrace their callings. She emphasizes the importance of glorifying God and excelling in the roles He has chosen for each individual.

Looking ahead, Heather teases Episode 19, where she'll delve into the practical aspects of scheduling joy into your life. She promises insights on time blocking, gaining a bird's eye view of your schedule, and tools to help you navigate the demands of daily life while staying true to your priorities.

As a final challenge, Heather urges listeners to revisit the personal priority list discussed in the previous episode. It's a call to reflection and action, a step towards living a life aligned with God's calling and finding joy in the roles that matter most. Join Heather on this empowering journey of faith, family, and intentional living.

Welcome to "The Holy Hot Mess Podcast" with Heather! In this empowering episode, Heather delves into the importance of creating a life priorities list or a family mission statement. As we step into the New Year, Heather encourages listeners to take the time to set goals and missions for themselves, emphasizing that any day can be your "New Year" if you choose to embark on a new journey.

Defining the things that are truly important to you serves as a powerful tool to measure all decisions against. Heather highlights how having a life priorities list can significantly reduce decision fatigue, acting as a guiding measuring stick for life decisions. The benefits extend beyond decision-making, providing a roadmap for personal and family goals, and contributing to overall well-being.

In this episode, Heather walks you through the process of defining your life priorities and introduces a free printable workbook to guide you in the journey. She shares her own defined priorities, such as God and her relationship with Him, her husband, kids, health, finances, and her ministry at HolyHotMessMom.com. Heather's openness about her priorities serves as an inspiration for listeners to reflect on their own values and create a personal and family priority list.

The episode is not only a call to action but also a challenge for listeners to sit down, reflect, and write their own priority lists. Heather's free workbook is no longer available but just sit down with a notebook and Heather in your ear, designed to assist in this process.

Tune in for a motivational and practical guide to setting your life priorities and embracing the New Year or any new chapter with intention and clarity. Get ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and intentional living with the guidance of Heather's wisdom and the helpful tools she provides.

Welcome to a special solo episode of "The Holy Hot Mess Podcast" for Catholic Women with Heather! In this candid and heartfelt episode, Heather takes a moment to speak directly to you and offer some much-needed encouragement and motivation for those challenging mom days. We all know those moments when it feels like the weight of motherhood is just a little too heavy to bear.

Heather shares her insights on navigating those tough days, when you're unsure of how to handle the challenges in front of you, and the days when you question your abilities as a mom. Speaking from the heart, she aims to connect with any mama who might be in the trenches, struggling, and feeling overwhelmed. The message is clear: you are equipped, via the Holy Spirit living within yourself, to be the amazing mom your children need, because you were made for this.

As with any candid conversation, Heather acknowledges a couple of misspoken words in the episode. She clarifies that when she mentioned "when YOU were formed in YOUR womb," she meant to say "when YOU were formed in your mom's womb" – a genuine slip-up that humorously highlights the challenges of recording podcasts amidst sleep deprivation and the chaos of the YMCA.

Heather also corrects another slip by saying, "that doesn't mean you should confess and admit your shortcomings," where she meant to say, "that doesn't mean you SHOULDN'T confess..." It's a reminder that, just like all moms, she's a hot mess at times and embraces the authenticity of her journey.

I hope this reached you if you needed to hear it!

In today's episode, we tackle the tough question that keeps many of us Christian women up at night: Why the heck does God let bad things happen, especially to good people? 

I (Heather) open about my own struggles and doubts. I share a wonderful video on suffering from Ascension Presents Chosen Confirmation series (check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMCPW53-cGw). It's like a crash course for your soul on pain, suffering, and God's love from people who have suffered immense pain.

The answer: Bad things happen because God gave us free will, because He loves us. In order for us to love him back it has to be freely chosen by us, or else it's not real love its slavery. So in order for that love to be free we must also have the choice to choose to NOT love him (sin the word actually means "without", aka without God). Because we have the choice to choose him or not (sin) that also means we are subject to the just consequences of those sins. So bad things happen as a result of our own sin, being in the crosshairs of the sin of another, or because of original sin and the fact that our world isn't perfect (sickness, disease, pain, natural disaster, etc). 🌟

Hey there, messy miracles! Welcome to The Holy Hot Mess Podcast, where we're spilling the tea on finding our way to heaven right in the middle of life's glorious chaos. I'm your host Heather and resident Hot Mess seeking holiness, and I'm here to prove that the journey to salvation isn't a neat and tidy affair – it's a messy, beautiful dance with the Lord.

Picture this podcast as your comfy couch with a friend and a cozy beverage where we dive into the real stuff. We're talking about how the Big Guy Upstairs uses our epic wins and facepalming fails to sculpt us into the masterpieces we're meant to be. The catch? We've got to hand over the reins and let Him do His thing.

Expect loads of inspiration with stories that hit you right in the feels, interviews that blow your mind, peppered with practical tips to survive the daily whirlwind. We're also throwing in a hefty dose of accessible Catholic theology – nothing too preachy, just enough to keep it real, soulful, enlightening and practical to your life as a Catholic Woman.

But let's get one thing straight – we're not at Sunday sermon. This is like chatting with your bestie over a cup of coffee (or maybe something stronger). Laughs? Check. Tears? Double-check. It's a rollercoaster, and we're all strapped in together.

So, if you're up for navigating this holy hot mess called life, hit play and join our Shawty squad. 🌟✨
