About this episode
Sterling Jaquith discusses the complexities of Mother's Day and how to find true fulfillment beyond material gifts.
You get to decide how Mother's Day goes. All of it. In this episode, Sterling gets honest about why Mother's Day feels so loaded — and why no amount of flowers, brunch, or Pandora bracelets will fix the real problem. In this episode: Why your family can't give you what you actually want on Mother's Day (and whose job it actually is) The thoughts that turn a mediocre Sunday into a devastating one — and how to catch them How to ask for exactly what you want without resentment when it doesn't happen Why interior peace on Mother's Day is a barometer for something much bigger Plus: Sterling shares what she's been doing to get her own sparkle back, the app that's coming soon, and a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to France for mothers and daughters. You are a good mom. God sees all of it — and he doesn't need a special day to tell you that. Check out our mother/daughter pilgrimage to France: https://catholicmomcalm.com/france/ NEW!
