| 9/28/26 | Stress Management for Catholic Women Who Can't Slow Down (with Suzanne Bracci) | Suzanne Bracci prayed for a sign. She was a school counselor who sensed God pulling her somewhere new, and she told him plainly that it would have to be unmistakable because she was not going to move on her own. A few weeks later she opened a door at work and found a man pointing a rifle at her.She still did not leave for six more months. And years before that, her body had already tried to tell her the same thing, when chest pain and a family history of heart disease sent her to the hospital and every test came back clean. In this episode Suzanne shares what it cost her to ignore both, and the practical, faith rooted tools she now teaches Catholic women who cannot hear much of anything over the noise of their own lives.What we cover:- Why chronic stress shows up as chest pain, headaches, heart palpitations, and exhaustion long before it shows up as burnout- How saying yes to good things, one at a time, is what actually put her in a hospital bed- What happened the night she prayed for a sign, and why she still took six months to act on it- How to tell the difference between environmental stress you cannot control and the stress you are generating in your own mind- Why rest is holy, and how to stop treating self care as something you have to earn first- How to build a stress purse, a written toolkit of physical, mental, social, and spiritual strategies you can reach for in the moment- A guided diaphragmatic breathing technique you can do in the car or between meetings- How thought reframing turns a spiraling thought into a prayer instead of a headache- Why self pity keeps you stuck, and what she did every morning to walk back into that buildingConnect with Suzanne Bracci:Website: https://suzannebracci.comBook: Hope for Struggling Catholics: A Path to Spiritual and Personal Renewal (available on Amazon) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHJC3683?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallbackInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/suzannebracci.speaker.author/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SuzanneBracci.Faith.Hope.Love/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SuzanneBracciThe Catholic Woman Podcast:Substack: https://substack.com/@realmariehansonInstagram: https://instagram.com/thecatholicwomanpodcastThank you to our sponsors:- Helena House Therapy, a virtual Catholic integrated therapy practice specializing in perinatal mental health.

| 2/16/26 | Trauma, Anxiety & the “Both/And” Life: How Catholic Women Heal Without Chasing Perfection (with Catherine DiNuzzo) | Holiness isn’t a highlight reel, and healing isn’t “just pray harder.” Licensed professional counselor and Catholic author/speaker Catherine DiNuzzo joins Marie to bring clarity to what trauma actually is (and isn’t), why so many women minimize their wounds, and how to move through pain without getting stuck in it. They talk about the pressure to “push through,” the lie of “I’m not enough,” how to stop bullying yourself internally, and why the saints’ lives were messier than the kids’ books make them look. Plus: what to do when the “trauma” is connected to your own past sins or mistakes, and how confession really does wipe the slate clean.In this episode, we discuss:Why trauma isn’t about “how bad it was,” but about how it impacted youThe trap of comparison: “It’s not as bad as hers, so I shouldn’t feel this”How 2020–2022 exposed the limits of “just push through” cultureHoliness vs. perfection: why we strive now, and become “fully holy” in HeavenThe “both/and” life: you can be grateful and still be woundedThe quiet burden so many women carry: “I’m not enough”A practical reframe: stop talking to yourself in a way you’d never talk to a friendHow wounds can become pathways to grace: surrender as a white flag, not a victory speechSaints and suffering: what we miss when we only hear the “problem → Jesus → happy ending” versionWhen the trauma is tied to your own choices: forgiving yourself for what you didn’t know thenMary Magdalene as a witness of mercy: your past doesn’t disqualify you from the crossHow to stop living with your “mouth barely above water” and learn to swim through life’s wavesConnect with GuestCatherine DiNuzzo — Catholic speaker, author, and licensed professional counselorThe Catholic Guide Through Anxiety + companion workbookDiscount code: CWP15 for 15% off Catherine’s resources on her websiteResources & LinksJoin the Facebook community: The Catholic Woman Facebook groupWatch on video: The Catholic Woman on YouTubeMore episodes + resources: https://catholicwoman.coFor deeper discussions, subscribe on SubstackBring Marie to speak at your eventShow SponsorsBRDY CandlesNon-toxic, Scripture-tied candles designed to help you notice God in the everydayCode: CWP10 for 10% off BOMA USA (Billings Method) — Fertility 101 CourseLive intro class + private chart reviews with a certified instructorCode: Catholic20 for the full courseCode: Catholic5 for the one-time classChews Life Rosaries + Crux InvictaSilicone rosaries for kids, wearable rosary bracelets, and moreCode: TCW15 for 15% off on either siteIf this episode hits close to home, don’t keep it to yourself.
