Overwhelmed Mom

from Catholic Mom Calm Hosted by Sterling Jaquith

"The melancholy side of me just isn't having it." A mom wrote in with paragraphs of feelings — the wounds work, the hormones, the hard days, the confusion about why she still can't seem to get on top of it all. Sterling read every word. And then she said something that might surprise you. In this episode, Sterling breaks down one of the most common ways we use self-help work against ourselves — and why "learning land" might be keeping you more stuck than you realize. You'll learn: Why confusion is often a spiritual attack — and what to do about it The difference between wounds work and managing your mind today Why seven bad days a month is actually normal (and what changes when you know that) How to stop indulging thoughts that are creating your suffering — without toxic positivity Why bad days don't mean your life is bad This one is for the woman who is doing all the work and still having hard days. You're not broken. You're just human. And there's something available to you right now — no healing required.
