There Is No Formula for Vocation | Episode 133

Have you ever felt like if you just followed the right advice, attended enough events, or prayed the right novena, you'd finally meet your future spouse?In this fiery conversation, Meghan and Maria tackle a message many single Catholic women have unknowingly absorbed: that marriage is the reward for doing everything "right." Together, they unpack why God is not a vending machine, why there is no formula for vocation, and how certain voices in the dating space may be fueling shame, fear, and self-criticism rather than hope.If you've ever felt broken, behind, or like you're somehow failing at singleness, this episode offers a refreshing invitation to release the pressure, trust God's unique plan for your story, and remember a powerful truth: you are not a problem to be fixed.Because your journey isn't a formula—it's a relationship with a Father who knows and loves you deeply. ❤️.💫 Doors to Thriving in the Space Between open June 22! 💫If you've been listening to the podcast and wondering whether TIS might be your next step, we'd love to invite you to learn more. 🤍✨ Join the June Waitlist👉 Learn more and save your spot here ✨ Attend Our FREE Live Event on Tuesday, June 23 at 7pm CT:Why Good Men and Good Women Keep Missing Each OtherWe'll be unpacking some of the hidden dynamics that create confusion, frustration, and disconnection in modern dating—and what healthy connection actually requires.👉 Save your seat here✨ Want help discerning whether TIS is the right fit for you?Book a complimentary Clarity Call with Meghan or Maria.
