Calling all Catholic moms! Did you know it's possible to do this Catholic motherhood thing without losing your mind?

I'm Sterling Jaquith, a homeschool mom to six young kids, a business owner and I teach busy Catholic moms how to have more peace in their lives and homes. Each week on the Catholic Calm Mom podcast, I'll give you practical tools for calming yourself down, discerning what God wants you to do, and making rock-solid plans so life doesn't feel so overwhelming. If you're a Catholic mom, you're in the right place. Life is about to get so much better!

  • Being Well Taken Care Of
    Dec 31 2025

    In today's episode, I talk about what it really means to feel well taken care of — and why that feeling isn't created by our circumstances, but by our thoughts.

    I share the powerful story of Corrie ten Boom and the fleas, along with real examples from my own marriage, motherhood, and Christmas experiences, to show how the story we tell ourselves shapes how we experience our lives.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • Why feeling well taken care of is a state of mind, not a fact

    • How the "I'm not well taken care of" story creates resentment and loneliness

    • Why complaining can feel like connection (and how it often backfires)

    • What changes when you choose to believe, "I am so well taken care of"

    • How this mindset helps you care for yourself, your kids, and your marriage with more peace

    I also share an invitation to join Mary's Heart, Martha's Order, a six-week challenge starting in January to help you build real interior peace — no matter what's happening around you.

    eeling stressed, tired, or disheartened this Christmas season? You're not broken — you're carrying a lot. In this episode, Sterling talks about why so many moms feel disappointed at Christmas (even when they "did everything right"), and how to prevent that disappointment before it hits.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • The 4 common places Christmas disappointment shows up (and why)

    • What to do when you feel like you have to do everything

    • How to handle kids being disappointed without shaming them

    • How to deal with disappointment around gifts (giving and receiving)

    • Why it's okay to feel sad — and how to be at peace while you do

    • The most important plan: putting YOU into Christmas (24th, 25th, or 26th)

    A practical, compassionate pep talk for the mom who's trying to hold it all together — and wants a calmer, more meaningful Christmas.
