If you’ve ever wanted to care for your body more intentionally but felt wary of crossing into “woo woo” territory—this episode is for you.

Maria and Meghan sit down with Dr. Therese Northrop, a Catholic chiropractor and long-time Theology of the Body student, for a grounded conversation on what it looks like to pursue healing without drifting into woo-woo—and without cutting your body off from your faith.

Together, we talk about:

• Why Catholics are meant to think holistically (body + soul… always)
• How Western medicine’s “body over here / soul over there” split affects the way we approach health
• Why nervous system regulation matters (and why we’re designed to live in rest + digest)
• The two most accessible daily tools for regulation: breath + prayer
• How to discern holistic modalities with wisdom (without fear)
• What it can mean when your symptoms are trying to tell you something—gently, not shamefully

If you’ve felt stressed, dysregulated, or disconnected from your body… let this be an invitation back into integration—with Jesus in the center.

What if dating didn’t have to feel confusing, rushed, or disconnected from who you really are?

In Part 2 of our conversation with Rachel Hoover Canto—author of Pretty Good Catholic—we move into the places many Christian dating conversations avoid: physical boundaries, online dating, healing, and how to date without turning every encounter into a high-stakes interview.

Rachel offers practical, grounded wisdom rooted in faith and real-life experience—guidance that honors both your humanity and your desire for a holy, life-giving relationship.

✨ In Part 2, we explore:

• Physical affection as a reflection—not the foundation—of a relationship
• Navigating boundaries with clarity, courage, and communication
• Online meeting vs. online dating (and how to use apps well)
• When it’s wise to pause dating and tend to healing
• Dating with intention without the pressure or performance

This episode is for the woman who wants to date well, stay open, and move at a pace that feels honest, embodied, and aligned with her values.

What if the problem isn’t you—but the dating advice you were given?

In this episode, we welcome Rachel Canto, author of Pretty Good Catholic, for an honest conversation about singleness, longing, and the dating wisdom many Christian women were never taught.

Rachel shares her story of desiring marriage, navigating heartbreak and discernment, and how God met her in the ache—eventually leading her to write the book she wishes she’d had years earlier.

✨ In Part 1, we explore:

• Rachel’s personal journey and call to write Pretty Good Catholic
• Why so much faith-based dating advice feels incomplete
• The need for practical, embodied guidance
• How hope can stay alive in the waiting

Part 2 continues the conversation with tangible tools for boundaries, physical affection, and modern dating.
