Money can feel like one of those topics that’s super heavy… even when you want to be a good steward.

In Part 1 of this conversation, we sit down with Amanda Texera, co-founder of Wallet Win, to talk about money through a Catholic lens—without shame, without extremes, and without the “girlboss” energy that often leaves women feeling more stressed than before.

Amanda shares her own story (including a very real honeymoon money moment 😅), how she and her husband became debt-free on a modest income, and why financial stewardship isn’t about control—it’s about freedom. Freedom to live with clarity, generosity, and the ability to say yes when God invites you somewhere new.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m just not good with money,” or “I’ll deal with this once I’m married,” we hope this episode feels like a deep exhale… and a loving invitation back into reality—where peace is possible.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why money is emotionally loaded for so many women (and why you’re not alone)
• The two extremes we often see in the culture: avoidance vs. obsession
• A Catholic definition of money: a resource entrusted to you by God
• Why money shouldn’t be the thing keeping you from saying yes to your vocation
• Amanda’s debt-free story—and what it taught her about unity, stewardship, and trust
• The first foundational step toward financial peace: awareness
• Why budgeting is a path to peace (not punishment)

In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Therese Northrop, we move from the why of holistic health into the deeply practical.

If Part 1 helped you rethink the body-soul split, this episode helps you begin living differently inside your own body.

We talk specifically about the nervous system — what it’s actually doing, why so many women feel constantly dysregulated, and how simple, faithful practices like breath and prayer can begin restoring peace from the inside out.

Together, we explore:

• Why we’re designed to live primarily in rest + digest (not fight or flight)
• How chronic stress reshapes the body over time
• What nervous system dysregulation actually looks like in daily life
• The connection between breath, spirit (ruach), and regulation
• How Scripture isn’t just spiritual encouragement — it has biological impact
• What it means to approach healing with discernment instead of fear
• Practical ways to begin caring for your body today

Dr. Therese also shares wisdom on how to find a chiropractor or holistic practitioner you feel safe with — and why safety and discernment matter more than perfection.

If you’ve been feeling tense, reactive, disconnected from your body, or unsure how to approach holistic care faithfully… this episode is an invitation back into integration.

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.
