Mother Teresa's Shoes: Why Self-Care Isn't Selfish for Catholic Moms

Dela

Mother Teresa wore whatever shoes were left until her feet were deformed, and Catholic moms often share that story like it's a calling for all of us. Sterling Jaquith, Rita Johnson (Health and Hormones) and Denise Jelinek (Weight Loss with the Holy Spirit) talk honestly about why caring for yourself isn't vanity, why your kids are watching how you do it, and how it can become a form of worship.

WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why we put off self-care: choosing habits from woundedness instead of praying about them, and believing lies like "I don't have time"
  • Authentic self-care: knowing your needs, meeting them, and how you talk to yourself
  • Mother Teresa's shoes and a dorm-room mattress: why another woman's calling isn't yours
  • Your kids are a mirror, and how caring for yourself honors the God who made you
