Whether you’ve kept your Lenten commitments or are just now feeling called to start, this episode offers inspiration and practical tips for making Holy Week and the Triduum truly holy - and ensuring your Easter feast is spiritually nourishing.

This week’s episode is extra special. I’m joined by my husband, Mike, as we reflect on 35 years of marriage, raising a family, and the role our Catholic faith has played through every twist, trial, and joy.

We share stories you’ve never heard - how we met at Purdue, the early struggles of our marriage, raising kids, facing illness, discovering spiritual fasting, and learning to pray together.

You’ll hear:

• How we navigated faith, family, and the messiness of real life
• What spiritual fasting has done for our physical and spiritual health
• How small sacrifices have drawn us closer to each other — and to Jesus
• The prayer my husband now prays over our family

Whether you’ve been married 3 years or 30, or you're just seeking deeper faith in your relationships, I think this conversation will bless you.

If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, be sure to catch up, as this one builds on everything we discussed. In this episode, I continue sharing how faith, fasting, and surrendering to Christ have deepened my marriage with Mike.

I talk about the power of spiritual fasting, how small sacrifices bring couples closer, and why true joy comes from embracing the struggles and blessings of marriage.

Discover why fasting together strengthens marriage, how to invite Christ into every struggle (big or small), the role of prayer, humility, and perseverance in building a lasting bond, and the surprising power of laughter and letting go of control.
