Creating a Rule of Life around Spiritual Fasting is from ancient Catholic Tradition and has been around forever. As humans, we love patterns and were created to strive for good virtuous habits.
Do you take the time to really ask yourself: “How am I going to live my life this week or this day?” If you do, good for you! That’s a win. If not, I can help you because this is where freedom lies.
A Rule of Life is very similar with a little virtuous thought thrown in. If used correctly it will shine a light on God‘s will for you and your mission given from Him. I use it from morning until night— and it is why my delay and pray efforts are so successful — both personally and as a business.
It's a way to shift from the Vice Cycle to the Virtue Cycle — from the over-desire of food and alcohol to the holy desire of the one True Food — Jesus Christ. In part one of this topic, I share what is needed for a good regimen within a rule of life, with tips from our favorite exorcist, Fr. Ripperger.

My book coach, Nika Maples didn't just help me write and publish my first book, but also took my course and group coaching experience, Delay and Pray™, and got phenomenal results!
She has lost 50 pounds since starting the Delay and Pray™ program last July. She has an incredible and inspiring story, and I am certain you will relate to her thoughts about sugar and losing weight at her age.
Nika is not Catholic, but as a Protestant, she is on fire for God, and we share similar values and love for Jesus. We discuss the power of perseverance amid challenges, when it comes to writing a book and losing weight, or any other project you may have, and how we can do hard things through the power of the Holy Spirit.
One of the powerful breakthroughs that Nika had during the course was:
Food is not my celebration, and food is not my motivation.
I encourage you to listen to this episode if you have thoughts or questions like:
What results can I get from the Delay and Pray™ Group Coaching Experience?Why do I need coaching to lose weight, grow closer to God, or achieve a goal?Do I need to be Catholic to go through the Delay and Pray™ program and get results?We share our collaboration experiences, and how, even as coaches, we need coaching in other areas of our lives that are not our areas of expertise. We explore themes of obedience, trust in God's providence, and the commitment and dedication required for successful coaching and achieving our goals for the glory of God.

Friends, my book launched this week! "Delay and Pray™: Permanent Weight Loss through Spiritual Fasting" is available for purchase on Amazon. Publishing a book is not for the faint of heart, and it is a difficult challenge, but I did it, and I cannot believe it!
The Blessed Mother called me into this mission a long time ago, and it has taken me so long to answer the call to Spiritual Fasting. The book itself is an inspirational summary of my online course, and a companion piece to this podcast, all three by the same name, Delay and Pray™.
There is a lot of Holy Spirit involved in this, and I've had a lot of people helping me with this. It has evolved into what I hope to be a movement. The Spiritual Fasting Movement, through Delay and Pray™.
In today's episode, I share some thoughts on my book launch, including speeches that my husband and I gave at the book launch party. My husband's speech was a beautiful introduction to me and such a heartfelt love note to me that I appreciated so much.
Have you ordered your book yet? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts so far, and would very much appreciate a review on Amazon this week. Thank you!

Happy Easter! Hallelujah! Lent is over and the Easter season has arrived! This was seriously the busiest, but most joyful Lent for me. I had a perfectly imperfect Lent, filled with a little hunger, making some extra physical space for the Holy Spirit to do His work. And He did it.
Be assured of this - even if you didn't do everything perfectly. Perfect doesn't matter with Christ. Intention counts - especially if you are out of your normal pattern.
And then Easter comes - so we feast in celebration of the Lord's resurrection to new life. I am feasting on lots of things other than food this Easter Octave! I am feasting this year on the fact that my book is done and will be on sale this month! How exciting is that? Can you feast on something other than food? You bet!
The Feast of the Annunciation was moved to Monday, April 8th this year. This is a Divine appointment that the Feast of the Annunciation had to be moved to the date of the Total Eclipse of the Sun and my consecration date to Jesus, through Mary. Oh my! I am in awe of this.
In this episode, I recount my experience of Lent including my preparation for Marian consecration, and share all the ways I will be feasting this Easter season, and how you can feast and celebrate too.

Spiritual Fasting has absolutely changed my life for the better and I want to pass on to you five of the amazing categories of benefits today.
Jesus intermittently fasted, Mary fasted, and the Jewish people before Jesus fasted. They had particular fasting days and were perfectly capable of going long periods without food. They ate sparingly, the food was basic and healthy and there was not an abundance of it.
Fasting was expected in most religious cultures in the past. The secular culture of today calls it Intermittent Fasting but paired with a meaningful spiritual purpose, we call it Catholic Fasting or Spiritual Fasting now.
Most people don't do it today because of a lack of knowledge and they think it requires being wildly hungry and withstanding huge amounts of discomfort. This is untrue. As scripture says,
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge" - Hosea 4:6
Spiritual Fasting is amazing for you and when done correctly it requires being only mildly hungry and withstanding mild discomfort once in a while both resulting in HUGE benefits for you and those that you love. With the Delay and Pray method - we concentrate on Metabolic Flexibility using a very effective rhythm of the week called the Eat Fast Feast Cycle.
In this episode, we uncover the life-changing effects of spiritual fasting and learn how to integrate it as a lifestyle for optimal health and spiritual growth.

It's time to wrap up our 3-part series with Fr. Logan Parrish on our discussion on the quote from St. Peter Chrysologus, as we unpack the final part of the quote -- Mercy!
Prayer knocks, fasting obtains, mercy receives.
We pray, and then we add fasting, which increases the power of the prayer, and then we blast that prayer up to heaven by adding mercy to the mix. But whose mercy are we talking about? My mercy? God’s mercy? Or is this another “Both-and” that Fr. Logan likes to discuss? I bet you can guess the answer to that one.
He shares how St. Peter emphasizes mercy as the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. Fr. Logan also shares some beautiful insights about the Triduum, as we enter into Holy Week in a few days.

This week, we are back with Fr. Logan Parrish for part 2 of our 3-part series to continue our discussion on the second part of the quote from St. Peter Chrysologus -- Fasting!
Prayer knocks, fasting obtains, mercy receives.Fasting with Prayer is a miraculous combination. Fasting without prayer is wasteful in my book. In this episode, Fr. Logan shares why fasting obtains miracles. He talks about how we are created - that we are bodily beings and what we consume matters.
He also shares insightful analogies and reminds us that we are not made for comfort. We are more like cacti! Tune in to the episode to understand what he means by that.

Have you read the book The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy? Although I read it a long time ago during my Life Coach Schooling, the Holy Spirit worked through family members and clients on three separate occasions recently to ask me if I'd read it.
I took it as an invitation to re-read it and create a comparison to see what the Holy Spirit was prompting me to find. In one column, I wrote what the book had to offer me in Gap/Gain language, and in the next column, I re-wrote that information in what I am now calling the Holy Spirit language. And wow, did I learn a lot!
When we read books, depending on our individual experiences and what we are seeking from the work, we typically pull out lessons that we can apply to our present circumstances and help us in our daily goals.
"I remember all the highs and lows that got me to where I'm at, and I sit here humbled and amazed by the life God has given me." - Dr. Benjamin HardyI'd love to hear your thoughts after you listen. If you've read the book previously or read it after listening to this episode, I'd love to know what the Holy Spirit prompts you to find.

Have you ever considered how fasting prepares our hearts to receive God's grace? And how, by disciplining our bodies, we can weaken sinful tendencies and open ourselves to the transformative power of the Holy Spirit?
Through spiritual fasting, I have discovered true hunger - the body and blood of Jesus Christ. I had no idea I was stuffing myself with sugar, flour, and alcohol, instead of going to Him in prayer and sacraments.
I was seeking comfort from the world - not the actual True Food that would satisfy me. I learned that comfort food and drink will never satisfy me.
Mary, the Mother of God, points us to her Son as the True Food and True Drink. This mystery is the center of our faith as Catholics.
We tend to focus so much on earthly food - that we need! We do meal prep and focus on what we can and should eat according to the day. But do we do spiritual meal prep? That is what I was missing all along.

Like many Catholics out there, Father Edward Looney has been accompanying me on my spiritual journey since I started Catholic Life Coaching, and I never even met him! This is because I have been listening to his Podcast, The Mystical City of God Podcast in a Year.
The podcast recounts the amazing book with the same title: The Mystical City of God. This book literally changed my life and motivated me on a deeply spiritual level to fast for the intentions of the Blessed Mother and love her deeply.
If you want to know more about this book, you can listen to episode #18, where I discuss the book with my dear friend, Michelle Dunne. We also did a book discussion series for almost an entire year that is hosted within my Delay and Pray™ Group Coaching Experience for your self-paced viewing.
On today's episode, which is part one of a 2-part series, we hear about Fr. Looney's love for the Blessed Mother and how he came to be a Marian theologian. He shares what drew him to The Mystical City of God and to create the corresponding podcast in a year.
We discussed a little bit about the book and shared our favorite parts of it. I got to ask Fr. Looney about private revelation and the importance of Marian Shrines and going on Catholic pilgrimage. It was a very informative and wonderful conversation. Enjoy!

Lent is about caring for others and helping yourself to align with God‘s will, with commitment, courage, and capability - in that order.
It’s not fun sometimes, but when you learn to get hungry for the 6 weeks of Lent with the Holy Spirit, and then arrive on Easter morning after you’ve slayed the sugar dragon, and walked with Jesus under the cross down the road of Calvary - it is simply transformational in body and soul.
Lent is here to transform us. This adventure is not to be taken lightly but to be planned like a six-week trip abroad to a distant country. Are we planning?
“But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purpose of His heart through all generations.” (Psalms 33:11)
He planned for you.
He has a specific purpose in mind for you. Are you ready to plan for Him?
Let's plan and adventure together in the special Lent Delay & Pray™ Group Coaching Experience! Doors are now open.

Today, I am interviewed by Kylie Hein, a coach that is near and dear to my heart. She is a certified Catholic mindset coach on a mission to bring souls back to Christ through prayer, by combining mindset coaching with the rules of discernment for spiritual growth.
In this episode, Kylie recalls a memory of me teaching the group at Metanoia Catholic what I call “the water on the wood miracle” that we should all be praying for. Why? Because sometimes we just need to be obedient to God, and do what He says.
Tune in as we discuss the importance of spiritual preparation during Lent, the impact of redemptive suffering and mindset shifts, and share our personal journeys, challenges, and triumphs in embracing spiritual fasting. Enjoy!

My favorite scriptures in the Bible are about possibility, and that nothing is impossible with God. Do you make decisions from a place of POSSIBILITY or from a place of lack, doubt and scarcity?
The mindset of possibility comes from a mindset of love and abundance, especially beginning with Christ.Today, I want to introduce you to Kelly Shoup. She is a child behavior specialist, a pediatric occupational therapist, and a certified Catholic mindset coach who possesses tenacity, deep spirituality, and a mindset of possibility.
For the past 25 years, she has been helping parents go from chaos, conflict, and out-of-control feelings with their kids to harmony in their homes and better connections with their families that will last a lifetime.
Kelly joined the Delay and Pray™ program because she had always been health-focused, but had never considered pairing spiritual fasting with the health aspects. She was also starting her business and wanted coaching around that as well. Kelly experienced a lot of growth through the program, and shares all about it in this interview.

Is 2024 the year you will grow in your relationship with Christ and be open to receiving all the graces and blessings that God wants to shower on you? Is it the year you will lose the extra weight?
Today's conversation is with Jackie, one of Beth's star clients. Jackie enrolled in the Delay and Pray™ program in complete poverty of heart and soul - empty and willing to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
She was a Catholic who had been away from the Church for about 25 years. She was 25 pounds overweight and started looking for answers. Not only did she lose 25 pounds, but when she started the Delay and Pray™ program, she was praying for 28 different miracles, and 26 have happened so far.
She was determined to raise her sails so that God could blow His grace upon them and give her just the transformation that she needed.
You can experience this transformation, too - the weight loss AND the miracles. You are invited to join the waitlist for the next Delay and Pray™ cohort, which opens for enrollment in a few short days.

In this final episode of 2023, Beth discusses weight loss and financial abundance.
Have you considered your thoughts, feelings, and actions about money? Are they anything like your thoughts, feelings, and actions about your weight?
Beth shares the thoughts she used to have about money and her guest, Joann shares a few thoughts she used to have about fasting. These thoughts didn't serve them. It's time to figure out exactly what we desire and how to achieve the results.
Beth shows us that it is possible to find these pesky thoughts and shift them in our favor. Being thin and making money is easy.
Joann Gillis is Beth's new Podcast Manager, who went through the Delay and Pray™ program before joining her team. She talks about how she discerns, invests her treasure, and trusts in God to provide when He calls her to something. You won't want to miss this insightful conversation.
