Let’s be honest: Catholic dating can feel… a lot.
The starts and stops, the ghosting, the wondering if you’re the only one still waiting—it’s real.
But there’s still so much hope here.
In this episode, we sit down with Emily Wilson Hussem, beloved author, speaker, and creator of the app Sacred Spark, for a conversation about how God is restoring beauty, healing, and holiness in the dating space.
You’ll hear real stories of tr...
We say we want holy marriages and honest love—but sometimes our fear keeps us from living like it.
In this mini episode, Meghan and Maria invite you to look at where fear, people-pleasing, or “I don’t want to rock the boat” might be holding you back. You’ll walk away reminded that real intimacy can’t exist without honesty—and that courage always leads to deeper freedom.

What happens when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would—and God meets you there anyway?

This is a story about trust in the in-between, healing fro...
You’re praying. You’re trying to stay hopeful. But deep down, you’re wondering, “What if it never happens for me?”
This week, we’re joined by our dear friend Dr. Sarah Denny Lorio — a bioethicist, speaker, and truth-teller — for a heartfelt conversation about the ache of waiting — and how to trust God when it feels like everyone else’s story is moving faster than yours.
Sarah opens up about her own long waiting season, what it taught...
Meghan and Maria get real about a pattern they’ve seen in Catholic circles — conversations that drift toward gossip, negativity, and tearing others down. In this short but powerful episode, they talk about how to shift the tone, speak life, and become women who elevate — in friendship, dating, and beyond.

Let’s be honest: most of us didn’t grow up with clear, honest, or healthy conversations about intimacy. The result? Shame, confusion, and wounds that often follow us into dating, engagement, and marriage.
That’s why we’re so grateful for our guest, Ellen Holloway. Ellen is a Catholic marriage and intimacy educator who helps women deepen connection in their marriages while staying grounded in Church teaching. She’s the creator of cou...
Ever feel like you’re pouring into relationships and not getting much back? Or like asking for what you actually need feels selfish? We’ve been there too—and that’s exactly what we’re diving into today.
In this episode we talk about how practicing the simple skill of asking—and receiving—can be one of the most healing shifts in moving toward secure connection. From the way wounds are formed in relationships to how they are repaired ...
You’ve probably asked the same questions women bring to us all the time: “What if I’m not ready? What if it doesn’t work for me? What if it’s too much?”
Inside this episode, you’ll hear real Q&A from our live workshop, testimonies from women who once felt the very same way, and the surprising shifts that unfolded when they finally said yes.
It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what actually happens in TIS—raw coaching, honest questio...

If you’re feeling shut down, tired, burned out, overwhelmed, or stressed, you are not alone.

In Part Two of our conversation, Catherine Pelicano shares what shifted after she began living with openness, receptivity, and courage. From learning to process her emotions with Jesus to discovering freedom in dating, Catherine reflects on the practical fruit of the TIS journey.
“You cannot make a gift of yourself if you don’t first possess yourself.”
She talks candidly about the lies women often believe — that we’re “too much,” tha...
When life didn’t go according to plan, Catherine Pelicano wrestled with identity, belonging, and purpose. In this heartfelt episode with our dear friend and TIS gal, she shares how leaning into the present moment transformed her relationship with God, her friendships, and even the way she shows up in dating.
“When I stay in the future, I get afraid. But in the present moment, Christ meets me — and suddenly anything is possible.”

Ever feel like you’ve tried it all—novenas, therapy, retreats, dating apps—only to still wonder: what’s wrong with me?
We get it. And we want you to know: nothing is “wrong” with you. What you need isn’t another quick fix. You need space to slow down, breathe, be held, and let God meet you right where you are.
That’s exactly why we created Thriving in the Space Between — a six-month slow-soak helping women move from striving to livin...
Have you ever asked yourself, “What’s wrong with me?”
That was Becca’s question when she first joined our 6 month program, Thriving in the Space Between. Successful in her career, deeply invested in her community, and surrounded by good friends, she still felt stuck and unseen in dating. Every new disappointment left her wondering if she was the problem.
Two years later, Becca describes herself as lighter, freer, and more open than s...
“What if I’m too old? What if I don’t connect with anyone? What if this ache never changes?”
If you’ve ever asked yourself those questions, you’re going to love this conversation with Lizzie, one of our current TIS gals from the UK.
Lizzie is in her late 40s, a single mum, and living proof that it’s never too late for new hope, healing, and transformation.
In her words:
✨ “One of the biggest challenges has been really leaning into...
What if the way you’re showing up in dating (and life) has less to do with what you know in your head—and more to do with how safe and calm your nervous system feels?
In this episode, we share why regulating your body and learning to shift out of fight-or-flight is one of the most overlooked keys to enjoying dating, building real connection, and actually feeling like yourself. You’ll hear what we’ve noticed after coaching hundreds o...
We’ve all heard it: “There are no good men left.” Maybe you’ve even said it yourself after a rough date or another disappointing story. But what if that belief is quietly sabotaging the way you show up in dating?
In this mini episode, Maria unpacks the truth: good men do exist. They’re not perfect, but they’re out there. Cultural expectations have impacted how and what we see when it comes to men. And the real question isn’t just wh...
“Do I really need more?”
That’s what Khylie wondered before joining TIS. Two months in, her answer is a clear yes—but not in the way she expected. Instead of adding more to her plate, TIS has helped her slow down, be honest about where she is, and discover the freedom of being accompanied by women walking a similar journey.
Along the way, she’s realized a powerful truth: "Ironically, when you stop striving to fix everything, tha...
What if in just two months, you could feel lighter, more hopeful, and more present?
That’s been Grace’s experience inside TIS. Once weighed down by restlessness and self-doubt, she’s now savoring simple joys, slowing down enough to notice God’s gifts, and discovering what she calls a “kaleidoscope of hope” in her everyday life: “Gratitude brings a kaleidoscope of hope into our lives. Where there was gray, I’m starting to see color a...
What happens when you stop trying to figure it all out on your own—and let yourself be known in a safe, intentional community?
For Amy, that choice has already shifted so much. Just two months into TIS's 6 month Program she’s gone from “going through the motions” to living more present, grateful, and free. She shares what’s been most healing so far, how somatic practices are helping her slow down, and why community h...
In the hardest seasons, it’s tempting to believe something’s wrong with you—that you’re the only one feeling this ache.
In Part 2, we continue this conversation with our dear friend, Angela Schnieders, we go into those raw messy spaces: practically what to do with the ache, how to actually 'slow down' and how to navigate the challenging 'space between' that is real when you're single and dating.
Angela draws ...
