Have you ever felt like disappointment keeps you stuck? Whether it’s with fasting, your goals, or your prayer life, disappointment can feel like sliding down a chute in the game of Chutes and Ladders—frustrating and discouraging.

In this episode, I share how to discipline disappointment so it doesn’t derail your progress.

I introduce the beautiful devotion of St. Michael’s Lent, a 40-day season of prayer and fasting observed by St. Francis of Assisi from the Feast of the Assumption to the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel.

St. Michael’s Lent, combined with the imagery of chutes and ladders, offers hope and perspective for our fasting journeys. Even when we stumble, God provides ladders of grace to help us climb again, with the ultimate goal of reaching heaven.

Is your fasting routine easily derailed by travel, holidays, or unexpected changes? This week, I am sharing the secret to staying consistent in any season: spiritual cognitive flexibility.

This simple but powerful mindset - openness to the Holy Spirit and the rejection of all-or-nothing thinking - can help you remain faithful to your fasting and prayer commitments no matter what life throws at you.

You’ll also hear a real coaching conversation with a client preparing for a pilgrimage, as I help her replace worry with trust that God will provide.

This episode will shift your perspective and show you how to stay consistent with the Holy Spirit every single day.

Why does spiritual fasting feel easy for some and incredibly difficult for others?

In this episode, Beth interviews Catholic author and storyteller Rosemary McGuire Berry to explore how your God-given temperament can shape your journey toward holiness—and how understanding it can transform your approach to fasting, prayer, and virtue.

Drawing from Rosemary’s new book, Piety and Personality: The Temperaments of the Saints, they discuss how saints like St. Paul and St. Thomas Aquinas lived out their vocations in alignment with their unique personalities.

Whether you're choleric, melancholic, sanguine, phlegmatic—or have no idea what any of that means—this episode will give you new tools for both spiritual insight and practical growth.
