About this listen

 **TOP 2% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST** The Go-to Podcast for Catholic Moms Who Want Direction to Discern Their Unique Purpose! Ready to stop feeling without a purpose? Do you feel like you are called for something more, but lack clarity on what it is? Are you praying to God, wishing you could hear His voice to guide you? You are not alone and do not have to stay stuck, feel lost without a purpose. Each week on this podcast, you will discover simple, faith-driven strategies to break free from feeling stuck, gain clarity, and take actionable steps toward discerning your unique purpose — all while following God's guidance to become the person He created you to be. I’m Michelle Brannam, a Catholic discernment mentor and spiritual growth coach with a passion for deepening my faith and growing spiritually. For years, I lived the way the secular world told me I should, but I still felt unfulfilled. I found myself lost, stuck, and questioning my purpose. In my search for answers, I turned to the internet, hoping to discover what my true purpose was. I eventually realized that the advice on finding purpose circulating on the internet and social media was missing something essential: God and Catholic teachings. So, I created a plan to help me discover and discern God's unique purpose for my life. It’s a simple, Catholic-based strategy with incremental steps designed to unlock clarity that guided me forward on my journey. Rooted in Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, brain science, and proven methods from the personal development field, all on a foundation of the Catholic faith, this approach has transformed my life. No longer do I feel lost, stuck, or without purpose. Instead, I am confident in my unique calling, as God continues to guide me toward His plans for me. I’m excited to share this journey with you so you too can experience fulfillment, joy, and peace as you discern God's unique purpose for your life. If you’re ready to discover a roadmap that places God and the Catholic faith at the center, with simple, incremental strategies that lead to sustainable results—helping you develop a personal relationship with God, grow spiritually, deepen your Catholic faith, and live in fulfillment, peace, and joy—then this podcast is for you! Grab your pen, journal, and get comfy. Open your heart and mind and invite God in as we get ready to become who God created you to be. Let's do this!

    44 | Silence in a Noisy Season: Practical Ways for Catholic Moms to Hear God: Prepare Him Room
    Dec 9 2025

    Feeling a bit lost in the hustle and bustle of motherhood—especially during the Advent and Christmas season? You’re not alone.

    In week two of our Prepare Him Room mini-series, we’re talking about how to create silence in the middle of a busy, noisy season so you can begin hearing God’s voice.

    As busy Catholic moms, it can feel nearly impossible to carve out time for prayer when kids, work, and responsibilities never stop. In this episode, I share simple, practical ways to quiet the noise, trust in God, and sit with Him in silence—even if you only have a minute. These small, intentional moments lay the foundation for discernment and living out your God-given purpose.

    If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t hear God or felt discouraged in your prayer life, this episode will encourage you and give you one gentle, doable step to start today.

    Grab your pen and notebook—this is a beautiful invitation to slow down, listen, and prepare your heart for Jesus this Advent.


    I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!

    42 | How Gratitude Strengthens Your Trust in God (and Helps You Hear His Guidance)
    Nov 25 2025

    Trusting God can feel like a leap into the unknown—especially for a Catholic mom juggling a thousand things at once.

    In today’s episode, we’re talking about how gratitude can strengthen your trust in God, clear the fog when life feels chaotic, and become a practical tool for your discernment. Even in the middle of laundry piles and sibling chaos, noticing the small blessings can shift your mindset and reconnect you to God’s presence.

    You’ll discover why gratitude matters for spiritual clarity, how it builds real trust (not just warm feelings), and how it anchors you when you’re trying to understand God’s plan. This isn’t fluffy positivity—this is a simple, daily habit that strengthens your faith and helps you walk your purpose with confidence.

    With Thanksgiving here and the holiday season ahead, it’s the perfect time to slow down, refocus, and notice the blessings God is placing right in front of you.

    Grab your notebook and pen—let’s start counting blessings and watching God illuminate the path ahead.


    I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!
