Send us Fan MailN°172 - SHE SAID YES! The Proposal, Wedding Planning & Preparing for Marriage Kateri is ENGAGED!!! 💍🥹We’re sharing all the details of the proposal, from how it happened to whether Kateri had any idea it was coming, and everything in between!But beyond the excitement of getting engaged, this new chapter has sparked a much deeper conversation about what this season is really meant to be.It’s so easy to get caught up in the wedding planning, the endless decisions, and the pressure to make everything perfect that we can lose sight of what we’re actually preparing for. Because at the heart of it all, engagement isn’t just about planning a beautiful wedding. It’s about preparing two souls to enter into the sacrament of marriage.And while this season is filled with so much joy and anticipation, it’s also a season of growth, refinement, and learning to surrender. The challenges that arise along the way can become opportunities to strengthen our relationships, grow in virtue, and deepen our dependence on Christ.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel & follow us on Instagram!

Send us Fan MailN°171 — Let Your Life Preach the GospelAs Christians, we’re called to share the Gospel, but evangelization goes so much further than the words we speak. It’s in the way we treat people, the patience we show when things don’t go our way, the grace we extend to others, and the way we choose to love even when it’s difficult. Every encounter is an opportunity to reflect Christ, whether we realize it or not.But how can we expect others to see Christ in us if we’re not actively seeking Him ourselves?The truth is, our spiritual lives affect so much more than just us. The more we prioritize our relationship with God, invite Him into the ordinary moments of our days, and allow Him to work on our hearts, the more our lives begin to reflect His love. And when we neglect that relationship, it becomes so much easier to fall back into our own selfishness, impatience, and sinful habits.We’re certainly not perfect, and we’ll never pretend to be. But we do have a responsibility to continually work toward becoming more like Christ, not only for the sake of our own souls, but for the souls of those around us.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel & follow us on Instagram!

Send us Fan MailN°170 - The Vanity Problem in the Wellness IndustryThe wellness industry has a vanity problem, and we think it's time we talked about it. Somewhere along the way, taking care of our bodies became less about our health and more about how we look, how others perceive us, and how much validation we receive from the world. Social media has only fueled this obsession with outward appearance, creating a culture of comparison, insecurity, and constantly chasing a version of ourselves that we think will finally be good enough.And we're not pointing fingers here. We've fallen into this trap ourselves. In this episode, we're having a really honest conversation about our own experiences with vanity in the wellness world and how growing closer to Christ has completely changed our hearts and the reasons behind why we do what we do. There's a huge difference between taking care of our bodies to glorify ourselves and taking care of our bodies to glorify God. Wanting to look good isn't the problem, but when our appearance begins to determine our worth, happiness, and peace, we've lost sight of what really matters.Taking care of the bodies God has given us is such a beautiful responsibility, but our wellness should never become an idol. Our hope is that this conversation challenges you to look a little deeper at the why behind your wellness and reminds you that your worth was never meant to be found in a mirror, a number on a scale, or the approval of others. It's found in Christ. Support the showDon't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel & follow us on Instagram!

Send us Fan MailN°169 - What Happens When Your Passion Becomes Your Paycheck: Fitness Instructor EditionIt’s my (Kateri) first solo episode! With Isabelle away this week, I’m taking the mic to talk about being a fitness instructor and what happens when something you love becomes something you do for a living.Fitness has been such a big part of my life, and getting to share that with other people is something I’m so grateful for. But when you’re creating workouts and leading classes all week, your own relationship with fitness can start to look a little different. You can love your job and still have to figure out how to make it work for you, too.In this episode, I’m sharing more of that side of teaching...the things I didn’t necessarily think about before it became my career and the balance I’m still learning to find. There’s so much I love about this work, especially the people I get to see every week, and I wanted to have an honest conversation about all of it. Whether you’re an instructor, thinking about becoming one, or making a career out of something you love, I hope you find a little of yourself in this conversation.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel & follow us on Instagram!

Send us Fan MailN°168 — Let’s Talk Relationships: Forgiveness, Resentment & AccountabilityIt’s easy to point the finger at someone else - to focus on what they did wrong, how they hurt us, or why we’re justified in feeling the way we do. But how often do we stop and ask where we could have been better?This episode started as a conversation about taking accountability in our relationships and turned into a much bigger conversation about forgiveness, resentment, pride, and what our relationships start to look like when Christ is actually at the center of them. We talk about why “just cut them off” isn’t always the answer, how easy it is to hold onto hurt, and the importance of being humble enough to recognize where we might be wrong too.Because when Christ is at the center, it changes the way we love people. We learn to forgive instead of resent, apologize instead of always defend ourselves, put our pride aside, and extend the same grace to others that we’ve been given ourselves. None of us are going to get relationships right all the time—but there’s so much growth that can happen when we’re willing to look inward too.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel & follow us on Instagram!

Send us Fan MailN°167 — What It Really Means to Lose Your Life for Christ“Whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” — Matthew 16:25We’ve heard this verse so many times, but lately we’ve been asking ourselves: what does it actually mean to lose your life for Christ?Because for us, it hasn’t looked like one huge sacrifice. It’s looked like the Lord slowly asking us to let go of the things we want to hold onto—the way we want to live, the things we find our identity in, our comfort, our plans, our pride, and even things we genuinely enjoy.In this episode, we’re sharing what that has actually looked like in our own lives, the places where obedience has been hard, and what we’re learning about choosing Him even when our flesh wants something else.And maybe that’s the part of this verse we never fully understood before: every time we thought the Lord was asking us to lose something, He was actually leading us into more.More freedom. More peace. More of who He created us to be. And most importantly, more of Him.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel & follow us on Instagram!
