30 OCT 2024 · In this episode, Kathryn discusses artificial intelligence and how it can lead to artificially inflated thinking. Despite its pros and cons, AI cannot replace human connection or the connection to the Divine in our lives.
Silence is crucial for us. Do you find sitting in silence difficult? Do you feel anxious when you try sitting in silence? Kathryn offers a helpful tip we can practice if we struggle with silence.
As children of God, we have a right to a calm state of being. We have a role to play in helping our brothers and sisters exist in a peaceful state of being too.
23 OCT 2024 · Kathryn begins by sharing a story about teaching prisoners positive self-regard: "You are a good person created to do good things. You will make mistakes and there are reasons to explain them." We are encouraged to seek an explanation for ourselves and understand why we make certain mistakes.
Kathryn prompts us to reflect on the Scripture passage, "The Lord takes delight in his people" (Psalm 149:4). The fact that we may be in a bad spot in life or feel stuck, doesn’t change God's positive regard for us. Kathryn covers how we can project our human thinking onto God, especially our experience of our human father. She talks about various human thoughts that we may place on God, "God only loves me when... etc."
The truth is that God loves us infinitely and has ultimate positive regard for us, in whatever circumstances we find ourselves. Christ looks at our true essence, and is always drawing us forward into our potential.

16 OCT 2024 · In this episode, Kathryn discusses love and compassion for ourselves and others, and how the Good Thief, a convicted felon who comforted Christ on the cross, serves as an example to us all.
In our own relationships, we sometimes fall back from the decision to love another person. With relationships between parents and children, love can flow easily. With relationships between married couples, siblings, etc., often how we love is a decision that we must make. Kathryn prompts us to contemplate: "How am I going to love those around me?"
To become aware of how we are loving others and to take responsibility for what we are conveying, we must become thoughtful. This will also help us to learn how God loves us and how we need to love ourselves. Reflecting on our lives, especially during times when we didn’t look our best, is crucial to the development of self-awareness and compassion.
During a time where you didn’t look your best, has someone whom you least expected been there for you? That’s what the Good Thief did for Christ. We are often in a position to help another person in situations where nobody else can support them.
9 OCT 2024 · In today’s podcast, Kathryn focuses on human connections. She helps us to ask important questions: Are we sacrificing our human connections to ‘current events’ conversations? What do we want from our connections? Are we prioritizing our human exchanges?
Kathryn encourages us to wonder about our essence and ask ourselves: Am I connected to who I am? Do I look my best self in my current relationships? Am I able to connect to the good things about me?
Lastly, we reflect on the culture of manufactured drama, often leading to dualistic thinking. Is the current culture creating conditions where people are not living from their own identities?
2 OCT 2024 · In this episode, Kathryn Anne talks about what makes us truly strong. She discusses how perfection isn't out there for us, and that God founded his Church on St. Peter despite his imperfection. Like St. John the apostle, we don't have to be perfect to follow Christ, but we do have to show up and with God’s help, stay.
25 SEP 2024 · In this fourth episode, Kathryn Anne reflects on the question, “Who is God?” Kathryn Anne shares her own story, as well as the stories of others, and concludes that we all encounter God differently.
Our question to answer is, “Where do I see God in my day?” We are shown that other people’s understanding of God doesn’t have to dictate our relationship with God. Kathryn Anne examines the paradox of remaining detached from certain aspects of life, and at the same time connected to the more important elements. When it comes to our unique and unrepeatable relationship with God, our goal is not to conform, but to transform.
18 SEP 2024 · In this third episode, Kathryn Anne opens with three principle questions for each of us to ask and answer. These questions lead us to wonder about the intersection point between our life and our spirituality.
Kathryn Anne discusses the neuroscience behind our primary drive in life — to love and be loved, with a focus on romantic relationships. Finally, we are invited to embark on a journey of self-awareness; identifying when we offer a persona rather than our true selves to the people in our lives.
12 SEP 2024 · In this episode, Kathryn Anne explains to us how our conscience is a safe space between you and God, where no one gets to judge you. Kathryn Anne emphasizes that in your conscience, you are called to be an independent and critical thinker. She shares a story about confession involving conscience and the importance of thinking for yourself and contemplating how God views you.
