89. Here’s What I Wish All Moms Knew with Lisa Canning

Welcome to our rather tongue and cheek series, Just a mom...we all know NO mom is JUST a mom.  We want to celebrate mommas AND their stories...the seemingly ordinary. Because beautiful things come of sharing our journeys, our struggles, AND our triumphs with each other!

Today we have a special guest who is near and dear to my heart, she is a devout Catholic, devoted wife, soon-to-be momma of 10, author, creator of an entire library of courses for mommas like us, and coach and mentor to Catholic businesswomen (specifically mommas like me!) all over the world! 

Mommas, today we have Lisa Canning!

• Where You Can Find Lisa Canning (48:00)
• Takeaways (49:00)

You can find Lisa at lisacanning.ca—where she has two coaching communities; the first—Wealth Without Guilt—is for business owners, and the second—Motherhood Without Guilt—is for General Life Coaching for Catholic Moms.  Lisa can also be found on Instagram @lisacanning (this is the most real-time/real-life place you can find her).

Takeaways (49:00)

1. Even when we’re at our lowest, the Lord sustains us.
2. We have an opportunity for intimacy with the Lord in our darkest challenges.
3. We have to fill our brain with evidence of how the Lord has shown up and how he continues to do so, because mommas, He is!
4. “Perfection consists in doing the will of God, not in understanding his designs.” -Jean Pierre de Caussade.
5. Grace builds upon nature.
6. Even in the most challenging situations there are things we can control.
7. It’s not easy to choose to be kind to future you instead of present you, but you will always, always be glad you did.
8. We get to now dictate what “safety,” what “peace,” what “comfort” looks like, and it doesn’t have to be what we inherited.
9. A holistic approach combining the mental, spiritual, and physical is SO necessary…and it’s not as “woo” as you might think!
