Sometimes God’s “no” feels like a door slamming in your face until you realize it was actually His protection. In today’s episode I share my second birth story, including an undiagnosed placenta accreta, a hemorrhage, a trip to the OR for a D&C, and the surprising way being in the hospital (instead of a birth center) likely saved my life. I also talk about how this impacts our family’s future and exactly how we’re handling postpartum NFP with the Marquette Method (plus PDG confirmation).
What’s inside:
- The long start–stop labor and my water breaking at midnight
- Pain tools that helped (birth comb, counter pressure, tub)
- Baby’s delivery… and when everything changed in the 3rd stage
- OR, D&C, and what undiagnosed placenta accreta actually means
- Endometriosis + septate uterus and why that matters
- Hospital vs. naturopathic tension and why I land in the messy middle
- Our postpartum NFP plan: Marquette + PDG confirmation (and why strict = merciful)
The big takeaway: when God’s “no” protects your life (or your soul)

What happens when your in-laws become a source of tension instead of support?
In this week’s episode of The Catholic Woman Podcast, host Marie Hanson sits down with Miriam Susan, a Catholic convert and mother of six, to talk about one of the hardest and most overlooked struggles in Catholic marriage, toxic in-laws and unhealthy family dynamics.
They dive deep into what the proper order of a Catholic family really looks like: God first, then your spouse, your children, and finally extended family. Together, they unpack how that order helps restore peace, clarity, and unity when outside influences threaten your marriage.
You’ll hear Miriam’s personal experience navigating in-law relationships as a Catholic wife and mother, including what she learned about setting healthy boundaries, overcoming guilt, and relying on prayer and grace to protect her marriage.
Topics in this episode include:
The true order of a Catholic family (God → Spouse → Children → Others)
How toxic in-laws can undermine your marriage and faith life
What “honor your parents” really means in Catholic teaching
Practical ways to set boundaries in a faith-filled, respectful way
How to pray through conflict and strengthen your marriage spiritually
Understanding manipulation, guilt, and the cycle of control
Why protecting your marriage is not selfish, it’s holy
If you’ve ever felt torn between honoring your parents and staying loyal to your spouse, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and a Christ-centered roadmap to peace.
Tune in for practical Catholic marriage advice, deep spiritual insight, and real conversations about family order, prayer, and faith in marriage.

Raising kids in the Catholic faith can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode of The Catholic Woman Podcast, I’m joined by Maeve Jemison to talk about practical, joyful, and easy ways Catholic women can foster faith and connection in the home. From sitting in the front pew at Mass, reading the Sunday readings in the car, and celebrating saint feast days, to weaving apologetics into everyday conversations with teens, Maeve shares simple Catholic family traditions that help children love their faith.
We also dive into Catholic homeschooling, what it really looks like, why it doesn’t take eight hours a day, and how Catholic moms can balance homeschooling with work and family life. Maeve explains how to nurture children’s God-given passions, create a strong Catholic family culture, and build a foundation of truth in a world full of confusion. Whether you’re a Catholic mom of toddlers, teens, or somewhere in between, this conversation will encourage you, inspire you, and remind you that you don’t need perfection—you just need to start.

Pregnancy, labor, and delivery can be daunting to both first time moms and veteran ones. Today we sat down and chatted about our experiences with pregnancy and birth. We discuss what we liked, what we didn’t, and what we would have done differently. We also touch on physical pain, birth trauma, and mental health; something that leaves no mother untouched.
