Are you a young mom navigating the challenges of an unplanned pregnancy, often feeling alone and misunderstood? Are you tired of being judged by others and hearing the same surprised, condescending remarks? Do you long for reliable support as you juggle caring for your family, holding down a job, and striving to build a brighter future?
I’m so excited you’re here! In this podcast, you’ll discover that you’re not alone. You’ll find the connections you’ve been searching for, gain valuable insights and resources, and take steps toward creating a life you and your family will love.
Hi, I am Cathy Jo Lang, and I am excited to welcome you to “The Unplanned Joyful Life” podcast. I’m a Certified Professional Life Coach, Registered Nurse and former Younger Mom.
After growing up in a traumatic household, experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, and battling severe postpartum depression, I yearned to be a mother who could provide love and stability for my family. My greatest desire was to care for my baby and navigate the roles of mom and wife in a way that would make my family proud.
It wasn’t until I embraced my Catholic Christian faith and came to terms with feelings of guilt and shame that I began to find inner peace and a renewed sense of hope. I realized this was the key to maintaining my mental health. Balancing motherhood, marriage, and pursuing a college degree—all while deepening my relationship with Christ—became my mission.
Along the way, I learned countless valuable lessons, and I’m excited to share them with you here.
In this podcast, I’ll provide valuable insights to help you become the best mom, wife, and version of yourself. You’ll hear “tried-and-true” tips and tricks for creating a well-managed, God-centered home. I’ll share real-life examples of how to incorporate regular self-care, Christian values, and community involvement to bring confidence, stability, and joy to your family.
Whether you want to work to foster a healthy relationship with your spouse, establish a happy bedtime routine for your child, or pursue a college degree, I’ll be here to support you every step of the way. You’ll also hear from young moms and wives like you, as well as experts offering insights tailored to your journey.
Together, we’ll share knowledge, experiences, and practical advice to help you navigate “The Unplanned Joyful Life” with happiness and purpose!
So, get your kiddo in for a nap, find a quiet spot, and listen in. Let’s do this together.

# 116 The Magnificent Vocation of Motherhood: Meet Suzanne Bilodeau Wife, Momma of 6, Podcast Host and Author
Inside today's episode of The Unplanned Joyful Life Podcast, Cathy Jo will meet and talk with Suzanne Bilodeau. She is a Wife, Momma of 6, Podcast Host and Author.
An Academic and Professional Overachiever who encountered Christ in the early stages of motherhood. After being brought to her knees due to her inability to do this incredible work alone, she chose to surrender to God's will over her life. And, she's been on a mission to tell the world about Jesus and the magnificent vocation of motherhood.
Inspired by the story of Martha and Mary in the Bible, she created her podcast, Latte and Laundry.
Finally, after feeling the need for support from other more experienced mothers in her life, she began to compile stories rom others who were a few steps ahead of her in the journey. They shared personal stories about their experiences as mothers in reference to 1 Corinthians. And, the book was published in the spring of this year, 2025. It is titled, "She Loved", Resting in the Beauty of Motherhood.
Suzanne is smart, kind, reflective and honest. And, I feel hopeful for new and young mamas who listen to her show!
