#149 Saying Yes Like the Blessed Mother: Courage, Surrender, and Trust in God's Plan

As we close out the beautiful month of May, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, join me this week, as I reflect on Mary's Fiat—her courageous and wholehearted “yes” to God—and how it continues to inspire Catholic women today.

Through personal stories, scripture, Marian devotion, and insights I unpack the obstacles we face when trying to say yes to God—fear, control, suffering, and doubt—and how, like Mary, we can find the grace to trust even when the path is painful or uncertain.

Whether you're navigating a difficult season, questioning your next steps, or longing to grow deeper in faith, this episode offers gentle encouragement and powerful reminders that:

• Saying yes is not a one-time moment—it’s a daily mindset.

• Surrendering to God isn’t giving up—it’s claiming your victory.

• Even in suffering, God walks with you—and will equip you for the path ahead.
