I didn't think I could do an episode this week, but then I felt moved to share something with you. So I pushed through, and I'm glad I did! In this episode I give you a reality check about your fears. We also talk about:

-- the weekly update about how cancer treatments are going

-- why Catholics are no longer leaders in the arts

-- why extreme low self esteem can look like narcissism

The quote from Marion Fernandez Cueto, told to her by a priest, is: "The Catholic Church is clear about what constitutes sin: Every failure to love. But the positive, the Church leaves wide open. God wants us to be free to use all our intelligence and our gifts to follow where he's calling us. The Church should be the place of the greatest possible experience of true freedom."

A lot of fears have been keeping me up at night. Here's what I'm trying to do to stay sane. I also discuss:

-- the surprising move that derailed my kettlebell workouts

-- how my crazy wild toddler turned out

-- my other daughter tracking down our oncologist

-- stupid influencer advice

Two priests visited us at our St. Jude housing, and it was exactly what we needed! I also talk about the weird and surprising way that I have been working out, and the revolutionary "grease the groove" idea behind it. Also there's rap beef news!

There was no episode last week because I was having a meltdown, but I'm back! I'm talking about how much it has helped me to insist on feeling lucky -- and why I say "lucky" instead of "blessed." We also talk about:

-- my husband's St. Jude visit

-- approaching your life with the wrong rhythm

-- why I thought I had chemo poisoning (I'm insane)

I have been away from home for a full month due to our current crisis. It's not easy. I share updates about how we're doing, as well as:

-- my new thoughts on how to catch big medical issues early (without being a hypochondriac)

-- a big problem that my absence caused at home

-- the phrase that saves my sanity when I am too overstimulated to be a good wife, mom, or human being

It really brought the haters out of the woodwork when I used to say that women shouldn't put their lives on hold for motherhood. Now that this crisis has tested everything, I'm reflecting on how that philosophy stood up.

Also, I share:

-- Shia LaBeouf's iconic interview after his Mardi Gras arrest.

-- The TV show I picked to watch with Lane that was the worse choice ever.

I was lying awake in the hospital, having an existential crisis. I was thinking about what I wish I'd done differently years ago. And the answer I came up with is something you might need to hear. I also discuss:

-- going into "beast mode"

-- how to find God when everything's falling apart

-- the book He Leadeth Me by Fr. Walter Ciszek
