In this episode, Zoe shares her experience of disliking dating because she wanted to have the dating experience not feel like it had such high stakes. TIS played a huge role in this process. You're in for a fun conversation!

In this episode, Mariana shares her transformative journey through TIS (The Intentional Single) — exploring how coaching, community, and intentional relationship-building helped her embrace true femininity, deepen her engagement relationship, and find peace amid uncertainty. She opens up about overcoming control struggles, navigating anxiety, and leaning into vulnerability with trusted friends and family. Mariana also highlights the power of small daily shifts, like speaking affirmations and embracing femininity, to build trust and intimacy.

In this special episode of Thriving in the Space Between, Meghan sits down with the radiant and wise Hannah—a nurse practitioner, former grad student, and longtime member of TIS. Hannah's story is one of subtle, sacred transformation. She joined TIS in the middle of grad school, unsure if she could “add one more thing”—but she followed a quiet nudge. And it changed everything.In this episode, we explore:

What if you've done all the “right things” but still feel off? In this episode, Sierra shares how joining TIS gave her the space she didn't know she needed — a place to slow down, feel deeply, and finally bring her head and heart together.The thing is, Sierra thought investing in herself was selfish.She was used to giving everything away—to her students, her church, her school. But underneath the serving was exhaustion, resentment, and deep loneliness.TIS gave her the tools to say no with confidence. To stop performing. To rest. To trust herself. And to finally feel seen—in community, in coaching, and in her relationship with God.“This work seeped into every part of my life,” she shares. “I'm not the same woman I was two years ago.”Sierra walks us through the unseen ache so many high-achieving women carry — and what it meant for her to slow down, let go of control, and allow herself to feel again. In this episode:What made Sierra say “yes” to TIS after following for monthsWhy emotional processing was a game-changerHow shifting from performing to presence brought healingThe power of group coaching and spiritual sisterhoodA new way to approach growth: with curiosity, not shameThe deep healing that happens when you're finally safe enough to feelStraight fire from Sierra “Saying no to good things allowed me to say yes to the right things.”“I didn't even know how to rest. I was just stuck in go-mode.”“I was volunteering for everything because I was clinging to spiritual motherhood—and I was lonely.”“There was so much shame in not hitting milestones alongside my friends. Coaching helped me name it and move through it.”“I used to think, ‘I'm just invisible.' But that was a lie I carried alone for too long.”“I thought I'd invest in this and get nothing out of it. Instead, it changed everything.”“For the first time, I didn't just survive another wedding. I celebrated—and I felt free.”When she joined TIS, she didn't expect much.“This is probably another course that won't help me,” she thought. But something inside whispered: try anyway.What happened next surprised her.“I didn't know how badly I needed to be seen until I was actually seen.”“It wasn't about becoming someone else. It was about coming home to who I already was.”This is the kind of transformation we've seen over and over again inside TIS. We'd love to hold space for you, too.Early bird doors open May 29 with $200 off through June 7. Doors close to TIS June 12.

We've got a special guest on the podcast this week— the lovely Gwen, a member of The Intentional Single who joined our 6-month journey after following us from afar.When Gwen first heard about TIS, she was skeptical. Raised in a devout Catholic family and surrounded by 6 sisters, she already had access to wisdom and support. “I just thought, ‘I know this stuff. Is this really going to work for me?'” But something still felt stuck. So she listened to the podcast. Again. And again.What she found in TIS wasn't a formula. It wasn't a five-step dating plan. It was integration. “I had all the head knowledge. But I didn't know how to live it.”Through coaching, Gwen learned how to process her emotions instead of moralizing or suppressing them. She stopped agonizing over every decision and began moving forward with hope. “I used to spend two years wondering about one guy. This year, I've gone on 20+ dates—without spiraling.”For Gwen, the transformation didn't come from more information. It came from slowing down, finding safety in community, and allowing coaching to help her reconnect with her God-given wisdom.“I used to think coaching was about someone telling me what to think. Now I see it's about being seen—and challenged—to think with God.”Now, Gwen is not just thriving in her vocation as a teacher—but flourishing in her faith, friendships, and her relationship with herself.“This isn't just about dating. It's about not moralizing every moment and choosing to live in freedom.”Gwen's story is a reminder that your healing doesn't have to be heavy—and that saying yes to growth might be the bravest thing you do.“Even as someone who's deeply emotional, I didn't realize how much more there was to learn. TIS took me deeper than any therapy or book ever did.”“Signing up for TIS was a big deal. I was prideful. I thought I already knew everything. But this? This changed how I live.”If you've been thinking about joining us inside TIS, this episode is for you.

In this powerful  episode of Thriving in the Space Between, Meghan sits down with four beautiful TIS gals—Abby, Annie, Danielle, and Courtney—who met inside TIS and have been journeying together for nearly two years.They were placed in a small group… but what unfolded went far beyond a scheduled call.Tears. Laughter. Cross-country trips. Hope trails (yes, literal ones). Hard conversations. And holy, holy friendship.They talk candidly about:What it's like to be truly seen and receivedHow growth feels less scary when it's sharedThe gift of spiritual sisterhood in singlenessWhy they never stopped meeting—long after the program ended“You don't have to explain yourself to people who've forgotten the ache. This group just gets it.”  – Courtney“These women are the sisters I always dreamed of.” – Danielle“I don't have to have my life together to be loved. These women have shown me that.” – Annie"Before TIS, I had never had the honor of sitting with someone in all the crap. And it's more beautiful than fixing it—just being able to sit with them in it." -AbbyThis conversation might be exactly what your heart has been waiting for._____________________You're invited to 2 FREE Workshops coming up this June 5 & 10!!!

Often during a date or after a date it's easy to get miles ahead mentally and emotionally asking oneself questions such as hmm would I want this guy's mom to be my other in law? Would I want to move to the City he lives in?

Join Meghan and Maria as they invite you to consider some helpful and healthy questions that can help you know which direction to go!Learn more about The Intentional Single: https://www.theintentionalsingle.com/Sign up for Wednesday Wellness & Wisdom newsletter: https://theintentionalsingle.myflodesk.com/g8l7qmqflu Stay in the know on all things TIS: https://theintentionalsingle.myflodesk.com/ikl0gcfj3n Reach out to Maria & Meghan for coaching here.

Why TIS? While there's formation for highschoolers, college students, engaged couples, and married folks in our beautiful Church, where's a gal who's single and dating supposed to go? This is one of the many reasons why TIS was born. To both see and accompany you lovely ladies in a place where you so often feel misunderstood, neglected, and overlooked. Looking at the whole person - emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally - we equip our gals in TIS Membership with the skills and tools to live an integrated life. All the articles, youtube videos, conferences, podcasts, and talks won't bring you healing if you stay in self-awareness. Without bringing that head knowledge into action (self-responsibility) with someone who can accompany you, you'll stay stuck. TIS Membership is a six month program for single and dating catholic women 20's-40's to learn the skill sets, tools, and mindsets to thrive in their single and dating years. Want to learn more about this opportunity? We're hosting a FREE Live Event on Tuesday, May 14, @7pm CT/8pm ET.  "What you weren't taught about attachment, men, intimacy, and your cycle and how it impacts your dating" Register for the FREE Event on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 here. Learn more about The Intentional Single: https://www.theintentionalsingle.com/Sign up for Wednesday Wellness & Wisdom newsletter: https://theintentionalsingle.myflodesk.com/g8l7qmqflu Stay in the know on all things TIS: https://theintentionalsingle.myflodesk.com/ikl0gcfj3n Reach out to Maria & Meghan for coaching here.
