Timmerie is all in on our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV... and not just because he’s the first American Pope (though whoa, how cool is that?!). This episode of Trending with Timmerie feels like a heart-to-heart over coffee and YouTube reels, as she unpacks Pope Leo’s first homily and what it means for you and me. Here’s what you need to know A Pope Who Gets It Timmerie kicks off by sharing her joy, and honestly, her giddiness about Pope Leo. Her four-year-old is already obsessed (“He’s so cute!”), and it’s contagious. Timmerie talks about the homily from his inauguration Mass and what it reveals about his vision as our spiritual papa. Pope Leo’s Big Theme: Holiness Through Sacrificial Love Pope Leo is setting the tone: he’s calling us to holiness... not by climbing a ladder of success or checking off boxes, but by sacrificial love. That’s the kind of love Christ modeled, and it's the love Peter was called into. Guess what?! You and I are called into it too. Love + Unity = The Mission Quoting St. Augustine, Pope Leo reminds us that our hearts are restless until they rest in God. We were made for Divine Love. That restlessness we feel is a hunger for the sacrificial, unshakable love of Christ. Pope Leo connects this to Peter's calling: to be a fisher of men, pulling souls from “the waters of evil and death.” This is a battle cry. Pope Leo wants to rescue souls (our souls) by anchoring us in God’s unshakable love. St. Peter's Call Is Our Call The homily goes into that famous post-Resurrection moment when Jesus asks Peter three times: “Do you love me?” Here’s the twist: -Jesus uses the Greek word for sacrificial love. -Peter responds with the Greek word for friendly love. It's awkward... but deeply human. Jesus is inviting Peter into deeper love, total self-giving love. Eventually, Peter gets it. He dies upside-down on a cross because he felt unworthy to die like Christ. That’s love. That’s leadership. The Church’s Call: Not Just “Nice,” but Holy Pope Leo quotes St. Augustine again to say the Church isn’t just a group of people who “get along.” It’s people who are radically united in loving their neighbor sacrificially: no fluff, no half-measures. So, Pope Leo’s message is to stop playing Church. Let’s be the Church. Takeaway from Timmerie: Pray for Pope Leo. Read his homilies. And most of all, join him in this mission. The path to holiness isn’t glamorous, but it’s epic. And now we’ve got a Holy Father who’s not just talking the talk; he’s walking with us every step. So… ready to be a fisher of souls with the Pope?

Timmerie sits down with Katy Faust, the fierce, truth-telling founder of Them Before Us, to talk about something that should be obvious but somehow isn’t anymore: why kids need their mom and their dad. The Truth Your 4-Year-Old Already Gets Timmerie kicks things off with a conversation she had with her 4-year-old daughter, who declared (with all the sass and certainty only a preschooler can muster): t’s not true. They’re lying. Kids need a mommy and a daddy.” Out of the mouths of babes. In a world where everything is questioned (including whether moms and dads are interchangeable), this little girl sees reality clearly... and so does Katy Faust. The Cultural Crisis: When Kids Are the Casualties Katy explains how our culture has flipped the script. Instead of asking what children need, we now ask what adults want and then use kids to fulfill it. She explains why this is a major problem: Kids Have a Right to Their Mom and Dad Not just “a” mom or “a” dad... their biological parents. They’re the ones wired to love and protect that child in a uniquely fierce, sacrificial way. Adoption, Katy says (as an adoptive mom herself), is a loving response to tragedy, not a model for how we should design families from the start. Biological Identity = Personal Identity Children deeply need to know: "Whose am I?" When kids are cut off from their origins: via IVF, surrogacy, anonymous sperm donors, it fractures their sense of self. Gender Balance Isn't Optional. It’s Essential. Men father. Women mother. They do it differently. That’s a gift, not a glitch.Two dads, two moms, or three poly-partners can't replicate the complementarity of a mom and a dad. And when we pretend otherwise, kids pay the price... often through confusion, identity struggles, or even increased risk of abuse. Where the Battle’s Fiercest Katy doesn’t mince words. The two biggest cultural flashpoints where kids are denied a mom and dad: -Gay marriage made moms and dads legally optional. -Reproductive technologies intentionally separate kids from their biological parents in the name of adult “choice.” Real love puts kids first. Love = Sacrifice As Catholics, we believe children are a gift, not a right. And that means saying a loving no to practices that intentionally deprive them of their parents, even if it’s uncomfortable or unpopular. Want more? Check out Katy's book, "Them Before Us". It’s a total eye-opener, and it's a call to put children’s rights before adult desires. Kids need a mom and dad. And guess what? Even your preschooler knows it.

Timmerie just rocked this episode of Trending with a commentary on St. Peter’s wild rollercoaster of a spiritual journey: from face-palming mistakes to fearless faith. She kicks it off reminding us why the whole world, Catholic or not, keeps one eye on the Catholic Church: because God’s authority in His Church is undeniable, magnetic, and kind of a big deal. And with all eyes often on Rome, especially during a papal election, she turns ours to... Peter, the first Pope. He wasn’t born a saint. He struggled, and it’s the best news ever for us. Peter the Passionate (a.k.a. The Guy Who Told Jesus He Was Wrong... Oops) -Timmerie says that Peter was dramatic. Like, theatrical. -He told Jesus, “God forbid, you won’t suffer and die!” -Jesus responds: “Get behind me, Satan.” Yeah… not great. Here’s the key: Peter failed hard, but he kept coming back. Even after denying Jesus three times, he didn’t stay stuck in shame. He ran back to Christ... and so should we. “Here I Am, Lord…” (Even When I Mess Up) Timmerie reminds us: every time we sin, we deny Christ, just like Peter. What sets saints apart is what they do after they mess up. Peter models radical repentance, and that's a masterclass in holiness. Tip from Timmerie: Run to confession. RUN.

As we mourn the loss of our Holy Father, it's also inspiring to reminisce back on when Pope Francis was first elected. If you've ever wondered what it was like to be in Rome during that historic moment, Timmerie will share her personal encounter and help you live vicariously through her! You can hear Timmerie's full hour of reflections about Pope Francis and what happens when a pope dies here. Timmerie arrived in Rome on March 19th, 2013, literally hours after Pope Francis’ papal inauguration on the Solemnity of St. Joseph! The air was electric with what she called an “after-party energy,” a lingering buzz of joy and hope among the crowds. All over the streets: chants of "Papa Francesco! Papa Francesco!" The Popemobile Shocker Let’s set the scene: for decades, the popemobile was this sealed-off, bulletproof bubble of security. But Pope Francis rolled out in an open-window Popemobile and then stepped out of it! Swiss Guards = panicked. Crowd = ecstatic. Timmerie made her way to the front of the barrier, reaching out as far as she could. She didn’t manage to touch him, but it wasn't for lack of trying. A Moment of Radical Mercy Right next to her stood a young man in a wheelchair. Pope Francis had him lifted up over the crowd to be kissed and blessed. This was a direct rejection of the "culture of waste" the Pope often decried. Timmerie captured that moment on her old-school 2013 iPhone. The photos spread like wildfire, showing the world a pope who would bend the rules to raise up the lowly. She saw it firsthand... the beginning of a new papal tone: intimacy, mercy, and fierce love for the forgotten. A Shepherd Among the Sheep She wraps her story remembering those early months when we’d hear how Pope Francis would sneak out at night to minister to the poor, something unthinkable with previous popes. But that was Pope Francis: a Latin American shepherd sent by the Spirit, literally stepping off his throne to be with his flock. Timmerie was there for the birth of a new chapter in Church history. And she leaves us with a reminder to pray for the soul of Pope Francis, this bold, compassionate man chosen to lead us.

Timmerie talks about a viral rant from influencer Paige Connell: a mom, wife, and full-time working woman who aired out her frustrations online. And yep, she admits that she thought about divorce. Over what, you ask? The dishwasher. The trash. And kids' backpacks. But hang tight, because this conversation is about way more than chores. Check out the whole episode! The Mental Load Is Real… But Let’s Unpack It Paige’s viral video blew up because so many women felt it: the overwhelm, the exhaustion, the invisible to-do list that’s constantly running in your head like a browser with 27 open tabs. She shared how, despite having a good husband (like, objectively... a helpful, kind, involved dad), she still felt unseen and completely burned out. She became the project manager of her home, and it crushed her. One day she snapped: “I can’t do it all!” Honestly, she’s not wrong to feel the weight. But... Timmerie & Devin Schadt's Take Timmerie brings in Devin Schadt, founder of Fathers of St. Joseph, to give the Catholic hot take. Marriage Isn’t About “Equity”. It’s About Sacrifice Modern feminism says: everything needs to be 50/50. Equal chore charts. Equal mental load. Equal everything. Catholic teaching says: umm, nope. Marriage isn’t math... it’s a mission. Sometimes one gives 20%, the other gives 80%. It’s messy, but it’s sacred. And equity doesn't work when people have different capacities, seasons, or actual roles. The Perceived Problem vs. Reality Paige’s husband was helping. But he wasn’t anticipating or planning the way she did, so she felt disrespected. Devin points out: she didn’t want just help. She wanted him to read her mind, project-manage the house, and know what she needed without being told. That’s not partnership... it’s pressure. The Social Media Landscape Devin doesn’t mince words: blasting your spouse online is a total fail. Paige basically emasculated her husband in front of millions. She turned a cry for help into a public shaming moment... and that’s not love. That’s venting turned viral. Real respect is saying, "I believe in you. I know you can do this.” That’s what lifts men up and actually inspires them to step up more. And Now, the Deeper Stuff… We're in a culture that worships comfort and runs from sacrifice. People bail on marriage when it gets hard, thinking they can find someone better. Catholic marriage is unitive, procreative, and redemptive. It’s designed to purify us from selfishness and lead us to heaven. Devin says this: “The pain of loving someone sacrificially… is the pain of selfishness leaving the soul.” Final Thoughts from Timmerie & Devin: Ladies, your worth is not in your ability to do it all. Men, you’re called to serve heroically, not just “help out.” Marriage isn’t about keeping score... it’s about laying your life down. Kids are not just a task to be accomplished. They’re eternal souls we’re forming. They need us, not just our productivity. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stretched too thin in marriage or parenting. It’s a wake-up call to stop chasing Pinterest-perfect balance and start living out the messy, beautiful, sacrificial love that Christ modeled. So… what’s your take? Ever felt the “mental load”? Do you think marriage should be “equal,” or something better? Share this with a friend who’s drowning in laundry and wondering if they're the only one.

Timmerie addresses a show that you might want to steer clear of: Netflix’s new series Adolescence, which explores the crisis of boys today. It’s based on a story of a 13-year-old boy, Jamie, who murders a classmate after being rejected. Yes, that’s the plot, and the show tries to explore why he did it: including his deep hurt from bullying, the isolation of modern boys, and impurity. Some of the content, while important to talk about, may not be appropriate for sensitive ears. Timmerie’s big takeaway is that this show is part of the problem, not the solution. We’ve become so desensitized to disturbing content that we keep craving something more shocking. But what’s really chilling is that the show nails one thing: Boys are very much hurting. Badly. And the culture is not making it any better. The Crisis of Boys: Jamie’s character reveals a lot about the struggles young boys face today: isolation, lack of real relationships, confusion over identity, and being glued to screens. Pornography comes up in the third episode, and it’s clear it has wrecked his ability to form healthy relationships or even see himself properly. What’s Making This Worse: -The "Incel" culture: radicalized online communities of isolated men. -A society where boys are constantly told they’re “toxic” just for being themselves. -A school system that’s not built for them (sit still, be quiet, don’t move... yeah, no). -Being over-medicated and told their natural energy is a “problem.” What Parents Can Do (According to Timmerie): -Tech Lockdown: Cut down on screen time. Seriously. Let kids be bored, climb trees, get dirty, and create stories with their imagination. -Real Interaction: Kids need real FaceTime: like playing outside, talking with adults, hanging out with friends... not just scrolling through TikTok. -Empathy and Faith: The number one thing that keeps kids away from porn is developing empathy. Guess what builds empathy? Faith and good moral values. -More Time with Parents: Kids can't just get the leftover part of your time. They need the real deal, every single day. And yes, that’s exhausting, but it matters. -Parent Watchfulness: You have to be there to notice the little things. A lot of the damage happens when kids are left alone with screens. Timmerie raves about the work of Erica Komisar: particularly her books about raising resilient children by being there for them. No shortcuts. No outsourcing. Just being present. The Faith Angle: Timmerie explains why sending your children to Catholic school and going to Mass on Sundays is just the bare minimum. It’s about living the faith daily, praying with your kids, and building a strong foundation of grace and virtue. The popularity of this Netflix show is just another warning sign. We’re addicted to the messed-up stuff because we’ve let it seep into our culture. The solution? Get your kids off screens, outside, and surrounded by loving, intentional parenting.

Life can be stressful, and maybe you feel like you're at the end of your rope. Now is the time to lean on help from the Holy Spirit! Timmerie shared some solid wisdom about the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, specifically Peace and Patience, and she talked about why these two are basically must-haves if you want to keep your sanity and grow in holiness. Timmere's Take on Peace: -What It Is: Peace is way more than just stress relief. It's this deep sense of security in God. -Fr. Robert Spitzer's Definition: He describes it as feeling truly “at home,” which makes sense because, in God, we’re back where we belong. -The Problem: Our culture is all about being out of kilter: identity crises, constant distractions, and relationships that are out of whack. No wonder we’re restless! -The Solution: Peace comes from trusting God and growing closer to Him. Prayer, the sacraments, staying in a state of grace... all those basics matter. Timmerie reminds you that this peace is a gift of the Holy Spirit, so don’t be shy about straight-up asking God for it. Patience -The Dangerous Gift: Ever pray for patience and suddenly everyone’s cutting you off in traffic and every store line is like a mile long? Yep, God answers by giving you opportunities to practice patience. -What It Actually Is: Patience is about not losing your cool when life feels unfair or people are being difficult to deal with. It’s mercy and compassion for both others and yourself. -St. Thomas Aquinas’ Wisdom: True patience isn’t just surviving annoyances; it’s staying unbothered by them. It’s like building resilience against suffering and not letting it mess up your commitment to virtue. -Freedom in Patience: Timmerie points out that patience makes us free because it helps us stay grounded in doing what’s right, even when life feels like one big dumpster fire. -Connection to Charity: Patience and love go together. The more you love God and others, the easier it is to be patient. Takeaway Tips: -Pray for these gifts: they’re from the Holy Spirit... not a DIY project. -Lean into the sacraments and keep your prayer life strong. -Keep perspective: What we see as evil or annoying might just be an opportunity to grow. -Love first; patience will follow. Now, go forth and practice being peaceful and patient; just, you know, try not to lose it if your coffee order’s wrong today.

Timmerie explores what actually brings women joy, and it’s NOT what modern feminism is selling. The Big Lie: “Empowerment” Through Motherhood Rejection International Women’s Day rolls around, and social media is flooded with the same old messaging: women are "empowered" by abortion, contraception, surrogacy, and even daycare. Timmerie argues that these aren’t liberating at all; in fact, the greatest injustice against women is the "destruction and exploitation of motherhood." Psychotherapist Erica Komisar (who’s not even Catholic, mind you) has been putting out research that proves what we already know deep down: kids need their moms, especially in their early years. Yet, this truth is wildly unpopular in the corporate-driven culture. Wait… Women Are Happier Doing “Domestic” Things? If social media trends are any indicator, women are rediscovering joy in the very things that used to be considered "burdens": knitting, homemaking, cooking, homesteading. There’s a deep craving for a return to home and family life, even if the world still tries to make it seem regressive. Science Agrees: Moms at Home Are Happier (Even If It’s Hard) Studies from the Institute for Family Studies and other sources show that stay-at-home moms experience higher life satisfaction and rarely regret their decision, even though being home is demanding. Sure, secular studies try to spin it like being at home is isolating, but what they leave out is that these same women report deep fulfillment. Motherhood is tough, but it’s also full of meaning. Timmerie, a mom of (almost) three, totally gets it. The stress is real (toddlers are relentless), but the reward is deeper than any job title. God doesn’t promise easy, but He does promise abundance. That abundance is often tied to embracing the maternal call, whether it’s biological or spiritual motherhood. So… What’s the Secret to Women’s Happiness? Living in line with God’s design. Motherhood, whether physical, spiritual, or vocational, is at the core of a woman’s identity. Even women in STEM or corporate roles thrive most when they can nurture others in some way. That’s why we see more women gravitating toward careers like teaching, nursing, and caregiving. It’s built into their very souls. As St. Edith Stein put it, “A woman’s soul is fashioned as a place in which other souls unfold.” The culture tells women that happiness comes from career success, independence, and rejecting traditional roles. The actual data: more importantly, women’s lived experiences, say otherwise. True joy comes from embracing who women were made to be. Bottom line: Ladies, your deepest fulfillment isn’t in fighting against your nature; it’s in embracing it. What do you think... Do you see this shift happening around you?

Okay, y’all, Lent is here! Timmerie shares some super practical ways to grow this season. Whether you're a sleep-deprived mom, a married couple looking for spiritual connection, or just someone trying to figure out what to give up (besides chocolate for the 12th year in a row), she’s got you covered. Mom Life: Surviving (and Thriving) Spiritually with Toddlers Busy mom? No problem. Timmerie gets it: tiny humans demand everything, but that doesn’t mean Lent is a lost cause. She suggests: -Wake up before your kids (even if it’s painful) to pray. It sets the tone for the day. -Start your day on your knees. Even if it’s just a quick “Jesus, help me,” it models prayer for your kids. -Use bedtime struggles for prayer time. Stuck snuggling a kid who won’t sleep? Offer it up and pray for them instead of doom-scrolling. (Bonus: Less frustration when bedtime takes forever.) Married Couples: Level Up Your Prayer Game If you’re not praying together, Lent is the perfect time to start. Timmerie’s top picks: -Pray the Rosary together. Simple, powerful, and brings grace. Night prayer! Do an Examination of Conscience together and end the day in peace. Read “Discernment of Spirits in Marriage” by Fr. Timothy Gallagher. Highly recommended for deepening your spiritual connection. (Imagine finishing Lent actually feeling closer to your spouse.) What to Give Up or Do for a Meaningful Lent? The winning formula from Timmerie: "Pray. Give up sin. Go to confession." -Figure out your biggest struggle and attack it head-on. -Replace sin with virtue. Struggle with gossip? Work on speaking words of encouragement. -Beg God for the grace to actually change. (Because, let’s be honest, white knuckling it alone never works.) (Confession isn’t just a suggestion... it’s a game-changer.) Finding a Spiritual Director (Without Losing Your Mind) Looking for an Ignatian spiritual director? Timmerie recommends: -Books by Fr. Timothy Gallagher: Start there! -Checking out the Divine Mercy University on the East Coast, where lay people are trained in spiritual direction. -Being open to the reality that not all priests are trained (or available) for spiritual direction. It’s okay to seek guidance from a trained layperson. (Basically, don’t get discouraged if your parish priest is too busy... other great options exist!) How Do You Know What to Do This Lent? Grow where you’re planted. -Whether you’re single, married, struggling, thriving, lonely, or overwhelmed: God has placed you here for a reason. -Ask yourself: What does holiness look like in my current season of life? -Lent isn’t about changing your circumstances; it’s about letting God change YOU within your circumstances. Bottom Line: Lent is about growing in holiness, right where you are. Whether it’s carving out prayer time, deepening your marriage, fighting sin, or just staying faithful in the small stuff, God has major graces waiting for you. So… what’s your game plan this Lent? Let’s go! (P.S. Share this with a friend who always forgets it’s Friday and accidentally eats a cheeseburger.)

In this episode of Trending with Timmerie, she investigates the Gen Z love affair with labels; no, we're not talking about fashion brands. Timmerie points out that Gen Z is super into self-labeling, including with mental health and personality traits. You’ll hear: - “I have ADHD.” - “I’m OCD.” - “I’m an introvert, dyslexic, and BPD.” But why the label craze? Because Gen Z is on a relentless search for identity. They crave belonging and meaning in a world where traditional anchors (like faith, family, and community) feel shaky. Labels become their badges of honor but also shields, a way to explain their struggles and find their place. Timmerie isn’t here to shame anyone; she gets that these are real wounds and real challenges. But she makes a bold claim: Labels shouldn’t define us. God does. She reminds you that your deepest identity isn’t found in personality tests, diagnoses, or even life circumstances: it’s found in being made in the image of God. When we know that... we’re not trapped by labels; we’re freed from them. Takeaway: Gen Z isn’t broken; they’re searching. The answer isn’t another label: it’s love, purpose, and identity rooted in Christ. How can you influence someone you know in this generation to reclaim their God-given identity today?
