In this episode of Faithfully Healed, we tenderly confront the exhausting cycle of striving and spinning, and offer a Christ-centered invitation to healing through sacred structure. Latisha Sternod, licensed clinical counselor and Catholic coach, shares how true transformation doesn’t come from more hustle, but from holy rhythm.

Through Scripture, somatic wisdom, and the lived experience of women who have walked this path, we explore how containment, clarity, and consistency form the foundation of real healing.

If you've ever thought, “I just need more discipline,” this episode gently uncovers a deeper truth: You don’t need more willpower, you need divine order.

This conversation is both a balm and a blueprint for every woman who is tired of trying harder and ready to be held in holy peace.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why spinning isn’t a willpower problem—it’s a containment problem
  
• How Carmelite spirituality and the liturgical calendar offer practical structure
  
• The power of sacred order in daily life (from phone rules to adoration time)
  
• Proverbs 21:5 and what it reveals about divine discipline
  
• A 3-step framework for healing: Clarity, Containment, Consistent Action
  
• The truth in love: how emotional clarity honors our dignity (Ephesians 4:15)
  
• Real client journeys of shifting from chaos to calm
  
• How God is not a God of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33)
  
• Teresa of Ávila’s reminder that healing begins “among the pots and pans”
  

Anchor Quote:
“You don’t need to hustle more—you need holy structure.”

Reflection:
What if peace isn’t found by pushing harder, but by pausing deeper? What if the healing you crave isn’t outside you—but waiting in the sacred rhythms of your ordinary life?
