Yes, it is true that many of us reading this still need what looks and feels like 5 wardrobes. It’s extreme…I know. You might even read this headline and think, what a shame! How materialistic! Who does this? Well, just ask any mother if her body has been fit, flabby, newly pregnant, very pregnant or postpartum and then you’ll see the need, even a very simple 5 is 5, no less. Oh, and did I forget that most of us live where we need several different seasons of clothes depending on the climate? Yeah, that too. What does this have to do with you and me Catholic mother? Everything. We think about our flesh too much. We attach a lot of our worth to what we look like too often. We build an identity upon our physique too readily. We thing we’re right and justified, when we’re all too wrong. Because… Our thigh size isn’t our measure of worth. Our cup size says nothing of our impact. Our thrift store clothing doesn’t tell our life’s accomplishments. Thank goodness this all goes deeper than the skin just like the truth. However, working with women for over 10 years has taught me that the flesh matters. It is important, really important, but most often we haven’t correctly sorted the facts from the lies. You can be doing the same exercises from one woman to the next and one will be building virtue while the other is feeding vanity. It’s my express interest to retrain moms on how to properly view their flesh and to leverage it for their sanctity! You may want a flat stomach. Fine. Who doesn’t? Hold it… There are way too many ways to get there incorrectly! You might live in great deprivation through dieting, exercise excessively, get scrupulous with food to the point it become your God, take a drug(s) or even eat “normal” but eliminate that effect with bulimia. Plain to see how WRONG all these modes are to bring down your weight and get that firm flat frontside. On the other hand, if you were to eat what foods work with your system, know when to eat what so you can enjoy control and eat to heal at every meal, exercise at a proper and enjoyable amount and rise to your higher nature as a disciplined person, then you’ll strike gold…and maybe even a broiler plate for a belly. The honest answer is that sport can and should be used as a school of moral excellence, and if that’s not on the top of your mind while working on your body, you may be twisting it out of true context and negating real development of your person. Let your food, your faith and your fitness fuel you to life eternal and let me be your guide. Book a free call with me today to figure out your fuel! What makes you tick and what makes you sick? In sincerity, Rebecca Dussault My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2 HAPPY FEAST OF SAINT JOSEPH!

Holy Spirit, you who makes me see everything and shows me the way to reach my ideal, you who gives me the divine gift to forgive and forget all the wrong that is done to me and you who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything, and affirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. To that end and submitting to God's holy will, I ask from you..(mention your favour). Amen
