Lent for Perfectionist Catholic Moms

Catholic Mom Calm

Lent can feel especially heavy if you're a perfectionist Catholic mom. If you tend to measure your love for God by how well you perform — how well you pray, fast, or "do Lent" — this season can quietly increase anxiety instead of peace. In this video, I talk about: * why Lent often feels harder for perfectionist Catholic moms * how perfectionism is usually rooted in a wound, not holiness * why God is not asking you to "perform better" this Lent * how Lent is meant to lead you into trust, not self-criticism Lent isn't about proving you're a good Catholic. It's about letting go of what you cling to for safety — and discovering that God is enough. If you've ever wondered: * "Am I doing Lent right?" * "Why do I feel worse instead of closer to God?" * "Why is this season so heavy for me?" 💜 – Sterling
