#21 | Herbs & Healing: A Catholic Approach with Herbalist Colleen

The Discerning Mother

In this episode, Brigid sits down with Catholic Herbalist Colleen to talk about the sacredness of the body, the healing power of God’s creation, and why using herbs doesn’t make you a hippie heretic. This isn’t your typical wellness chat. You’ll hear real talk on: What Catholic herbalism is (and what it’s not) What apoptogenic reallyyy means Why ignoring the body is often the root of burnout, anxiety, and hormone havoc The difference between true healing vs symptom suppression How to approach natural remedies without falling into New Age fluff What it means to dwell in your body again with God at the center Sprinkled with laughter, truth bombs, and a few nerdy plant references, this episode invites you to reimagine healing not as a trend, but as a return to God's original design.

About Podcast

Welcome to The Discerning Mother, the podcast where building a thriving business and becoming a whole woman are not two different goals. Most wellness podcasts will tell you to regulate your nervous system. Most business podcasts will tell you to try another strategy.


This one will tell you why those won't work.


This is where faith, health, and business strategy collide.


Each week we talk about:



  • How your nervous system is either building your business or quietly sabotaging it

  • Why rewiring your nervous system and identity unlocks what regulation never could

  • Real strategy for scaling without burning the woman behind the brand

  • What Catholic/Christian theology has to say about money, ambition, and becoming

  • How to have more without doing more

  • Doing it all while being a present, joyful, peaceful mother & 6 or 7 figure business owner


This is not hustle culture with a rosary or prayers on top. This is the real work; the kind that changes what you are capable of in your business, your body, your marriage, and your motherhood (& by default, the world! Right, St. Mother Teresa?!).


Whether you are listening as you prep for a client call or folding laundry, it's time for you to dive in!
