77 | Is This Me or Is It God? 3 Ways to Know You're Hearing God's Voice

Have you ever wondered, "Is this God...or is it just me?" Have you prayed for direction but still felt unsure? As a busy Catholic mom, are you longing for clarity about God's plan for your life? One of the biggest questions I hear from Catholic women is how to know whether they're hearing God's voice or simply their own thoughts. If you've ever struggled with discernment or questioned whether you're following God's will, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing how I began recognizing God's voice through prayer, Scripture, and discernment so you can grow in confidence as you seek God's plan for your life. My prayer is that you'll leave feeling encouraged to spend more time with God's Word, deepen your Catholic devotion, and take your next step with greater peace and trust in God. In this episode, I'm sharing how I discern whether I'm hearing God's voice so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and peace. I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!
