Are you tired of living in a small story? This was the title of the keynote Karen Doyle gave at last week's Sisterhood National Catholic Women's Conference, in Sydney.  In the keynote she spoke about the fact we have far more power over our lives than we realise and we are called to co-create our lives with the Lord. One of the beautiful gifts and the thing that sets us apart from the other creatures that  God created is our capacity for reason and understanding. We have the ability to think about our thinking and bring those thoughts under the Lordship of Christ.  But this is not always easy! How many times have you vowed to change but you find yourself falling back into the same negative patterns?  In this episode Karen takes you through five practical steps and tools you can use to actively participate in your own transformation and be renewed by the transformation of your mind.

As the world marks international women's day we are given the opportunity to reflect on the unique gifts and mission of womanhood. In a world that pits women against one another in a spirit of competition and comparison women who are filled with a sprit of the Gospel have so much to offer. In this conversation Rachel Wong and Karen Doyle discuss what constitutes our essential richness as women and how we bring those gifts forth in a way that is abundant and life giving.

In this weeks episode of The Genius Podcast host Karen Doyle is joined by the Catholic Fasting Coach, Beth Bubik. Beth helps Catholics learn how to spiritually and physically fast to lose weight permanently while exploding their prayer lives and helping others closest to their hearts. Spiritually fasting off food and alcohol for a time is key to living out the dreams that God has drawn upon your heart. How does this work? When we learn to take full responsibility for our emotions and feel them instead of eating. It is in this space that we can develop the skill of delayed gratification and fasting with Heaven as our ultimate goal. These are some of the things we discuss in this weeks episode of The Genius Podcast.
