In this episode, I share the deeply personal story of how preparing for my daughter's wedding led me to discover OM²AD—One Meal and One Mass a Day. What began as a physical goal quickly became a spiritual transformation that brought greater peace, mental clarity, energy, and a renewed relationship with Christ. Join me as I explain how I combined intermittent fasting, daily Mass, prayer, exercise, and a simple routine to simplify my life during one of the busiest seasons I've ever experienced. I'll also share what I learned about OMAD, why I recommend it only a few days each week for post-menopausal women, and how God used this journey to remind me that choosing Christ before sugar changes everything.
