Maybe it started small.
A comment here, a boundary crossed there.
But now?
Now you dread family gatherings.
You feel anxious when your phone rings.
You're exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy while slowly losing yourself in the process.
You're not imagining it. And you're definitely not overreacting.
If you're a Catholic wife dealing with in-laws who:
Treat you like you're not good enough for their son
Undermine your parenting decisions
Make you feel guilty for wanting basic respect
Act sweet when your husband is around but turn cold when he's not
Make you question if YOU'RE the problem
...then you know exactly what I'm talking about.
The worst part?
Your husband doesn't fully see it.
He loves you, but when it comes to his parents, it's like he turns back into their little boy each time there's a visit or phone call.
You feel alone, misunderstood, and trapped between honoring his family and protecting your own sanity.
You've been taught that being a good Catholic wife means being patient, forgiving, and putting family first.
And those ARE beautiful virtues.
But somewhere along the way, you started believing that meant being a doormat.
Setting boundaries isn't selfish. It's biblical.
Even Jesus had boundaries.
He withdrew when He needed to.
He said no when necessary.
And He protected those He loved from harmful people and situations.
The problem isn't that you need to be more patient or more understanding.
The problem is that you've never been taught how to love your in-laws AND protect your family at the same time.
"No one can see how damaging families like this really are. Thank you for putting this message out there with a Catholic perspective... I know in my heart I'm doing the right thing but it makes me feel like I'm tearing a family apart when really I'm trying to save my marriage and family!"

✨ Feel confident and peaceful when dealing with your in-laws
✨ Know exactly what to say when they cross a line
✨ Help your husband see the situation clearly without making him choose sides
✨ Protect your children from unhealthy family dynamics
✨ Sleep peacefully knowing you're doing what God calls you to do as a wife and mother
This isn't just a dream.
It's exactly what happens when you learn to set boundaries in a charitable way that aligns with your Catholic faith.
This isn't about cutting people off or being mean.
It's about learning to love well, which sometimes means saying no to behaviors that hurt your family.
Steps 1-3: Understanding & Clarity
We start by helping you understand what healthy boundaries actually look like, identify toxic patterns, and recognize the difference between loving someone and enabling them.
Steps 4-6: Building & Implementing
You'll learn how to honor your parents while putting your marriage first (yes, this is Biblical!), start setting boundaries with confidence, and navigate family dynamics like a pro.
Steps 7-9: Maintaining & Thriving
We'll prepare you for what happens after you set boundaries, including how to support your husband through this process and find peace no matter what your in-laws choose to do.
Each step includes:
Clear, actionable resources (67 total...and counting!)
Catholic-based guidance that honors your faith
Real scripts for difficult conversations
Prayer guides and affirmations
Practical tools you can use immediately
Let's be honest: you're already overwhelmed.
The last thing you need is another commitment that requires finding childcare, blocking out hours in your schedule, or learning a new platform.
That's why this coaching works completely different.
Instead of scheduled calls that never seem to happen at convenient times, you get support exactly when you need it most.

"Honestly, my biggest breakthrough has been in the pressure I tend to place on myself in wanting to honor my parents, but this content helps me resist efforts by my parents to shoehorn themselves more into my family's life than is good for any of us, especially my husband, who has been the victim of their judgement... My primary vocation is wife, teammate with my husband in this pilgrimage of life towards heaven. Second are the children. Everything and Everyone else are third. Period."

✓ No scheduled calls - Get support whenever you need it, not when it's convenient for everyone else
✓ No childcare needed - Respond when the kids are napping, after bedtime, or whenever you have a quiet moment
✓ No rearranging work - Flexible access during breaks, lunch or whenever YOU have time
✓ No new technology - Everything happens in a private Facebook group (just you and me - no other members) you can access from your phone
✓ Real-time support - Post a question in the morning, get guidance by afternoon
✓ Multiple touch-points per week - When your in-laws are visiting or you've got a family event coming up, get support as often as you need it
✓ Written OR video replies - Share your situation through text or video, and I'll respond in whatever format works best
✓ Response reviews - Before you send that email or text to your in-laws, share it in the group and get feedback to make sure it's clear, charitable, and won't escalate the situation
✓ Respects your schedule - I don't work on Sundays to honor the Sabbath, but will respond within 4-6 hours for true emergency situations (immediate safety concerns, legal urgencies, or crisis escalations)
This means you can get coaching support during those moments when you actually need it most - not just during a pre-scheduled hour when everything might be calm.
Hi! I'm Miriam Susan, a Catholic convert, wife and mother of 6, who understands firsthand the challenges of navigating difficult in-law relationships while staying true to my faith. After 3 decades of in-laws drama, I've dedicated myself to helping other Catholic wives find the peace and confidence God wants for their families.
Through my podcast and now through personal coaching, I've helped hundreds of women realize that setting boundaries isn't selfish—it's Catholic. I believe every Catholic wife deserves to feel empowered in her own home while honoring her marriage and faith.

Within the first month: You'll finally understand why you've been feeling so stressed and have a clear plan for moving forward.
After 3 months: You'll be confidently setting boundaries and feeling more peaceful in your daily life.
After 6 months: Your husband will start to see the patterns you've been talking about, and you'll both be working together to protect your family.*
After 12 months: You'll be the empowered, confident wife and mother God calls you to be - no longer needing constant support because you'll have the tools to handle anything that comes your way.
*Of course, I cannot promise that you OR your husband will change at all during our time together. Most husbands, however, if they're open to change and want to work together towards peace, will begin to see things as they are after 6 months. Sometimes, an outside perspective helps husbands see that their wives aren't fighting against their parents, but seeking a peaceful and healthy relationship with his family.
You've tried being patient.
You've tried being understanding.
You've tried pretending everything is fine.
It's time to try something that actually works.
The Empowered Catholic Wife's Framework isn't about forcing your husband or your in-laws to change (because you can't control them anyway).
It's about changing how you respond so you can protect your peace, your marriage, and your family.
If this program isn't the right fit for you within the first 7 days, simply let me know and I'll refund your investment completely.
Important Note: This is coaching, not counseling or therapy. I am not a licensed counselor or therapist. If you're dealing with mental health concerns that extend beyond coaching (such as depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, or other clinical issues), you'll need to seek support from a licensed mental health professional. This coaching focuses on practical boundary-setting and faith-based guidance for navigating difficult family relationships.
This is exactly why our approach is marriage-focused. We help you set boundaries in a way that brings you closer together, not drives you apart. Most husbands become supportive once they understand what's really happening.
Absolutely. The Catholic Church teaches us to honor our parents, but it also teaches us to protect our families from harm. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is refuse to enable sinful behavior.
The beauty of ongoing coaching is that we can address your specific situation in real-time. No matter how complex your family dynamics, we'll find a solution that works for you.
The framework is designed to work with your busy life. You can go through the resources at your own pace, and getting support in our Facebook group takes just a few minutes whenever you need it.
Perfect! No-contact is a last resort that only some women need. Most of our clients find peace and can begin healing through boundaries long before that becomes necessary.
I am so sorry that things have gotten to this point with your in-laws. As someone who has walked the heartbreaking path of going no-contact, I understand how much thought, prayer and tears have gone into this. I have several resources specifically for helping you draft a letter asking for no contact and can walk with you if you need to seek legal counsel during our time together. It's a road that most people do not understand, but it's one our family has been down since 2019. Because our children were feeling threatened by the actions of my husband's parents, we now have legal protection against all contact from them. We were backed into a corner and had no other options but to hire attorneys to help protect our children. We NEVER imagined we would be where we are now, but felt God's presence every step of the way. We're all now in a place where we can heal and experience peace...something we never had while still in contact with my in-laws.
"Opting for peace does not mean a passive acquiescence to evil or compromise of principle. It demands an active struggle against hatred, oppression and disunity, but not by using methods of violence. Building peace requires creative and courageous action."
Pope St. John Paul II
