    Bible verse for the summer declutter series: Ephesians 5:14-17

    Join me this summer to declutter your home while praying the rosary. It’s not just any rosary, it’s a motivational rosary to walk you through decluttering the designated area of your home for the week.

    Here’s how it works:

    Grab your trash bag and a donation bag, pop on this week’s podcast episode and get to work! Each week we will focus on one area of your home. It will probably not be enough time to declutter the entire area, so I encourage you to replay that episode every day that week to keep the progress going. Each Wednesday will be a new podcast episode and a new focus area.

    You won’t even need a rosary, just listen and pray along! However, if you are curious about the rosary or would like to learn how to pray it on your own time, here is a great resource for learning.

    Grab a friend and hold each other accountable. You can also join the private Pruning To Prosper Facebook group and find a buddy here:

  • 287. The Rosary. The Ultimate Long Game.
    Jun 11 2025

    Today we finish up our rosary series that began with Episode 260.

    In this series, I've tried to show you how any mystery of the rosary can be applicable to your life's struggle. Whether you are drowning in debt, clutter or health issues or anything else that is weighing heavily on you, know that you can turn to the rosary for guidance and comfort.

    In today's episode, we reach the final mystery. The fifth Glorious Mystery. The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth. Mary knew that saying yes to God was not going to be easy but she played the long game. She kept her eye on the mission; Raise her son and bring all of us to Him. She did it!

    You've been given your own unique mission here on earth. If something is standing in the way, declutter it now! You've got a mission to accomplish and there's no time to waste. What can you do today to begin to clear the clutter of your life so you are free to do the will of God?

    For in-person decluttering in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, please email me at: tightshipmama@gmail.com to schedule.

    Summer is for my kids and camping so my 1:1 calendar is not available at this time. However, if you REALLY want a plan of action to tackle clutter this summer, just email me (tightshipmama@gmail.com) and let's see if we can work together via zoom.

    May God Bless you, Gina

  • 286. How To Have A Happy Death
    Jun 4 2025

    How can we ensure a happy death?

    We have been working our way through all the mysteries of the rosary from the Joyful Mysteries all the way through to the Glorious Mysteries. Today, we have reached the 4th Glorious Mystery. The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The fruit of this mystery is a happy death.

    In today's podcast episode I give you 5 things you can do to ensure a happy death. All we have to do is look to the rosary which is the life and death of Jesus and the life and death of our Blessed Mother. When we pray the rosary and meditate on the mysteries, we are learning how to live so that we may die happy and reunite with our Lord and Savior at the heavenly banquet.

    If you live in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania and would to work with me in-person to declutter your home, please email me at: tightshipmama@gmail.com

  • 284. Is Clutter Preventing You From Using Your Charism?
    Apr 16 2025

    Opening Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11

    A charism is a gift from the Holy Spirit given for the common good or for the service of others.

    3 Signs of your Charism:

    1. An unmistakable inner peace, energy and joy when using the gifts.

    2. Unusually effective and successful results in what you're trying to accomplish.

    3. Other people's direct or indirect recognition of the gift's presence.

    This is the self-directed course I plan to take to learn more about my own charism: Catherine of Siena Institute

    If you live in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania and would like help decluttering your home, I offer in-person decluttering. This is a 5 hour appointment and I donate all items to local thrift stores. Cost $300. Please email me at: tightshipmama@gmail.com

  • 283. How To Pay for College with CFP and Author, Ann Garcia
    Apr 9 2025

    Ann Garcia has helped thousands of families save millions of dollars on college. She is a fee-only financial planner and the author of the critically-acclaimed "How to Pay for College" and a sought-after media guest who's been quoted in the New York Times, the Oregonian, and U.S. News and World Report, to name a few. Ann recently launched an interactive online course to help parents (and their advisors) affordably build saving for college and applying for aid into their broader financial plan. As a parent whose twins just graduated debt-free from their top-choice colleges, Ann's expertise expands beyond FAFSAs and 529s — she understands the emotional components of helping your child set and achieve goals for their future. Outside of financial planning, Ann is an avid runner, skier and fan of middle school rock concerts.

    Ann has graciously offered the Pruning to Prosper audience a 10% off coupon code PRUNING to save on her course, The College Financial Plan.
