“Did I miss my calling?” “Is this really God’s will?”
If you’ve ever wrestled with those questions, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Matt sits down with Stacey Sumereau—former Broadway performer, reality TV discerner (“Sisterhood: Becoming Nuns”), host of the Called and Caffeinated podcast, Catholic wife, mom of five, and special needs mother. Stacey shares how God led her from the stage to a deeply hidden life of family, ministry, and Catholic coaching… and how He used disappointment and weakness as the doorway.

You’ll hear about:
• Her transition from Broadway tours (Beauty and the Beast, Wizard of Oz) to
Catholic ministry
• How reality TV discernment opened her to surrender and real relationship
with God
• What a “personal vocation” is (and how it fits under marriage / religious life/
priesthood)
• How to tell when you’re following perfectionism vs. the Holy Spirit
• Being a Catholic mom, special needs parent, and still honoring a real call to
ministry
• Why God speaks through your desires (not just in spite of them)
• How Catholic coaching helped her break out of victim mentality and reclaim
joy
• Practical ways to hold your family, work, and mission in right order without
burnout

Stacey also shares about her new book Adventure Awaits: How to Interpret Your Desires and Hear God’s Voice, and why most Catholics underestimate how much God actually wants to speak into their everyday choices.
