Short, Practical Texts to Help You Live a More Present Life.

An ongoing text program for Catholic women who want to stop living scattered and start living intentionally in their everyday lives.

ONLY $5/MONTH (seriously!)

Anjelica L.

"It’s been a beautiful and realistic way to keep my faith present in the middle of ordinary life.

I joined this program during a time in my life that I felt like I was drowning. A special needs mom struggling with a deep sense of isolation and little hope. These simple texts have been such a gift. Just a few times a week, they offer small, attainable ways to keep daily life centered on Christ. They remind me so much of the “little way” - that holiness doesn’t have to come from grand gestures, but from small acts done with love."

Allison C.

"Although simple, these thrice weekly texts have allowed me to use my phone for good and to see God in the everyday moments.

As someone who has spent a lot of time on their phone in ways that are not necessarily holy, I was intrigued by this method of using texts to encourage women to grow in their faith and be present. I encourage all women to be a part of this if they want to transform their lives for the better!"

"I've been surprised by how simple the challenges are, but how much they shift the way I move through my day.

I've really loved these challenges because they help keep my faith present in the middle of everyday life. As a busy mom, it's easy to fill every quiet moment with noise or distractions, and I didn't realize how much I was doing that.

One challenge that really stuck with me was sitting in silence instead of automatically turning on a podcast or music. It was harder than I expected, but also really beautiful. It helped me become more aware of God in the ordinary moments of my day."

texts actually work!

Here are just a few sample texts of what you'll get!

it's only $5/MONTH. yes, really!

We are less present than EVER before.

We know it. We feel it. But most of us don't know what to do about it.

"But won't getting more texts just make me more distracted?"

I get it. It sounds counterintuitive.

But picture this: you're 27 minutes deep into a scroll spiral when your phone buzzes. It's a text from me, and just like that, you're snapped back to your actual life.

That's the point.

I can help you take that first step.

if you struggle with....

Reaching for your phone without thinking.

Reacting quickly instead of intentionally.

Finding it hard to stay attentive in prayer or daily life.

This was made EXACTLY for YOU.

Jessie t.

"I look forward to the texts, as I wonder what the next challenge will be.

I have so enjoyed receiving the 3 texts a week from Marie; they are gentle reminders to keep focus on the things that are actually important to me without being critical. She provides very achievable challenges (some more difficult than others!) that are practical and relevant to my everyday life. I struggle with having my phone with me at the dinner table, and this has really given me the nudge I needed to make sure I put it away."

Mary p.

"Marie Hanson’s text challenges offer simple, practical ways to live with God at the center.

This program showed me how to choose little things to sacrifice throughout the day, much in the manner of St. Therese’s “Little Way.” I was surprised how much I needed that lesson, and am very grateful to have this shift in mindset!

This is a practice I can easily apply throughout the year to keep me connected and present both in prayer and for my family."

from allie b:

"Marie's program helped me to see how many areas of distraction we have in our lives. With prompts like not bringing your phone to the table, even face down, it challenged me to be present in the moments of our everyday lives. This program opened my eyes to areas where I could be talking to God or reprioritizing my focus on more important things."

Real talk.

If you’ve tried to be “more intentional” before and it didn’t stick, that doesn’t mean you lack discipline.

It means you relied on willpower. And willpower isn’t a strategy.
Good intentions don’t survive without structure.

That’s why this is small.

A few texts each week. One Sunday reset. Just enough accountability to interrupt autopilot.

This won’t change your life overnight. But it will steadily change how you move through your days.

This year can be different, not because you try harder, but because you're realistic about it.

No daily commitment

Fits into real life

Practical accountability

Rooted in catholic teaching

If you want this to be the year that you finally commit to:

Choosing intentional over automatic.

Spending less time scrolling and more time present.

Becoming less reactive and more rooted.

Praying more consistently without adding pressure.

Feeling supported instead of starting over alone.

Growing in quiet awareness of God’s constant presence.

Let's do this thing.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

QUESTIONS

When do the texts start?

Immediately. You’ll join us in the current monthly focus and start practicing right away.

How often will I receive texts?

You’ll get three texts a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

How long are the messages?

Each text is under 160 characters...short, direct, and easy to read in seconds.

Do I have to reply or participate in a group?

No. There’s no required interaction. You can quietly follow along, or reply anytime. I'll respond if you do.

Is this Catholic?

Yes. It’s rooted in Catholic theology, with occasional Scripture references. That said, any Christian who wants to live more intentionally and attentively would benefit from joining.

What if I miss a day or forget to do a challenge?

That’s expected. The texts meet you where you are. No catching up, no guilt, just return and keep going.

Is this a devotional or course?

No. This is a real-time texting challenge, not a workbook, course, or daily devotional.

JUST $5, that's it!

What if I join mid-month?

No problem! You’ll jump into the current monthly focus and start practicing right away.

What happens during the monthly live Q&A?

Once a month, we meet for 30 minutes. You can ask questions, talk through challenges, or simply listen in. It’s practical, focused, and grounded in real-life application. A replay is available if you can’t attend live.

What’s included in the Sunday reflection email?

Each Sunday, I'll send a short reflection and one journal question to help you process what you’re noticing and grow in awareness, especially in your interior life. This is completely optional, but meant to be an opportunity for more in depth heart work.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. It’s month-to-month, and you can cancel whenever you’d like.

Is this realistic for busy schedules?

Yes. The practices are intentionally small and meant to fit into real life. I’m a work-from-home Catholic mom of littles...I don’t build things that require extra hours you don’t have.

Why is this only $5 per month?

Because this isn’t a course or a large program. It’s simple, consistent practice. The goal is steady growth, not a high barrier to entry.

Don’t let another month pass on autopilot.

Join for $5/month.
