Becoming the Gift: What Changed When I Lived in the Present — Part 2 with Catherine Pelicano | Episode 81
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part Two of our conversation, Catherine Pelicano shares what shifted after she began living with openness, receptivity, and courage. From learning to process her emotions with Jesus to discovering freedom in dating, Catherine reflects on the practical fruit of the TIS journey.
“You cannot make a gift of yourself if you don’t first possess yourself.”
She talks candidly about the lies women often believe — that we’re “too much,” that singleness makes us less, or that joy has to wait for marriage — and how she learned to replace them with truth. Catherine also opens up about what it means to stop emasculating men and start creating space for the masculine in dating.
“Freedom comes when I stop clenching my fists around what I don’t have and open them to what God is already doing.”
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to live whole, hopeful, and free in the in-between, Catherine’s story offers both honesty and hope. Her journey reminds us that transformation doesn’t come from fixing ourselves, but from becoming more present, more open, and more fully alive to God’s work right now.
