Episode 100
What does it actually mean to raise “successful” kids—and does success have anything to do with money?
In this milestone 100th episode, Maeve and Matt walk through a popular Rich Habits Test for Parents, answering 40 questions with total transparency (no pretending, no parenting flexing). From screen time and food habits to gratitude, grit, and goal-setting, they score themselves honestly—and invite you to do the same.
But here’s the twist: at the end of the test, they ask the question that matters most to Catholic homeschool families:
What actually helps children remain Catholic into adulthood?
Drawing on research, lived experience, and faith, they share 7 key practices—from sacramental life and family rituals to role-modeling integrity and serving others—that form the foundation of a lasting Catholic identity.
This episode is funny, convicting, practical, and deeply encouraging—perfect for Advent reflection and anyone who wants to raise not just successful kids, but saints
