Abby Dufrene

Hey y'all! Abby here. My husband, Mark, and I have been married for 5 years and we have 2 kids. After having our second child, I left my job as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist and became a stay-at-home mom. Unexpectedly, I felt so overwhelmed and guilty for not enjoying this season as much as I thought I should. I lacked formation and direction and, inevitably, felt STUCK. I remember praying to God, “There’s got to be more to life than this… Where is the abundance?”

Then I discovered Metanoia Catholic's mindset coaching and everything changed. My husband and I are graduates of the Purgative Way Coach Training, and so excited to be resident coaches now with Metanoia Catholic!

Who do I work with? I have a passion for coaching women who are discerning marriage and with Catholic wives who want to take their marriage to the next level. What a great gift it is to journey 1-on-1 and to grow in community with other Catholics, learning to become who God created us to be and allowing Him to use us to set the world on fire! You may have seen me in the Metanoia Catholic Academy 20-minute coaching calls... Now, I’m excited to be able to offer you this new 1-on-1 coaching opportunity!

Mark Dufrene

Hey everyone, my name is Mark. I’m a Catholic husband and father from south Louisiana. My wife, Abby, and I were married in 2017, and we have two rambunctious little boys - Fulton and John Paul. I have worked in ministry for nearly 20 years and have a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

Early on in our marriage, after the birth of our first son, purchasing a home, & several job changes, questions began racing through my mind: Can I be a good husband and father? Do I have what it takes? Is there more to life than this? I doubted myself and the Lord. I desired a life of abundance and adventure but was unsure if that was even possible.

Through the Lord’s faithfulness, my wife introduced me to Metanoia Catholic’s mindset coaching. I came to realize it wasn’t the circumstances of my life that led me to this feeling of overwhelmed. Rather, it was my own, freely chosen thoughts. I discovered that I actually had the power to change my mindset and, with a renewed mind, could partake in this life of abundance that the Lord invites each one of us into. My wife and I are graduates of Purgative Way Coaching Training and now work with others  as resident coaches here at Metanoia Catholic.

Who do I work with? I have a passion for working with both men and women who desire to renew their minds, move from indecision into the freedom of sound-decision-making, and discover the Lord’s plan for their life. I can’t wait to journey with you! 

Hannah Dustman

Hi friends, it's Hannah!  I joined the Metanoia Catholic team in the summer of 2021 after serving 3 years as a full-time Catholic missionary with the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS). 

It was an honor to accompany so many young men and women during such pivotal years of their lives, but I very clearly felt God calling me to step out into the deep, leave college ministry and entrust the deepest dreams and desires of my heart to Him in a new way. As excited as I was about a new chapter, I began to doubt and limit God's goodness. I was afraid of being forgotten, afraid of being replaced, afraid of being overlooked and afraid of being alone.

Encountering Metanoia Catholic and learning how to take ownership and manage my mind without becoming a victim to my circumstances changed the way I showed up! I have become much more confident in myself, in my relationships with others and in my relationship with God! It is a privilege to step into this new role as a resident coach and continue growing alongside of you! 
 

Who do I work with? I love coaching those who work for the Church, either volunteer or full-time, those who want to super-charge their evangelization efforts and those who are in the midst of a transition. I also have a heart for accompanying the single gal who desires her vocation and is fighting a culture that is constantly tempting her to place her identity and self-worth in her work or relationship status. 

Megan Mohan

Hello! My name is Megan. I live in Philadelphia with my husband, Colin, and little ball of endless energy, Lucy.

I graduated with a Psychology degree from Franciscan University in 2009, and have worked in ministry ever since. I am grateful to have received professional training and attended retreats regarding the healing of the whole person (Unbound ministry, John Paul II Healing Center, healing prayer ministry); so when I discovered Metanoia Catholic, I knew this was the missing piece, not just for my ministry but for ME!

The negative soundtrack in my mind was on loop, wreaking havoc in my life by fueling the “grass is greener” syndrome and inevitably lying to me about my Vocation and husband. I saw through the lens of “nothing is good enough” and “I’ll never be satisfied”, never challenging those thoughts until I was given the tools from Metanoia Catholic. It is completely possible to be free from the loop of lies. I can testify to it (and so can my husband)!

Becoming a coach has been one of the greatest decisions of my life. I continue to be so humbled by the transformation of my clients. It is true, the Holy Spirit wants to set us free from lies, so that we can live to our fullest potential as Sons and Daughters who were created for joy, peace and greatness. 

Who do I work with? I love coaching people who struggle with relationship anxiety, which is defined as having pervasive doubt about one’s spouse or the person that you are discerning marriage with. Having experienced this myself, I discovered that my fear was based in negative thoughts surrounding a wound, trying to keep that wound protected. Once I exposed that wound to the Lord, forgave the people who instilled fear of marriage into my life, and chose new thoughts rooted in truth, I was set free. My hope is to help my clients do the same!
