To the Catholic wife who's started editing her own life just to keep the peace...
You know that feeling. You're about to share something — good news, a plan, something going on with your kids — and you stop yourself. Because you've learned that information has a way of getting back to the wrong people.
Maybe your mother-in-law mentioned something she had no way of knowing. Maybe she showed up somewhere she wasn't invited. Maybe your kids came home saying things that made your stomach drop.
Or maybe it's nothing that dramatic. Maybe it's just the constant low-level awareness that your family's life isn't fully private. That someone always seems to have a window in.
And somewhere along the way, you stopped feeling like your home was a sanctuary — and started feeling like you were living in a fishbowl.
Here's what nobody has told you yet: your family's privacy is yours to protect. And you have far more right to guard it than you've been led to believe.
The longer this goes on, the more it costs you.
It's not just the stress of the moment. It's what happens over time when you don't have a plan.
You start self-censoring — not just with your in-laws, but with everyone. You get anxious before family events. You fight with your husband about things you can't even fully explain because the root cause is something he doesn't see yet.
Your kids pick up on the tension. Your marriage carries the weight of a problem that was never fully named.
And the in-laws? They just keep going. Because nobody ever showed them a boundary they couldn't eventually push through.
Here's the hard truth: wishing things were different isn't a strategy. Neither is hoping they'll eventually back off on their own. They won't.
But there is a practical path forward — and it starts with understanding exactly what you're entitled to protect, how to protect it, and what to do if things escalate.
That's why this masterclass exists.
Hi! I'm Miriam Susan, a Catholic convert, wife and mother of 6, who understands firsthand the challenges of navigating difficult in-law relationships while staying true to my faith. After 3 decades of in-laws drama, I've dedicated myself to helping other Catholic wives find the peace and confidence God wants for their families.
Through over 100 podcast episodes and personal coaching, I've helped hundreds of women realize that protecting their marriage and family isn't selfish—it's a very Catholic thing to do!
Every Catholic wife deserves to feel empowered and SAFE in her own home while honoring her marriage and faith.
Why Miriam Susan
I didn't study this. I lived it.
My name is Miriam Susan. I'm the host of the Catholic Wives with Toxic In-Laws podcast and the founder of the Catholic Wives + Toxic In-Laws Community at ToxicInLaws.com.
I'm a married mother of six, and I've spent nearly three decades navigating one of the most intrusive in-law situations you can imagine — including years of research and learning about privacy protection, legal options, and what it actually takes to safeguard your family when someone in your husband's family (or yours!) doesn't respect your boundaries.
We worked with attorneys. We consulted private investigators. We learned what works, what doesn't, and what we wish we'd known far sooner.
Most of you will never need the extreme steps we took. But every single one of you deserves to know your options, at whatever level your situation requires.
That's what I'm sharing on March 31st.
INTRODUCING
The Private Family Masterclass
A 90-minute live masterclass covering everything you need to protect your family's privacy from intrusive in-laws: from everyday boundaries to serious situations.
This isn't a generic privacy course. It isn't a boundaries lecture. And it isn't theoretical.
This is a practical, Catholic-informed masterclass built around the specific dynamic of a wife dealing with in-laws who feel entitled to information, access, and influence they were never meant to have.
We cover three levels because not every situation is the same.
What We'll Cover
Segment One: Everyday Privacy
What You're Allowed to Keep to Yourself
What your in-laws are actually entitled to know — and what they aren't
Why the obligation to share feels so strong (and why it isn't real)
Verbal habits that quietly give away more than you intend
Social media and digital sharing — what to rethink immediately
How to start getting your husband on the same page
Segment 02: Your Digital Footprint
What They Can Find Online and How to Limit It
What a basic internet search reveals about your family right now
Online people-finder directories: how to find them and start removing yourself
Public records, voter registration, and what's searchable
Practical steps to reduce your digital footprint without going off the grid
Free and paid tools that can help you do this faster
Segment 03: Advanced Protection
For Situations That Require More
Property records, mail privacy, and address suppression
What we personally did when we moved — and what worked
When to involve an attorney, a private investigator, or law enforcement
Protective orders: what they are, how they work, when to pursue one
Legal resources for families dealing with harassment or false accusations
* The Advanced segment is shared as personal experience and general information only, not legal advice. Laws vary by state. Please consult a licensed attorney for your specific situation.

This is for you if...
Your in-laws seem to know things they shouldn't and you didn't want them to know
You feel like your family has no real privacy
You've experienced drop-ins, spying, or monitoring
You want practical steps, not just emotional processing

You or your husband have a sinking feeling things are getting worse
This probably isn't for you if...
Your in-law relationship is genuinely healthy
You want legal advice specific to your case (please see an attorney)
You're looking for emotional support only (the podcast and membership are better fits)
You're not ready to talk to your husband about what's bothering you right now
You equate privacy with "keeping secrets" and "hiding things"
You're okay with how things are and are hesitant to do anything that might make things worse
TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying:
"No one can see how damaging families like this really are. Thank you for putting this message out there with a Catholic perspective... I know in my heart I'm doing the right thing but it makes me feel like I'm tearing a family apart when really I'm trying to save my marriage and family!"

It Comes Down to a Choice.
You've read this far. Which means some part of you already knows that what you've been doing isn't working.
Hoping they'll back off hasn't worked. Trying to keep everyone happy hasn't worked. Staying quiet and just absorbing it hasn't worked.
So here's where you are:
You can close this page and keep doing what you've been doing. Nothing changes. The in-laws keep getting more information than they should. The anxiety stays. The sense that your family isn't fully yours keeps building.
Or you can spend 90 minutes on March 31st actually getting a plan from someone who has lived this.
Not a vague idea. Not a pep talk. A real, practical framework for protecting what's yours — with the faith and the strategy to back it up.

STILL NOT SURE?
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to attend live, or can I watch the replay?
Both options work. Attending live gives you the chance to ask questions in real time — and many women find that incredibly valuable. But if you can't make it at 8pm Eastern on March 31st, the full replay will be waiting for you. The masterclass runs on Riverside — no software download, just open your browser. A laptop gives you the best experience.
How do I participate? Do I have to download any software to watch?
Once you sign up, you will receive an email confirmation with a link to join in when the Private Family Masterclass begins. It will be hosted by Riverside, a browser or app based platform similar to Zoom, but without having to download anything. You can join via your phone or computer, but for the best user experience, Riverside recommends using a Chrome browser on a computer or laptop.
My husband is skeptical. Can we watch this together?
Absolutely and it's designed with that in mind. This masterclass is about protecting your family, not diagnosing or criticizing his parents. Many husbands who wouldn't sit through a "boundaries" conversation are very willing to talk about privacy and protecting their household. This is a good one to watch together.
Why isn't this free? Can't I just find this information for free online?
Some of it, yes, and we'll point you to the best free resources during the masterclass. But here's what you won't find online: content that specifically addresses intrusive in-laws, adult family members who feel entitled to your information, and the Catholic framework that shapes how you think about family loyalty and obligation. Generic privacy content doesn't speak to your situation. This does. I'm not offering this for free, in large part, because I don't want toxic people learning everything I'm going to share. When you've dealt with these kinds of issues for as long as I have, you want to only share this information with those who value it and won't use it against someone else.
My situation isn't that extreme. Is this still worth it for me?
Yes. The three-segment structure means you take what applies to your situation and leave the rest. Most women will find that even the first two segments give them more practical tools than they expected, regardless of where they are on the spectrum.
What's your refund policy?
If you attend the live masterclass or watch the full replay and honestly feel like you didn't learn anything new, email me within 14 days for a full refund. No questions asked.
I'm a member of the Catholic Wives + Toxic In-Laws Community. Do I get a discount?
Yes and the discount depends on your tier. Free tier community members receive a $20 off coupon code, bringing your price to $47. Premium tier community members get the masterclass included in their membership at no extra charge. Check your member inbox for your code or access link.
Is any of this legal advice?
No. The information in each segment is shared as personal experience and general information only. Miriam Susan is not an attorney, and nothing in this masterclass should be taken as legal advice. Please consult a licensed attorney in your state for guidance specific to your situation.

Your family deserves a life that's actually yours.
Tuesday, March 31st. 8pm Eastern.
90 minutes. Live on Riverside.
Everything you need to protect what's yours.
