  • Mary took me

    I found this to be a very helpful podcast, I appreciate that this is a place where we can all learn and share our faith to help us be better disciple’s of Christ and where we help lift other women in ways we can deepen and strengthen our faith in Christ.

  • Truly an answered prayer

    This podcast has truly helped me understand and appreciate becoming a Catholic woman. Before I felt confused and alone. I listened to “Mary Took Me Somewhere..” episode and I have listened to it twice through. My heart has really been drawn to Mary lately and I have been discerning on reading a Marian consecration. This episode was truly an answered prayer. Giving me so much insight, hope and clarity! Thank you!🤍

  • Perfect Podcast

    This podcast has opened my heart to so many different truths about the Catholic Church. I’ve grown up Catholic my entire life, but listening to this podcast has instilled habits and different fruits that have better my relationship with Christ. This podcast has so helped me to see the beauty in our mother Mary. Fantastic podcast for any Catholic woman who want to feel validated in their faith journey.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stress Management for Catholic Women Who Can't Slow Down (with Suzanne Bracci)
Q: What practical tools do you recommend to someone feeling overwhelmed?
A 'stress purse' of strategies including diaphragmatic breathing, movement, thought reframing, rest, social connection, and Scripture-based affirmations.
How To Know When God Is Asking You To Quit (with Claire Swinarski)
Q: How do you balance historical accuracy with creative storytelling in these books?
Claire explains guardrails like Saint Spotlight in the back and expert readers (Carmelites, Missionaries of Charity) to verify plausible events, while allowing imaginative scenes to bring the saints to life for young readers without claiming exact historical quotes.
The Sex Advice You Didn't Get in Marriage Prep: Real Talk About Theology, Mechanics, and Pleasure
Q: How can women prepare physically to avoid pain during sex and improve arousal and orgasm?
Ensure adequate foreplay, address lubrication (prefer oils or silicone-based lubes over coconut oil), consider pelvic floor health if pain persists, and explore anatomy education to better understand stimulation and orgasm.
The Sex Advice You Didn't Get in Marriage Prep: Real Talk About Theology, Mechanics, and Pleasure
Q: So let's talk about what the church says about sex and marriage, what is allowed, what is not allowed, in a basic overview.
The church teaches the inseparability of the unitive and procreative purposes of sex; contraception, IVF, and severing procreative from unitive purposes are cautioned against, while foreplay and natural lubrication are important for a healthy, moral sexual life within marriage.
The Catholic Woman's Guide to Neurodivergency: Signs, Diagnosis, Spiritual Peace, and Practical Help
Q: What does neurodivergence mean in practical terms for families, and how can Catholic women navigate this with their children?
Ginny explains neurodivergence as an umbrella term for brains wired differently, affecting processes like executive function, working memory, sensory regulation, and emotion. She emphasizes seeing gifts, pursuing appropriate supports, and grounding parenting in faith, community, and growth mindset rather than shame.
