  • Love the wholistic approach

    I love this podcast’s wholistic approach to mental health, faith, and family life. As a parent of four kiddos and a busy working mom, I find so much encouragement and excellent grounding reminders here. Thank you, Kenna and Pat!

  • Postpartum episode was not helpful

    Please spend time discussing postpartum mental health issues. The episode you did was not that helpful. There are better resources out there for help such as postpartum international.com. Not all Catholic women have easy pregnancies or postpartum periods and they need help.

  • Worth listening to more than once!

    I am not a “podcast repeater” but I find these episodes so helpful and full that it’s probably the only one where I’ve listened to multiple episodes more than once! Great depth and things to ponder. And as I grow and change through the year, worth revisiting and gaining more from the episodes.

  • Latest episode on superstition

    Absolutely amazing episode. I stopped listening because I’m a widow and I wasn’t “hearing” anything for me. I saw you liked something from Bishop Barron and you liked his post and I like the name of your show. So here I am with gratitude for every word of this latest episode. Especially liked Father’s contribution.

    I started saying the rosary and realize I can’t miss a morning because there will be consequences.

  • Encouragement and support

    This podcast has been so amazing! I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the topics, and how the hosts can relay very important and at times heavy topics in a way that I can connect with. The full integration of mind, body and spirit has been enormously encouraging to me on my own personal mental health journey. Their authentic Christian perspective of the whole person has allowed me to understand myself better, and my relationships with others. I talk about and share episodes frequently with family... more
