  • Katie Ibarra & Alison Dazzio

    After listening to Katie Ibarra talk to Sarah I was HOOKED! The honesty and faith she shared was beautiful & inspiring. I immediately subscribed and was not disappointed. The talks just keep getting better. Alison Dazzio’s talk was much more of the same - truthful, real and eye opening which is exactly what I want to hear & learn from. Thank you for your incredible guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anatomical Differences, Jesus' Treatment of Women, and the Manosphere
Q: What does Jesus think about women?
Jesus treats women as embodied beings worthy of direct, face-to-face dialogue, calls out sin where needed, and elevates their dignity, often challenging cultural norms to show them they are seen and valued as equals with unique roles; this reflects a broader pattern in scripture of restoring equality and mutual respect between men and women.
Wife, Mother, & Women's Health NP: Shannon Eaton McCormick's Story
Q: Shannon, can you share your journey of becoming a nurse and what inspired you along the way?
I didn't really have a calling initially; my journey took a turn when I realized I was drawn to nursing after exploring several pre-professional paths.
Sanctifying the Word: Taking Every Thought Captive
Q: What are some steps that you could recommend for a woman seeking to sanctify her mind?
I recommend growing in self-awareness, reflecting on what brings you joy, and bringing your thoughts and feelings to Jesus.
Living Life As a Bride of Christ: Sr. Tracey Dugas, FSP
Q: Could you explain what the discernment process looks like?
It's about learning how to hear the voice of God and bringing my experiences into spiritual direction to discern my path.
Prayer–Searching for the Grace
Q: What are the practicals of helping little ones who are just squirming?
Start with a five-minute presence prayer, teach them about God’s presence, and recreate a simple prayer space for them.
