Persistence in Prayer with Kylie Hein
Welcome to the Persistence in Prayer podcast—where Catholic women who feel pulled in a million directions stop overthinking, deepen their faith, and reclaim peace through prayer, mindset, and spiritual growth.
Are you constantly chasing productivity but feel like your soul is running on empty?
Do you long to hear God's voice in the middle of your packed schedule and mental clutter?
You're not alone.
Hosted by Catholic Mindset Coach, wife, mom, and speaker Kylie Hein, this podcast helps overwhelmed Catholic women create more space for God in their lives so they can pray with purpose and live with peace.
Each episode brings you simple spiritual practices, real-life stories, honest conversations, and Catholic tools rooted in Church teaching—including topics like:
- how to pray when you're distracted or stressed
- how to make God the center of your day (not just an add-on)
- spiritual strategies for anxiety, discernment, and decision fatigue

Whether you're in a spiritual valley or on a mountain top, there's a place for you here.
It’s time to quiet the noise, ditch the guilt, and discover the freedom that comes from persistence in prayer.
Because a well-ordered soul leads to a well-loved life.
