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
- practical ways to grow in trust, surrender, and clarity of purpose
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, begin again, and discover the freedom that comes from persistence in prayer.
Because a well-ordered soul leads to a well-loved life.

#112 Rest is a Holy Act with Heather Makowicz
Have you ever taken a nap, hoping to feel refreshed, but woke up feeling even worse than before? Or wondered why you still feel burned out even when you're technically getting enough sleep?
Today, we are rethinking rest because it's not just about closing your eyes or checking out.
In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, I am joined by Heather Macowicz, a Catholic spiritual director, retreat leader, founder of Peak Encounter Ministries, and author of Peak Encounters: A Spiritual Field Guide for Adventurous Souls.
Heather and I explore the surprising ways your soul might be asking for rest, and why. Sometimes the most restorative thing that you can do isn't a nap, but it's a walk, a paintbrush, or a real conversation with someone who truly sees you.
We also talk about:
- The tension between laziness and surrender,
- How to discern what you're really called to, and
- How to create more margin in your day for peace, prayer, and of course, the presence of God.
This one's gentle, packed with lots of wisdom and full of practical tools, especially if you've been pushing through and calling it holy.
