Persistence in Prayer with Kylie Hein
Welcome to the Persistence in Prayer podcast — where Catholic women who feel scattered, stretched thin, and pulled in a million directions can stop overthinking, quiet the noise, and find peace in God’s presence.
Do you push through each day chasing productivity, yet feel like your soul is running on empty?
Do you long to pray with focus, but your mind spins with stress, decisions, and distractions?
Do you want clarity in your faith, but feel weighed down by pressure to be “the good one” or “get it right”?
You’re not alone.
Hosted by Catholic mindset coach, spiritual director, wife, mom, and speaker Kylie Hein, this podcast helps overwhelmed Catholic women clear the mental clutter and reclaim space for prayer, trust, and peace.
Each episode offers:
- Simple Catholic prayer practices you can actually use in busy life
- Real-life stories of women overcoming stress, perfectionism, and anxiety
- Honest conversations about faith, surrender, and discernment
- Tools rooted in Scripture, the saints, and Church teaching for peace of mind and soul
You’ll discover how to:
- Pray when you feel distracted, stressed, or spiritually dry
- Hear God’s voice in the middle of your busy schedule
- Discern decisions with peace and confidence
- Break free from perfectionism and self-reliance
- Live with greater trust, surrender, and clarity of purpose
Whether you’re feeling spiritually stuck or longing to go deeper, there’s a place for you here.
It’s time to step out of the spiral, begin again, and experience the freedom that comes from persistence in prayer.
Because when your soul is ordered in God, your life becomes rooted in His peace.

#114 Restoring the Soul Through Silence with Deanna Bartalini
You wake up early to pray, but your mind won't settle. You open your Bible, but the words feel distant and deep down you wonder "why do I still feel so far from God?"
It's easy to stay busy even in prayer, but what if the noise isn't around you? It's actually inside you.
Today's conversation is a gentle invitation into silence. A silence that is not just the absence of sound. But the kind of stillness that brings your soul a little bit closer to the Lord.
In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, we're joined by Deanna Bartalini, a certified Spiritual Director, retreat leader, speaker, writer, and founder of Live Not Lukewarm.
We talk about:
- the power of quiet and interior silence,
- some non-negotiables to keep us grounded in our faith life,
- how to pray with scripture,
- the importance of soul-care,
- and the courage it takes to say yes to God—especially in seasons of transition.
Deanna shares her journey of rediscovering her calling later in life, and how making space for prayer and stillness became essential to hearing God's voice again.
This honest and hope-filled conversation is an invitation to step away from the noise, trust God's timing, and care for your soul as you walk with Him.
