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.

#116 When Life Feels Unfair: Embracing Your Cross with Monica Herber
Have you ever felt like your life took a turn you didn't plan, and you're holding tight to what you thought that life would be? You're grieving the gap between the ideal and your reality.
Maybe you're wondering, "Can joy really exist in this season of crazy chaos where my circumstances feel so utterly unfair?"
If that's you, then I want you to take a deep breath and listen to today's episode because we are talking about a surrender that makes you stronger. An embracing of the cross rather than fighting tooth and nail against your circumstances that are making you angry and frustrated.
In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, we're joined by Monica Herber, a Catholic life and marriage coach, whose journey through infertility, adoption, and parenting a child with disabilities has deeply shaped her faith and outlook on life.
Her passion is to help struggling Christians find real joy when the unexpected happens.
Together, we explore themes of grief, anticipatory loss, the difference between carrying our true cross and unnecessary baggage, and the daily practice of persistent, honest prayer in the midst of life's chaos.
