What can a woman who lived over 200 years ago teach us about faith, courage, and finding God’s will in the middle of real-life struggles?

Today, we are diving into the life of the first American-born Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, Sister Betty Ann McNeil—one of the leading scholars on St. Elizabeth Ann Seton—joins us to explore the saint’s life as a wife, mother, widow, convert, and founder. 

We’ll uncover how Elizabeth Ann Seton found hope in suffering, discerned God’s will through loss and uncertainty, and lived with unshakable trust in His providence. 

You’ll discover practical insights for your own faith journey, learn why her story is more relevant than ever, and hear how her devotion to Scripture, the Eucharist, and Mary can inspire us today.

If you've ever wondered how to find peace and confidence in God's will right now in the middle of ordinary everyday life, this conversation is for you. 

If you’re ready to trade overwhelm for openness, join me for Becoming a Living Yes—an 8-week coaching cohort designed to help you find peace and freedom in the everyday. We begin on October 6, 2025.
