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.

Do you ever feel like you’re walking your faith journey alone?

Maybe you long for Catholic friendships that lift you up, or a community where you can grow spiritually and be yourself.

In a world that often feels disconnected and fast-paced, finding real faith-filled friendship can feel impossible—but it doesn’t have to be.

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, author and Catholic creative Amy Brooks, founder of Prayer, Wine, and Chocolate, talks about how to build authentic Catholic community in everyday life, and why friendship, collaboration, and even how we shop can draw us closer to Christ.

Amy shares how simple acts of connection—through prayer, conversation, and creativity—can draw us closer to God and one another.

You’ll hear practical ways to form lasting friendships rooted in faith, find peace in busy seasons, and rediscover the joy of Catholic community.
