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 going through the motions—praying, working, and trying to love well—but still wondering if any of it really matters?

So many of us long to feel close to God in the ordinary, to see holiness in our hidden work, and to believe that our small acts of love are part of something eternal.

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, Ava Frecker, Catholic writer and editor of Caeli Catholic, invites us to step back, lift our eyes beyond the noise, and remember what it means to live in the light of eternity.

Ava and I talk about how to find God’s presence in the middle of motherhood, work, and all the in-between moments.

You’ll hear us discuss:

How to keep heaven in mind in your everyday life.
Practical ways to create visual and spiritual reminders of eternity.
Understanding your God-given temperament and how it shapes your growth in virtue.
How to embrace your unique gifts, whether you’re in the spotlight or behind the scenes.
Finding purpose in motherhood, creativity, and the unseen work that no one claps for.

If you’ve been longing for peace, meaning, and a renewed perspective on your daily life, this episode will encourage you to see your ordinary moments as part of God’s eternal story.
