#131 Virtue and the Four Tendencies in Marriage with Matthew Jandernoa Artwork

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.

Ever feel like you’re carrying everything in your marriage—the emotional load, the spiritual load, the schedules, the growth—and your husband is living on a totally different wavelength?

In this conversation with Catholic men’s coach Matthew Jandernoa, we break down why you and your spouse are wired so differently and why that might actually be the path God wants to use to grow virtue in both of you.

Matthew explains the Four Tendencies, what’s really happening inside your husband’s mind, how ADHD-style wiring affects virtue, and why nothing is “wrong” with you if consistency or temperance feels harder.

We cover:

Practical communication strategies,
How to avoid resentment,
How men actually experience expectations, and
Why prayer is meant to be enjoyable.

If you’ve ever thought “something must be wrong with me … or us,” this episode will give you a hopeful, freeing framework for understanding yourself, your husband, and your marriage.
