#146 Pushing Through Isn’t Making You More Productive with Bruce Wawrzyniak 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.

There’s a kind of woman who doesn’t really stop.

She might sit down. She might take a break.
But her mind doesn’t.

It keeps running—
thinking about the conversation, the decision, the problem that hasn’t been solved yet.

Because somewhere along the way, she learned that staying in it…
is what responsible people do.

But what if that’s actually the thing keeping you stuck?

In today’s conversation, I sit down with Bruce Wawrzyniak, Obl.S.B of Catholic Sports Radio, and we get into a shift that sounds almost too simple—but has real consequences for how you experience both your work and your life.

We talk about why constantly thinking about your problems doesn’t make you more productive…
how your inability to step away might actually be draining your clarity…
and what it looks like to create space—not just physically, but mentally and spiritually.

This isn’t about doing less for the sake of doing less.
It’s about finally seeing clearly enough to do what actually matters.

If you’re the woman who feels like everything depends on her…
and stepping away feels irresponsible—
this episode might challenge you in the best way.
