  • S3 E6 - Dating, Marriage, & Sexy Sex

    Soooo, we date and try to remain chaste. Then we get married and we still try to remain chaste. Avoiding sex is hard, but You’re. Not. Alone! We invited two of our good friends Bridget (newly married) and Mary Grace (in a serious relationship) to have some good, honest girl chat about sex. And to support one another. Have you struggled with this? Have you church hopped to find different priests for confession? How do you deal with shame? How do we love authentically? What are some GOOD tips to help get through this period of sacrifice? We talk about all of this and more in this hot new episode. Come fight with us!

  • S3 E4 -The One About Birth Control
    It’s extremely widespread in use, but few users know why it was created and what it does to their bodies.
    How does it work? Is it really an abortifacient? Are there other options?
    I’m this episode, Mary presents many surprising facts about hormonal birth control and we challenge the idea that it empowers women.
    How can lack of knowledge empower women? To truly appreciate the design and intelligence of a woman, AND understand sex, we have to respect and understand fertility.
    This is fertility awareness- a more encompassing term for NFP.

    STAT referred to in the show: Breakthrough ovulation occurs between 1.7%-28.6% times per cycle with the combination pill and between 33%-65% per cycle with the progestin-only pill.

  • S3 E3 -Like Dr. Seuss says: A Person’s A Person No Matter How Small

    In this episode we continue our pro life theme by discussing the beginning of life at conception, this time with a special guest!

    Elise’s husband, William, hung out with us to talk about their son Elijah Michael Bennett and how very real his life is, despite how tiny he was. And how present he still is!

    When people deny the life of a baby at various stages of development, what does that imply about the children whom parents have lost through miscarriage?

    This and many more questions will be answered in this honest and heartfelt, yet still slightly humorous episode.

  • S3 E2 - A Pro-Life Take on Michelle Williams’ Golden Globe Comments

    January is Pro-life month and as many prepare for the March for Life in DC, many are still recuperating from Michelle Williams’ Golden Globe acceptance speech.

    In this episode, we break apart some of her quotes and how her thoughts relate to the choice to have sex and living true to women empowerment, exposing many errors in her comments in a way we hope is honest, but charitable.

  • S3 E1 - Got Discernments?

    Discernment; often otherwise known as “big question marks.” In general, discernment can be tricky. And we feel that discerning adoption carries its own special brand of crazy. Let us explain why...

    Elise and I share our personal journeys through adoption discernment and give you another bird’s eye view of the process, but from different perspectives.

  • S2 E10- Female Victor Whispers: “Pen & the Beast”

    Female Victor Whispers will be a recurring series after ViCTRiX (Latin; “Female Victor”) releases a new song. Lyrics can be powerful. Mary found great healing in expressing her pain and creativity through her lyrics. She and Elise will discuss the origins of each song, what inspired each line, and what it means to Elise.

    Today we talk about ViCTRiX (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Nl-lGDeyYYC11CB6FCyTA) and Oscar Two Ten’s (https://www.youtube.com/user/210oscar ) first released collab “Pen & the Beast.”

  • S2 E9- Strengthen Your “No” Muscle
    How hard is it to say “no?!” ...especially when you’re a people pleaser? How about saying “no” to yourself 😳? In this episode, we talk about knowing (or trying to understand) our limitations and sharpening our daily discernments regarding priorities.
    Our worth is not measured by how many responsibilities we have. Doing more is not always the answer to the call of holiness. Mother Theresa’s instruction applies to all: “Do small things with great love.”

  • S2 E8- Vanity Insanity and Obedient Ingredients
    Woo! That’s a mouthful. Elise and I both struggle with vanity-  not the “we love looking at ourselves in the mirror” kind, but the “we care too much about what other people think” kind. Did you know that is also considered vanity?
    In this episode, Elise breaks down the 3 root sins for us, which is SO helpful in understanding ourselves and growing in unity with God.
    Often what God asks of us will make us look or feel crazy, but don’t be vain 😂 do it anyway!
    Elise also tells an awesome story about St. Faustina and obedience. We had some good laughs in this one. Do you have the ingredients for obedience?

  • S2 E7- The Kanye West Episode

    Elise and I watched different interviews with Kanye West since his conversion and heard some memorable and meaningful quotes from this infamous artist.

    Is his conversion genuine? Does he want attention? Who knows. Either way, wise words and Jesus praise from such a notable person in pop culture is worth having a conversation about.
