The To the Heights Podcast, a production of the Grexly Podcast Network, takes the mantra of Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati and interviews changemakers in the Church and the world who are working for social justice in their own communities. In this first episode of season 4, Fr. Cassidy and Olivia reunite for another year of podcasting in the Media Feed at SEEK21. They take questions from listeners on vocations, goat cheese, living in a church, and everything in between––and they’re joined by a special guest… St. Therese of Lisieux?

Leah Jacobson, founder of The Guiding Star Project, joins Olivia and cohost Ava to talk about "wholistic feminism", female healthcare, and the overuse and misuse of birth control.

Hailing from central Minnesota, Leah has been working with young people and mothers since 2000. As a mother to seven children and an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant, she has a special interest in supporting young women as they transition into becoming new mothers. Her passion for women’s health has led her to found The Guiding Star Project, a national non-profit organization with seven Guiding Star Centers in six states. Her work with Guiding Star is truly reframing the narrative about what it means to provide authentic women’s healthcare services in the United States. She hopes to someday see Guiding Star centers in every major US city, sharing a more wholistic and life- affirming message to all women about their beautiful natural feminine abilities.

Leah writes and speaks about her worldview called Wholistic Feminism at her website www.leahajacobson.com.

Rather than flying like the school offered for him to do, he decided to walk all 550 miles and raise money for the homeless along the way. Olivia and Gordon chat about the experience and where he plans to go from here.
