Universal Sisterhood Podcast

In this episode I chat with a brave young women who shares her story of heartache, healing and hope through the process of having her marriage declared annulled by the church.

There is a lot of confusion about annulments and with this confusion there comes assumptions, judgements and often a lack of charity. I really reccommed you watch this 7 minute you tube clip produced out by Ascencion Presents - The Truth about Annulments, with Fr Mark Mary.

It has been said that comparison is the thief of joy however comparison can also steal your confidence. In a culture where competition means building yourself up by tearing other people down, it is refreshing to see a community that is being counter cultural. Embers Basketball is a wonderful community that accompanies women in living life to the fullest through basketball, friendship and faith allowing women the opportunity to build their confidence and set the world on fire.

What happens when your week doesn't go as planned? What happens if you find yourself facing surgery? 

Liv and I talk about the power of suffering and the chance to continually hand it over to God.

We also hear about Olivia's addiction to chapsticks!

As women, we have such power in birth and the enemy is fully aware of this. Christ could have come into the world in any way he wanted and He specifically chose to enter through the womb of His mother Mary. This space is holy and sacred and for far too long it has been taken captive by the enemy. It is time to reclaim it back and redeem it. A 9,000 women study on birth has been conducted in Australia with surprising results. 80% of women walk out of the birthing experience having had intervention and 1 in 3 women have said to have experienced some for of trauma. The three top comments of women about the birthing experience said that they felt dehumanised, powerless and violated. This is not OK and there needs to be a radical shift in the way we approach birth and motherhood. Find Sally here at @sally.siena.birthkeeper
