In this episode, Shelby and Rachael talk about the feminine genius: what it is, where it came from, and how it should be integrated into our lives as Catholic women. They pull directly from the source document it came from, Pope St. John Paul II’s “Letter to Women”, and go through the document paragraph by paragraph to discover what the feminine genius actually is.

Welcome to a place of honesty, hope, and healing for women struggling with sexual addiction. We’re so glad you’re here.
