What if the way we move through our days—the pace we keep, the expectations we absorb, the way we fill our time—is quietly shaping our spiritual lives more than we realize?

In this episode, I am joined by Thomistic philosopher and Editor in Chief of The Better Part Journal, Heidi Bollich-Erne for a thoughtful, honest conversation about truth, emotions, freedom, and the way modern life affects our ability to hear God. We talk about why time is not money—time is life, and how that shift changes the way we approach prayer, relationships, parenting, grief, and discernment.

Together, we explore:

Why truth exists apart from our emotions—and why emotions still matter
How grief, suffering, and even rage can challenge faith without destroying it
The pressure to measure life by productivity, achievement, and appearances
Simple ways we can prepare for better prayer throughout our day
The unseen mental and emotional load many women carry
Why forming good humans matters more than building impressive resumes
How quiet, limits, and intention prepare the soul to listen
