In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, host Kylie Hein is joined by Margaret Schay, a devoted daughter of God, wife, and mother, who integrates the rich teachings of Catholic psychology into her coaching work.

Margaret shares her journey from experiencing depression in college as she found herself striving, to discovering the transformative power of therapy and personal growth, drawing from John Paul II's Theology of the Body. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and understanding the different parts of ourselves, particularly our striving and achiever parts, to cultivate a holistic and peaceful interior life.

The conversation delves into the concept of "parts work," a psychological approach that resonates with Catholic anthropology, encouraging listeners to embrace and integrate all aspects of their personalities for a more fulfilled and spiritually aligned life. The episode concludes with a reflective discussion on Psalm 34, highlighting the importance of feeling our emotions and trusting in God's presence during our suffering.
