    20. I Confused My Desires for God’s Will (What I Learned)

    If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this God’s will or just what I want?” you’re not alone. For our 20th episode, my Sister in Christ (Karen Rex) interviews me! I share my personal testimony of how I confused my own desires for God’s will and what happened when everything fell apart. From building my identity around success, relationships, and my business, to losing it all, this is the story of how God used surrender to redirect my life. I thought I knew what God wanted for me… but I was wrong. Through this journey, God showed me the difference between His voice and my own desires and why true discernment requires surrender, trust, and letting go of control. If you’re struggling with confusion, feeling stuck, or questioning your purpose, this episode will help you understand how to discern God’s will for your life and trust His plan even when it doesn’t make sense.

    19. I Thought I Was Going to be a Nun... I Was Wrong with Mia Widhalm

    At 15 years old, Mia Widhalm felt the Lord ask her a question that would change everything: “Will you die for me?” From that moment, Mia believed she was called to religious life. She didn’t just think about it, she fully pursued it. Through youth ministry, retreats, and mission trips, she gave her “Yes” to God and stepped into what she thought was her purpose: to be a nun. She desired a life fully devoted to Jesus, serving the poor, and living radically for Him. But what happens when you’re so sure… and then realize you might have been wrong? Listen to the podcast to hear Mia's journey on finding the true calling God has for her.

    14. If She Had Community, Would She Choose Abortion? with Ann Schoofs Hundt

    In this episode of The Fearless Catholic Woman, Yingyee sits down with Ann Schoofs Hundt, the founder of Gianna’s Joy, a Catholic ministry in Lake Mills, Wisconsin. Gianna's Joy's mission is to share the love of Christ and affirm the sanctity of life by supporting women through pregnancy and birth, offering continued support to their families as long as needed. Their vision is to offer companionship, material, and spiritual support through community and church sponsorship. Most importantly, Gianna's Joy reminds us that every life is a gift, community matters, and you are never alone. After retiring from a successful career in medical research and industrial engineering, Ann felt a clear calling from God to step into Catholic ministry. What began as a small group meeting under ten people turned into a life-affirming mission that started Gianna's Joy: providing companionship, emotional support, spiritual encouragement, baby supplies, and real community for pregnant women who feel alone. If you have ever wondered how to respond to abortion conversations with love, how to support a friend facing an unexpected pregnancy, or how to step into your own calling, this conversation will strengthen your courage.For more information and resources, about Gianna's Joy, visit here.

    13. What is Lent?

    What is Lent, and why does the Catholic Church dedicate 40 days to this sacred season? In this episode of The Fearless Catholic Woman, Yingyee shares the true meaning of Lent and how it is more than just giving something up. Lent is an invitation into deeper intimacy with God, a time to step away from distractions, and a season to recenter your life on Jesus. If you have ever felt confused about Lent or like you were just going through the motions, this episode will help you understand the purpose behind fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. Yingyee explains why the number 40 appears throughout Scripture, how the desert represents a place of testing and encounter with God, and how this season can transform your relationship with Him. You will also hear practical ideas for how to live out Lent, whether you are returning to your faith, starting a new prayer routine, or looking for a deeper spiritual reset. This episode will help you approach Lent with intention so you can depend on God more and grow in your identity as His beloved daughter.
