The Catholic Woman Podcast

I just finished Marie’s interview of Abby Johnson, and let me just say, this podcast should be required listening for Catholic moms! Oh my gosh!! Marie explores the topics in her podcasts that truly are the most important and closest to our hearts as Catholic mothers - from how to respond gracefully to questions on abortion to navigating the postpartum period and SO much more. Do yourself a favor and start the binge-listening over today’s cup of coffee. Warning: you might not be able to stop!

Can’t deal with the California girl accents.

I think this podcast has a lot of potential. I like the topics explored and Marie seems like a nice person and faithful Catholic, but it’s really difficult to listen to due to the host’s speaking manners. Use of filler words such as “you know,” nervous giggling almost constantly, and slurring of words. I would highly recommend some sort of public speaking class! Great ideas though.

I really wanted to listen to the 2/20/24 episode about healthy eating, as the topic seemed important. As I listened I found myself being quite distracted by the “likes” and “you know”s that the young ladies kept using in their sentences. I know that this is something I have had to force myself to pay closer attention to in my own speech so that I can avoid sounding immature and be taken more seriously when I speak. Just a suggestion that as a podcast host and a guest on a podcast, you might try eliminating those filler words and phrases too.
