What happens when resilience meets faith in the face of life’s trials? This week on Veil and Armour, we welcome pioneering Feminine Genius podcaster Rachel Wong from Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Rachel shares her remarkable journey as the founder of The Feminine Genius Podcast, which she hosted from 2019 to 2022. It was a podcast that celebrated the myriad expressions of Catholic femininity. She opens up about her mental health struggles and how her unwavering faith provided guidance during tough times. Rachel also reflects on her transformative experience at World Youth Day in Panama and the lasting impact it had on her spiritual and professional endeavours, and God's calling in her life.
Have you ever felt paralyzed by the fear of making life’s big decisions? Our discussion delves into the common struggle of discerning our vocation, both within religious life and beyond. Rachel revisits her experience discerning with the Daughters of St. Paul, while Sheila shares her "Come and See" experience with the Missionaries of Charity. Together, we explore the importance of taking steps in faith, the courage to embrace the unknown, and the continuous process of spiritual growth. Rachel recalls how she learned from each and every guest on her show, each contributing to the rich dialogue of faith and the Feminine Genius.

From Stressed to Blessed with Christian Homemaking Expert Tessa Weenink

How can integrating chores and cheerfulness transform your home life? This episode of Veil and Armour features Tessa Weenink from Aimed at the Heart, a homeschooling mother of six children, a dairy farmer and a Christian life coach who empowers mothers through faith-filled strategies. Tessa shares her remarkable transition from finance to motherhood, emphasizing the importance of daily routines that blend responsibility with Christian joy and purpose. Learn her invaluable tips for setting up effective systems at home and preventing burnout, all while letting Jesus' love guide your journey.
This interview was recorded on May 9, 2024, the time of "May-cember:" the busyness of the end of the school year. This busyness is also seen now as we return to back-to-school mode in September! Many lessons to be learned from Tessa, including the 3 C's: Chores and Cheerfulness in a Christian Home.

In this week's episode, we pay tribute to the military and their families, all the holy souls we have lost to war, on this Rememberance Day in Canada and Veterans' Day in the United States.
We are joined by Josh Canning @catholicjosh , Catholic entrepreneur, content creator mental health advocate, and Catholic father of 10 children. Josh talks about the cross of depression and navigating mental illness in his marriage with wife, Lisa Canning, The Possibility Mom, former interior designer on HGTV Canada, and Catholic business coach.
How do you navigate the turbulent waters of mental illness in marriage while staying anchored in faith and hope? Join us as we sit down with Josh Canning, co-founder of "Persevere Together," who courageously shares his personal battle with depression and anxiety. Alongside insightful discussions on Remembrance Day and the sacrifices of soldiers, Josh's story opens up avenues of understanding, showing how vulnerability and seeking help can pave the way for healing and strength. This episode promises a heartfelt exploration of balancing love, mental health, and the powerful role of community support.
The journey of supporting a spouse through mental illness is both challenging and rewarding. As we recount personal stories, the focus shifts to the essential role of mutual support and communication within relationships. We delve into the inspiring work of "Persevere Together," a ministry dedicated to empowering spouses in caregiving roles. Our conversation also highlights our participation in the Bell Let's Talk campaign, emphasizing the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. By sharing these experiences, we aim to offer hope and guidance to those navigating similar paths, reminding them they're never alone.
In our final chapter, we turn to the holistic approach of nurturing mental health through lifestyle changes. From traditional practices like cooking with beef tallow and making bone broth, to the grounding effects of nature, we explore how these simple choices can profoundly impact well-being. We also discuss the pitfalls of technology and the importance of mindful presence during family meals. Josh and Lisa Canning's journey with "Persevere Together" becomes a testament to finding holiness in suffering, ultimately inspiring others to embrace their own paths of growth and transformation. Tune in for a conversation rich in faith, insight, and the courage to persevere together.

It's a week before the much anticipated U.S. election!
Do you feel anxious about the election? What's a Catholic response to the anxiety, worry and divisiveness of politics today?
Hozana App is suggesting we turn to our Catholic faith and the Holy Rosary!
In Episode 11: The Rosary - A Catholic Response to the Paris Olympics with Veil + Armour, Cassandre Verhelst, the head of the English Division of the international app said, "An isolated Christian is a Christian in danger."
Let's hear Joseph and Sheila's conversation with Cassandre, who is in Paris, France. They dove into the transformative power of prayer and how, in times of anxiety like an election period, the collective strength of community prayer becomes a beacon of hope. Cassandre shared her unique insights into an inspiring Rosary Chalelnge that aims to unite 50,000 individuals worldwide in prayer, and how tools like the Hozana and Rosario apps are facilitating these global connections of prayer in the digital age.
Our discussion also found its way into the personal realm, as Cassandre shared about her own faith journey. After joining Catechism classes and youth group in the U.S. and in France, she drew closer to the Church, and it was a time where the nurturing community and catechism classes played a crucial role. We also explored the significance of the Rosary, likening its repetitive nature to meditative practices that ground us amidst chaos. Together, we highlighted the importance of introducing this spiritual tool to the younger generation, fostering a deeper connection to faith through innovative methods.
Lastly, we journeyed to Lourdes, a sacred site of pilgrimage that holds special meaning for many Catholics. We marveled at the modern legacy of Blessed Carlo Acutis and celebrated the enduring inspiration offered by saints, both past and present. From experiencing the healing waters of Lourdes to witnessing communal acts of faith, these stories resonate with the ongoing impact of spirituality in our lives. As we wrapped up the episode, we extended an invitation to join the Rosary Challenge and connect with our vibrant community, encouraging listeners to share the blessings of prayer and unity.

Select "New group" and then "I have an invitation code."

Izabela Ciesinska, celebrated author and illustrator, takes us on an inspiring journey from her childhood in Communist Poland to her flourishing creative career in Canada, all framed by her profound return to the Catholic faith. We unpack the heartfelt inspiration behind her debut children's book, "The Little Donkey and God's Big Plan," where a single Biblical passage sparked deep reflections on God-inspired purpose and self-discovery. Isabella also delves into her love for European fairy tales, revealing how their moral clarity and enchanting illustrations have shaped her unique artistic style.
Through a Christian artist's lens, Izabela gives her impressions on the controversy surrounding the Olympics' Opening Ceremonies, critically looking at the alignment with beauty, truth, and goodness. Izabela underscores the importance of anchoring art and ambition in service to God and society.
In a beautiful testimony to the transformative power of faith and art, Izabela shares her personal journey back to Christianity. A road trip through Arizona's majestic landscapes reignited her belief in a creator, leading to a spiritual rebirth and a deepened commitment to Catholicism. Her renewed faith not only inspired her children's book but also fueled her passion for introducing beauty and art to children, advocating for creating meaningful experiences at home. We close with reflections on the community's vital role in nurturing spiritual growth.

Join Sister Helena Burns, fsp, and Sheila Nonato on Veil and Armour as they explore a profound question: Can understanding our divine nature and the Christian perspective shed light upon the ongoing gender debate? Sister Helena brings remarkable insights from Pope Benedict’s reflections on modern rebellion and the vital role of the body in today’s contentious discussions. During this week of Canadian Thanksgiving, we're filled with gratitude for our global listeners, both past and present. We invite women and mothers to join our private Facebook group for a community of shared faith, prayer and growth.
Our conversation takes a philosophical turn as we examine gender, identity, and the body through the lens of ancient Greek philosophers and the late St. John Paul II's philosophy. We consider the friction between embracing our biological nature and the contemporary gender identity challenges and transgender ideology. Sister Helena explores the consequences of resisting our innate nature and reflects upon the personalistic norm, setting the groundwork for a richer understanding of the theology of the body.
We also explore how radical feminism has influenced beliefs and the importance of critical thinking in reassessing these deeply embedded views. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children's identity and Christian faith by modeling positive and diverse role models, from historical figures to religious icons. With Sister Helena's guidance, we discuss encouraging religious vocations for daughters, highlighting the inspiring lives of nuns, and providing practical advice for parents navigating media literacy and moral values in a world filled with challenging influences.

Don't miss this enriching conversation that blends insights on faith, love, career, and family life.

How to become like saints through virtue, patience and resilience with Jacqueline Clovis, Founder of Determined to Achieve
Can virtues like generosity and forgiveness truly transform your mental health and personal development? Join us as we welcome Jacqueline Clovis, a Catholic mindset coach and CEO of Determined to Achieve, who offers a refreshing perspective on merging psychology with the Catholic faith. Jacqueline takes inspiration from Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" and elaborates on the significance of purpose and character education in schools. We dive deeply into practical tips for parents aiming to instill and model virtues, providing a roadmap to help children grow into future leaders and saints.
Curious about how to make virtues engaging for children? Jacqueline shares innovative methods, like a game designed to teach kids about virtues and faith in a fun, interactive way called the "Journey to Jesus" board game. We also discuss the delicate balance between reward and intrinsic motivation, helping children appreciate the value of their actions beyond immediate gratification. The episode underscores the importance of emotional regulation and resilience, with Jacqueline providing insights on how virtues like discipline and temperance can lead to personal success and long-term achievements.
Parenting isn't just about guiding children through their growth; it's about modeling the behaviour you wish to see. In this episode, we highlight the significance of parents' actions and consistency, especially during summer when family interaction is high (the interview was recorded on July 8, 2024). Jacqueline offers practical advice on how to incorporate virtues into daily activities like chores and family tasks, fostering a loving environment where virtues can naturally thrive. We cap off the episode with a look at how small, everyday sacrifices can serve as powerful lessons in Christian virtue, setting the stage for our next discussion with Sister Helela Burns on the Feminine Genius and parenthood. Tune in for an enriching conversation that blends faith, psychology, and practical parenting.
