In this episode, Rachael is joined by Catholic speaker, writer, and dear friend, Joan Watson. They review the story of St. Mary Magdalene and highlight her continuing impact on the Church, especially concerning femininity and shame. Is there a difference between St. Mary Magdalene and St. Mary of Bethany? How does the modern Church honor the dignity of women? They also discuss the goodness that can emerge from leaning on her in times of struggle. Welcome to a place of honesty, hope, and healing for women struggling with sexual addiction.
