In this Say Yes to Holiness podcast conversation, Christina Summary has a conversation with Leah Jacobson. She discusses her journey and the new program she is managing called Catholic Women's and Gender Studies. She shares how her upbringing on a dairy farm and how her Catholic faith shaped her understanding of the natural order and the importance of women's bodies. Leah also talks about her experience in college, where she realized the differences in perspectives on gender and women's rights which led her to question the mainstream feminist movement and advocate for a Catholic feminism that aligns with the teachings of the Church. Leah founded the Guiding Star Project, a nonprofit that focuses on holistic women's health and supports women's bodies. She then explains the new Master's program in Catholic Women's and Gender Studies at the University of St. Thomas, Houston, which aims to provide a Christian anthropology and worldview in the study of gender and sexuality. The program is divided into four certificates: Catholic feminism, women's health and wellness, gender and family policy, and sexuality and gender. Leah hopes that graduates of the program will be able to speak truthfully and charitably about women's issues and contribute to the restoration of the natural order in society.

That's a problem because it doesn't focus on what women are and can give, are, or their potential. Enter the Catholic Gender Studies program.

This episode is a deep dive into the world of hormones, where we unearth their impact on everything from our emotions and behaviors to our physical health. With the help of Trisa, we tackle the complex subject matter with a focus on the female body, emphasizing the importance of tracking fertility cycles and moving beyond the quick-fix birth control approach to embrace a more holistic understanding of our health.We'll shine a light on the surprising ways everyday actions can shift our hormone levels, affecting our happiness and confidence. Trisa and I discuss the profound insights gained from charting fertility cycles and how period tracker apps can become indispensable tools for managing hormonal health. We also delve into the subtle symptoms of hormonal imbalances and advocate for natural alternatives to birth control, all in an effort to empower women to harness their hormone genius.Wrapping up the conversation, we share the exciting launch of Women's Health Week at Franciscan University and reflect on the cultural issues affecting women's health today. As the founder of the nonprofit Guiding Star Project, I'm passionate about correcting misinformation and advocating for a society that supports, rather than suppresses, the natural rhythms of women's bodies. Join us for an enlightening discussion that not only celebrates the intricacies of the female body but also arms you with the knowledge to take control of your health and identity.We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone that attended SEEK24, and know that we are praying for you.

Have you been wishing there was a resource for young women that would give them all the information they need to know about their body, their fertility cycle, and their hormones? Do you wish young women knew that there are alternatives to using birth control to treat period problems? In a world where women are often told that their bodies need to be controlled or suppressed, a new book from Lumen Press, in partnership with The Guiding Star Project and the Vitae Foundation, offers a different narrative. Written by women's health nurse practitioner and co-creator of The Hormone Genius Podcast, Teresa Kenney's new book The Happy Girl's Guide to Being Whole aims to set young women free to believe their bodies were made good, and should be supported and respected. With over 22 years of clinical practice, working with women across the reproductive lifespan, and her service on the board of directors of the Guiding Star Project, a national, “wholistic” women's health movement, Kenney's experience amounts to a wealth of information for women seeking the truth about their bodies. Jamie will interview Teresa about her new book and what it all entails, how it could change the life of a woman you love, and where you can grab your copy today! It is available at lumenpress.org and on Amazon today, and do not forget to leave a review :) Especially on Amazon to help more women see this book as they are browsing for books about body literacy! https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Girls-Guide-Being-Whole/dp/1735223727/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2C23LSP0CLXJE&keywords=teresa+kenney&qid=1684895726&sprefix=teresa+kenney%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-1 https://www.lumenpress.org/product/the-happy-girls-guide-to-being-whole/ Medical disclaimer: The information presented in The Hormone Genius Podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for actual medical or mental health advice from a doctor, psychologist, or any other medical or mental health professional.

Leah Jacobson, wife and mother of seven children never thought she'd be called to motherhood. Leah had been taught as a young woman that success was equal to a career. Leah met her husband and remained faithful to the teachings of the Church to being open to life. After discovering the depth and beauty of her call to motherhood, Leah realized she had been pressured into a false identity by the secular world. Leah discovered her true identity as a daughter of God.  Leah speaks of Saint Catherine of Sienna's words, "Be Who God Meant You to Be and You'll Set the World on Fire." Leah encourages listeners to discover their identities in Christ and further the Kingdom of God. Leah founded the Guiiding Star Project in 2001 to support women as they transition into motherhood and uphold the sanctity of life at every stage. Leah is the author of, "Wholistic Feminism: Healing the Identity Crisis Caused by the Women's Movement."

 After a bit of a hiatus, we are thrilled to be back with Leah Jacobson, founder and CEO of The Guiding Star Project, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and author of Wholistic Feminism: Healing the Identity Crisis Caused by the Women's Movement. Leah lives in Central Minnesota with her husband, Josh, and seven children.  Her quote comes from Edmund Burke (we think; that attribution is contested), and was painted on the wall of her high school psychology classroom: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”  A couple other quotes we discuss in this episode are from St. Teresa of Calcutta: “I do not pray for success; I ask for faithfulness.” “We have the obligation to speak the truth but we don't have to convince anyone.”  and St. Augustine: “The truth is like a lion. You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.”Leah also mentioned the film, The Business of Birth Control. Connect with Leah at www.guidingstarproject.com and get a copy of her book at www.lumenpress.org.To suggest a quote or a guest, follow the show on Instagram, @quoteme_podcast, or contact Lindsay at her website, LindsaySchlegel.com.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the podcast, leave a review wherever you find your podcasts, and tell a friend. Until next time, God bless you!

Have you ever wondered why we are so divided as women today? Then there's feminism, but it doesn't seem to be uniting us by addressing core problems we all face as women. In fact, in my experience, even conversations around the topic of what feminism is and isn't can be divisive. Maybe you feel that being a woman today comes with unrealistic expectations and a side of shame for not doing it all, not being enough, or not having it all together perfectly. You're worried you're not measuring up, and those worries are only enforced each time you compare yourself to your sister, your best friend, the mom's from your small group, the woman you sit behind at church, your neighbor, or the gal you follow on Instagram but you've never met. In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Leah Jacobson. Ten years ago, Leah founded The Guiding Star Project, care centers you can find around the nation that empower women to understand, embrace, and love their natural bodies. Today, it's her goal to spread the word about wholistic feminism - a principle that has been at the heart of The Guiding Star Project for the past decade. Leah writes about how the American women's movement has defined success in a way that keeps us always striving, but never fully arriving. Today, we're having a conversation about the history of different waves of feminism here in the US, the good and bad of the results of those waves of feminism, and how realizing and appreciating our distinctly female abilities to ovulate, gestate, and lactate can help us understand what wholistic feminism looks like in today's world - and provide the key answers to those struggles with expectations, comparison, and frankly, exhaustion, in our lives as women. If your health is taking a back seat to all of the things on your to-do list, your relationships are strained to the max, and you struggle to overcome guilt, shame, and fear, sister, this letter is for you. Topics we talked about in this episode: What wholistic feminism is and how it has shaped The Guiding Star Project for the past decade A brief overview of the different waves of feminism in American history How past waves of the feminist movements have failed us, and what grains of truth we can find in them What ovulating, gestating, and lactating reveal about our nature as women Leah's recommendations for daily practices that help you honor your feminine identity and your WHOLE health Resources you should check out after listening to this episode: Purchase a copy of “Wholistic Feminism” through Lumen Press to support The Guiding Star Project The Guiding Star Project Pope St. John Paul II's “Letter to Women” Pope St. John Paul II's “Evangelium Vitae” Pick up a copy of the new Letters to Women book today! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/letters-to-women/support

Through her ministry, Leah works with women to heal the crisis caused by the Women's Movement, realize their worth, and set realistic expectations for themselves.

Sign up for the 7 Days to Living Pro-Life Challenge! College campuses all over the United States host an annual "Sex Week" focused on topics surrounding sex, gender, and sexuality. The week is typically linked to the local Planned Parenthood. One organization, The Guiding Star Project, recognizes the deeply harmful impact of "Sex Week" as well as the link between this event and abortion. Today, Caitlin Bostrom from The Guiding Star Project joins the show to discuss how their "Women's Health Week" is a healthy alternative to "Sex Week".
