Today I'm joined by Mallory Smyth to chat all about the ways culture is forming the way we think, live, and see ourselves as women. We talk about social media, comparison, modern feminism, motherhood, ambition, and what it actually looks like to renew your mind as a Catholic today. This episode is honest, thoughtful, and full of wisdom on learning how to filter the messages we consume through the truth of the Gospel instead of the culture around us.Follow Mallory on InstagramListen to the Gospel & Everything Else PodcastSubscribe to Mallory's Substack------Episode Sponsors:Catholic Counselors - Live the abundant life God has created you for!
