Summary
What does it mean to embrace the feminine genius in today’s world? In this inspiring episode of the Anchored with Purpose Podcast, Melissa sits down with Catholic publisher and educator Heidi Bollich-Erne, founder of The Better Part Journal, a beautiful new print journal created to elevate the voices, experiences, and intellectual contributions of Catholic women. Heidi shares the powerful story behind the journal’s name, including the dream that inspired it and the connection to Mary of Bethany choosing “the better part” at the feet of Jesus. Together, Melissa and Heidi dive into topics like the feminine genius, women’s voices in the Church, slowing down in a noisy digital world, discernment, creativity, faith-filled leadership, and following the call God places on your heart. If you’ve ever felt a holy discontent, sensed God calling you toward something more, or wondered how your gifts can serve the Church and the world, this conversation will deeply encourage you. ✨ Ready to build a simple daily faith routine?
