”What is a Woman’s Role?” with Noelle Garcia (Part Two)
Tuesday Jul 25, 2023
Tuesday Jul 25, 2023
We continue our conversation with Catholic speaker and musician Noelle Garcia to talk about what it means to be a Catholic woman—this time zooming in to our vocations as wives and mothers. There are a lot of strong opinions out there on where women belong... should they work outside the home, what does it mean to be submissive to your husband... and these can be controversial topics! The primary questions we must ask are “What is God’s will for our family?” and “How can I serve my family with joy and generosity?”

In today’s episode we sit down with Noelle Garcia, a wife & Mom who serves as the Director of Catholic Programs for EQ Saints, to unpack the gift of womanhood and how we as Catholic women can embrace this gift and live it joyfully.
