Of Sound Mind and Spirit - Podcast for Catholic Women

Of Sound Mind and Spirit is a Catholic podcast for women navigating mid-life, spiritual growth, and seasons of transition.

Hosted by two sisters, Lisa Henley Jones and Shelly Henley Kelly, this podcast offers faith-filled conversations, Catholic teaching, and practical spiritual formation for women who want to grow deeper in their relationship with God. Each episode explores topics like prayer, discernment, identity in Christ, letting go, and finding purpose in mid-life.

If you are a Catholic woman asking “What now, Lord?” — whether you are an empty nester, experiencing life changes, or seeking a deeper prayer life — this podcast is for you.

Through honest conversations, storytelling, and real-life faith, we reflect on how God works in everyday life — strengthening our minds in truth, steadying our hearts in faith, and deepening our spiritual lives.

This is more than a conversation — it’s a space for Catholic women’s formation, encouragement, and spiritual growth.

Grow in faith. Deepen your prayer life. Walk with purpose in every season.
