E166: The Truth About Babies, Big Families, And Happiness w/Catherine Pakaluk

Is overpopulation truly a threat to society, or should we be more concerned about the U.S.'s declining population growth? Does having more children lead to greater happiness? Today, I sit down with Dr. Catherine Pakaluk, Professor of Political Economics at the Catholic University of America, to explore these questions. Rather than focusing on those choosing not to have children, Catherine shifts the spotlight to women who defy the trends—mothers of large families.In this thought-provoking discussion, we delve into what drives these women to grow their families, the surprising ways babies can contribute to mental health and healing, and an unexpected take on the link between resources and population growth. Join our growing Locals community! https://lilarose.locals.com/  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865   A big thank you to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!

E164: Is Woke Culture Dead? w/ Isabel Brown

How did Gen Z women vote in the recent election? Are we witnessing a shift toward conservative values among young people? On today’s podcast, I’m joined by Isabel Brown ( @theisabelbrown) —author, cultural commentator, and advocate for free-thinking youth. Together, we explore why the liberal narrative framing abortion as empowering failed to resonate as expected this election cycle.We also discuss the millions spent on woke celebrity endorsements that missed the mark, signaling that young people are beginning to reject the mainstream culture’s hollow propaganda. Join Isabel and me as we examine the cultural shift and reflect on the setbacks faced by leftism's poisonous ideologies. While there's still much work to do, this election dealt a blow to "woke" culture—something worth celebrating.Looking ahead, we dive into the next phase of the movement: reshaping the conversation and building a culture where abortion becomes unthinkable.

E163: American Privilege, The 4B Movement, And Real Empowerment

Are women oppressed in the West, particularly the United States? Is the new presidency going to take away basic human rights from women? Is the new 4B movement based on correct principles? Today I talk about the real plague that is causing so many women to suffer - the lost feminine identity and poor relationships with others. While I support one tenant of the 4B movement (no sex to men you’re not married to!), the overall sentiment is cynical and flawed. In this video I offer some alternatives to restoring peace and hope to men and women alike! *Live Action Truth About Sex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMoyUlHDKso&list=PLRCroccSjXWTKm2BUjdL_SIz_eDh7xCAF&ab_channel=LiveAction*Economics of Sex video: https://youtu.be/cO1ifNaNABY?feature=shared A big thank you to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!

E159: From Ouija Boards And Spells To Christ w/Nora Jensen

What was it like to be raised Wiccan? How do practices of the occult indicate the existence of a supernatural reality? What are the flaws in the occult and New Age philosophies and how is Jesus the answer to our deep longing for the unseen? Today I sit down with Nora Jensen, a former Wiccan who looked down on Christians. She shares her supernatural experiences while practicing spells with her parents, which left her with a lingering sense of caution and doubt about her childhood beliefs, ultimately leading her to convert to the Catholic faith. She discusses a mystical experience of receiving God's love during the exchange of peace at Mass and how it changed her life forever.Help support the show by joining our Locals community!

We discuss the various ways that one-sided emotional stories are used to promote progressive values on issues such as abortion, sexuality, gender, and immigration. We also talk about the recent trend of conservatives who are employing toxic empathy. I think you’ll enjoy this discussion! Listen to Allie's show:  https://www.youtube.com/@AllieBethStuckey/videos Help support the show by joining our Locals community!

Through God’s grace and a deep devotion to the mysteries of the rosary, he began to reclaim his life, discovering happiness and purpose along the way.

After receiving a heartbreaking diagnosis for their unborn daughter Grace, Andy and his wife fought against a corrupt healthcare system determined to push them toward abortion. This experience, along with other personal challenges, led them to create Crowd Health—a company focused on fixing the broken healthcare system. Every year, hundreds of thousands are driven into bankruptcy, and many are pressured to fund abortions and other immoral procedures.

BONUS: Debunking The LIE That Abortion Ban Caused Georgia Woman's Death

Today, we discuss viral lie claiming that Georgia's abortion ban killed a mother. The truth is- it's the abortion pill and medical negligence caused her death.Abortion pills killed Amber Thurman, as well as her twin babies. It is reprehensible to use a mother’s tragic and preventable death due to abortion to advance more abortions. Like suggesting putting out a forest fire with gasoline.Here's the truth: Amber Thurman was a 28-year-old mother who died from sepsis after taking legally obtained abortion pills. Abortion killed Amber Thurman. Abortion killed Amber's twin babies. NOT pro-life laws.After Amber Thurman discovered she was pregnant with twins, she sought out an abortion in her home state of Georgia. Because of the state's six-week abortion ban, Amber traveled to North Carolina and obtained LEGAL abortion pills.She was 9 weeks pregnant. At a North Carolina abortion facility, Amber took the first abortion pill and drove 4 hours home to Georgia where she took the second pill.It's unclear if she received any information about the risks of the abortion pill — including the risk or signs of sepsis due to incomplete abortion. The reality is that the LEGAL abortion pill lands 1 out of every 25 women who takes it to the ER for complications.Amber quickly started experiencing complications, including vomiting blood - but waited days before seeking medical care. When finally taken to the ER, it was clear she was experiencing sepsis - part of her babies still remaining in her uterus.Instead of performing a standard D&C for this clear emergency situation, medical staff waited, due to either training issues or other negligence. Amber Thurman died due to medical negligence after taking the abortion pill.ProPublica and abortion advocates are now LYING about Amber's tragic death, claiming the needed D&C procedure had been made a felony by Georgia's pro-life law. THIS IS A LIE.D&C procedures are NOT illegal in Georgia unless used to intentionally kill a child in the womb. Amber's twins had no heartbeat and were already dead from the abortion pills.__Support the show on Locals: https://lilarose.locals.com/  Learn and share the truth about abortion: https://abortionprocedures.com Check out our sponsor:We Heart Nutrition: https://www.weheartnutrition.com/ Get high quality vitamin supplements for 20% off using the code LILA.

E146: A Better Way To Battle Infertility Than IVF w/Dr Lauren Rubal

What is IVF? How much does it cost and what does the procedure look like? What if I told you there was a fertility treatment more effective than IVF AND 90% cheaper? While IVF is often seen as the go-to solution for infertility - it has profound moral and health issues. Restorative reproductive medicine is a powerful alternative - offering a holistic, moral, and cost-effective alternative to IVF for couples struggling to conceive. Today I speak with my dear friend, Dr Lauren Rubal, an OBGYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist who walked away from a lucrative IVF practice.

BONUS: Trump Might Lose If He Keeps This Up

I will be addressing the mission behind my recent VIRAL X posts about Trump/Vance's new abortion position, what pro-lifers should do right now, and how Trump can win in November if he changes course. My X Posts: https://x.com/LilaGraceRose __ Trump/Vance win zero votes by gutting the RNC platform on life, saying they support abortion pills and “reproductive rights,” and saying they would veto abortion bans. Pro-abort voters are already voting Harris/Walz. Trying to sound like a Democrat on abortion isn’t going to help Trump. It hurts him. It’s politically unwise and morally wrong. It would help Trump campaign to cut the pro-abortion rhetoric and instead say, “I will fight for life. Children are precious and worth fighting for. I will do everything to protect LIFE and help American families.” Many people would love to support Trump, but becoming like Democrat on abortion hurts him. __ If you don’t stand for pro-life principles, you don’t get pro-life votes. __ Check out our sponsors: Seven Weeks Coffee: https://www.sevenweekscoffee.com Buy your pro-life coffee with a 10% discount using the code LILA. Good Ranchers: https://go.goodranchers.com/lila Purchase your American Meat Delivered subscription today and get a free add-on of beef, chicken, bacon, or salmon!
