In this episode, Lindsy Wallace is joined by guest co-host and friend of the podcast Diana Oestreich in a conversation with Claire Swinarski of The Catholic Feminist Podcast to discuss the “F” word, as well as labeling ourselves and others.

In this episode, we:

• Learn The Catholic Feminist Podcast origin story;
• Unpack the definition of “feminist”; 
• Discuss the impacts of the feminist label in our current cultural climate;
• Learn how we love one another even when we label ourselves differently;
• Identify female saints and biblical mothers who can inspire us all!

Join us as we explore what it means to be a feminist, diving into what labels we claim and the good and bad that comes from claiming labels for ourselves and ascribing them to others.
