Have you ever felt like God is nudging you toward something that makes absolutely no sense on paper—when you’re already maxed out, overwhelmed, and barely holding everything together?

In this episode of the Persistence in Prayer Podcast, I talk with author, podcaster, and autism mom Heather Gaffneyabout that holy place where obedience and overwhelm collide. Heather shares her story as a domestic violence survivor, breast cancer survivor, and autism advocate, and how God led her to start the Warrior Words podcast and begin a Catholic nonprofit to build a home for semi-independent young adults on the autism spectrum—even when the call felt impossible.

We chat about:

• How to tell if it’s really God’s will or just your own idea
• What discernment looks like for overwhelmed Catholic women
• The fear of failing “in public” and who we’re really afraid will see
• Why a simple prayer routine (morning, midday, evening) can anchor your whole day
• Scriptures that steady us when the next step feels too big (Joshua 1:9, 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18)

If you’ve ever prayed, “Lord, I can’t do one more thing,” this conversation will encourage you to keep saying a small, honest yes—right in the middle of your real-life limits.
