Single devout Catholic man here so these topics don’t pertain to me at this point in my life and yet still… this whole talk was ridiculously spiritually beneficial
Why is it that the first thought which came to mind was… “Oh! It’s a unicorn!” May you be surrounded by devout friends, it seems such a rarity.
What a kind comment, David! I'm so glad it resonated with you. Thanks for taking the time to let us know!
@@emwilss you’re very welcome. Shared it with my brother and his wife who are expecting their first. Shared it with all the single women I know, both Catholic and Protestant. The little things that advance His kingdom 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Recently widowed and this episode brought so many good memories of the 36 years of the Sacrament of Matrimony my husband and I shared. Praying for our adult children to experience God’s deep love.
@David same here, same here! Better understanding others, who are honestly sharing their life struggles and solutions, is often beneficial!
Just listening to this now…I just want to thank you for your comments about those mommas that had c-sections. All of my children (9 of them) were delivered via c-section. For years and years I struggled with the feelings of failure because I felt there was something wrong with me as a woman, wife and mother. And I don’t know when it changed, but at some point, I realized that I was grateful for medical technology, because without it, I would have died during my first delivery. So God has given me the gift of motherhood 9 times because of the marvel of medical advancement. I no longer feel “less than” because of this, instead I have been able to share my experiences with other women who might be experiencing a c/s for the first time, or are struggling with their own sense of failure. Motherhood, in whatever way God sees fit to bestow it upon us, is a beautiful, hard, blessed thing! So thank you for talking about this!!! And yes! My body is a testimony to the lives I have been privileged to bring forth!!
@Thea Oakley Thank you for sharing ❤ You're amazing! Congratulations on your 9 children and way to go for powering through those difficult times!❤
Oh wow 9 precious babies and 9 c-sections!!! I had my first via c-section last year and was devastated because I was sure it meant I would never have a large family, which has always been my heart’s desire. Do you mind sharing a little more about your 9 c-sections or any tips for having multiple surgeries? ❤️
Congratulations to all of you with your c-sections.
It's beautiful to bring life into being by any and all means.
I am going to describe failure to you, in a non-depressing sort of way. It's just a reality.
I suffered from infertility. All I ever wanted to be was a wife and mother. My mom had 7 kids, my grandmothers had 5 and the other 14! My only sister had 1 and never wanted anymore. Though my nephew came along 7 years after..ha!
Following years of fertility Dr's, I finally got pregnant naturally, at 29. But 3 months in I found out that it was ectopic. I was devastated. It felt like a bad joke. Removing the baby, leaves the same scar as a c-section. Eight months later I had a second ectopic in my remaining tube.
I was hit by a drunk driver on a big wheel when I was 10 years old, before it was against the law.
I may carry the scars that resemble a c-section, but I carry them with pride at this point.
I use to really, really feel like a failure! This thing that it seemed all women could do, with all my treatment, all my praying...I couldn't!
I have a son that I adopted at 25, who was 3 months old, who is now 36, and he is he light of my life.
I now ware my scars with honor. They are proof of the two children who hopefully will great me one day when I go to heaven. Pray for me that I can get there!
So good to hear you had 9! I was scared to death to discover I am pregnant with my fourth after my doctor warned me that complications arise after my 3 c sections! Good job mama!
@Rosie Girl Thank you for sharing ❤
Emily your response is so beautiful! I'm pregnant with our 4th (all boys) and at this point I also have a ready response to the "you've got your hands full" comment. I always say, "and my heart is full" with a big smile. It catches people so off guard.
It sure does! And reminds us all that children are such beautiful gifts!!
Emily mentioned in a video a few years ago that her husband liked to watch Pints with Aquinas and that’s what led me to Matt’s channel. Full circle moment!
Oh my goodness!! God works in mysterious ways! I came across Emily's channel for dating advice in 2018 as a young protestant Christian in college. Now I discovered this channel through my husband (we are both 24) because we are converting to become Catholics and he got me into watching/learning everything catholic! So surreal, she was the first gal I looked up to for marriage/advice, little did I know that I would be converting to Catholicism with my husband and watching her now as a married woman! God bless!!
Emily, wow!! I was nearly in tears as you were talking about being kept from the chapel. My oldest brother died from cancer a few months ago. A couple weeks before he died, I had seen him for the last time (we lived several states away). I had this overwhelming need to get myself to the adoration chapel at my church, it was around 10pm. I recognized the woman who was in the chapel, but because of the time the doors were locked. I had such a massive meltdown. At first anger, how dare someone keep me from this sacred place, when all I needed was to sit in His presence!? Then my thoughts went to… I hope her replacement doesn’t show up!! But then I thought, why this? Do I want to reward her with more time with our Lord? Then I realized, He is here with me… not just in this little chapel. So it still took 30 minutes to pull myself together, say a rosary for my brother, and another. Then, I remembered a 24 hour rosary garden that was much closer to my home. I drove there and realized I had done what I had needed, for the moment. But I carried such anger, frustration, sadness toward this lady who wouldn’t let me in the chapel. I had the chance a couple weeks ago to talk to her. Explain what had happened and how it had effected me. I forgave her, I understand it was a safety issue.
I pray that I never keep anyone from our Lord at any point in life.
I'm sorry this happened to you, prayers for you.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that! I’m happy for you that you could forgive that lady. Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing…
This is now one of my favorite episodes! Yes to everything Emily said about the stigmas surrounding birthing, motherhood, etc. I've had two unplanned c sections, both NICU babies, and people can be absolutely brutal. Also, my kids (1.5 and 3) LOVE Marcam. Thank you so much to Emily and her husband for venturing into the production of such a great show. Excited to see where it goes!
As a single catholic woman I absolutely love Emily videos ...make so much sense and give me courage to fight for my faith!!!
I am so glad! Thank you Analise!!!
Loved getting to listen to you Emily for a longer amount of time, you should definately consider doing longer videos or interviews like this because it was just so valuable 🧡
My sister and brother-in-law had one child and then adopted two more. If you want more children, you could always adopt. Some early Christians were noticed picking up discarded babies that were left alongside the road by other travelers.
I love Emily! I got off Instagram a little over a year ago, and her account is legitimately the ONLY thing I miss about Instagram. Thanks for having her on!
Ugh, I just love ya Emily. Thank you so much. Praying for you and your family!
STOPPPPPPP, I've been WAITING for this collab
Emily always comes across so genuinely and you can see how much she really loves God. Thanks for having her on!
Thank you, dear Lauren.
Favorite podcast of Matt's so far, really lovely. I never heard someone speaking so beautifully about C-section and changes of life. Really healing to hear.
Wonderful episode, really touched my heart 💓 thanks Matt and Emily!
Thanks for listening, Sara!
I 100 percent love this episode!!! I totally agree with what Emily is saying about C-sections. I just gave birth to my little baby girl, and had to have a C-section and felt like a failure because of the stigma that I hear in my Catholic community.
What a beautiful conversation! I low key cried all the way through🙈
Thank you dear sister in Christ! I am so glad it touched your heart.
I love this podcast and have been an avid listener for at least 3 years now (even introduced it to my non-Catholic husband who tunes in every once in a while). I have to say, along with Ep. 125 with the prayer for the wise ordering of one’s life at the end (which has radically changed my life in a very short time span), this is by far my favorite interview of yours. I have been reading God’s Glorious Girl to my daughter since she was days old, bought God’s Brave Boy for my nephew who is due in 9 days, and read I Choose the Sky years ago, before I was engaged. I LOVE Emily Wilson Hussem and of course Matt Fradd, and so many points in this conversation just really hit me in the best of ways. Thank you thank you!!!
What a special, thoughtful, and uplifting comment for me to read. Thank you so very much Sarah.
I was so touched that she connected the dots between C-sections and infertility. What solidarity!
Thank you so much for this talk! Several points really hit home. Emily can't wait to look up more of your content and share Marcam with my kids. Watched two episodes today and it's great!
Amazing! Love Emily! She has helped me so much over the years through her videos and posts 🤗💯❤💕
Even Our Ladys birth plan didnt work out but it was still so beautiful. ❤
I meant about having to give birth in a stable and away from home haha
@Deston Swan found the atheist edgelord
@Deston Swan go to the Muslim channels where they justify child marriage today. You’re needed over there.

Watching these interviews feels like Matt and his guests are seated with me in my living room.
Such a great podcast. Big fan of you two. Great crossover !
Thank you Matt! I loved this conversation! And I LOVE your channel! Thank you for EVERYTHING! May God reward you! God Bless you + Ave Maria
I looked at the feast days near my due date as well. Such a cool thing to do. My baby girl was born this August, near the feast of the Assumption. So special!
I'm so glad you are speaking openly about your birth stories. Mine was not what I expected at all and I'm so thankful that my husband and mother could be there with me, but it was still a very distressing. I'm so thankful for women that talk so openly about their birth stories. It helped me to talk about it openly. I've never had a C-section and what you shared was helpful for me because I'm high risk and I know it's a possibility (at least according to my doctor). You're also so right that women can be crazy judgmental about birth!!
Fun fact Emily's father is Thomas F wilson , who played Biff in back to the future.
I heard that Thomas had a reputation as a good man.
I’m a regular dude who loves Emily’s channel
Just such a wonderfully blessed conversation. What a great collaboration! 👍
Love this woman so much. I have looked up to her for a very long time. Sooooo glad she made it onto this show!!!
Great job, friends! Love to you both.
This is beautiful and I cried and just thank you
This was a beatiful interview! Emily was a lovely guest. I was glad to hear about all the female and motherhood related issues even though I am and probably will stay single, as these broaden my perspectives and I'm surely will help in interactions with my family members and friends. Also, it's always inspiring for me to see such beautiful, faithful people living catholic life and bringing a spark of goodness to local community and Internet. Thank you and God bless you!
I absolutely love how Emily puts things! 10/10
I don't know why I never thought of Emily being in PWA, but it happened! Wonderful conversation!
Thank you so much!
I've found it very helpful to ask the lord to loose the shackles if you're in pain. He's to merciful to say no to a humble request.
Another thing I have found helpful is not praying for my pain to be removed, but to offer to suffer the pain for reparation of the souls in purgatory, or for the conversion of sinners, and I pray for the strength and grace to persevere through the pain.
These are two people I highly respect. I thoroughly enjoyed the joy
And truth shared here. Would like to go to Stubenville one day. My wife reminds me of what Matt said about Cameron.
I am somewhat familiar with the "Catholic online community" and I am embarrassed to say that I have not heard of Emily.
So I am really looking forward to watching this interview!
God bless everyone! ⚘️
I am so thrilled to finally see you both together here! I appreciate you two so much and I loved being able to see more of Emily Wilson. I had asked her for advice once on Instagram and she lovingly answered me. I wish we could be friends! Thank you so much to the both of you for all that you do. So much of what you talked about spoke to me and has encouraged me to dive deeper into prayer to hear the Lord more closely. God bless you both.
Melissa, what a kind and thoughtful comment! I am so glad to hear this, hopefully we can meet in person someday!!

Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful woman. As a homeschooling SAHM of 3 I just have to say thank you for this conversation! It resonates with me on such a deep level! I might have to get on Instagram just to follow her 😂
Tabby, I'm so glad it touched your heart! Thank you for letting us know!
The approach to c-section is so different in Europe. I too had an emergency c-section with my first daughter (after 24h of inducing) but I had no problems with vbac for the second (although the birth was very long) and the third time (although third time was in the US and I had to fight for it). There are naturally different stories and reasons but I have seen so many people having all births by c-sections just because the first one was (which is mostly for the convenience of the doctors).
My favorite person! Love you Em!❤️
Thursday, I really like the videos that talk about parenting little kids!
I am 75 years blessed and I am learning as I go. Aging is not quite what I expected.
I definitely don’t think women should be shamed for having had a c-section-I’ve had a natural birth, a c-section (twins) and then a natural VBAC. I do, however, think it’s very important for women to know that there are many things they CAN do and choose ahead of time that will dramatically lessen their chances of a surgical birth (that aren’t just “mind over matter”). For Catholic mamas I love the book Made For This, which is a wonderful starting point for understanding the medical vs midwifery models for birth. Thanks for a lovely interview, both of you. Ps. We also got married December 30!❤
What a beautiful testimonial ❤
Wow how timely the discussion of C-section. Been struggling with my first more now that I’m pregnant with baby 2. Lots to come to terms with and pray on
That’s such a hard place to be. My first was a c-section. I scheduled another with my second because my doctor wasn’t confident about a VBAC. But my third was a VBAC that went really smoothly. You have options, and definitely pray about it ❤️ No shame in having had a c-section. It doesn’t make you a failure. I didn’t know other women felt this way, because I did not. I’m sorry if you’ve experienced this! I’m thankful that c-sections exist so that my son could be here with us.
"An appropriate self-confidence." Love it! Goals. ❤
Me in labor...honey, I'm in serious pain, could you please rub my back? Him...I can't, my back hurts. Not a joke, even if I wish that it was. All of you ladies without supportive husbands, that is another pain that you can offer up. Jesus loves you, even when you feel alone.
❤️
Terrific interview! Emily is refreshing and authentic and Matt was funny. I had several laugh out loud moments. Regarding the children's media venture, No judgement, but I suppose in an ideal world, it would be great if children were able to totally avoid TV screens. At least having good Catholic options is a definite plus. I truly enjoyed this interview.
I completely understand where you are coming from and do not take offense! Thanks for your kind remarks! In an ideal world we definitely would not have children on screens but because they are, we want what is on those screens to enrich their hearts and minds as we are enriched by content like Matt's here on YT!
Matt Frad and Emily Wilson. Yay!
THIS IS ALL SOOOO GOOD
Thank you

Goodness, and now to the "ending engagement" section! I wished so badly I had ended my first engagement before marriage. There were two glaring red flags the month before our wedding, and even the night before, but I was so wrapped up in not being the bad guy. Wish I would've had the balls.
Woah! Thomas Wilson was in an episode of Psych, which is my favorite TV show of all time! It all connects…
I got to meet her at the Hallow Summit in July. She's a remarkable woman. Also she has the voice of an angel.
What kind words. Thank you so very much, Josh. Wasn't that an amazing event? So glad you got to attend!!
@@emwilss It was a wonderful event Mrs. Wilson. The Lord blessed me with the privilege to attend last minute. I still have the notes to your Power of Prayer talk. I pray that you and your family are healthy and well.
omg no way my favorites
Finding your passion *IS* self-care.
I’m just catching up with this now. I am older (67) Can I move to USA! Steubenville sounds sooo good! I live on a small Island 7x5 so tiny 100,000 population. It’s called Jersey and it’s between England and France. We are the same as everywhere else and are losing priests. We are now down to 2 priests, our Exposition has now stopped! We had the Little Sisters of the Poor here but they have now left so we now have no nuns on the Island 😢. I am feeling so sad about the whole state of our Church. I do know that God will never leave us and I do trust him. I am so sorry for this rant 😊. God Bless you and your family.
Watching this while wearing my Emily Wilson pink Amen Hallelujah sweatshirt! ☕️ 💕
Emily, I’m so sorry that you experienced shame after your c-section. I understand how it can feel when people within your community don’t support you. I had two c-sections myself but thankfully never experienced shame (though people made comments, of course). I was a little disappointed to hear that you felt that the insensitive comments all came from the “crunchy” community. I don’t doubt that some shamed you, I received that as well, but I also received a ton of love and support from my “crunchy” friends, who helped me navigate my births and find a provider to support me in having a VBAC with my third baby. None of my dear friends ever made me to feel like I “failed.” Sometimes our bodies don’t do what they’re supposed to, it’s true, and that’s okay. Illness and death weren’t part of God’s original design for our bodies, either, and everyone will still experience those. We didn’t fail, we just live in a fallen world.
What is a crunchy friend?
@@Kim-gg3yz “Crunchy” is a term people use to describe people who are concerned with “natural” health choices. I’m honestly not sure where the term came from 😂 But it describes the type of people who have homebirths, eat organic produce, make sourdough bread, and probably don’t wear shoes 😂
So a tree hugger - got it. lol @@meganpata9033
My husband and I got married in April of 2020 and we were supposed to go to Spain for our honeymoon! Needless to say, that didn’t happen and I am so unbelievably thankful we didn’t go do that. Our little honeymoon to flagstaff Arizona was much better and more relaxing than international travel would’ve been.
Oh goodness, we also did our honeymoon in Flagstaff, married Oct 2020. Would not have done it any other way!
loved the part about resistance
finished Matthew Kelly's Resisting Happiness not long ago
36:46 😮💨😮💨I’ve had those questions and that pain of 8 yrs of not even getting pregnant then miscarriages to now I’m giving birth in a couple weeks thanks be to God 😭prayers to all the women out there who’s having these thoughts and questions 💔my heart is with you
I hope it went well and you and your child are safe.
Thought she was gonna go into an ad for air conditioners but then I remembered this isn't the Daily Wire 🙃
Great conversation

100%, with Emily Wilson Hussem
Thank you
we had the opposite experience, a couple stopped us ( husband, me and 2 kids) as we waited for a bus and asked if we were going to stop at just 2 kids, we told the we were open to as many as God would send , not sure of their response, and they responed that's great! Have as many as you can! They had only 2 as the culture dictated and both died and now they had no one....
“Imagine having your liver removed then they give you a baby to go home with.” haha I’m laughing so hard 😂😂
But that’s basically how it feels after having a csection!!
Men don't have an issue with comparing, I was competing in sports competitions and I was always avidly trying to compare myself to others, the bizarre mindset of women thinking that happiness comes from stopping comparing themselves is not only alien to me, but incredibly harmful to themselves. Comparison is a logical tool, if you start hating that logical tool you got one less tool in your skillset, and guess if it makes you more or less logical as a result.
The "feels over reals" in these types of interviews makes me physically angry. Dealing with hyper emotional women like this in the work place, at Church, or in school is Hell on earth.
Comparison *can* be beneficial, but it can also be sinful. Her struggles are different than yours, no need to be uncharitable about it.
@@meganpata9033 What I said may appear harsh, but it's not, it's just neutral, so it may sound cold, because it cold logic, which is an necessary ingredient for human life. Humans have to reason to live and comparison is a tool for reason. Hating comparison is hating knowledge and perhaps having a problem with jealousy, comparison is not the problem here. Think about it, say you have a failing business, do you think it's intelligent to avoid comparing yourself to your competitors? You are just likely to fail more due to a lack of intel and then the problem will just get worse.
My two favorite people on UA-cam in one Video 😍😍
God has wonderful plans- and a sense of humor. I unfortunately ended up with a csection on my first birth and then have had 4 more via csections. For #4 we knew we were having a little boy and had already picked his saint-inspired name. When I was nearing the end of pregnancy I asked when they would call to sked my delivery and my Dr was upset cuz it should have already been sked. So he had them call me the very next day and I had hoped to make it closer to my due date but she said they only had one day left and that was the day. So we booked it and moved on. A couple weeks later I came across an entry about the saint in a book and lo and behold- his feast day was the date I was forced to choose! So my son was able to be born on the feast day without even planning it. I told everyone I knew about God's little wink!
Emily, how did you and your husband meet?! Thank you for your ministry! 💜
She has videos in her channel telling the story
That’s so funny how Emily mentions not wanting to have a baby on Halloween, my mom was the same way with me😂 I was luckily born October 30th so I missed it by one day 😂
:)
I would not be here today also, if Cesareans did not exist! I had severe preeclampsia. Baby is now 20 and in college! All Glory to God!
God bless you

Dear Neil - I would like to provide constructive feedback (given in love so hoping it will be received in love) to Matt Fadd (but not on a public comments box) - is there a generic email a/c that I can use? God bless, Janet
Thank you! You can get a hold of him at assistant@mattfradd.com
I think the reason for the shame is that you know you would have died if not for modern medicine, which makes one feel 'less than' or inferior.
I want to start off by saying I enjoy watching Mr. Fradd's videos, and especially his recent interview with Michael Lofton. Also, it doesn't look like there's anything problematic in this interview. However, I think it is worth mentioning that in the content for women on her channel, Mrs. Wilson-Hussem sometimes comes across as having a negative view of men. Out of charity, I'll assume any apparent negativity is entirely unintentional, and she only wants to safeguard the welfare of her female audience. But it does seem to me that she is leading women to believe that they should not look at men as generally trustworthy, but rather require men to "prove" themselves as such to be worthy of dating them. Certainly, we must all be prudent while getting to know a potential spouse, but such a "hermeneutic of suspicion" that automatically ascribes a negative motivation to a person's words and actions where such an intention is not expressed or clearly evident does not seem very charitable to me. I think as Christians, we should generally try to assume the best of others unless we have a solid reason to conclude otherwise.
Any advice to help my kids “battle” atheists?
