2. The real risks behind “affirming care”
3. How parents can protect their kids

Bunni shares her journey from working in congressional politics and running for office to launching Christians Engaged, a ministry dedicated to mobilizing believers to pray, vote, and engage in public life from a biblical worldview. The conversation then centers on America Reads the Bible, a week-long public reading of the entire Bible in Washington, D.C., in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. Hosted at the Museum of the Bible, the event will feature national leaders, pastors, worship artists, and public figures reading Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.

Gen Z Summit, Sophia is Speaking at

In this powerful and honest conversation, host Sophia Lorey sits down with speaker, seminary student, and advocate Noelle Fitchett to unpack one of the most pressing conversations facing Christian women today: marriage, singleness, calling, and cultural pressure.

Together, Sophia and Noelle dive into:

1. The rise of the “tradwife” movement — and where it goes right (and wrong)
2. The secular “boss babe” narrative — and what Scripture says about ambition and work
3. Common Christian myths about marriage and singleness
4. The lie that marriage is a reward for godliness
5. The truth that singleness is not a punishment
6. What it really means to be faithful in the season God has you in

As two Christian women navigating their mid-20s and beyond, Sophia and Noelle speak candidly about unmet expectations, the “ring by spring” culture, and the pressure many women feel to hit certain life milestones on a specific timeline.

They remind listeners that:

1. Marriage is not the ultimate purpose — Christ is.
2. You are not incomplete without a spouse.
3. God’s promises are about salvation, not a wedding date.
4. Both singleness and marriage are tools in God’s hands.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “behind,” wrestled with cultural extremes, or questioned where you fit as a Christian woman in today’s world — this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and biblical truth.

Sophia breaks down exactly what happened at the recent California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) meeting, the powerful press conference held outside, and where the battle to save girls’ sports currently stands. You’ll hear firsthand from female high school athletes who are courageously speaking out after losing opportunities, safety, and fairness as males are allowed into female sports and locker rooms.

This episode also covers:

1. Why CIF claims their “hands are tied”—and why that isn’t true
2. The role of Bylaw 300D and how it undermines Title IX
3. Two state legislators who showed up to defend girls—and one who didn’t
4. Emotional testimonies from athletes, parents, and advocates
5. The growing movement demanding accountability from CIF and California leaders

These girls should be focused on school, sports, and graduation—not fighting bureaucrats for basic protections. Instead, they’re standing boldly for truth, fairness, and the future of women’s athletics.

This is more than politics. It’s about dignity, safety, and the right of girls to compete on a level playing field.

Together, Sophia and Faith unpack how modern feminism has shifted across its waves, ultimately leaving many women confused, discouraged, and disconnected from their God-given design. Faith walks listeners through the origins of the feminist movement, explaining where early legal victories gave way to ideological extremes that now undermine women, family, and truth itself.

The conversation then turns toward biblical femininity not as a rigid checklist or cultural trend, but as a heart posture rooted in surrender to Christ and grounded in Scripture. Drawing from women throughout the Bible, including Deborah, Sophia and Faith highlight how Scripture affirms women as strong, wise, courageous leaders who flourish when they live in alignment with God’s design rather than cultural pressure.

Listeners will also hear a clear breakdown of common misconceptions surrounding submission, marriage, and womanhood, as well as a thoughtful critique of both radical feminism and the modern “tradwife” movement. Faith explains why neither extreme reflects the full biblical picture and why femininity is not limited to marriage or motherhood, but expressed faithfully in every season of a woman’s life.

The episode closes with a powerful reminder: femininity is not a burden, weakness, or form of oppression. It is a gift. Sophia and Faith encourage young women to reject the lies of feminism that demean womanhood, embrace biblical truth with discernment, and find joy, freedom, and purpose in the way God uniquely created them.

In Episode 62, Sophia is joined by attorney Brittany Jones, President of Kansas Family Voice (https://kansasfamilyvoice.com/about/), who was inside the courtroom as the justices grilled attorneys on the meaning of sex, equal protection, and what Title IX was always meant to protect.

Together, they break down the two cases—Little v. Hecox (Idaho) and West Virginia v. BPJ—and explain why the legal questions matter far beyond those states. Brittany walks listeners through what it’s like to attend Supreme Court arguments in person, what stood out from the bench, and why the court’s questions often hint at the next cases already coming down the pipeline.

You’ll hear reactions to some of the most striking exchanges, including pointed questions about defining sex and whether separating sports by sex is “discrimination”—and why the stakes aren’t theoretical for female athletes. Sophia and Brittany also connect the moment to state-level fights (including California), and explain how a strong ruling could shift the pressure back onto legislators in states that still refuse to protect girls’ sports.

Sophia explains the background of each case, what the Supreme Court will be considering, and why the oral arguments on January 13th could have nationwide implications—including for California. She also shares heartbreaking firsthand accounts from female athletes impacted by these policies, updates listeners on the ongoing fight for girls’ sports in California, and previews upcoming advocacy efforts, rallies, and future podcast episodes breaking down the legal arguments in plain language.

• Pro-life conviction: why she spoke at March for Life and partners with life-affirming companies
• Practical encouragement: scripture that anchors her, guarding your home as your first “arena,” and raising teens with truth and love

Host Sophia Lorey sits down with three teen athletes—sisters Alyssa McPherson and Madison McPherson, and their teammate Hadeel Hazameh—to unpack why they’ve filed a Title IX lawsuit against the California Department of Education, CIF, and their school district, alleging violations at Jurupa High School. Joined by Jessica Tapia of Advocates for Faith & Freedom, they describe how policy played out in real time: competing alongside and against a male athlete in girls’ volleyball and track, locker-room moments that left them stunned, alleged butt-tapping and mocking comments about female anatomy and periods, a warm-up hit to the face, and the devastating choice to forfeit a senior season rather than accept what they believe is unfair and unsafe.

Jessica outlines the legal plan—including efforts to block AB 1266—and what “true Title IX compliance” means for current and future female athletes. Whether you’re a parent, coach, or student, this conversation shows the human cost behind headlines—and the courage it takes for teenagers to trade a season for a stand.

In this candid conversation, the Shaws describe how they learned a male player would join the women’s roster, what actually happened in the locker room, and the on-court injury risks they witnessed—including a point-blank spike to the face that showed the reality of male athletic advantage.

They also share how team dynamics shifted once they voiced concerns, why coaching staff and administrators failed to protect their athletes, and what led them to file a federal Title IX complaint. The result? Two young women stepping away from the sport they love rather than surrender their convictions.

Host Sophia Lorey connects their story to a wider pattern across California and the nation—from middle school P.E. to Division I—calling leaders to safeguard women’s sports and spaces. Madison and Gracie offer practical encouragement to girls facing similar situations: tell the truth, stand firm, and know you’re not alone.

For the first time, the two 8th grade girls who led the protest—and their moms—sit down with This is a Woman Podcast host Sophia Lorey, for an exclusive conversation. They share what it felt like to speak at the school board meeting, why they organized the walkout, and how they’re responding to a controversial district policy that labels girls’ basic privacy needs as “mental health” or “religious” accommodations.

This episode captures the courage of ordinary students and parents who are unwilling to stay silent. It’s about protecting girls’ innocence, dignity, and safety in California schools—and why sex-based privacy still matters.

In this eye-opening episode of This is a Woman, host Sophia Lorey sits down with Heidi Olson, a Certified Pediatric Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, founder of Paradigm Shift Training and Consulting, and leading voice in the fight against child exploitation.

Heidi brings over a decade of frontline experience, having performed and reviewed more than 1,500 pediatric forensic exams, many related to trafficking.

The neurological impact of pornography and its addictive nature

How porn consumption can affect romantic relationships and intimacy

The increasing normalization of violence and exploitation in online content

Real cases from emergency departments where pornography played a role in abuse

What parents and communities can do to protect children

It breaks my heart to see the distress among women who believe they have lost fundamental freedoms. Not because they're correct, but because they've been misled by pervasive media narratives.

My disappointment stems from the high regard I have for women. We are resilient, brilliant, and more than capable of achieving greatness in any endeavor. Women’s strength, intellect, and beauty are unmatched, and it’s painful to see these qualities undermined by believing misinformation instead of doing our research.

So tune in...let’s talk about “our rights being gone”….

People are shouting on social media that women will not get miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy treatment in states that have strong abortion ban laws. Although this is simply not the truth. Dr. Bowers explains how these three all are different - note abortion is the intentional ending of a life, miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies are not.

Dr. Maralee C. Bowers is a board certified family physician practicing in Northern California. She works with local pregnancy resource clinics and the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline. She graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, with honors, and received her M.D. from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. She continued her medical training in the family medicine residency program at Hinsdale Hospital in Illinois, and then moved back to her hometown to practice. She is one of the few remaining family physicians doing house visits for homebound patients as well as general primary care in office. She is also a mom of five kids, ages 7 through 21, and the wife of a Catholic Deacon. She believes that faith and science are the bases of truth; one cannot exist without the other.

Olivia was told in her class that all "thoughtful proposals submitted on time will receive full credit," yet then received a failing grade. The professor informed Olivia that "this is a solid proposal. However, the terms "biological women" are exclusionary and are not allowed in this course as they further reinforce heteronormativity. Please reassess your topic and edit it to focus on women's rights (not just "females") and I'll re-grade." Olivia chose to stand against the removal of her free speech.

• Erin's returning to her faith in college
• Her story of going from pro-choice to working in the pro-life movement
• The importance of friendships with people who share your beliefs, as well with those who don't!

Graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 2018, with Phi Beta Kappa Honors, Erin received a Bachelor's of Arts in Political Science with minors in International Affairs and Security Studies. During her time at UNH, Erin, who formerly held pro-choice views, returned to the Catholic faith which prompted her curiosity to research the truth of abortion. By the end of her college career, she fully accepted that life begins at conception through research and prayer.

After becoming pro-life, Erin began to engage with her local pro-life ministry at her parish in Virginia where her passion grew to dedicate her full-time job to the movement. In just 3 years after changing her mind, Erin joined the March for Life Education and Defense Fund in June 2021 as the Director of the State March Program, overseeing the growing state march program. She has grown State March Program to include 8 State March for Life events in 2023, with plans for even more in 2024. Prior to the March for Life, Erin's background included work in government affairs, state-level advocacy, and major event planning.
