E60 - Rachael Killackey from Magdala Ministries to Discuss the Other Half of the Room: Women, P*rnography, and the Road to Healing

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2145333/fan_mail/new] We talk a lot about men and p*rnography. But what about the woman sitting three rows back in the same parish, carrying the same secret, with nowhere to turn? And what about the betrayed husband who just discovered his wife is the one struggling? In this episode, Steve sits down with Rachael Killackey, founder and executive director of Magdala Ministries and author of Love in Recovery, to have an important conversation. Women struggle with p*rn too. And the way they struggle, the way they hide, and the way they heal is not the same as men. This episode is for the woman who needs help and hope. It's for the betrayed husband who just found out his wife is the one struggling. And it's for every priest and counselor who wants to serve the whole room, not just half of it. In this episode we cover: * How Rachael founded Magdala Ministries and why she chose Mary Magdalene as its patron * Statistics on women and p*rn * How shame hits differently for women, including what often happens when they bring this to confession * Women's pathways into p*rn, including visual content, erotica, hookup culture, and the growing threat of AI * How women heal * The core wounds beneath the behavior and what men and women actually share at the root * Betrayal trauma when the roles are reversed, what the betrayed husband experiences and what he needs Episode Timestamps: * 01:12 — Saint of the Day * 04:13 — Meet Rachael Killackey * 05:52 — Founding Magdala * 07:30 — Why Mary Magdalene * 09:22 — Women and P*rnography, The Reality * 10:51 — The Statistics on Women's Use * 12:23 — Shame and the Confessional * 17:05 — Breaking Isolation Together * 20:26 — Women's Hook, Imagination and Erotica * 22:46 — Prayer as Rewiring * 23:45 — Hookup Culture and Its Fallout * 26:30 — Culture, Access, and Normalization * 29:53 — How Women Heal * 32:29 — Mary, Surrender, and the Path Forward * 35:20 — The Core Wounds Beneath the Behavior * 37:26 — When the Husband Is the Betrayed Spouse * 43:35 — What Magdala Ministries Offers * 45:22 — Love in Recovery and Words of Hope About Rachael Killackey: Rachael Killackey is the founder and executive director of Magdala Ministries, the first Catholic ministry of its kind specifically for women healing from sexual addiction.
