What does it really mean to be a woman—and why has no one taught us?

In this episode of the Chris Stefanick Show, Chris sits down with January Donovan, founder of Catholic Feminine Formation, for a wide-ranging and deeply practical conversation about what’s been lost—and what’s possible when women are truly formed.

January brings nearly 30 years of experience helping women live out their God-given genius, and she pulls no punches. She unpacks how feminism—despite some early goods it sought—ultimately robbed women of their femininity, their faith, and their family. And she makes a compelling case that the Church now has an unprecedented opportunity to offer the world something better: a new model of womanhood rooted in Our Lady.

This conversation will challenge you, inspire you, and give you real, practical tools—whether you’re a woman seeking to thrive, a husband who wants to better understand his wife, or a parish leader wondering how to serve your community more deeply.

In this episode:

• Why the “fragile femininity” of 150 years ago and today’s “vicious feminism” are both failures—and what comes next
• What John Paul II’s “feminine genius” actually means in everyday life
