Reclaiming Beauty & Identity with Chantel Howard - 04/23/2026

On this episode of Catholic Women Now, hosts Julie Nelson and Chris Magruder sit down with Chantel Howard to explore the beauty, dignity, and formation of young women through her initiative, the Catholic Finishing School. Inspired by a desire to restore authentic femininity in a culture often confused about identity, Chantel shares how her program equips girls ages 14–19 with confidence, virtue, and practical life skills rooted in Catholic teaching. From etiquette and communication to deeper formation through Theology of the Body, Scripture, and the lives of the saints, this program offers a holistic approach to becoming the woman God created them to be. The conversation also touches on the importance of beauty in daily life, the role of mothers and mentors, and how families can foster meaningful conversations about identity, worth, and purpose. Chantel also shares exciting opportunities, including a pilgrimage experience for mothers and daughters. ✨ Learn more: https://catholicfinishingschool.com Listen Live · Program Schedule · Our StationsLINKSYou can follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Tiktok!
