    <description>Inspired by Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati’s mantra, “to the heights,” this podcast uses the charism of Frassati's care for the poor and vulnerable to highlight people who are reaching to the heights in their own lives.  Host Olivia R. Colombo takes her background in environmental activism and social justice to introduce listeners to people who are making positive change in the world–– activists, religious, journalists, youth ministers, artists, social workers, and everyone in between.

  <itunes:subtitle>One of Olivia's closest friends swings by the show again (after her first appearance in the third-ever episode of TTH!) to chat about her experience as a youth and teen activist.  You'll hear what Olivia and Sarah wished people knew about being activists and public figures so early in their lives––what they learned, what they're grateful for, what went wrong, what they got fired up about, and what they wish others would know. </itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;After previously chatting with a youth minister and then the president of Students for Life of America, in this episode we sit down with 18-year-old Sarah Ryan to hear the authentic perspective of a Catholic teen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sarah is a teen activist, passionately involved in youth tobacco prevention, and she is a faithful, youthful Catholic–– and one of Olivia’s closest Catholic “sisters in Christ.”  In this episode, we chat about how her prayer supports her activism, how she prays, her high school journey (spoiler alert: she’s joining me at BC next year!), and what the life of a youth activist actually looks like.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What did you take away from listening to Sarah Ryan’s story of reaching to the heights? Let us know @ToTheHeightsCTV!&lt;/p&gt;
