Hi friends,

After more than 500 episodes of Girlfriends (I still can’t believe that number myself!), it feels like the right time for something new. I’ll be taking a short break from the podcast—but on October 15, I’ll be back with a brand-new series: Grace Unfiltered.

This is going to be different from what we’ve done before. Instead of weekly advice or short interviews or reflections, Grace Unfiltered will be an 8-part series of longform interviews with women who’ve walked through really hard, messy, and very real life experiences. Together we’ll discover the ways God’s grace showed up right in the middle of it all.

Their stories are raw and powerful, but also deeply relatable. You’ll find yourself nodding along as they share both the extraordinary and the ordinary moments of grace that remind us we are never alone.

Here’s how it will work:

* 🎧 Audio: Beginning October 15, episodes will drop weekly in the Girlfriends podcast feed, just like always.

* 🎥 Video: Full episodes will also be available on Substack.

* ✨ Bonus for paid subscribers: A companion journal + bonus podcast episodes where I dive deeper into the themes we’re uncovering together.

The main series will always be free. But if you’ve been blessed by Girlfriends and want to support me in creating meaningful content for Catholic women, becoming a paid subscriber is a beautiful way to do that. Your support means this work can continue—without ads—and with even more depth and value for you.

I can’t wait to share Grace Unfiltered with you, starting October 15. Until then, make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss the first episode.
