Welcome to the summer re-run series! Over the next few months, I’ll be bringing back some of the most loved episodes of the podcast. Sometimes we hear a message and it doesn’t fully sink in until months (or years) later.

We're kicking things off with one of the most-loved episodes of the podcast: my conversation with Sarah Swafford on what we wish we knew in our 20s. Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, or beyond, this episode is full of wisdom on faith, relationships, purpose, and becoming the woman God created you to be. Whether this episode is new to you or one you’ve listened to before, my prayer is that the Lord uses it to speak to your heart exactly where you are today!

In today’s episode, I’m sharing all about my recent silent retreat with the Sisters of Life, a little encouragement to go on retreat if you’ve been feeling the nudge, and some thoughts on trust and surrender that have been really on my heart lately. We also pray through the Litany of Trust together, chat about what the podcast will look like this summer, and I share a little hint about some exciting things coming soon! 🤍

Today I'm joined by Mallory Smyth to chat all about the ways culture is forming the way we think, live, and see ourselves as women. We talk about social media, comparison, modern feminism, motherhood, ambition, and what it actually looks like to renew your mind as a Catholic today. This episode is honest, thoughtful, and full of wisdom on learning how to filter the messages we consume through the truth of the Gospel instead of the culture around us.

This week I’m sharing a little solo adoption update and catching you up on where we’re at in our adoption journey! I talk through why we decided to work with an adoption consultant, what the process has looked like so far, all the paperwork/home study/training involved, and what the next few months could look like for us! And a really special Mother’s Day moment that felt like such a sweet confirmation of our call to motherhood through adoption!
