Love: An Audio Diary

"To love is to will the good of the other." - St. Thomas Aquinas.

I'm excited to share this conversation with Father David Garcia, OP on modern love. We chat about the 'handicaps' our generation faces when it comes to loving and how we can learn to love better & fuller.

I chat with my childhood friend Jana, who in 3 years has 1) dated then 2) married the love of her life and soon after 3) became a mum. All under the age of 25! Her story is about embracing her calling as a wife & mother amidst worldly narratives of "female empowerment" and Lean In culture.

Storytime from when I could not sleep for 2 months and was a perpetual zombie. But also learnt about the gift of rest and what it means to be poured into by others.

Things have been really rough of late and in the midst of imperfection, I am learning to accept grace.

Following on from the last episode, here's a more optimistic take: YOU ARE LOVED. Extracted from my most recent newsletter entry on 'Dear Sister in Christ,'. Check out it at annabellesienalim.substack.com

My season of singleness, its epic failure and learning to surrender control.

I chat about my struggle with loneliness and figuring out what real intimacy looks like.

In this episode, I read from a diary entry written after excavating my Wordpress blog from the early 2010s. I also share a bit about my faith journey. Spoiler: I conclude that my heart cannot be trusted.
