In this episode of Whiplash, we sit down with Nancy Sylvester, IHM, whose life spans the reforms of Vatican II, decades of Catholic social justice leadership, and a profound commitment to contemplative practice. Nancy shares how contemplative prayer can ground us amid uncertainty, help us navigate conflict with greater clarity, and sustain the long work of transforming our communities and our world.

Drawing from her years in religious life and national leadership, Nancy offers a vision of contemplation as a practical tool for personal and social renewal.
