About this episode

In this episode, for the first time ever, we answer questions submitted by our listeners! We answer questions like: How have we healed in our identity as mother, daughter, sister, and bride? How to handle the pressure of people relying on you for spiritual improvement? How to cultivate a life that reflects beauty? How to heal from childhood sexual trauma? How has our faith evolved over the different seasons in our lives? The difference between being too nice and choosing mercy? And more! 

 

Heather's One Thing - Her daughter's art and the beauty of Catholic artists building each other up and rejoicing in the talent of others. 

Heather's Other One thing - Tammy Peterson's Rosary Testimony 

Sister Miriam's One Thing - Sausage, Potato, and Kale Soup

Michelle's One Thing - All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr and the new Netflix series based on the book
