Lisa and Deacon Joel also host their own podcast, and Lisa is no stranger to radio. She writes regularly for Catholic Stand and CatholicMom.com. After meeting Lisa at Edel last summer, I was thrilled to talk to her again
I’ve been doing an awful lot of podcast recording and not a lot of podcast publishing this spring. (But did you see the special episode with my husband, Michael, that I just published? I think you’ll enjoy it!) My season of life is full to the brim with all of my babies and blessings, and it’s taken me a while to realize that I can’t keep up with everything, to
It’s taken me way too long to post this great interview I did last fall with the wonderful Lisa Hendey. It’s just that we bought a house and then we moved and then came The Holidays and then came The First Trimester and Life Happens, you know? 🙂 What’s the really, really lovely news, though? Can you say, “bonus episode”?! While you are anxiously waiting for my new weekly
My cutie-pie Texan friend Amanda Perales joined me for this episode, where we talk about the treasure trove of practical wisdom and inspiration that are the saints! Amanda is a Catholic wife and mother of two little boys, and she blogs (often about saints) at Erring on the Side of Love. We start off the episode diving into the who, what and why of Catholic
There isn’t a title that does descriptive justice to this episode of The Right Heart. Guest Sarah Denny knocked this one out of the park. We cover the history of feminism, the struggles and inequalities faced by women through the ages, authentic femininity and masculinity, modesty, the bioethics of reproductive technologies, and how there isn’t one specific formula of right choices that go into being a wonderful
Two years ago today I posted this. This little baby doll was 17 days old: A lot has happened in two years. So much change. So much life. So much tough.

Other than that, though,
Lisa Schmidt of The Practicing Catholic is back for Episode 27 of The Right Heart, and my interview with her has become one of my favorite episodes of podcast. (Lisa’s first time on the podcast was in Episode 17: Restoring Your Fertility to God as a Couple). In this interview, Lisa and I have an inspiring, enlightening, and at times brutally honest conversation about our own struggles with what “resting”
Where to begin? Since I last posted, I’ve hobbled painfully through the end of an exhausting pregnancy and navigated the first three weeks of having a newborn. We are now a family of seven, with five children 8 years old and under. Here is our new baby.:) Aidan David was born on November 14th at exactly 39 weeks. I had actually scheduled an induction for
This is the second part of a long, wonderful conversation I had with Jenny Ryan of Mothering Sunshine. (You can listen to the first episode here.) This episode is packed with tips, tricks, encouragement and resource ideas! Spiritual books, websites, audio CD resources, and family devotions and habits that we have enjoyed using for ourselves and our kids The realities of trying to figure out when, where
I love my house. After two years of living with my parents, I’m so thankful to have a home of my own again. And I’m amazed at how much I love about this wonderful gift of a house He was preparing for us. Honestly, I struggled for a little while to let myself receive His abundance in this home. I had worked hard on not making an idol
