Five Podcast Episodes to Download If You're Traveling This Holiday Season
Whether you’re logging hundreds of miles to see family you haven’t seen for what seems like ages, or you’re just taking a short drive down the street to spend time with a small group of friends this Christmas, a little bit of car time is perfect for catching up on podcasts.
Whenever I’m taking a drive, I love listening to conversations on a huge variety of topics. I always enjoy the conversations I have with Joseph on our drives to and from family after we listen to a podcast together.
Wondering what to tune into during your holiday drives this week? I’ve queued up five episodes of Letters to Women that came out in 2020 that are sure to get you thinking about the feminine genius in a new way.

A Letter to the Woman Reclaiming the Title of Homemaker
The holidays can bring back all sorts of memories of home. And those cozy Christmas lights and soft holiday music can inspire you to think about what kind of home you’d like to create, too.
In this episode of Letters to Women, I sit down with Dr. Carrie Gress and we talk about the beauty (and theology!) behind the idea of home. But we also talk about homemaking, which is a concept that can sound a little outdated at first glance - don’t worry, we get into that!
If you want to be intentional with the type of home you create not just during the Christmas season, but all year round, this episode is for you!

A Letter to the Woman Discovering the Feminine Genius
Is the feminine genius just a buzzword we toss around in conversation? Or does it mean something so much deeper that can impact our every day life as Catholic women? If you know me, you know I’m a firm believer that understanding the feminine genius can help us become the women the Lord made us to be.
In this episode of Letters to Women, I visit with Melissa Maleski and we talk about what Saint Pope John Paul II meant when he wrote about the feminine genius, and what he meant when he called women “sentinels of the invisible.”
Whether you’re familiar with the feminine genius or just starting to explore what it means for your daily life as as Catholic woman, this episode is for you!

A Letter to the Woman Who Thinks She Isn’t Worthy of Wearing
Oh holiday outfits. Whether it’s a holiday Christmas party or Christmas day Mass, there are plenty of chance to dress up for the season. But if you find yourself shoving that dress or pair of earrings to the back of your closet because you don’t think you’re worth that outfit, this is a great episode to dive into.
In this episode of Letters to Women, I sit down with Nicole Caruso and we talk about the origins of Nicole’s #WorthyofWearing challenge on Instagram - and why self-confidence is contagious! Since we recorded this episode, Nicole has even more news about the Worthy of Wearing book, which you can check out here!
If you have a drawer dedicated to clothes you might wear someday, this episode is for you!

A Letter to the Woman Discerning Who She Is
This year has felt full of discernment for so many of us. Maybe it was where to send your kids to school, or how to navigate working from home during COVID shutdowns. So much of what we thought was “normal” was called into question in 2020.
In this episode of Letters to Women, I sat down with Samantha Povlock and we talked about a brand new community that was born out of her authentic desire to connect women. We also talk about not letting perfectionism or a season of life hold us back from becoming the women God created us to be.
If you're in a season of discernment right now, this letter is for you!

A Letter to the Woman Embracing Her Cross
Even though Advent isn’t as penitential as Lent, it’s still a season where we recognize our brokenness and need for a savior.
In this episode of Letters to Women, I sit down with Therese Williams, a woman who inspires me with her beautiful, hopeful outlook on the crosses she’s been asked by the Lord to carry.
If you’re carrying a heavy cross as we enter into this holiday season, this episode is for you!
