The podcast is back this week for a very special annual episode!! Erica and I are chatting all about 2025 and sharing our words / hopes / dreams for 2026 - hopefully it's an encouragement to you as you pray through how God has moved in 2025 and wants to move in 2026!

Join Erica and I for our annual word of the year announcement for 2025!! This is my favorite annual episode, I hope you enjoy! Links for things we mentioned: Pope Francis' book On Hope " Why your story makes it hard to hope " podcast Pope Francis "C'est la Confiance: St. Therese of Lisieux"

Popping on to share a quick (holiday themed) story I heard about discernment! I hope you have a blessed Advent and very Merry Christmas! To catch up on the weekly newsletters from the SundayMonday, head to our website at www.thesundaymonday.co

Inspired by a tough season at work, I've been thinking a lot about how our call to be set apart as Christians impacts our lives and relationships. The Lord calls us to be salt and light – but how can we do that even when we're feeling overwhelmed and frustrated at work? Today I'm sharing a little bit about what I've been walking through at work and what the Lord has been showing me through it!

It's been a hot minute, friends, and I'm popping back in with a little "what the Lord is teaching me lately" episode! I always love asking people this question, because I love to hear about and learn from what's working for them. So here are four things that I've been loving lately.

My girly is back and we are here with all of the updates on our words of the year, and just a little chit-chat about how 2024 is going so far. We talk about how the Lord is always working – especially in the quiet seasons, and share some little joys and stories from the year so far! Enjoy :)

One of the trickiest feelings to face is overwhelm, and it's so tempting to grasp for control and quick fixes to organize our lives in a way that feels easy and manageable. But what if there's another way? This week, I'm so excited to have Andy Hickman, founder of Hēl , on the podcast! We talk all about true freedom, what organization really looks like, and the importance of play. Enjo...

Summer is here!! And this year, I've been completely captivated by Psalm 23 and what it says about rest, trust, and God's nearness. This week, let's pray and reflect on Psalm 23 together!

One of the marks of adulthood is having to make decisions - and often, they're hard ones! So much of the stress behind making these decisions is the fear that we're going to make the wrong choice – but what if we didn't have to worry about that? In this episode, I'm sharing five lessons I've learned about making hard decisions (some of them right, some of them wrong) and what G...

Let's do it: it's time to talk about the elephant in the room. What's the deal with Catholic influencers? Is there such a thing? And who should we really let influence us? In today's episode I share some of my thoughts on influencing and faith and how I respond to wild things that are said by others in the media and beyond.

Holy guacamole... 100 episodes!! I cannot believe it. 🥹 On today's episode, I'm reminiscing on the past 3.5 years and 100 episodes, and how grateful I am for this community and all the encouragement I've received to keep going. Thank you thank you!! Here's to 100 more! Links mentioned: Fr. Mike Commencement

This week's episode is all about the saints! In 99 episodes, I can't believe I haven't dedicated an episode to the saints yet (whoops). We'll talk a bit about why Catholics have the saints, what our relationships with them can look like, and then I'll share the stories of three of my favorite saints and how they came into my life! Here are some of the resources I mentioned in t...

We are blessed with three-peat guest, Katie Mittel, to talk about one of our very favorite people: St. Joseph! And what better day to have this conversation than on his feast day, March 19. Katie and I both have devotions to St. Joseph, and in this episode we share how he has interceded in our lives, and how his incredible virtue and holiness inspires us to grow in our faith, hope, and charity. Al...

This is the Lent of the Surrender Novena, and we love to see it! Why is it so popular? My hypothesis is it's because many of us struggle with three major enemies to surrender: perfectionism, activism, and control. For each of these stumbling blocks, we'll discuss the temptation, jump into scripture, and pray one day of the surrender novena corresponding to the struggle. The best way to fig...

We're back for a new season, and since we're almost to 100 episodes, I wanted to take the opportunity to share what the SundayMonday looks like: both back when it began in 2021 and how it looks today! I share behind the scenes of the podcast, newsletter, website, and answer all your burning questions about my feelings on Instagram. Enjoy!

My girly Erica is back and we're reflecting on 2023 (and our words "abundance" and "providence") as well as sharing our words for 2024!!

Advent is here - our very own liturgical season of waiting. So what better time to talk about how we can grow in trust of God while we wait? Life is full of waiting seasons, and we often just flow from one into the next, so it's good to grow in the muscle of trust. In this episode, I share three things I've done that have helped me SO much in growing in trust!

I am SO excited to share this episode, a conversation with my new friend Adele who is such a beacon of beauty, joy, light, and holiness! Adele and her husband Ben have eight kids, ranging in age from 2 months to 16 years old, and her insights on womanhood, motherhood, friendship and prayer are so good. I can't wait for you to be as inspired by her as I am! Some of the things we referenced: Ade...

Join me in a little guided meditation this week! This is one of my favorite ways to pray when I'm struggling to settle down into prayer, and I know that with Thanksgiving this week we'll all be moving around a lot, so hopefully this is helpful for you too!

As we prepare to embark on the beauty and busyness of the holiday season, I wanted to pause to reflect on our common belief that our time is our own. Every moment of our lives is a gift freely given by God who is wild about us and wants our good! Are you being a good steward of that time? In this episode, I share reflections from St. Therese, St. Francis de Sales, and C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Let...

I've officially been back in DC for a little over two months and wanted to share some of what I've been learning in this time of transition! I share some of what God has been teaching me about making friends, surrendering my plans for His, and giving myself grace in a time of unknowns.

In faith and life, one of the toughest struggles we face is our desire to be in control. It sometimes feels like we just can't help it – we grasp and fight and do everything we can to get what we want, or to make things happen. But God has so much more for us, and He wants to free us from this exhausting (and fruitless) fight. This week, I'm sharing three things that have helped me loosen...

This one has been in the cooker for a while, and I was so glad to have my bff Erica Carnohan join me for a wide-ranging conversation about surviving a breakup. We covered all sorts of topics, including how you know when it's time to end a relationship, how to choose virtue and lean on God in healing, getting "through" and not "over" the breakup, and finding great joy in the...

I can't believe we're wrapping up our Fruit of the Spirit series! This has been so much fun for me – and I hope for you too. I can't think of anyone better to close us out. My dear friend Kendra Diaz is here today, and she's giving us all the secrets to living a life of strength and gentleness. Enjoy!

Courtney Taylor is here and today we’re talking all about love!! What is love? How do we define it and live it, especially in a world that seems to distort the meaning and purpose of true, self-giving love? Courtney shares so much wisdom and encouragement for all of us who desire to love others and God well!
