Deconstruction, Motherhood, & Other Really Normal Things
Description
Friends, the podcast is back!
I took a little break from producing new episodes over the summer so that I could be present with my family, but I missed these conversations deeply and I’m thrilled to be returning to the studio.
Today I’m kicking off the season with Catherine McNiel who blessed me twice in the making of this episode. The first time when I actually had the conversation and the second time when I edited the episode. Shortly after, I sent her a quick email to simply say I love what you said.
And I think you will too.
Here are some thing we chat about in no particular order: seasons of doubt or deconstruction and normalizing them in the developmental journey of being a person of faith, motherhood as a spiritual discipline, what its like to co-write a book, the work of a hospital chaplain, and baby teeth as a metaphor for spiritual maturity.
Available now in the Substack app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
Here’s a few other ways you can connect with Catherine and her good, good work in the world.
* Her latest book that you need to read: Mid-Faith Crisis. Here’s a link to an excerpt that I released on WHTH earlier this year.
* Her motherhood book that we chatted about in the episode: Long Days of Small Things: Motherhood as a Spiritual Discipline
