Filming With EWTN

And favorite content from this week

My co-president, Elise Crawford Gallagher, and I had the honor of filming two segments on Johnnette Benkovic Williams’ show, Women of Grace, on EWTN. As I write this, I’m still in Alabama, in one of EWTN’s guest houses, after a day of recording and touring the station. I’m pretty tired after the adrenaline rush of filming, so I don’t have much to say yet about it other than … What a joy and a gift to be able to share our mission this way! The shows will air on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at 1pm Eastern on EWTN (you can also watch online).

CatholicMom also published my latest article this week—about why I didn’t set New Year’s resolutions this year and what I’m doing instead.

Content I’ve Liked:

• Kerri Christopher
  wrote a great piece for Public Discourse—a great take on the much-discussed mental load.

• This article in Fast Company by Lilly Stairs, founder of the Chronic Boss Collective, had some great advice for businesspeople with chronic illness.

• This feature in National Catholic Register about a company that makes priest vestments was a fascinating look at the importance of beauty.

A Book I Enjoyed:

• Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss's Glossier, by Marisa Meltzer, was an entertaining and interesting story about Emily Weiss and her company. I did feel like Meltzer kept trying to make a point but not really making it, but if you’re looking for an enjoyable book about a businesswoman, I’d recommend it!
