In my first edition of "Fiction Fridays", I chat with Catholic children's author Maria Riley. She has an amazing, inspiring story of motherhood that includes pregnancy, birth, loss, and adoption. Plus, it inspired her to write a book series called "Adventures with the Saints."

Today I'm talking about the final novel in my trilogy, The Hope We Vow. It's about a young-ish woman (she's 35) named Sadie, who's trying to figure out the vocation God is calling her to. Her story spans continents, convents, and a couple of male suitors. I hope that other women who are discerning their vocation will find comfort and encouragement in Sadie's journey.

Today I'm talking about my first novel, The Love We Vow, which I self-published in March. What's it about? (A young woman goes to confession and realizes the priest is her ex-boyfriend...dun, dun, dun!) And why did I write it? I'm going to answer those questions today. It's available in ebook and paperback format. I hope these books accompany you in whatever season of suffering you're in and tht they ...

Fellow Catholic author Andrea Bear joins me today to talk about how the death of her mother eventually led her to writing her first novel, Grieving Daughter's Club. We talk about:

• how the death of her mother affected her 
• what support looked like during the grieving process

• how she found a publisher for her book after getting rejected originally 
• abandoning our t...

Catholic life coach Christina Brown is here! We talk about her journey to becoming a Catholic life coach, the effect it's had on how she views the world, why our goal isn't to be happy all the time, and why intentionality and spontaneity aren't opposites, and how she schedules out her week to integrate her six kids' and husband's calendars. 

She's the newest coach at Made for Greatness! If you want to get coached by Christina, you ...

Catholic health coach Jessica Castillo is on the line! We talk about her conversion to Catholicism, her time in the military (she is so brave!), the integration of our physical health with our spiritual and mental health, the role of virtues in our health journey, and the power of being intentional in our food choices. Victoria also opens up about some of her food and sleep struggles. You will be so happy you listened!

Maybe you've seen his creations - a full Catholic church made out of legos! John Kraemer, the creator of the Lego Church Project, joins me to talk about how he uses his gifts to glorify God and how no matter our state in life, we can all do the same! This was an eye-opening, humbling conversation for me about what it's like to have a disability.

Today, I'm talking with Katie and Andrew Laflamme about the FIRE (financial independence - retire early) movement and personal finance from a Catholic perspective. Katie & Andrew met as missionaries and now have a baby girl with another baby on the way!

Let's talk more investing! Catholics can also consider Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) funds. These are not specifically designed according to the USCCB investing guidelines, but it's very similar. 

Here are some of the most popular fund families to check out:

1) Inspire Invest ETFs. Full disclosure, I own BIBL in one of my retirement accounts. 

• BIBL: Inspire 100 ETF

If you want to start investing as a Catholic and you're wondering what your options are to do so, this is the episode for you! 

There are no publicly traded companies that brand themselves as Catholic. So to invest in a Catholic socially responsible way, you have to find companies that fall under the criteria of the USCCB's investing guidelines. Luckily, multiple companies have already done this work for you!

What is financial interdependence? First of all, it's not  specifically a Catholic term (aka not from the Catechism or the Bible); rather, it's a way of thinking that I invite you to consider. It's an acknowledgment that even if we're so-called "financially independent" (aka, don't have to work to pay bills) or "financially dependent" (aka, we rely on someone else to pay bills), we're all actually financially interdependent. We all...
