I enjoy listening to your podcast as often as I'm able! Thank you!

Your thoughts on femininity are refreshing. I wish we could sit down for tea and discuss it all!

Is anyone else wondering why they EVER gave money to Catholic Charities or Catholic Relief Services?! I’m appalled by what I read here.

We haven't for decades :(

From now on, I’m going to contact our pastor, find out who in our parish needs what, and give through him. These salaries of those CEOs are much more than mine…and I’m a doctor. Sickening.

It's tricky though! Here is one priest's take (he's a CPA by the way) when people were worrying about supporting the chancery that was shutting everything down: https://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/appealing-to-better-angels-pastors/'

Thank you for those articles; I can’t see myself restricting a gift like that. I think I’ll stick to giving locally, and very specifically.

Yes! This is just sickening to discover. How many of us have sacrificed to send what little we can only to find out how little of it actually went to people worse off?

Leila, over the past few years your work has helped me detox from being a career woman in favor of leaving my career behind and embracing my role as housewife and mother. I am so glad you’re speaking the truth on femininity, and I am thankful for all the advice you have to share in the name of the collective memory. Every young woman needs to hear this. And listening to you and Phil converse with each other is a delight…my husband and I look up to you both. God bless you ❤️🙏🏼
