If you've hung out in Catholic circles long enough, I'm sure you've heard the phrase "sanctify your work." It's the phrase at the heart of The SundayMonday – where we're striving to live our faith at work, with joy and boldness. But what does it really mean? That's...

Apologies for the later newsletter this week, just an intern out here trying to do my best at work and also bring my best to you all 🙂 ​ This past weekend's Gospel is one of my favorites. I especially love the way that the Lord speaks about the heart of the Father: ​...

Hello and welcome back to the newsletter! After three weeks of crazy travel from Dublin to Milan to Venice to Rome back to New York to pack up and move to DC (and then head to Santa Barbara for the weekend), I'm so glad to be back at the keyboard writing this...

Hello, and happy Tuesday! ​ As you read this, I'll be landing in Dublin, Ireland to spend a week with one of my best friends who is living there for med school! From there, I'm heading to Milan for a week for a class on the "business of fashion," and then to Venice...

Hello my friends, Today is a HUGE day! The project I've been working on for almost two years is finally here – introducing my book, "Now What?! The Young Catholic Adult's Guide to Being Bold in Faith, Work, and Life in the Real World." This book has been a labor of...

Hello my friends, ​ I'm so thrilled to be back! It's been too long 🙂 ​ I hope you're doing well and embracing the joy of the Easter Season! I had a few wild weeks of travel in April, turned 27 (yay!), and celebrated Easter with my family back in California. This...

Lent begins tomorrow! Which means that, for the next six weeks or so, this newsletter will transform into our annual Lenten retreat. Every Sunday evening (starting Sunday, March 6), we'll explore another way to live out this season at work. As a newsletter subscriber,...

Can you believe that Lent starts NEXT WEEK?! It's crazy. So... what are you giving up? ​ This period before Lent is always an interesting one because there are often lots of ideas swirling around. Should I give up Instagram? My airpods? Videos? YouTube? Once I start...

Hey friends! Buckle up because this week's newsletter is going to get real. ​ This weekend's first reading convicted my heart so deeply – how often do I turn to human counsel, the internet, podcasts, and Instagram before I turn to the Lord? Am I spending the same...

Hello friends, happy Tues! ​ Today I want to talk about something that usually (read:always) makes me a little sweaty: having hard conversations. I don't like to let people down, I hate disappointing others, and I do not love rocking the boat. But having hard...

**Trigger warning: suicide** ​ I have written and re-written this newsletter at least five times. I didn’t send it out yesterday because I still didn’t feel confident in what I had to say. But I don’t want to let perfect be the enemy of the good, so here we go. ​ The...

One of the coolest virtues is magnanimity – literally translated, it means "bigness of soul." ​ Whereas pride is using our gifts to glorify ourselves, Magnanimity is using our gifts to glorify God. It's taking our strengths and passions and interests and offering them...

Happy Tuesday my friends! Don't have a long reflection for you this morning, just a few things on my mind and in my prayer: ​ God has us exactly where He needs us to be – right here, right now. When we rest and rejoice in that, we can find a depth of peace that only...

Happy New Year friends! We are back to our regularly scheduled programming over here, and I'm delighted to have you. ​ It's a brand new year, which is such an exciting time. New goals, new dreams, continuing to write "2021" at the top of my journal pages... there's...

Can you believe we're just TWO days away from Thanksgiving?! This year is just flying by – I'm blown away. ​ Not only are we approaching Thanksgiving, but Advent begins THIS Sunday! This year on The SundayMonday, we're doing something a little different. We're going...

This week's newsletter and podcast episode are nice and related, so I'll keep it short and sweet up here so you can enjoy the 12 minute episode in its entirety! ​ Recently, I've been feeling so reactive. Instead of planning out my weeks and days, I'm responding to...

 A few months ago, my friend Bridget shared something so profound on an episode of the podcast. She said “sin is a distortion of a longing for a good thing.” I’ve been thinking about that a lot, especially lately. ​ A good longing to be seen can so easily be distorted...

One of the most dangerous lies of the enemy is that we’re alone; that we’re the only one feeling a certain way or struggling with a certain hurt.⁣ ⁣   ​ It’s this lie that causes us to withdraw from our sources of joy, from communities that love us, and from...

I still so vividly remember Jennifer Fulwiler’s talk at SEEK 2014 in Nashville, and especially the words above. She talked about how easy it is to get wrapped up in what other people think of us, so much so that we can find ourselves distracted from reality because...

"Joy is the net of love by which we catch souls." - Mother Teresa ​ Whenever I share The SundayMonday with a new friend, the first question is "Wow, how do you share your faith in the workplace?" Many people tell me that they feel uncomfortable or unsafe about...

Yesterday was Labor Day in the US, a day taken to rest and reflect on the dignity of work and the human worker in our culture. ​ I love thinking about the dignity of work – the goodness of this invitation to partake in God's creative action as members of the...

Last week, I went on a three day silent retreat at a beautiful home on the Long Island Sound. ​ But I almost canceled it (more than once). ​ I almost canceled this retreat, that I scheduled months ago, precisely because I knew that this time of transition was going to...
