Summary
In this heartfelt episode, we welcome author, podcaster, and mom Suzanne Bilodeau to talk about her beautiful new book from Ascension, She Loved: Resting in the Beauty of Motherhood. Suzanne shares the inspiration behind the project—a deep desire to learn from seasoned Catholic moms—and how this collection of letters from 15 Catholic women offers wisdom, vulnerability, and hope for mothers in every season of life.
We discuss the power of female friendship, overcoming comparison, staying grounded in your vocation, and what it really means to be both a contemplative and an evangelist in daily life. This is a life-giving conversation you won’t want to miss, especially as we approach Mother’s Day.

| 1:05.7 | the podcast. Because I love recording the podcast. I've loved doing this for nine plus years at this point. I have loved it. But let's be honest, it's a one way street. I'm just talking into this microphone and you're hearing it later. I would love for us to be able to connect in real time.
