#21 The Breakdown of Modern Love with Fr. David Garcia, OP
"To love is to will the good of the other." - St. Thomas Aquinas. I'm excited to share this conversation with Father David Garcia, OP on modern love. We chat about the 'handicaps' our generation faces when it comes to loving and how we can learn to love better & fuller.
#20 Embracing Traditional Motherhood at Age 24 w/ Jana Ann
I chat with my childhood friend Jana, who in 3 years has 1) dated then 2) married the love of her life and soon after 3) became a mum. All under the age of 25! Her story is about embracing her calling as a wife & mother amidst worldly narratives of "female empowerment" and Lean In culture.
#19 Emerging from Insomnia
Storytime from when I could not sleep for 2 months and was a perpetual zombie. But also learnt about the gift of rest and what it means to be poured into by others.
#18 Letting Go of Perfect
Things have been really rough of late and in the midst of imperfection, I am learning to accept grace.
#17 Pride and Forgiveness
You don't know you've been struggling with pride until it hits you dead in the face. Then comes forgiveness.
#16 Feelings Change, You Are Loved
Following on from the last episode, here's a more optimistic take: YOU ARE LOVED. Extracted from my most recent newsletter entry on 'Dear Sister in Christ,'. Check out it at annabellesienalim.substack.com
#15 Feeling Unloved
I thought this pic of a wistful and sad corgi (his name is Mango) in this episode's display art would best encapsulate how I felt recently.
#14 My Season of Singleness
My season of singleness, its epic failure and learning to surrender control.
#13 Loneliness
I chat about my struggle with loneliness and figuring out what real intimacy looks like.
#12 "Why I No Longer Trust My Heart At 24"
In this episode, I read from a diary entry written after excavating my Wordpress blog from the early 2010s. I also share a bit about my faith journey. Spoiler: I conclude that my heart cannot be trusted.
