The final episode!

116 episodes, 76k+ downloads, and we’re calling it a day.

Thank you sincerely so much to everyone who has listened, written in, and shared this podcast over the years. I'll continue writing on Substack and may even have new podcast projects in the works, so please follow along there to stay in touch: https://bornofwonder.substack.com/

Also, if you email me (marquettekatie@gmail.com) a list of all the references/voices you hear in the Born of Wonder introduction (and don’t google!) I’ll send you a bottle of holy water I collected myself from a well in Ireland. :)

[just the first three people, it’s not magical refilling water, at least I don’t think so…]

Thank you sincerely for listening and sharing this podcast over the years. I hope it has given you wonder and delight and reminded you that it is a beautiful world we live in (truly) -

“we make idols of our concepts but wisdom is born of wonder.”

On this podcast episode Katie and Haley discuss her two new books, focusing in particular on the Catholic Imagination (what exactly is that?), the sacramental reality of the world, and how reading a good story can change your life. We also dive a little bit into some of the more unfortunate online discussions re. women that have been circulating lately and how limiting they are. Instead of boxing ourselves into narrow images of womanhood and motherhood, Haley and Katie discuss the ways we can open our minds and hearts to the many beautiful ways of being a woman in the world.

Highly encourage you to check out Haley’s books (they would make the perfect Christmas present!) and follow along with her work. Thanks again to Haley for coming on the podcast!
