The Catholic Feminist is a place for women looking to be inspired, informed, and intentional.

Newsletter

Letters From a Catholic Feminist is a bestselling Substack newsletter with over 10K subscribers. In a sea of clickbait articles, bite-size content, and an utter lack of nuance, it’s time to dive deeper into what we’ve learned as Catholic feminists. 

Podcast

From 2017-2020, the Catholic Feminist Podcast interviewed over 100 women on how they were living out their call as women in the church.

Pilgrimages

I’m not a travel guide. I’m more of a travel buddy who reminds you to bring a water bottle. The Catholic Feminist Pilgrimages are experiences for Catholic women seeking community and embodied travel experiences.

 

Meet your hostess.

I’m a writer living in small town Wisconsin with my Polish husband and three littles.

In 2017 I launched the Catholic Feminist—on International Women's Day, no less. I was tired of arguing over spaghetti straps instead of dealing with the real issues women face in the Church and the world at large. I've also been featured as an expert on all things Catholic Feminism on EWTN, The Jennifer Fulwiler Show, Girlfriends with Danielle Bean, Pantsuit Politics, and many other media outlets. The podcast completed its run in 2020 when I launched our newsletter, Letters From a Catholic Feminist.

I eat a lot of burrito bowls, spend way too much time on Instagram, and cry over Humans Of New York posts. Sometimes I dance to Beyonce to make my son laugh. Sometimes I convince my husband to go on shopping sprees for clothes to donate to undocumented immigrants. I pray a lot, and I'm still figuring it all out. Wanna join?
