Meet your hostess:

Hi! I'm Claire. I'm a writer living in the Milwaukee burbs with my Polish husband and wiggly baby. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!) in 2013 and spent two years as a missionary with FOCUS inviting college women into a relationship with Jesus before moving back home to the northern tundra.

Now, I spend my days writing. As an author of books for both kids and grownups, I’m able to tell stories that point people towards hope. To learn more about me and my writing career, you can mosey on over here.

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, Catching Foxes, How-to Catholic, The Jennifer Fulwiler Show, Girlfriends with Danielle Bean, The Catholic Hipster Show, and Pantsuit Politics. The podcast completed its run in 2020 when I launched our newsletter, Letters From a Catholic Feminist.

I also have the honor of leading women on trips to really cool places, like France and Poland. You can learn more about our pilgrimages here.

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?
