Becoming Well Read ft. Marcie Stockman

If you’re a busy Catholic feminist, you probably feel like you’re juggling 19 balls in the air. Maybe you have kids, or a career, or both, or a graduate degree, or you’re trying to get in shape, or you’re volunteering in your neighborhood, or your leading an action council at your parish, or-or-or…

Finding time to read? Impossible.

Not so, says today’s podcast guest. Marcie Stockman is the founder of Well-Read Mom, a set of resources for busy women looking to fit more great books into their lives. As a life-long reader, I loved chatting with Marcie about why books are so essential in our lives, how she finds time to read, and how to decide what to read if you’re feeling like you can barely keep your head above water. Get your library card ready—you’re going to be pumped to add to your bookshelf after today’s chat!
