In today's fast-paced and chaotic world, finding a sense of peace can seem like an impossible task. However, it is possible to cultivate a rich interior life that allows one to maintain their peace regardless of what is happening around them. This means developing habits such as mindfulness, prayer, and self-reflection that help to ground us in the present moment and provide a sense of clarity and calm. Hosts, Karen Doyle and Von Hosking are joined by guests, Fiona Smith and Stephanie Sullivan MGL, to navigate and break down this topic further.

Fiona Smith is a nurse and leader in the Disciples of Jesus community who is passionate about empowering laypeople to take an active role in the church and the world. Stephanie Sullivan, on the other hand, is a novice with the Missionaries of God's Love Sisters and has a passion for helping young women flourish in the knowledge that they are loved and cherished by God. Through their work and example, Fiona and Stephanie remind us that true peace comes not from external circumstances but from within ourselves.

It is important to remember that we have the power to cultivate a rich interior life that enables us to maintain our sense of peace, regardless of the chaos around us. We can all cultivate habits and practices that can help us find peace and clarity amidst the noise. From mindfulness and prayer to self-reflection and humility, this conversation promises to be a valuable resource for anyone seeking a more peaceful existence.
