This week\\u2019s episode:

\\u201cBlessed are They\\u201d: St Joan Delanoue

\\u201cAmong Women\\u201d Guest: Ellen Austin

This week I talk about the power of conversations that can lead to conversion, as in the life of St. Joan Delanoue, a French businesswoman-turned-founder-of a religious order. Joining me in conversation today is Ellen Toole Austin. Ellen is a wife, mother, catechist, and creator of a comic strip online, also known as a web-strip, who shares not only shares her faith, but also has a remarkable knack for seeing life through the eyes of children through her heroine of \\u201cGracieland\\u201d.
