Jesus Business, Sister Julia Walsh talks with author and speaker Laura Kelly Fanucci about how she discovered her vocation to write about the intersection of parenting and faith, as a new mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It became a spiritual practice for me in those new years of motherhood, to just reflect on where I was finding God or struggling to find God, in the challenges and the joys of parenting. and things kind of grew out of that and I think I came to find that this was my life&#8217;s calling,&#8221; she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laura also shares her story of grief and loss as a parent and how it strengthened her and her husband&#8217;s connection to Holy Mystery. And Laura and Sister Julia discuss how the mess can help us support one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a call from this loss and grief for me to be in a different way with other people and with God,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT THE GUEST:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laura Kelly Fanucci is a writer and speaker who has spent over a decade working on the theology of vocation.
