Here is a collection of talks and podcasts featuring Auntie Leila.
The newest talks:
The ladies from Freed from Feminism interviewed me — video here — (it was before the Fr. McTeigue interview but I didn't have the link so I'm putting it here). We talked about the problem with feminism, the impossibility of rehabilitating it, and how to detox from it. And more! Great interview!
Fr. McTeigue interviews me on whether abortion is the premier moral issue of our time. There was some technical difficulty, so things get a little iffy at times. However, I do get my main thoughts in! At the end, there wasn't time to get to the point of my little story, but I will tell you here that the priest I was speaking of was open to learning more. We the laity need to hold the priests and bishops to the moral law.
Fr. McTeigue interviews me on whether the US Conference of Catholic Bishops should be abolished.
At Holy Rosary in Portland, Oregon: Living the Liturgical Year in the Home — talk plus Q & A afterwards. Although I do speak on this topic a lot, I think you will find I have a bit of a different approach to it here (it being Lent and all):
Leila's interview with Mary Harrell on Mater Dei Radio.
Leila on Journey Home with Marcus Grodi, talking about her conversion:

Liza Johnson says
I listened to Part One of the talk at St Michael’s and found it so rich–I have listened to it twice in fact. When I tried to listen to Part Two, it was only Part One again. Should I email St. Michael’s or do you want to? I really want to hear the rest. thank you so much for this blog; it continues to help in my formation–

Leila says
Thank you, Liza! I didn’t realize that — I try not to listen to myself 😉
I will check into it.
Thanks so much for listening!
Jessica says
Hi Leila!
Do you know if they recorded your talks at Our Lady of Walsingham last year? You were such a treasure to listen to, and I would love to hear it all over again.
Thank you!
Helen says
re: cardinal rigali center, part II praying in the home I was listening with great interest to this talk up to the point where your mentioned JPII theology of the body, about the 30 minute mark, when the podcast abruptly stopped. Is there some way to access the rest of that talk? Many thanks.
Leila says
Helen, I will try to look into it — it’s hard to get all the various formats uploaded and kept in good order! Sorry about that!
Christina A says
I second Helen’s motion! The talk says it’s only 29 minutes, but you’re clearly in the middle of a thought when it ends. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful talks!
