Haley Stewart’s Catholic guide to living simply. Ep. 79

I’m sure I am not the only city dweller who sometimes fantasizes
about putting in my two-weeks notice and escaping to a dude ranch
in Wyoming or an organic pumpkin farm in Nebraska (or wherever they
grow pumpkins). The ever-increasing rent, the dirty, dysfunctional
subway, the nonstop noise and pressure to not just keep up but get
ahead—it all makes me question why I moved to New York. Well this
week’s guest Haley Stewart and her husband did drop out of the rat
race and move to a farm (without flush toilets! with three young
kids!)—but she thinks you can build a simpler and more intentional
life in the city or the suburbs, out in the country or right on
campus. We ask Haley about her escape from the “throwaway culture,”
how to pray through drastic life changes and why she loves Molly
Weasley (yes, that Molly Weasley). In Signs of the Times, Pope
Francis gets invited to North Korea, but his favorability is
dropping in the United States. The synod on young people is
underway at the Vatican, the Nuns on the Bus are back on tour and
Lady Liberty may get a West Coast (Catholic) counterpart. As
always, you can keep in touch via our Facebook group and Twitter
@jesuiticalshow or emailing us at jesuitical@americamedia.org.
