While Easter weekend has passed, the reflections and meaning of this date must remain in our Hearts and Minds. Grace is God's life within us and we want to remind you of this.
In this podcast episode, Maire and Siobhan discuss the credibility of Easter as seen in the early accounts of Easter in the Gospels and the disbelief of the early followers of Christ.
We explore the craziness of our Catholic faith whose crowning feast is man putting God to death and God's coming back to life. We discuss how that very central message requires unpacking among our peers. We explore the transformative power Easter can have on each of us and the magnificence of the Easter liturgy which we can reflect and pray about in the 50 days of the Easter celebration.
We invite you to engage in this dialogue to reflect on the transformative power of Easter in your own life. Though this episode was recorded during Lent, its message resonates far beyond the Easter weekend.

In a world where 63% of employees across 142 countries feel disengaged from their jobs, the quest for meaning in work has never been more crucial. Join us in this thought-provoking podcast episode as we delve into the inspiring journey of the world's happiest workers, guided by two powerful motivators: creating value and service.
The Problem With Meaning, David Brooks, New York TimesWork “Addiction” and the Christian Meaning of Work, Opus Dei website
In today's digitally-driven landscape, we'll explore how the absence of face-to-face interactions can challenge individuals in their pursuit of meaning at work. Our discussion is packed with insightful takeaways, including the exploration of core concepts such as values, the transformative potential of pivotal moments, and the liberating act of allowing yourself to pivot in your career.
Discover how investing your all in your work isn't always the path to a fulfilling professional life, and learn to follow your fear as a compass towards meaningful endeavours. As the renowned Jim Collins once wisely noted, "For, in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work."
Tune in to this episode and embark on a journey towards a more purposeful and meaningful work-life.

Why do we find it hard to commit. Is it because the dominant culture is one of choice and our infinite browsing skills have transmitted to life.
In today's podcast we explore why we have trouble committing to relationships, why we find it hard to commit to a career path and why we distrust organised religion, politics and any major institution. Why do we have low attention spans and low commitment spans? (If you find it hard to understand this phenomenon try browsing Netflix some evening - you will experience it - we are in this world too).
We discuss the 3 reasons why we find it hard to commit Fear of regret, Fear of association and fear of missing out, FOMO. We dig into key ideas from Pete Davis in his book “Dedicated” and we explore the idea of Master committers, that we yearn for - individuals who role play commitment in their everyday lives.Resources:

Many people think faith is naïve – childish – superstitious a pre- science space. The idea that science has replaced religion is often left unchallenged by believers.
In today's podcast we explore how science and religion ask different questions. Science is about the exploration of our reality, the world we can measure and observe. Science asks the what and when questions. Whereas religion explores the how and why questions. Nothing dependent within the universe can cause the universe. We discuss Peter Kreeft's defence of God from the stance of human desire. We explore human values we take for granted, originating in Judeo-Christian values of the dignity and equality of the person. We discuss the natural tension between reason - rationality and the reason of the heart or intuition and hope are needed in a journey of faith and both are deeply human.Resources:

Maire with Helen Hughes discuss how sometimes we are so task focused we don’t think of our purpose. We all have a unique purpose, individual to us only, we inhabit a particular part of the world at a particular time in history. We all have different personalities, identities, talents, temperaments, and cultural backgrounds.
Discovering your authentic self means devoting yourself to a lifetime of growth in self -awareness, realising your potential within the reality of your personal circumstances. This work session helps us to develop our own personal statement of strategy focusing on our Purpose, Values, and Action plan. Living an authentic life means being genuine, and true to our purpose.

What if instead of having to live your one life one day at a time, you could sample every life you could possibly have? Would you be happier? Would you find “the one?” The life in which everything fits? We don’t have a problem owning our smaller decisions, because the consequences are limited.
But bigger decisions can be harder to own, to find peace with them. Hard decisions are hard not because of our ignorance but because the best choice is not always obvious. Our values, our commitments, and our beliefs in large part are what determine the best decision in a hard decision.In this session, we explore:
Misconceptions about decisionsThe importance of self-awareness and acceptanceThe virtue of decision-making prudenceThe art of decision-making; the right outlook; space to reflect; owning your reality; aligning with your core values; taking adviceThe pitfalls in decision-making; control v let go; the difference between goals and outcomes; embrace the suffering; no such thing as perfect; Facing the consequences of a decision; God doesn’t ask for success but love
