"The soul that longs for divine wisdom chooses first, and in truth, to enter the thicket of the cross." - St. John of the Cross
This is a podcast about suffering, and about hope. Rachael, Erin, and Nicole are friends who have supported each other through various ups and downs of life in the past few years. We believe it is important to have a space to speak honestly about some of the more difficult times of life... without losing sight of hope and humour!

A beautiful podcast on suffering

Dear wonderful ladies of the Thicket!
Thank you so so much for all the work you do and all the thoughtfulness behind this podcast.
I have had so many friends come up to me after having recommended this to them, that it was so fruitful to reflect on, and you do the work with such joy amidst a heavy topic, that it’s very heartwarming. I love the podcast and I cannot wait to listen to more. THANK you for your ministry!!! ❣️
