    Sister Monica Clare – Believe it or not, I have never been interviewed by Anderson Cooper about becoming a nun

    In this episode I welcome back the wonderful Sister Monica Clare, who last joined me to share her extraordinary journey from Hollywood to the convent. This time, we dive into the story behind her new book A Change of Habit: Leaving Behind My Husband, Career, and Everything I Owned to Become a Nun. We talk about the writing process, how it felt to relive key moments from her past, and what it was like to suddenly go viral with a CNN interview. Sister Monica also reflects on her role as Sister Superior at the Community of St. John Baptist in New Jersey, the power of spiritual discernment, and the impact of challenging long-standing traditions within the convent. It’s a warm and wise conversation about identity, purpose, and the courage it takes to follow a calling. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
