the hermit + his wife Nell O’Leary

We resurrected the podcast, I think? We’ve recorded a bunch of episodes so far but just need to have enough space on my hard drive to edit them all. Yikes, it’s time for a new computer and phone, but really I cannot make it to the Apple store, so here we are.
This is just a lil preview of what’s to come. Podcast will be free, of course! But paid subscribers to my substack will receive some seriously hilarious outtakes and the back story for each of our guests, so just sayin’, if you’d like to contribute for $5, that is what you’ll get! As well as my monthly deep-dives and more personal stuff.
Enjoy this little stint of mostly Nell laughing, some funny jump clips, and a reprisal of our old bumper intro with a different photo! Father’s just nodding along, but I promise most of the episode is HIM talking, not us.
It’ll be on wherever you listen to your podcasts & youtube, and here, of course, as well.
Love,
Nell

We talk about Natural Family Planning and go through how it's not Catholic birth control, sharing from our own experience, ramble a bit, and also touch on when pregnancies are a surprise. Would love to hear your experiences, too!

We just passed 11 years of marriage and share what advice we'd give to ourselves back in those initial days, months, and years of marriage. Pretty basic but I love how even basic can be profound. Cheers to 111 more!

We talk all about perseverance--what is it, how do we deepen our ability to persevere, and Anthony's fascination with grit and grits (yes, the food). A little boost for your spirits (and mine!) with a checklist on how to make little changes that can lead to big ones. Thanks for commenting, liking, and sharing. We appreciate you being here.

Anthony goes deep in what spiritual warfare is and how we combat it while Nell shares her ongoing battle with discouragement and where we draw our hope from. It's your basic Aquinas, Scripture, philosophy take on things. Thanks for listening, sharing, and leaving a review!
