260: Conversion, Loss, and the Witness of our Faith (w/ JuliaMarie Woolbright)

The Cordial Catholic

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by JuliaMarie Woolbright, an atheist convert to Catholicism to tell, first of all, her story of conversion to the Catholic faith, but then the story of her ongoing conversion through the experience of her daughter, Anastasia.
Diagnosed in utero with Anencephaly – a fatal type of neural tubal defect where a baby is born without parts of their skull or brain – JuliaMarie shares deeply from her experience of Anastasia's life, from the time of diagnosis, to her eventual passing away, and the incredible experiences since in a story that's utterly captivating.
JuliaMarie's honesty, charity, and faith is breathtaking and her insights into our ongoing conversions, as Catholics, into our faith lives, and into infant loss from a uniquely Catholic perspective is amazing. This is a conversation you won't regret listening to!
To follow JuliaMarie you can find her on Instagram.
