the hermit + his wife

We survived the pandemic and helped collaborate on a new book with Blessed is She! With a new baby! Come here all the details. https://blessedisshe.net/product/nunc-coepi-year-of-prayer/

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!

We talk leisure! Why are hobbies important? How do you have them when you have an intense life? What happens when priorities are out of whack and you don't cultivate downtime that's rejuvenating in your life? Anthony and Nell answer these questions and more with two surprise cameo appearances.

We talk about working on actually liking the people we love, love deepening in our relationship, and how little habits stack to equal larger love. Thanks for sharing, commenting, liking, and subscribing!

We share all about our prayer life & growth in this area of our lives. Anthony gives a great elevator speech for Blessed is She and reveals his fav 17th century monk. the sound is a little grainy (SORRY!) but thanks for sharing, liking, commenting, and being kind about Nell's post-shower hair.

We dish on parenting, finagling marriage in those early years with many small babies and rough pregnancies, parenting the kid you actually have, and cultivating their prayer life. Thanks for liking, subscribing, commenting, and sharing.

Talking about vocation! Being lawyers, almost becoming a monk! Transition from being a lawyer and ++ doing what is actually in front of us++

Details like how many siblings Nell has and what wild gift Anthony bought her while they were dating . . . . A little background and our love story.

Meet Anthony (hermit) and Nell (people person). Two Catholic lawyers, but only one working at a law firm. The other works in ministry. Four kids in six years living in Saint Paul, hiding in their third floor oratory.
