Скачать или смотреть The Courage to Choose Plan A: How Sister Monica Clare Embraced Her Calling

In this week's episode of Everyday Better, Leah Smart welcomes Sister Monica Clare, an Episcopal nun, spiritual counselor, and creator of the TikTok account @nunsenseforthepeople, to explore the transformative journey of finding your true calling.

Sister Monica's path was far from conventional. After decades in Hollywood working in acting, advertising, and PR, she found herself unfulfilled and yearning for something deeper. It wasn’t until she began listening to herself – rather than the world around her – that she rediscovered her childhood dream of becoming a nun.

"Every time a door slammed in my face, the question I had on my mind was not, God, why are you doing this to me? It was, God, what are you trying to show me? I know that you lit a burner under my rear end to get me out of this life. Where do you want me to go? That's when things started happening for me," she reflects.

In this conversation, Sister Monica shares how she navigated fear, embraced her values, and took small, meaningful steps toward her "Plan A." Together, she and Leah discuss how to reframe failure, find clarity amidst self-doubt, and build self-esteem while pursuing a life aligned with your purpose.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or wondered if you’re on the right path, this episode will inspire you to tune into what moves your heart and take action – one step at a time.

You can also find Sister Monica’s book, “A Change of Habit: Leaving Behind My Husband, Career, and Everything I Owned to Become a Nun”, for a deeper look into her journey.
