In this episode, host Madeleine Karako interviews artist Haley Dessauer, who shares her journey as a Catholic sacred artist and mother of four. They discuss the balance between motherhood and creativity, the role of faith in homeschooling, and the influence of saints like John Bosco and Julian of Norwich in their lives. Haley reflects on how her art serves as a form of prayer and how her experiences as a mother shape her artistic expression. The conversation emphasizes the importance of trust in God's plan and the beauty of finding spirituality in everyday life.

About Podcast

Just a Catholic mom of 2 souls in heaven and 3 kids on earth trying to reach out to others who want to share their story and get to know the Saints. I'm Madeleine Karako and I love stories about the saints. The Saints are friends sent from Heaven that lead us closer to the Holy Trinity. In my "Saintly Sidekick" interviews, my guests share personal, miraculous stories about how the Saints influenced them in their life, especially during times of trial.
