Flourishing

In this episode, Madeline chats with Cara Buskmiller, an OB/GYN and consecrated virgin for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. During their conversation, they discuss what is was like growing up in her family, a fateful Girl Scouts trip, her undergrad at Thomas Aquinas College in California, med school at Texas A&M, residency at St. Louis University, her nonprofit, dealing with a life-limiting fetal diagnosis, showing up  for women and children in need, suffering well, the necessity of clarity in disagreements, human flourishing,  joy vs. happiness, vocations and her vocation story, all about consecrated virginity, the Focolare ecclesial movement, the significance of saying yes, practicing virtue in the everyday, confirmation bias, and so much more!

During the course of their conversation, they make many references which you can explore. Some of these references include episodes 5 and  36 of this podcast, her nonprofit Conscience in Residency, and the encyclical Humanae Vitae.
