 Why would you become a nun in the 21st Century? Join me in this brand-new podcast series where I'm on a journey to learn about the women beneath the habits. I'll be interviewing nuns on what life is really like in the convent and what inspired them to take a religious path.

  • Contemplative life in Notting Hill – Sr Susan Thompson

    Contemplative life in Notting Hill – Sr Susan Thompson
    May 11 2023

    This week I got the rare opportunity to be invited into a Carmelite monastery in Notting Hill, London.


    I hope you enjoy listening to Sr Susan who explains what her unusual lifestyle is like, from Tesco deliveries to truly knowing that it was the Carmelite Order which was the right fit for her.


    You can watch the 'No Greater Love' documentary referenced here.


    Or, if you would like to send the Sisters a prayer request, you can find the page here.

    This week, the podcast took me locally to Brixton where I had the pleasure of meeting Sr Ann Turner. From growing up in Liverpool to being inspired by the sisters she met in her youth, she has devoted her life to being a nun and working in the community.
