Meet Samantha
From cultivating prayerful rhythms and joyful family life in the Slow Motherhood newsletter, to exploring big questions about faith, culture, and technology on the Brave New Us podcast, my mission is the same:, my mission is the same:
To help you create a home where faith flourishes, hearts are formed, and your family can thrive.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me homeschooling my four kids, sipping coffee in the garden, or asking honest questions about faith, culture, and what it means to be human.
Slow Motherhood
On my blog, I share practical tips and prayerful encouragement to help you slow down and savor the good old days—while we’re still in the midst of them.
Sign up to receive Slow Motherhood, a newsletter of prayerful reflections, joyful rhythms, and real-life encouragement for creating a home where faith flourishes and families thrive.
Brave New Us
As a Catholic bioethicist, I explore what it means to be human in an age of genetic editing, AI, and transhumanism. Through my work, I seek to bring clarity and compassion to life’s hardest questions, always grounding my work in the dignity of the human person and the sacredness of life.

These forthcoming books will be published in the spring of 2026:

“Samantha uses her gift of writing to invite mothers to explore Ignatian Spirituality and discover God in the ordinary unfoldings of their everyday lives. It’s easy to feel like Samantha is right there with you while reading her works, because her writings speak to the heart like the words of a dear friend.”
- LINDY WYNNE, HOST OF THE MAMAS IN SPIRIT PODCAST
“Samantha’s writing combines lived experience, theological knowledge, and common sense. She has a deep knowledge of bioethics, a lively sense of our current culture, and a profound love for God and his Church. Her writing does not appeal to the mind alone, nor the heart alone, but provides an intelligent and compassionate perspective that's well worth the read.”
- DR. CHRISTOPHER KACZOR, PHILOSOPHER AND DEAN OF FELLOWS AT WORD ON FIRE
“Samantha has a gift for seeing the connections between the mundane and the sacred, the messy and the miraculous, fleeting moments and timeless truths. Rooted in Ignatian spirituality, she invites readers to find God in all things in a voice that is both personal and profound.”
- KATHERINE BROWN, DIRECTOR OF MISSION AND IDENTITY PROGRAMS AT LOYOLA MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY
