Speaking

Request Joanna to Speak

From mission stations to retreat chapels, God has been teaching me one long lesson: His grace shows up in the most ordinary places. I'd be honored to come share it with your people.

Tell Me About Your Event

A Note Before You Invite

I love to speak. I've shared stories at churches, conferences, and events — about coming home to the Eucharist with nothing but a Dixie cup of grape juice and a hungry heart, about losing a child and finding Our Lady standing beside me, about silence and the present moment and the ten-year plans God kindly unravels. My talks are story-shaped: scripture woven through real life, with a little honest humor about gray hairs and sticky counters along the way.

I speak at conferences, retreats, parish missions, women's groups, and homeschool gatherings — in person or over a screen. Tell me about your people and what your event needs, and together we'll discern whether God is asking this of both of us.

I read every invitation personally, and I'll respond as soon as I am able — usually within a few days. Thank you for thinking of me.

"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
