This week we welcome Laura Tremblay, a Catholic Life Coach for young women and the founder of the Beloved Collective, to share her story with us on Arise, Beloved. Laura has had a deep love for a theology of the body and specifically, the role of women in the Church since she was young. After graduating from Franciscan University in 2018, Laura decided to pursue her love for Theology of the Body further by attending the International Theological Institute in Austria. While living in Austria, she was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, forcing her to return home and start intensive treatment.Laura shares her story with us because God has used the last year to bring about immense healing in her life - not through removing the disease, but by filling Laura with peace and giving her the grace and courage to accept her Cross and surrender her plans for her life to the Lord. If you want to learn more about the Beloved Collective or talk to Laura you can reach her on her Instagram account: @laurajeantremblay or email [email protected].
