  • Who is Agnes?
  • Our guest today has had a very special journey, she was a nun in a convent for 10 years before leaving the order and being a mother of two today. Her story has inspired the publishing world and her book will be published in the Netherlands in a few days.
  • Why is she an inspiration?
  • Agnes’ philosophy, inspired by her religious life and her experience of maternity, is quite unique. She has made courageous choices, which were in line with her most profound desires. We were touched by her journey.
  • Which subjects are you going to tackle?
  • Agnes left the monastery because she had the feeling of having learnt what she had been there to learn and her need to follow her engagement with the ‘real world’, as she calls it, was strongest. We will share her calling, the part of her life in a monastery, as well as her most intimate convictions.
