HI, I'M ROSE.

I guide Catholic women to a close connection with God that helps them banish chronic anxiety for good—so that they can reclaim their inner peace and live the purpose-filled life God intends.

Even when things are tough. Even when they wonder if God is even listening (he is!) or they think they're just plain bad at prayer (they aren't—they just need a little guidance!)

You deserve the close relationship with God that he has ready for you—and that will bring you the peace and clarity you've been missing.

I'll share the 5 simple steps to that closeness to God in my upcoming free workshop. Register now!

MY STORY
I started rock-bottom at zero in my '20s—empty and scared after I broke up with my drug-addict boyfriend—and feeling like I'd never have a life with purpose.

But God had other plans!

I joined the 12-step Al-Anon program where I re-connected with God and began to heal from  spiritual and emotional wounds caused by growing up around alcoholism.

In Al-Anon, I loved helping other members grow closer to God. Little did I know that I had found my life's purpose.

Since then, I've helped over 9,000 Catholics have a closer connection to God so that they can have the peace only God can provide.

I would love to share with you my process to banish anxiety and reclaim your peace in my free workshop, "Banish Anxiety: 5 Simple Steps to Lasting Peace and Purpose." Register on this page!

EDUCATION
Forty years ago in Al-Anon, I discovered my gift for guiding people to God's peace. I also discovered the Catholic Church.

I was received into the Church in 1990. In 1991, I began my 5-year study of the Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas in a study group taught by a priest professor at the Dominican seminary in DC.

That same year, I attended my first Lay Dominican meeting. I made my Life Promise as a Dominican in 1995 and am currently serving my third term as president of my Lay Dominican chapter.

I spent years reading over 150 books to absorb the wisdom and practical guidance of the Catholic spiritual masters. (My holy obsession is your gain!)

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
And I pass along that inspiration and guidance to you so that you can discover how to let the Holy Spirit lead you closer to our loving God.

More recently, in 2023, I earned a certificate in Spiritual Direction.

CAREER
I ran a calligraphy studio in DC for many years (my work was presented to both Queen Elizabeth and Pope John Paul II), spent 2 years as director of a White House office, and 10 years as director in another federal agency.

I founded Virtue Connection in 2014 to help Catholics grow closer to God and live more virtuous lives.

In 2019, I began guiding Catholics specifically to a life of peace through prayer, which is the foundation of growth in virtue. 

Through my speaking, writing, teaching, and blogging, I've helped over 9,000 people reclaim their peace in Christ to live more virtuous lives.

I invite you to join me in my free workshop, "Banish Anxiety: 5 Simple Steps to Lasting Peace and Purpose" where you'll get the 5 steps I use to stay in God's peace, no matter what else is going on! Register now on this page.

Hope to see you on the inside!
