S3 Episode 8: Delphine Chui on What Happens When Conversion Comes at a Cost to Your Career

CWIB Presidents Taryn DeLong and Elise Crawford Gallagher’s new book, Holy Ambition: Thriving as a Catholic Woman at Work and at Home, is ⁠⁠⁠available for preorder⁠⁠⁠!

Season 3 of Catholic Women Lead will share excerpts from Elise and Taryn’s interviews with 16 Catholic businesswomen. Their stories are included in the book, but there wasn’t room for all of their wisdom, so we’re sharing it here on our podcast.

In episode 8, writer and nonprofit founder Delphine Chui tells the story of how her reversion back to her Catholic faith came at a cost to her career—and how God transformed it into something even better.

About Delphine:

Delphine Chui is an award-winning journalist, speaker and charity founder from London. A Catholic revert and former women’s magazine editor who experienced “cancel culture” for being publicly pro-life, she is passionate about learning and sharing how to be boldly Catholic in today’s world, as well as speaking about God’s design for men and women amidst modern dating culture on her YouTube channel. Delphine loves to explore themes of intentional living, and having recently (since this interview) taken the leap to go freelance, she’s been reflecting on the definition of “work,” embracing ambition at a pace that’s conducive to holiness and health. She volunteers as CEO of her befriending charity, CareDogs, and has gotten back into writing after a sabbatical of finding her voice again. You’ll most likely find her out in nature walking or multi-tasking while listening to a podcast. Digitally, Delphine is most active on Instagram and YouTube at @delphinediscusses or on LinkedIn and Twitter at @delphinechui.
