One Heart, One Mind: Relational Leadership Lessons from Adèle and Marie Thérèse with Sr. Laura Leming, FMI, and Jessica González Uhlig
<p>While history often focuses on the “visionary spark” of Father Chaminade, the Marianist charism was equally forged in the practical, gritty leadership of two remarkable women: Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon and Marie Thérèse de Lamourous. In this episode, Sr. Laura Leming, FMI, and Jessica González Uhlig return to discuss how these women embodied a “relational leadership” that still speaks to our modern world.</p><br><p>From the aristocratic châteaus to the streets of Bordeaux, Adèle and Marie Thérèse faced rampant illness, social condemnation, and meager resources. Rather than retreating, they engaged through “innovative accompaniment”—whether that meant rolling cigars to sustain a ministry or writing hundreds of letters to bridge the gap of isolation. Their story is a timeless model for anyone looking to lead with joy, purpose, and a “quiet revolution of love.”</p><br><p>What You’ll Learn:</p><ul><li>Practical Resourcefulness: How Marie Thérèse used “meager resources” and “boots-on-the-ground” tactics to meet urgent community needs.</li><li>The “Patron Saint of Email”: Why Adèle’s 700+ letters are a nineteenth-century blueprint for using technology to build community and fight isolation.</li><li>Leadership as Accompaniment: How to choose “accompaniment over judgment” in a polarized world.</li><li>The Power of the Pause: Lessons from Adèle on self-care, mindfulness, and the “Examen” in the midst of a crisis.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Follow the North American Center for Marianist Studies on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/ThisIsNACMS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ThisIsNACMS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> - @ThisIsNACMS.</p><p>Visit <a href="http://www.nacms.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">our website</a> for access to all our resources, including e-publications, our bookstore, programming and more.</p><br><p>Recorded December 3, 2025.

Cigars, Château, and Conviction: Adèle and Marie Thérèse with Sr. Laura Leming, FMI, and Jessica González Uhlig
<p>While Father William Joseph Chaminade provided the visionary spark for the Marianists, the full story comes to life through the incredible partnership he shared with two remarkable women. In this episode, Sr. Laura Leming, FMI, and Jessica González Uhlig discuss the foundational partnership between Father Chaminade, Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon, and Marie Thérèse de Lamourous.</p><br><p>Sr. Laura and Jessica explore how these three distinct individuals—a visionary priest, a teenage aristocrat with a "flair for the dramatic," and a fearless woman who went undercover during the Reign of Terror—came together to form the Marianist Family. Whether you are a student looking for a path of authenticity or a leader navigating complex collaborations, the "Head, Heart, and Hands" framework these individuals embody provides a timeless model for service and community.</p><br><p>In this episode, Jessica and Sr. Laura discuss:</p><ul><li>Adèle’s transition from living in a wealthy château to a life of radical poverty at age 18,</li><li>Marie Thérèse’s "boots on the ground" leadership at the Miséricorde,</li><li>The nineteenth-century "mentorship" between Father Chaminade and these two dynamic women,</li><li>Practical tips for finding grace in modern-day group projects and collaborations.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>A transcript of this podcast episode is <a href="https://www.nacms.org/files/inline-files/SOMS_No._53_-_Cigars_Chateau_and_Conviction_Adele_and_Marie_Therese_with_Sr._Laura_Leming_FMI_and_Jessica_Gonzalez_Uhlig_0.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>available here</strong></a>.</p><br><p>Follow the North American Center for Marianist Studies on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/ThisIsNACMS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ThisIsNACMS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> - @ThisIsNACMS.</p><p>Visit <a href="http://www.nacms.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">our website</a> for access to all our resources, including e-publications, our bookstore, programming and more.</p><br><p>Recorded 3 December 2025.
