Sharon Younkin

September 7, 2026

In this Labor Day edition of Cuthbert Conversations, Fr. Sunil welcomes back clinical social worker Sharon Younkin for a conversation about rest, renewal, and caring for ourselves with compassion. Sharon explores why slowing down can feel difficult and how making space for play, reflection, and meaningful relationships can enrich our lives.

Together, they consider the weight of resentment and the freedom that can come through forgiveness, while recognizing the importance of healthy boundaries. Sharon also shares simple ways to practice mindfulness and pay attention to what we need in the present moment. Their conversation invites us to receive rest as a gift and to extend to ourselves the kindness we seek to offer our neighbors.
