Overview
- Hall, who spoke Tuesday on Craig Melvin’s Glass Half Full podcast, said she took an initial step toward becoming a nun.
- She described that period as an “incredible romance” with God marked by meditation, prayer, quiet, and a deep sense of peace.
- She said a breakup two to three years earlier set the stage for her discernment and made that loss feel worthwhile.
- She did not complete formation because some orders set age cutoffs around 39, and she was older, which she called being “too seasoned.”
- She noted that Catholic orders set their own entry rules, including limits tied to age, past relationships, and family ties, which can block later-in-life vocations.
