Real stories from inspiring panelists who use their place of work to influence society. Left encouraged that your current season in life held extraordinary potential!

GINGER SALDANHA - Lawyer  Ginger Saldanha brings more than three decades of experience as a criminal defense attorney to her work, navigating some of the most complex and high-stakes cases in the legal system. As managing partner of her Newport Beach firm, she approaches the law not only as a profession, but as a responsibility and a calling—one that demands clarity, prudence, and a deep respect for justice. In addition to her private practice, she is deeply committed to pro bono work in the recovery courts, where she has been given the gift of meeting individuals at the lowest points in their lives. That work has opened profound apostolic opportunities, allowing her to accompany others with compassion, hope, and a belief in the possibility of redemption. Her perspective highlights how even in adversarial environments, work can become a path of integrity, discipline, service, and grace. RACHEL MASON -  Plastic Surgeon 

Dr. Rachel Mason is a board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of La Femme Plastic Surgery, where she integrates high-level medical practice with a strong sense of vocation. Drawing on the principles of Optimal Work, which she has implemented within her own team, she will share how cultivating attention, reframing challenges, and pursuing intentional growth can transform work from a source of stress and potential burnout into a path of personal excellence, service, and human flourishing.  DIA BOYLE - Author of “The Thoughtful Home” 

Dia Boyle is a longtime homemaker and author of The Thoughtful Home, who brings decades of lived wisdom to the often-overlooked vocation of domestic life. She invites us to recover the home as a place of serious, skilled, and meaningful professional work—one that forms persons and offers a path of profound spiritual growth. 

“On Saturday afternoon, we had the opportunity to listen to women from a wide variety of professions living out their Catholic faith. The afternoon left us inspired, and knowing that God has a unique and important plan for each of our lives, using our gifts and talents in a meaningful way.” - Lia Rosenberger Photographer: Dora Olaiz
