What inspired Plaid Pathways? In this bonus trailer, hosts Sarah Crain (‘03) and Claire Webb (‘97) share the story behind the podcast—how it came to be, what it means to them, and why they believe it matters to the Ursuline community.

You’ll hear about the power of shared experiences, the strength of the Ursuline sisterhood, and the vision for a podcast that celebrates expert graduates and the many paths they’ve taken. Whether you’re a recent grad or decades out, this episode is a warm invitation to connect, reflect, and celebrate the plaid.

From Ursuline, for Ursuline - we can’t wait to share the first season of Plaid Pathways with you! As we prepared to launch season one, we kept unintentionally coming back to the theme of transitions. This season, our guests talk about any and all life transitions, from returning to work after maternity leave, to finding ways to fund their dream college, mental breakthroughs such as finding their authentic voice, and reframing “the change” of perimenopause. As the old saying goes, “the only constant in life is change,” so we're shedding light on some changes in that could be in your past, present, or future.

Plaid Pathways is a place where Ursuline alums will share their stories and wisdom - with an emphasis on what women need to know at different points in their lives and careers. Tune in to hear about the many “plaid pathways” Ursuline Academy of Dallas graduates have taken to arrive where they are today and listen for great advice that these experts think ALL women should know.
