Well late summer is here, and between medicine making, food preservation and family visits, life is full. 

So today I'm bringing you a medley full of juicy past episode snippets all about understanding your cycle and your choices.

First you'll hear about your choices of non-hormonal birth control -- specifically focusing on the copper IUD and condoms, but you can absolutely go listen to the entire episode to learn about all your other options too (see link below!).

Then you'll hear about when you even NEED to use birth control (hint: only during your fertile window and your follicular phase sometimes if you're practicing FAM) and a little about what your fertile window is telling you.

And finally, I dive into the incredible benefits of ovulation that we often don't hear about. 

Ovulatory cycles are a sign of health *and* there's actually a lot to know about the gifts of progesterone in the luteal phase for your body and mind.

Leaning the basics of your cycle and what your choices are is power. 

I hope you feel that, too.

Listen to learn:

• some ideas for non-hormonal birth control
• specifics on the benefits, risks and efficacy of copper IUD's
• why I think condoms are essential for everyone to consider
• how barrier methods like condoms are a part of Fertility Awareness
• basics on your fertile window and what it's telling you
• the benefits of ovulation
• some of the gifts of progesterone
