Well hey my loves, it's a freaking wild time in the world. Full of uncertainty. Who knows what's coming this week, this year, in the next decade, and on and on. 

There is so much we have no power or control over. But one thing we DO is our own bodies and ideally also, our choice of what to do with them. 

But when we talk about choice related to our bodies, it's often speaking to access to contraption or termination options provided by practitioners or medical establishments outside of ourselves. (and unfortunately widely controlled by those in power in our governmental or religious organizations). 

What I mean when I speak to choice is something entirely different. It is the POWER inherent in practicing natural contraception from the lens of Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) combined with herbal allies to help us prevent pregnancy if needed. 

It is entirely within our capacity to prevent pregnancy with no outside assistance. And that, to me, is embodied sovereignty.

Today I share a little about 5 benefits of practicing natural contraception based on my personal 16 years of doing so, and teaching tens (maybe hundreds now) of others to do so too. 

My life and work has been profoundly shaped by this practice, so I'm excited for you to hear these benefits especially if you're considering walking this path, too. 

Listen to learn:

  • what I mean by natural contraception
  • how learning your unique rhythm + cycle can change your life
  • how practicing natural contraception is an act of resistance
  • about FAM as a skill to build towards resilience
  • how natural contraception compares with hormonal birth control
  • 5 benefits I have found practicing FAM for 16 years and counting
