In this episode of The NFP Podcast, Amy and Emily sit down with Substack writer, homeschooling mother of three, and Catholic convert Amber Adrian for a rich and heartfelt conversation about motherhood, Catholic sexuality, and the beauty of God’s design for men and women.

Amber shares her journey to the Catholic faith and her understanding of the female body, identity, and vocation. Together, they discuss The Cycle Show—an engaging, age-appropriate educational program that helps young girls understand their fertility with dignity and wonder—and reflect on how early education rooted in truth, goodness, and beauty can reshape how we view sexuality.

From the domestic church to the global stage, this episode celebrates the vastness of the roles of men and women in the world, highlighting the harmony and complementarity found in God's plan. Whether you're deep in the trenches of parenting or exploring the Church’s vision of human love, this conversation is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and hope.
