✨ Welcome to our brand-new series: The Face Behind the Chart! ✨

Behind every cycle chart is a woman with a story marked by hope, challenges, resilience, and purpose.

With this new series, we're shining a light on some incredible women in our community who have courageously walked their paths. While each story is different, we're united in this journey together. Our hope is that as you listen, you'll see pieces of your own story reflected back to you, be reminded that you're never alone, and discover encouragement, practical tools, and hope for wherever you find yourself.

🎙️ We couldn't be more excited to introduce our very first guest (drumroll please!): ... Juli Schneider!

Juli is a certified hormone coach through the Fiat Institute (just like us!), a FEMM charting instructor, a mama of three little ones, and a thyroid cancer warrior whose faith and determination are truly inspiring.

In this powerful conversation, Juli shares her hormone health journey, her decision to use Fertility Awareness-Based Methods while avoiding pregnancy during cancer treatment, and the unexpected challenges, victories, and graces she experienced along the way. Her vulnerability, wisdom, and passion made this conversation one we'll never forget and we hope you are blessed by her too!

If her story speaks to you, be sure to connect with her and explore the incredible resources she offers through her ministry:

We can't wait to share them with you!

Welcome Back!

Thank you for your patience during our little haitus from publishing! We have been busy behind the scenes recording our next series as well as taking time to enjoy some extra summer adventures with our families. That being said we are excited to be back in action!

This episode we dive into the luteal phase and how we can best support our hormones as well as take advantage of some of the gifts this phase can bring. If you haven't listened to our previous Leveraging Series episodes we encourage you to jump back and listen to those first to get the full appreciation of your entire cycle!

We hope this series has opened your eyes and given you ideas and tools for your toolbox to try and see how they support you so that you can live the life you were created for. If you are feeling inspired and would like to take things to the next level and pursue coaching with either of us please reach out! You can find us at:

Today, we’re setting aside our original plans and simply sitting down for a real conversation over a cup of coffee. Life has been full lately, and while we connect often, we realized we haven’t had many chances to truly slow down and catch up. So grab your favorite cozy drink, get comfortable, and join us for an honest chat filled with laughter, reflections, and whatever unfolds along the way.

Your period: inconvenient… or insightful?

Discover how your period is actually a monthly report card—revealing what’s working, what’s not, and how to course-correct. Learn how to use this time as a tool for growth, clarity, and how to set yourself up for success in your next cycle.

In this episode we dive in and take a closer look at what Fertility Awareness Based Methods/Natural Family Planning Methods are and our personal experiences with navigating the world of fertility charting. We hope this episode is a catalyst for you to explore these methods and choosing to implement this approach to fertility and family planning into your own life. In this episode we do mention A TON of different methods out there (which we will share some links below) and if you would like help getting in contact with an instructor we encourage you to reach out so we can get you connected with the resources you need! At the beginning of this episode Rebecca also recaps her experience attending the FACTS conference and so we will link their website below as well! It is FULL of amazing information and science to help you feel confident navigating restorative reproductive healthcare. Enjoy!
