    In this conversation with Dr. Cami Jo Tice-Harouff, DNP, APRN-FNP, we discuss fertility as the 5th vital sign in women's health, the importance of treating the whole person, and how NFP methods such as the Creighton Model Fertility Care System are beneficial whether you are single or married. Dr. Cami Jo also explains how the Fertility Care System and NaPro Technology offer alternatives to things like contraception and IVF and do not violate the teachings of our Catholic faith.

  • A Catholic Take on Self-Care

    Deanna Johnston and Mikki Sciba sit down with special guest, Emily Frase from Total Whine, to discuss self-care for Catholics. Self-care for the Catholic is distinct from self-indulgence. It emphasizes soul-care and a devout prayer life. We are vessels. If we are empty, we have nothing to give. If we are full of vinegar, we will pour vinegar. In order to pour out love, we must be filled with it first. As beings composed of body and spirit, we have to embrace our nature in order to respond to God's call for us.
