Tim Pawl is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. He works on metaphysics, philosophical theology, and moral psychology.In metaphysics he works on truthmaker theory, modality, and free will. In philosophical theology, he has published on transubstantiation, Christology, and Classical Theism. In moral psychology he has worked with psychologists on questions concerning how best to grow in virtue, and whether the traditional wisdom of the Christian moral tradition is conducive to growth in virtue. You can peruse his work, research and publications at his website: https://timpawl.wordpress.com/.This is a 3-part interview series discussing varied aspects of marital debt. Perhaps you've heard of this before or maybe this is the first time you've ever heard such a phrase. While this might sound like it's a heady conversation, Dr. Pawl does an incredible job of breaking down what the marital debt is, where it comes from, what it's not, and if it's possible to say "no" to your spouse for sex (is it actually morally permissible?). We go in-depth in this conversation and look at various aspects of this often-controversial topic! This is part 2 of the 3-part series on marital debt.

Should we watch sex scenes in movies? Could they negatively or positively impact marital sex?

Today, I sit down with David and we talk about our own experiences navigating sex scenes in movies and the movie that challenged us to discuss how we would approach this issue in our own marriage moving forward.
We don't have all the answers and we certainly aren't providing an extended dissertation with research. You're tuning into an honest conversation of what we've processed over the past few months and what steps we're taking to navigate sex scenes in shows & movies.
This is a new style of podcast for us, so let us know what you think! And, if you agree or disagree with what we say, we want to know, so send us a DM on Instagram @managingyourfertility or an email at [email protected].

We're coming back at ya with a Q&A all about functional nutrition by answering your questions from Instagram!
Here's what we cover in today's episode -

Interviewee bio:
Ginny founded The Women’s Health RN fueled by her personal mission to help women learn how to optimize their hormonal health through functional nutrition and cycle charting (FEMM). After seven years of frustrating experiences in seeking traditional medical advice for her own hormonal imbalance — Ginny became impassioned by the idea of ensuring as many women as possible would be saved from wasting time and resources walking down the same path.
Through years of research, education, training, and experience practicing as a nurse in a women’s health and fertility clinic — Ginny learned how hormonal health is connected to a variety of symptoms and what the root-cause of hormonal imbalances are. Unlike most traditional medical providers, Ginny’s approach to fixing the symptoms these imbalances present as are grounded in principles of Functional Medicine and a food-first philosophy.

We talk about what functional nutrition is, if food can be medicine for your body and health, what it means to take a root-cause approach, intuitive eating, and so much more! This episode is all about the foundational understanding of functional nutrition and how it can benefit your health and I'm so excited for you to listen!

What do you think about the idea of women saying "yes" to what God calls them to and not fitting into a particular box or stereotypical role?
In this episode, I take a deep dive with my guest, Elise Gallagher, into what it means to be a Catholic woman who lives out her YES to God's calling in her life, while navigating the challenges of the often questionable "having it all" lifestyle. We don't stay surface-level in this podcast and we don't pretend to have all the answers.
What we do know is this: God calls each one of us to something unique because we are made unique and unrepeatable.
What does it look like to live this out with restrictive workplace environments, the "shoulds" for how to be the best woman, navigating marriage & family life, pondering if you should lean into your work or take a step back?
I'm excited for you to listen to this one and go deeper in your own life to see where God is calling YOU to give your resounding "YES!" to Him and not be afraid to examine your life and where you're needed to take some holy action.
Interviewee bio:
Elise Crawford Gallagher is a wife and mom to two little girls. As of March 2023, she is the Vice President of Operations at her family business, JC Law, a regional law firm based in Baltimore, MD. Before JC Law, Elise was the Founder & CEO of Ringlet, a marketing agency focused on serving women-owned businesses. Elise built RINGLET from a one-woman show to a thriving multi-dimensional company with eight employees. Ringlet produced national, multi-level campaigns for startups around the country. Elise’s mission is to empower Catholic women to boldly step into their feminine genius to live the vocations God has called them to.
