  • The Real Meaning of Fruitfulness
    Today, Mary Bruno, co-founder of FABMBASE and the heart behind @whitelotusblooming shares her story as someone who walked through endometriosis, life altering surgeries, adoption, and embracing the fullness of motherhood. She says, "If we define our whole lives based on our service to our biological children, what happens when those children grow up and leave the home... I imagine that woman would become pretty empty and not realize that she's still called to be fruitful even when her children are grown and gone." Find her on Instagram @whitelotusblooming, her blog, and keep your eyes peeled for her upcoming book.

  • Time Travelin' Aussie

    This episode was as challenging to record as it was to schedule because my guest, Sean is 16 hours in the future. Join me in learning more about what it's like not only using, but instructing the Marquette Method as a male nurse in a land where MM is basically unheard of. Sean is also the first man on the show apart from my husband. It was an educational and enjoyable chat that I'm excited to share. 


    PS. He's looking for clients if you're in need. You can find him in the big "NFP Catholic Style!" Facebook page, or on Instagram @beechah1

  • Being Bold in the Broken ft. Mary Lenaburg

    Hello hello! I'm very excited to sit down this week and have a beautiful chat with my friend and mentor, Mary Lenaburg. Mary is a speaker/author/life coach/all the hats. She has had the pleasure of mentoring hundreds of married couples on what it means to have a God-centered marriage. Mary shares her heart as she reflects on what happens when we try to kick God out of the bedroom and the spiritual healing that NFP, when properly practiced, can bring a couple. Whether you're single, newly wed, or fighting the good fight within your marriage, you will glean so much wisdom from our conversation. So please sit back with your favorite mug of whatever, and listen closely to what the Spirit has for you through this beautiful soul. 

    If you can't get enough of Mary, find more of her at her website or Instagram, along with her books which I can't recommend highly enough!
