In this episode, I’m mixing things up a little — sharing more about what’s been going on in my life lately and then diving into one of the questions I hear most often: How do I get my partner on board with fertility awareness?

You’ll hear about our full summer of family events, the chaos of traveling standby with little ones, starting our homeschooling journey, my current favorite clothing subscription, and even the comfort TV that’s been getting me through. Then we shift into today’s topic: the role of your partner in charting, and how to approach fertility awareness as a shared practice rather than a solo project.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why some partners resist or tune out when you first bring up charting
• How to explain fertility awareness without overwhelming them with details
• What it looks like to frame FAM as a team effort instead of a solo responsibility
• How highlighting the benefits of charting can shift your partner’s perspective
• The importance of patience, reassurance, and small gestures of support in making FAM sustainable

Thinking about ditching hormonal birth control but worried about unplanned pregnancy? You’re not alone. In this episode of The Cyclical Doula Podcast, I’m sharing how I help individuals and couples confidently avoid pregnancy using fertility awareness-based methods—without hormones or guesswork.

We’ll talk about:

• How the sympto-thermal method (tracking basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and hormone clues) can be up to 99% effective for avoiding pregnancy.
• What daily charting looks like and how simple it really is—just minutes a day.
• The difference between SymptoPro and the Fertility Knowledge Collective (FKC), and how my certifications help me offer a flexible, science-backed approach.
• Common myths about natural birth control (like why it’s not the same as the rhythm method).
• Client success stories of couples who found freedom and confidence after leaving hormonal birth control.

If you’re ready for a natural, empowering alternative to hormonal birth control, this episode is packed with clarity, encouragement, and practical steps to get started.

Trying to get pregnant but feeling overwhelmed, confused, or stuck? You’re not alone. In this episode of The Cyclical Doula Podcast, I’m breaking down exactly what it’s like to work with me when you’re trying to conceive—and how charting your cycle can be a total game changer.

We’ll talk about:

• Why so many fertility challenges are actually easy to troubleshoot once you know what’s happening in your cycle.
• How I teach couples to use a sympto-thermal method (tracking basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and sometimes hormones) to clearly see their fertile window.
• The difference between SymptoPro and the Fertility Knowledge Collective (FKC), and how I’m trained in both approaches.
• What a typical day of charting looks like (spoiler: it’s less than 5 minutes!).
• How my 1:1 coaching and group courses work—and why lifetime support is included.
• Real client stories of couples who discovered clarity, timing, and confidence through charting.

If you’ve been told “just relax” or are considering expensive medical interventions without understanding your body’s natural rhythms first, this episode will give you hope and practical next steps.

The world feels heavy, and I’ve been thinking a lot about the kind of world my kids are growing up in. One thing I know? Knowledge is power—and understanding our bodies is a form of reclaiming that power.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the basics of female reproductive anatomy and the hormones that drive the menstrual cycle. Because if we were taught about our bodies in shame-free, accurate ways from the start, we wouldn’t have to fight so hard to reclaim this knowledge as adults.

We’ll talk about:
✨ The key players in the female reproductive system—what they actually do and why they matter
✨ The hormones that influence your cycle and how they impact everything from mood to fertility
✨ Why using real, anatomically correct language is an act of empowerment
✨ How understanding your own body supports informed consent and bodily autonomy

This is more than just biology—it’s about equipping ourselves (and future generations) with the knowledge we all deserve. Because I’m not just raising kids—I’m raising dragon-slayers.
