Truth & Fertility

Today's Q&A episode covers some of the common questions I got after my talk at the SEEK26 Conference! Topics include:

• How do I balance my hormones naturally?
• Where can I find a doctor who won't prescribe me birth control?
• How do I know if I have low progesterone?
• What did I do to help my PCOS?
• What should I study in school if I want to become an NFP instructor?
• ...and more!!!

‼️This episode contains some graphic information on miscarriage. Listener discretion advised.

Miscarriages can sometimes feel dismissed and many women don't have the space to grieve their loss. In this episode, we talk about grief after miscarriage, offering practical support for the days following loss, guidance for healing from trauma, and gentle ways to move forward while honoring the babies lost.

Shannon Leach was a collegiate soccer player, Boston marathon runner, and overall active woman who lost her period as a junior in college. Most doctors said "you're an athlete, that's just what happens." After 20 years of hypothalamic amenorrhea (aka no periods), infertility, and tanked hormones, she finally found healing. She had her first period just a few months ago, and she's here today to share her story!
