    Ep. 208: Unexplained Secondary Infertility Didn't Sit Right With Her, So She Got Answers. Client Story: Magan

    When Magan and her husband weren't conceiving easily like they did with their first, she did everything in her power to see change. She worked with a chiropractor, tried Whole30, used supplements, and met with her local OB. One year later, nothing had changed. She wanted answers quick, but when she read about NaProTechnology and a restorative approach to reproductive health issues, she decided to give it a try. From there, she learned more about herself than she ever thought she would and found a new motivation and peace that she didn't think possible. She was pretty pleased with the outcome, too. I know you'll enjoy hearing the honest story of Magan's journey with secondary infertility. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for most audiences, but does include discussion of intercourse.

    Ep. 206: Am I Doing Too Much? Is It Time to Stop? How Can I Know?

    When it comes to reproductive health, it can feel like there's always "one more thing" that you can do or try. It can feel exhausting. How much is too much? How do you know when it's time to stop? These are valid questions to ask! But as you do, there are some other factors to first consider. - Are all the things I'm doing actually moving me toward my goal? Is there another way? An alternative approach? - How can I advocate for myself so I don't have to do a long list of things that don't feel right for me? - Is God telling me to stop or just inviting me to rest? In this episode, Caitlin tackles these and more to help you navigate those moments when you are trying to decide whether or not you're DONE. We hope it's helpful!

    Ep. 204: Eating Close to Nature for Health and Wellness, with Chandis, RDN

    We all want to eat healthier, but it's not always as easy as it sounds. When you walk into a grocery store, how can you know what to buy and what to skip? We can't always make gourmet meals when we have 30 mins to make something healthy happen. Yet we know that the food we eat has a meaningful impact on our overall health and reproductive function. This is why we've invited Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Chandis, to join us to talk about the simplest approach to eating as close to nature as possible. She talks about real snack options, easy meal templates, and how to tackle the grocery store. We hope this super practical episode is helpful to all! NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences. GUEST BIO: Chandis is a registered dietitian nutritionist and homeschooling mom of three who is passionate about teaching families how to nourish their bodies well. After struggling through her own childhood blood sugar issues, Chandis became determined to share what she's learned about feeling balanced and energized for God's glory.

    Ep. 202: Cycle Syncing emotionally and creatively with client, Abby

    For Woven client, Abby, the experience of cycle charting provided far more insight than simple family planning. It opened up a whole new world of discovery as she recognized the role her reproductive hormones played in her emotional state and creative potential. After charting her cycles with the Creighton Model System, she began working with these natural rhythms instead of against them and her creative and personal endeavors came alive. As a professional dancer and athlete, she used to berate herself for having needs and strengths that morphed throughout her cycle. Now, she changed her perspective to honor them. I'm excited for you to hear more from Abby herself in this episode. Enjoy! NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences. GUEST BIO: Abby is a Jesus follower and professional dancer. She serves as the Artistic Director of a Christian ballet company in Kansas City, Dramatic Truth Ballet Theatre.  OTHER HELPFUL EPISODES: Ep. 28: When your body feels broken Ep. 134: Realistic Cycle Syncing for Every Woman, with Megan Faller Send a text Support the show Other great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!
