Hey guys! this episode gets pretty personal as Kathleen and I process the emotions behind the possibility that I (Ellen) am pregnant with a method error pregnancy. This is something that a lot of us using NFP have either experienced or are scared of experiencing. Listen in for a real life conversation processing the possibility of being pregnant when I really don't want to be. Wondering what the outcome is? You'll have to listen to the end when I share. In a similar situation or feel like you need someone to talk to about other NFP related issues?

BBT, MM, CM, CrM, STM, DPO, P+3...... ever looked at all of those letters and numbers and wondered what they all mean? We power through ALLL of them (or as many as we could find). This episode's a long one, but definitely listen to the end because we talk about some of the problematic acronyms and phrases we use and why we should stop using them. ___________________________________ Did we mention a book on this week's episode?

Hot takes here in this episode. We hear a lot of resentment about NFP, and Kathleen and I have been through those seasons of resentment as well, we're not immune to the struggles of NFP, but sometimes it's taken too far and the way NFP is talked about becomes entirely negative. NFP also sometimes gets blamed for all the problems in a marriage, and the thing is, NFP is a magnifying glass for problems already present in a marriage between two fallen humans.Marriage ministries we suggest:https://www.canafeast.com/https://www.joyfuleverafter.org/___________________________________ Did we mention a book on this week's episode?

Dr. Sarah Bartel joins us to chat about licit and illicit acts when it comes to sex. With her doctorate in moral theology, she's definitely a great person to ask these questions to! Sarah also shares about she and her husband's marriage workshop in which they have a great module on sex which includes licit and illicit acts. I picked Sarah's brain about a couple common questions I get on the topic namely female orgasm, manual stimulation, and lingerie! Interested in checking out the premium Abundant workshop? https://abundant.canafeast.com/ctiIf you purchase the abundant workshop though this link you'll also get a 1-hour coaching session with me.If you have more questions about licit and illicit acts, book a coaching session with me below!___________________________________ Did we mention a book on this week's episode?
