Managing Your Fertility

Maybe you've been a part of the marriage prep training that highlights NFP with frolicking couples smiling at each other and the promo that NFP is life-changing. And then, it wasn't. Well, not in the ways you anticipated. *cue all the emotions* In this episode, I talk about THREE ways we can better market & promote NFP that honestly and hopefully shares how NFP impacts marriages and what you might expect, rather than a sanitized version that leaves many feeling isolated and guilt-ridden. And, I'm sharing Christina Valenzuela's amazing Parish Planning Packet (only $17!) and NFP Ambassador Training Program ($147 - amazing!), so you can learn how to practically support and change NFP in your parish! I'd love to know what you think of this episode and what else you would add!

I'm joined by Sarah Bartel, PhD, a moral theologian and Catholic sex and marriage coach, to dive deep into some challenging and enlightening topics about sex and marriage. Sarah and her husband, Nathan, have served thousands of Catholic couples through their CanaFeast online ministry, offering courses like the Abundant Marriage course and the Little Way of Marriage Workshop.

We also tackle the sometimes awkward but important conversation about addressing spiritual and physical needs in marriage, and why taking time for emotional connection and communication is essential. Whether you're looking for guidance in your own marriage or just wanting to better understand the Church's teachings on sex and intimacy, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical advice.

I'm joined by Mary Bruno, Creighton Practitioner, author, and co-founder of FAbM Base, to discuss her newest book, "Missing Pieces: Female Perspectives on Sex for Catholic Women", which I am also very honored to have contributed to! This book bridges the gap between your high school sex talks, male and female differences, and a healthy marriage with holy sex that is pleasurable for both spouses and a deep, rewarding intimacy whether you’re having it or saying “no” out of love. We're going to get into a particular chapter of her book about saying "no" to sex and the emotions, thoughts, and struggles that can arise when grappling with "no". This is an episode that you do not want to miss! GUEST BIO: Mary Bruno is a Catholic author and speaker, cofounder of the non-profit FAbM Base (fabmbase.org), and Creighton Practitioner who stumbled upon a vaginismus diagnosis nine long years after she was married. As a life-long practicing Catholic and ½ of a marriage prep mentor couple, it shocked her to discover how much she didn’t know about sex and marriage and set off to gain wisdom and knowledge through the Catechism, conversations with other women, her pelvic floor physical therapist who specializes in sexual dysfunction, and her trauma-certified counselor to help prepare herself and you for healthy sexual intimacy throughout marriage. She has been married for 11 years and lives in Louisiana with her amazing husband and adorable daughter who they adopted the day she was born. SHOWNOTES: Mary G.

I'm joined by Marguerite Duane to discuss restorative reproductive medicine (RRM) options for women, men, and couples navigating infertility or "unexplained infertility" diagnoses, who are then recommended in-vitro fertilization (IVF) as an option to conceive a child(ren). While we identify what IVF is and how it works, we spend the majority of our time discussing viable options for couples to conceive while getting at the root cause of health issues through RRM. We discuss success rates, how it works, and, of course, how informed consent plays into this very important conversation when making choices about how you start a family. This is part of a series of conversations I'm having with guests to explore varied aspects of IVF and RRM.

Should we watch sex scenes in movies? Could they negatively or positively impact marital sex? Today, I sit down with David and we talk about our own experiences navigating sex scenes in movies and the movie that challenged us to discuss how we would approach this issue in our own marriage moving forward. We don't have all the answers and we certainly aren't providing an extended dissertation with research. You're tuning into an honest conversation of what we've processed over the past few months and what steps we're taking to navigate sex scenes in shows & movies. This is a new style of podcast for us, so let us know what you think! And, if you agree or disagree with what we say, we want to know, so send us a DM on Instagram @managingyourfertility or an email at bridget@managingyourfertility.com.

It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other. It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others. It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. It is a grave offense. Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials."

What do you think about the idea of women saying "yes" to what God calls them to and not fitting into a particular box or stereotypical role? In this episode, I take a deep dive with my guest, Elise Gallagher, into what it means to be a Catholic woman who lives out her YES to God's calling in her life, while navigating the challenges of the often questionable "having it all" lifestyle. We don't stay surface-level in this podcast and we don't pretend to have all the answers. What we do know is this: God calls each one of us to something unique because we are made unique and unrepeatable. What does it look like to live this out with restrictive workplace environments, the "shoulds" for how to be the best woman, navigating marriage & family life, pondering if you should lean into your work or take a step back? I'm excited for you to listen to this one and go deeper in your own life to see where God is calling YOU to give your resounding "YES!" to Him and not be afraid to examine your life and where you're needed to take some holy action. Interviewee bio: Elise Crawford Gallagher is a wife and mom to two little girls. As of March 2023, she is the Vice President of Operations at her family business, JC Law, a regional law firm based in Baltimore, MD. Before JC Law, Elise was the Founder & CEO of Ringlet, a marketing agency focused on serving women-owned businesses. Elise built RINGLET from a one-woman show to a thriving multi-dimensional company with eight employees. Ringlet produced national, multi-level campaigns for startups around the country. Elise’s mission is to empower Catholic women to boldly step into their feminine genius to live the vocations God has called them to.Shownotes: Elise Gallagher: https://www.elisecgallagher.com/ Roll Your Way Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/roll-your-way/id1622634739CWIB: https://catholicwomeninbusiness.com/ Catholic Moms Made for Business: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/catholic-moms-made-for-business/id1588484474?i=1000614062360Jen Fulwiler Podcast: https://www.jenniferfulwiler.com/podcast/episode/3131f8ee/158-village-balanceSurveys on workplace and how many hours people workhttps://www.cnn.com/2022/08/01/business/4-day-work-week-uk-trial/index.htmlhttps://www.wsj.com/articles/after-testing-four-day-week-companies-say-they-dont-want-to-stop-a06089cchttps://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/02/21/four-day-work-week-results-uk/FemCatholic: women work inside and outside the home: https://www.femcatholic.com/post/we-need-better-support-for-women-working-outside-the-homeLeah Jacobson’s Wholistic Feminism and how women are not as happy as they initially were: https://www.amazon.com/Wholistic-Feminism-Healing-Identity-Movement/dp/1735223700SHOP MY AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://amzn.to/3MRxbTCSHOP MY BEAUTY & SKINCARE PRODUCTS: https://www.beautycounter.com/bridgetbusackerDISCOUNT CODES: 20% OFF PROOV TEST STRIPS: https://proovtest.com/?wly=5789320% OFF YOUR FIRST OLIVE & JUNE MANI KIT: http://fbuy.me/v/bridgetbusackerbc10% OFF YOUR TEMPDROP: http://www.tempdrop.com/discount/managingyourfertility3 MONTHS FREE & 20% OFF YOUR HALLOW SUBSCRIPTION: hallow.com/managingyourfertilityDISCLOSURE: This description may include affiliate links for products or services mentioned in the podcast.
