Description

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
