#143 Struggling with Natural Family Planning? What Your Body Reveals About God
Description
What if the way you see your body is quietly shaping the way you see God?
In this episode, I’m joined by Christina Valenzuela of Pearl & Thistle to talk about women’s health, Natural Family Planning, and the deeper spiritual implications of body literacy.
We discuss:
- Why so many women feel confused or embarrassed about their cycles
- How to know what’s “normal” and when to advocate for yourself
- The frustration and guilt many couples experience with NFP
- What the Church actually means by “serious reasons” for avoiding pregnancy
- Why understanding your body can actually strengthen your spiritual life
If you’ve ever felt dismissed by a doctor…
Guilty for struggling with NFP…
Or quietly frustrated with your body…
This conversation will bring clarity, compassion, and freedom.
Because reclaiming the goodness of your body isn’t just about health — it’s about trust. And the way we view our bodies often reveals how we view the God who designed them.
Christina brings both theological depth and practical wisdom to a topic that many Catholic women carry quietly. You are not crazy. You are not alone. And your body is not the enemy.
