  • Episode 75: Beyond the pill - introduction to natural family planning, with Dr Emily Kirkwold Pharmacist
    Mar 16 2023
    Today, Dr Emily Kirkwold, Pharmacist and Natural Family Planning expert, is coming to the show. We will be talking about how to use the NFP fertility method if you choose to ditch the pill and go with a more natural contraception method. I want to add that I’m absolutely not anti-pill but instead sharing with you valuable information on how to take control of your cycle and fertility without going the synthetic hormone way. Dr. Emily empowers women to care for and love their bodies. She is a pharmacist by background, but takes that medical background and uses her knowledge and passion to teach women and couples about natural family planning. She is the founder and CEO of NFP Pharmacist, where she teaches classes, sees patients, and speaks on natural family planning and natural approaches to health. She is also the co-creator of the Unlock Your Cycle online course, teaching cycle tracking for health. In this episode, Emily and I talked about: 🔄 Why the pill might be an issue for some women and what could make us look for more natural ways of taking charge of our fertility 🔄 What is natural family planning and how does it work 🔄 How to know when you’re ovulating: learn and know the signs that your body is busy with ovulation 🔄 Postpartum menstrual cycle health: is it possible to get pregnant before getting our periods back and how to track where we’re at?

  • Episode 74: Reconnect to who you truly are, with Claudia-Sam Cataford Sauve, Soul Connection Coach
    Feb 23 2023

    Today, Claudia-Sam Cataford Sauve, Soul Connection Coach, is coming to the show. We will be talking about how to reconnect to our true selves, especially when we feel overwhelmed, disconnected from who we used to be, and trying to embrace a new identity.

    Claudia-Sam supports ambitious happiness seekers who've lost sense of their purpose, who haven't learned to put themselves first, who deep down know that they're here for a more significant reason, and who are ready for a change!

    She helps them to put themselves at the top of their to-do list (without feeling unproductive), ditch the self-care guilt and flex their soul connection muscle so that they can be their own inner guides to fulfillment and happiness now, using her Tune-In method.

    In this episode, Claudia-Sam and I talked about:

    🧘‍♀️ What it means to find ourselves again

    🧘‍♀️ Her tune-in methodology and what kind of transformation you can expect from it

    🧘‍♀️ Her 3-step framework: balance, connect, and trust
