Does sex feel like drudgery some days? Are you having sex less than you realize? Is the initiation ratio off with your partner? Do you have trouble compromising on how much sex is satisfying to you both? Does it feel like your sex drive will never match his?

Scheduling sex might be the solution for you!

We are certain that a healthy sex life is a huge aspect of healthy marriages, and sometimes you just simply need to be having more sex.

The idea of scheduling sex is meant to be used as a blueprint for getting closer, making time, communicating, and planning quality time- however this inspires you to meet those goals (with or without a schedule) is the goal of this conversation!

Episode 52:

Join us in welcoming our guest, Lisa Hendrickson-Jack for the second half of this two-part series all about birth control, hormones and fertility. (Hop back to Episode 51 to hear the first half!)

We begin this episode in the middle of a conversation about understanding your menstrual cycle, why hormonal birth control doesn't fix or cure period problems, and how to empower and advocate for your best reproductive wellness and health.

Lisa shares that although the missing link in women's health empowerment is education,  finding the right information, support and mindset is key. Because there is so much fear surrounding pregnancy and understanding fertility, our biggest work as women is moving from the head space of understanding and into the heart space of feeling and knowing.

Listen as we chat about the best ways to approach getting off hormonal contraceptives, and making a plan to prepare and support your body. Lisa also gives a realistic timeline of how long it takes to get a normal cycle back once birth control is discontinued.

Review with us which period symptoms are not normal and what to do about menstrual imbalances. You'll hear the side effects of the the pill including what deficiencies it creates, what toxicities is leaves behind and how to support your system as you transition away from hormonal contraceptives.

Lisa demonstrates the actionable steps for women who want to use a fertility awareness method as their main form of birth control. The sympto-thermal method being the most effective at a whopping 99.4% accuracy rate when done well.

You'll finish this episode feeling more aware, more empowered, and completely capable of beginning to read fertility signs as a marker for general health.

Episode 51:

Join us in welcoming our guest, Lisa Hendrickson-Jack for this two-part series all about birth control, hormones and fertility. Lisa is the host of the Fertility Friday Podcast, and is a Certified Fertility Awareness Educator, Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and the author of The Fifth Vital Sign.

Lisa chats with us about understanding your menstrual cycle and fertility as a chief indicator of health and empowerment. She shares why ovulating (which doesn't occur on hormonal birth control) is an important and necessary aspect of well-being.

Listen in as Lisa describes the false promises of hormonal birth control options and why they don't actually fix or cure period problems. You may be surprised to discover that the pill and other hormonal contraceptives can interfere with normal libido, moods and emotions, future fertility and creative energy.

Consider with us how fear and a lack of support and education paralyze women into misguided fertility management, and how we can advocate for ourselves better. Lisa encourages that we can avoid pregnancy without hormones, embrace and honor what our body is telling us, and accept and support our normal bodily functions.

Meet us back here in 1 week to experience the second half of this engaging conversation!
