Most of us have had the experience of growing up in the dark when it comes to how our bodies work, and specifically, how pregnancy works. My guest in this episode, Cecilie, is a certified fertility awareness method teacher and cycle coach who is passionate about helping women learn to manage their fertility naturally. However, to do this, we must first acknowledge the deep fear and shame that can come with our menstrual cycles.

Cecilie and I both share parts of the process that we experienced on our way to becoming more aware of our monthly cycles. We cover what birth control meant to us at first, why we decided to come off of it, and what it took to get to the place where we FINALLY felt comfortable trusting the signs and signals we were seeing.

We then get into talking about the real life of using FAM - Fertility Awareness Method, and considerations we made before trying it. This is where we get into really deep beautiful conversation around our cycles, and unpacking some of the fear mindset.

Cecilie offers a 12 week program called Cycle Alchemy, and regularly shares about menstrual blood, cervical mucus, natural contraception, freebirth and cyclical living on her Instagram. We hope you enjoy this conversation. There will be a part 2 around empowered birth, so leave any questions in the box on this page, or reach out to me at @hormonoscope on Instagram.
