Does body literacy matter?
I'm sitting down with Christina Valenzuela, founder of Pearl & Thistle, and author of the book, "Cycle Charting for Single Women: The Catholic woman's guide to charting your menstrual cycle for health and wholeness". We discuss the need for body literacy, what it is, and how charting can help women embrace who they are & who they are called to be. We get into the nuances of charting and Christina is amazing at integrating the theology and the science in understanding the whole human person (body & soul)! I'm so excited for you to listen to this incredible conversation.
Her book is available on Amazon and would make a great gift for yourself or for a friend! Let's help women learn their bodies and embrace their bodies entirely!
