Many Christian couples reserve sex for marriage, but *how they go about doing that* can have a huge impact on their physical intimacy after they get married. What is a dating couple supposed to do to keep healthy boundaries while not shutting down their natural sexual desire? What about married couples who found out after marriage that their strict attempts at gatekeeping made intimacy more challenging now that there are no longer any "rules"? I'm joined by pelvic floor occupational therapist, Jess Seitz, to discuss this common struggle we see among our Christian clients and the HOPE that is available for both dating and married couples! We talk about ways to honor God's good design of sexual desire while still maintaining faithful dating choices as well as something you can start doing today to heal your hurt if you're married and struggling in this way. This episode is full of helpful discussion and practical tips that we hope encourage listeners! NOTE: This episode is not appropriate for all audiences as it talks openly and explicitly about sexual concerns and realities.  GUEST BIO: Jess Seitz is a trauma-informed pelvic floor occupational therapist and founder of Pain Free Intimacy, where she works as a vaginismus recovery coach to help women from around the world break free of the pain and frustration of vaginismus to enjoy intimacy the way it was intended.

Are women and men equal? Yes. Are they different? Yes. Can both statements be true? Yes! But how that plays out is often where things get sticky. Yet, acknowledging the physical differences between women and men has massive influence on who we are as a culture, a society, family unit, and individuals. In today's episode, Caitlin talks with author, mother, and thinker, Leah Sargeant, about her most recent book, The Dignity of Dependence. Leah shares how our understanding of dependence is highlighted by the female body, but being dependent may not mean what you think it does. During our discussion, we touch on: - feminism and women's dignity - cultural assumptions that have impacted women's healthcare - the role of a contraceptive culture vs reality - the empowering gift of being a woman - the importance about sharing your authentic experience with the world. I really enjoyed chatting with Leah and I think you'll enjoy it too. GUEST BIO: Leah Sargeant is the author of The Dignity of Dependence, and runs the Substack Other Feminisms. She lives in Maryland with her husband and three kids. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.

Are women wired to experience sexual desire around ovulation alone? Why does it plummet afterward? Is this the way it's supposed to be? And are there natural ways to increase sexual desire or increase libido? Today's episode welcomes Catholic sexuality and intimacy coach, Ellen Holloway, to discuss what exactly makes women feel sexual desire and how to recognize if yours is low or normal.  We discuss things like:  ⭐️ What libido is and why we experience it  ⭐️ The biological barriers that stifle healthy sexual desire  ⭐️ Steps you can take to restore sexual desire in your marriage NOTE: Due to subject matter and terminology, it is likely inappropriate for some audiences.  GUEST BIO: Ellen Holloway is the host of the Reclaiming Catholic Intimacy podcast, where she helps Catholic wives rebuild desire, experience pleasure, and strengthen their marriages while staying fully in line with Church teaching.

Instead of waiting for that to happen, Bettina went in search of another opinion and discovered NaProTechnology.

It's not easy being a woman in the world, especially physically. As much as we would like to pretend it doesn't make a difference, it impacts our lives, not only on a physical level, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. And especially when that physical reality is painful or broken or abusive, where is God to be found? For author Hannah Miller King, it was in the simple act of communion. Today's episode looks at the beauty and power of communion for connection with Jesus and healing the broken places we feel in our bodies as women. NOTE: Please be aware that this episode does mention sexual abuse and trauma.  GUEST BIO: Hannah Miller King is a mom, Anglican priest, and writer. She is the associate rector at The Vine Anglican Church in Clyde, NC and the author of Feasting on Hope: How God Sets A Table in the Wilderness.

Hanna prefers holistic medicine and homeopathy to modern medical advancements so when her doctor recommended a laparoscopy for possible endometriosis, she wasn't thrilled. This began a journey of determining whether or not this surgery would be right for her specifically and she shares that honest journey with us in today's podcast. Whether or not you suspect endometriosis, many of us will face some tough medical calls in the midst of the unknown and it's hard to make a decision when we don't know the future. Yet, we have to make a decision one way or another because even choosing not to act is a choice in and of itself. So how do we choose? What things do we consider? How do we find peace with the next step forward? We discuss these and more in today's episode. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.
