Wholeness, Fertility Awareness, and Reverencing Our Bodies — with Bridget Busacker
Season 3, Episode 20 | Originally aired on June 8, 2021
About the episode
"This is going beyond just knowing our cycles and loving our bodies, but loving who we are as persons and recognizing the person in front of us."
When Bridget Busacker got engaged, she and her now-husband started looking for a natural family planning method to start them off. But the research process showed that this wasn't as simple as they thought. Wanting to take action in the fertility awareness space, she co-founded Managing Your Fertility, a one-stop shop for women to learn more about and compare different NFP methods. Her hope is to build out the space and make an impact in women's health, not only for herself, but for her daughters and future generations.
In this episode, Bridget and I talk about how she became interested in charting and fertility awareness, how she started Managing Your Fertility, and how becoming a mother empowered her to jump head first into this work full-time.
