Today I am joined by a crowd favourite, the amazing Karinda, a naturopath & natural fertility educator to talk about natural contraception, an alternative to synthetic birth control & such a beautiful way to connect more with YOUR body & the magic she does for us.
We cover:
✨ What is natural contraception & the fertility awareness method
✨ What our 'fertile window' (when we can get pregnant) actually is each cycle
✨ How to know if you have ovulated / are in your fertile window
✨ Physical symptoms & biomarkers of ovulation
✨ COOLEST FACT EVER!!!
✨ How to connect & get to know your body
✨ Changes in your basal body temperature throughout your cycle & what it means
✨ What to be mindful of with tracking apps especially if you DON’T want to conceive
✨ Tuning in to your body vs using apps
✨ Your invitation, especially if you are on the pill
✨ Effectiveness of this method preventing pregnancy (I bet it's higher than you think!)

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
