169. From Fertility Awareness to Home Birth

In this week's episode I had the great pleasure of interviewing, Bekah Yawn.Bekah is a faith-centered hormone coach, FEMM-trained fertility educator, and certified doula, as well as the host of the For the Love of Hormones podcast.After experiencing multiple miscarriages and receiving few answers from conventional care, Bekah began studying cycle charting, hormone balance, and root-cause fertility support through both a scientific and biblical lens.She now serves women worldwide through her signature program, The Fertility Framework, where she helps uncover underlying hormone imbalances, irregular cycles, and fertility challenges using natural, evidence-based tools paired with prayer and faith-centered encouragement. In addition to her coaching and education work, Bekah also supports women as a birth doula- walking alongside them through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with advocacy, education, and spiritual support. Her mission is to help women understand their bodies, trust God’s design, and find peace and confidence in every season of the fertility journey.I hope you enjoy the lovely conversation I had with her!Lifted Spirit Youtube Chanel- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaYmdCtnq0y8d1aZdSl7JvQStop in the name of God - https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PBConnect with Bekah - https://bekahyawn.com/Faith-based fertility booklet -  www.bekahyawn.com/bookletConnect with Holly - https://rosebudwellness.com/

Perhaps you have noticed that it has been quite a while since I posted a podcast episode!I have had WAY too much on my plate lately so the podcast has taken a backseat. The podcast was also feeling a bit stale with the same sorts of conversations. Lately, I am feeling more expansive and the many different directions this podcast can (and will!!) go in.I am pleased to share that I am back with a really fun episode with Sabrina of Cyclisity. In case you didn't know she is the niece of Toni Weschler - Author of Taking Charge of Your Fertility!Cyclisity is a new cycle tracking app based on the Taking Charge of Your Fertility book. This book has been an essential tool for me and many of the other FAM practitioners that I know!Cycle tracking apps can be confusing with algorithms, predictions and a variety of different words that are being used to describe the same thing!This app uses the same terminology as the Taking Charge of Your Fertility Book and even gives reference pages to learn more about each of the elements involved in charting your cycle.
