For the Love of Hormones- Miscarriage, Hormone Balance, Progesterone, TTC, Cycle Tracking,Conception

I love progesterone. It's the sustaining, life-giving hormone that holds a pregnancy, and the beautiful thing is that God designed our bodies so we can support it naturally.

In this episode I share the story of a client who was "eating clean" but wasn't eating enough, and who was exercising far beyond moderation. Her body was stuck in survival mode. I walk you through what progesterone actually does after ovulation and why your luteal phase length matters so much for implantation. Then I share the three things I believe make the biggest difference for your progesterone: prayer...

If you're in the two-week wait right now, wondering if this is the cycle, this episode is for you.

I'm sharing a vision Jesus gave me while I was praying through the wedding at Cana. He asked me to fill the vase with water, and then he asked me to step out of the room. You've done your part, friend. Now it's time to let him do what only he can do. I'll also give you a short prayer to pray every night while you wait, plus the physical clues on your chart that may hint you're...

If you're listening because you've just walked through a chemical pregnancy or early miscarriage, sister, I'm so glad you're here. Your baby was real, your grief is real, and you're not alone.

Today I share an opening the Lord put on my heart (one I honestly didn't want to do), we read Romans 5 together on what suffering produces, and then I walk you through my three tips for healing after loss — spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

Episode Highlights:

Have you ever known exactly what you "should" eat for your hormones — and still struggled to actually do it? I've watched so many of my clients wrestle with this, and today I'm bringing in someone who has the answers.

Brittany Braswell, MS, RDN, LD, is a registered dietitian, speaker, host of the Faith-Filled Food Freedom podcast, and creator of the Joy Filled Eater Course. She helps Christian women break free from food guilt, body image struggles, and diet culture with a faith-centered, practical approach. Together we talk about why food rules backfire, how shame sneaks in, and ho...

If you've ever tried to "fix" your body by eating less and working out harder, this conversation is for you. I'm joined by Coryn Brown and Crysanne Clay, the mother-daughter coaching team behind Her Healthy Body, who spent years caught in diet culture before God showed them a completely different way to care for their bodies.

We talk about how restriction and over-exercise can burn out your hormones and make ovulation harder, what truly nourishing your body looks like, and why 15 minutes of strength training may do more for you than an hour of cardio. Most of...

A couple of weeks after one of my miscarriages, I called my doctor about some intense stomach pain, and she asked me a simple question: "Are you ovulating?" I had no idea. I couldn't even tell you what ovulation was, let alone whether it was happening in my body.

That phone call started me down the path that led to everything I teach today. In this episode, I walk you through the ovulation cycle the way I teach it inside Fertility Framework: the four main hormones, what a healthy ovulatory and luteal phase look like, the three...

Your app says you ovulated. Your OPK lit up. But did your body actually ovulate? In this episode I'm sharing why period apps and ovulation predictor kits can't confirm ovulation on their own, how relying on their predictions can cause you to miss your fertile window, and why I believe the final word on your fertility should come from the body God designed and the wisdom He gives you, not an algorithm.

Episode highlights:

Do you feel like a completely different person the week before your period? Irritable, anxious, exhausted, maybe snapping at your husband over nothing? Friend, that might be more than "just PMS." It could be low progesterone.

In this episode, I'm walking through the top three low progesterone symptoms to watch for when you're trying to get pregnant. But first, we're starting where I always want to start: with our faith. What's happening in our bodies is so connected to what's happening in our souls, and it is really hard to bear the fruit of the Spirit when...

If you've ever wondered whether your infertility or your losses mean you're somehow cursed by God — sister, I need you to hear this episode. Today we're going all the way back to Genesis 3 to unpack what the "curse" actually was, who it fell on, and why sorrow and conception being connected in Scripture doesn't mean you've been singled out or exiled.

We'll also walk through Revelation 12 and talk honestly about the spiritual warfare that surrounds fertility, pregnancy, and birth — not to scare you, but to give you perspective and put you back on your knees in p...

Growing up, I thought brown spotting was just a normal part of my period. I didn't know any different. Until I learned that for most women, it's actually a sign your body is asking for help. In this episode, I'm breaking down when brown bleeding is genuinely no big deal, when it crosses the line, and what it might be telling you about your hormones, especially your progesterone.

"This app told me I ovulated." Sister, I hear it constantly — and every time, I have to fight the urge to roll my eyes. Because here's the truth: an algorithm cannot tell you what your body is actually doing. Today I'm breaking down why fertility apps so often get it wrong, and what real, God-given science actually reveals about your ovulation.

We start by grounding ourselves in Matthew 6:25–34. We let go of the worries, deep concerns and anxiousness that is connected to our bodies and our desire for a baby. And then dive into the incr...

You just saw the two lines. Before you call your doctor, before you tell your husband, before you do anything else — I believe there's one thing you're called to do first. In today's episode, I'm walking through the spiritual first step every woman needs after a positive pregnancy test, anchored in the story of Mary's "yes" to the angel Gabriel in the Gospel of Luke.

Episode Highlights:

This week I'm joined by Amy, one of my former doula clients, for her very first podcast — and it is such an honor to share her story with you. Amy walks us through two miscarriages, the holistic root-cause care that helped her family heal in between, and the beautifully unusual, deeply prayerful birth of her son, Andrew.

From a centuries-old Marian devotion to a hospital room filled with Gregorian chant and prayer intentions for other women still waiting — Amy's story is a picture of what it looks like to hold suffering and hope together.

Postpartum Fertility, FIAT - Let It Be & the Return of Your Cycle

Got baby fever while you're still breastfeeding? You're not alone — and today I'm walking you through what's actually happening hormonally in your body during this postpartum, nursing season, plus how to say "fiat" (let it be) to God's timing for your next pregnancy.

We start with Ecclesiastes 3:1 and Mary's own "fiat" to Gabriel, then get into the nerdy fertility science. What is prolactin and how can it suppress ovulation? What does weaning actually do to your hormone timeline? And wh...

If you're in the two-week wait right now, fighting the urge to control every detail, this one's for you. I'm sharing the story of a mom and her exhausted toddler on a plane — and what it taught me about how hard it is to actually surrender to Jesus instead of just white-knuckling through the waiting.

We sit with Matthew 11:28 — "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" — and I get honest about a prideful pattern in my own prayer life I'm still unlearning: thinking that praying the "right"...

Today I'm joined by Abigale Ball, a past Fertility Framework client who is now eight months pregnant with her second baby — a girl! Abigail opens up about the mysterious, unexplained pain she experienced while trying to conceive her son, the deliverance and inner healing ministry that became a turning point in her physical and emotional healing, and what her cycle charts actually looked like heading into both pregnancies (spoiler: they weren't "perfect," and that's exactly the point).

We talk honestly about secondary infertility fears, the difference between relying on the physical versus trusting the spiritual, an...

After three miscarriages, my husband and I weren't looking for permission to just "try again" — we were looking for answers. In this episode, I'm sharing the one truth about pregnancy after loss that my doctor never mentioned: learning how to chart your cycle through a fertility awareness method.

Episode Highlights:

We're almost 200 episodes in, and this July we're finally giving our husbands some airtime. Today's episode I am talking straight to your husband, giving him three practical, biblical ways he can help you feel truly loved in the trying-to-conceive season. Share this one with your husband.

Episode Highlights

In this episode, the conversation continues with Nick and Haley of Thriving Kingdom Marriage. And the subject? Something we don’t discuss nearly enough on the fertility journey: your marriage.

Trying to conceive doesn't just test your body. It tests your communication, your patience, and it has a sneaky way of resurrecting wounds from your past you didn't even know were still there. Nick and Haley get vulnerable about their own story and they walk us through the practical, faith-filled tools they use in their own home and in their coaching practice.

This week I'm handing the mic to someone who's been walking this journey right alongside me: my husband, Adam. After losing our daughter Hannah at 12 weeks, I've told my side of our story more times than I can count. But today, Adam shares his. If you're a wife wondering how to help your husband process, or a husband wondering how to show up for his grieving wife, this conversation is for you.

This is a heavy one — and I mean that in the holiest way.

I recorded this episode with a dear friend on my heart. She just walked through a miscarriage, and I've been right there with her — sitting on her doorstep, going to the memorial, feeling every layer of it. And if you've ever been in that place where everyone around you is still pregnant and you're not, I made this for you.

Because that feeling — of watching someone keep the gift that was taken from you — is one of the hardest...

After a loss, one of the most tender questions a woman can ask is: Is my body ready to try again? In this episode, I'm walking you through the three signs I look for — the ones I wish someone had walked me through after my own three miscarriages.

We open in Isaiah 43:19 — "Behold, I am doing a new thing" — and let that promise anchor everything we dig into. Because this episode isn't just about physical readiness. It's about what it looks like to partner with the Lord in this process, lean into wise counsel, and discer...

If you've ever walked out of your doctor's office after a miscarriage feeling dismissed, unheard, or like there just had to be more you could do — this episode is for you.

After three of my own losses, I went looking for better answers. And I found them. Today I'm sharing the three things that 97% of doctors are not going to walk you through before you try to get pregnant again — and why doing this work before conception matters more than anything you'll do after that positive test.

Could mold be the hidden root cause behind your infertility, miscarriages, or mystery symptoms? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Aubree Felderhoff — founder of Mold Free Mom and a board-certified holistic health practitioner — who spent 12 years and over $250,000 consulting more than 30 doctors before finally discovering that mold was the culprit behind her debilitating illness.

Aubree's story is a powerful testament to God's faithfulness and the importance of digging deeper when conventional medicine keeps coming up short. If you've been doing everything "right" and still not seeing results, this one is for you, frie...

Are you or your husband considering IUI or IVF? Before you take that next step, there's a foundational conversation we need to have — one that most fertility clinics skip entirely. In this episode, I break down the missing pieces that must be addressed before IUI or IVF is ever on the table. Rooted in Proverbs 3, I walk you through why these medical procedures don't fix root issues, what your body actually needs to heal, and how to seek God's wisdom and discernment in one of the hardest seasons of your life.

Episode highlights:

Have you been told IUI or IVF is your “next step”… but deep down, you still have questions?

This episode is not about pretending things are easy. It’s about understanding the difference between happiness and biblical joy and learning how suffering can deepen our fai...
