The female reproductive system is truly incredible, and it’s a bit surprising that we aren’t taught more about our own bodies as women. The way it’s intricately designed is just so smart, and the best part is, you can actually observe and understand your own unique body. How amazing is that!
That’s why when I stumbled upon this book, “Taking Charge of Your Fertility” by Toni Weschler, I went through a rollercoaster of emotions while reading it. I kept thinking, “Why didn’t I know all of this about my body?” It was like a lightbulb moment – “So that’s what it means!” I realized things I thought were normal weren’t necessarily so, and it made me feel incredibly empowered. All in all, I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and now I’m genuinely grateful for the knowledge I’ve gained about my own body.
I made three podcast episodes with a friend talking about what we both learnt having read the book. You can listen to it below.
Think of it like an online commonplace for things I learn about being a woman, a mother, a wife, a homemaker while bringing glory to God.
In this captivating episode, we delve into the fascinating concept that your body is an exquisite masterpiece, crafted with extraordinary precision by God. As women, we have the privilege of experiencing a truly remarkable phenomenon known as the menstrual cycle. Surprisingly, this topic remains shrouded in mystery for many women, denying them the valuable insights that come from knowing their bodies intimately.
We invite you to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery as we explore the importance of understanding your body yourself. By gaining knowledge about your menstrual cycle, you unlock a deeper understanding of your overall health and well-being. You become attuned to the subtle rhythms and changes within your body, enabling you to make informed decisions about your physical and emotional well-being.
Knowing your body empowers you to advocate for yourself in healthcare settings, fostering a sense of autonomy and confidence. It allows you to detect irregularities or potential health concerns, prompting you to seek appropriate medical attention when needed.
Together, let us unravel the mysteries and celebrate the wisdom that comes from embracing this intimate connection that God made.
