Have you ever felt like you should understand your body by now, but no one ever really taught you how it works?

In this episode, I’m joined by Kate Douglas, a certified Fertility Awareness Educator and founder of Earthbody, to uncover the truth about what your cycle is actually trying to tell you.

Kate shares how fertility awareness and body literacy can completely change the way you understand your health, whether you’re trying to conceive, prevent pregnancy, or simply reconnect with your body. We talk about:

✨ The shocking truth about how many days you can actually get pregnant
✨ What your cervical fluid and temperature can reveal about your hormones
✨ Why most period-tracking apps get it wrong
✨ How learning to read your body’s signs can empower you to make informed choices
✨ The difference between the rhythm method and true fertility awareness

This episode is packed with aha moments that will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and more connected to your body than ever before.
