69 - Dr. Marguerite Duane: Beyond IVF - Exploring Restorative Reproductive Medicine (IVF series)

I'm joined by Marguerite Duane to discuss restorative reproductive medicine (RRM) options for women, men, and couples navigating infertility or "unexplained infertility" diagnoses, who are then recommended in-vitro fertilization (IVF) as an option to conceive a child(ren). While we identify what IVF is and how it works, we spend the majority of our time discussing viable options for couples to conceive while getting at the root cause of health issues through RRM. We discuss success rates, how it works, and, of course, how informed consent plays into this very important conversation when making choices about how you start a family. This is part of a series of conversations I'm having with guests to explore varied aspects of IVF and RRM.


GUEST BIO:

Dr. Marguerite Duane, a board certified family physician, is co-founder and Executive Director of FACTS about Fertility, an organization dedicated to educating healthcare professionals and students about scientifically valid natural or fertility awareness based methods (FABMs). She also serves as an Adjunct Associate Professor at Georgetown University, and sees via housecalls through her direct primary care practice. Dr. Duane is trained as a Creighton, FEMM and NeoFertility Medical consultant, and a TeenSTAR educator. Dr. Duane balances her career as a teacher and Family Physician, with her role as a mother and wife. She is married to a fellow family physician, Dr. Kenneth Lin, and they are the parents of 4 young children.

68 - Dr. Tim Pawl: Can I say "no" to sex with my spouse? aka the marital debt! (part 3/3)

68 - Dr. Tim Pawl: Can I say "no" to sex with my spouse? aka the marital debt! (part 3/3)

Tim Pawl is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. He works on metaphysics, philosophical theology, and moral psychology.
In metaphysics he works on truthmaker theory, modality, and free will. In philosophical theology, he has published on transubstantiation, Christology, and Classical Theism. In moral psychology he has worked with psychologists on questions concerning how best to grow in virtue, and whether the traditional wisdom of the Christian moral tradition is conducive to growth in virtue. You can peruse his work, research and publications at his website:
https://timpawl.wordpress.com/.
This is a 3-part interview series discussing varied aspects of marital debt. Perhaps you've heard of this before or maybe this is the first time you've ever heard such a phrase. While this might sound like it's a heady conversation, Dr. Pawl does an incredible job of breaking down what the marital debt is, where it comes from, what it's not, and if it's possible to say "no" to your spouse for sex (is it actually morally permissible?). We go in-depth in this conversation and look at various aspects of this often-controversial topic!

65 - David & Bridget: Should we watch sex scenes in movies? Can they impact our own sex lives?

65 - David & Bridget: Should we watch sex scenes in movies? Can they impact our own sex lives?

Should we watch sex scenes in movies? Could they negatively or positively impact marital sex?

Today, I sit down with David and we talk about our own experiences navigating sex scenes in movies and the movie that challenged us to discuss how we would approach this issue in our own marriage moving forward.
We don't have all the answers and we certainly aren't providing an extended dissertation with research. You're tuning into an honest conversation of what we've processed over the past few months and what steps we're taking to navigate sex scenes in shows & movies.
This is a new style of podcast for us, so let us know what you think! And, if you agree or disagree with what we say, we want to know, so send us a DM on Instagram @managingyourfertility or an email at bridget@managingyourfertility.com.

59 - Elise Gallagher: Women's roles, living in "shoulds", and unleashing the feminine genius

59 - Elise Gallagher: Women's roles, living in "shoulds", and unleashing the feminine genius

What do you think about the idea of women saying "yes" to what God calls them to and not fitting into a particular box or stereotypical role?
In this episode, I take a deep dive with my guest, Elise Gallagher, into what it means to be a Catholic woman who lives out her YES to God's calling in her life, while navigating the challenges of the often questionable "having it all" lifestyle. We don't stay surface-level in this podcast and we don't pretend to have all the answers.
What we do know is this: God calls each one of us to something unique because we are made unique and unrepeatable.
What does it look like to live this out with restrictive workplace environments, the "shoulds" for how to be the best woman, navigating marriage & family life, pondering if you should lean into your work or take a step back?
I'm excited for you to listen to this one and go deeper in your own life to see where God is calling YOU to give your resounding "YES!" to Him and not be afraid to examine your life and where you're needed to take some holy action.
Interviewee bio:

57 - Dr. Sarah Bartel: Sex Q&A

57 - Dr. Sarah Bartel: Sex Q&A

I asked for YOUR questions about sex & intimacy and you all delivered!
I am sitting down with Dr. Sarah Bartel, moral theologian, to answer your questions. We are unafraid to get specific, honest, and address the nuances that can come from these kinds of questions, so we don't recommend this for young listeners.
List of questions we address:

  • Using vibrators okay? (many questions about this!)
  • Can the woman touch herself during sex? Is that the man’s job?
  • Intimacy when husband is recovering from porn addiction
  • How do you navigate low/non-existent libido for one or both partners? What’s licit?
  • Tips for initiating when I have spontaneous and hubby has responsive desire? Always feels awkward because it’s the opposite narrative you usually hear about. (many questions about this!)
  • How to orgasm at the same time? We achieved this once, and only once. Sometimes, orgasms happen before sex and can feel guilty about it.
  • Is it okay to have oral sex but then normal sex right after that?
  • NFP when getting to premenopausal, menopause, and post. TTA and sex is hard.
  • Growing in trust outside of the bedroom in order to have more trust during sex
  • How to get “one glass of wine” relaxed sex w/o the wine? So hard to shut down my brain & enjoy
  • What is okay when it comes to imagination? What isn’t? Sometimes, thinking about a scene from a movie or foreplay gets me more in the “zone” and engaging with my husband. Is that wrong?


Interviewee bio:
Sarah Bartel helps married Catholics grow closer to God and closer to their beloved at CanaFeast.com. A moral theologian and mom of five, she and her husband of twenty years created the Cana Feast virtual marriage ministry to help bring the benefits of marriage retreats to more couples.

56 - What is a priest's role when it comes to NFP?

56 - What is a priest's role when it comes to NFP?

What is priest's role when it comes to NFP? Here's my hot take.
We rely too heavily on our priests.
We think priests should take care of everything. We expect this in many areas of parish life and spiritual life, which I think is problematic because we are the church. We need to show up and support our priests and support our parish & our community.
Don't get me wrong: We NEED our spiritual fathers. Priests are so important!
When it comes to NFP, we expect priests to take care of everything. It's like a game of hot potato. As always, if you are loving the podcast, would you please consider leaving a review?! This helps the podcast grow, so these conversations can be shared and we can bring about a new wave of women's health care. It means so much - THANK YOU!

55 - THREE ways to market & promote NFP more effectively

55 - THREE ways to market & promote NFP more effectively

Maybe you've been a part of the marriage prep training that highlights NFP with frolicking couples smiling at each other and the promo that NFP is life-changing.

And then, it wasn't.

Well, not in the ways you anticipated. *cue all the emotions*

In this episode, I talk about THREE ways we can better market & promote NFP that honestly and hopefully shares how NFP impacts marriages and what you might expect, rather than a sanitized version that leaves many feeling isolated and guilt-ridden.

And, I'm sharing Christina Valenzuela's amazing Parish Planning Packet (only $17!) and NFP Ambassador Training Program ($147 - amazing!), so you can learn how to practically support and change NFP in your parish!

I'd love to know what you think of this episode and what else you would add!

54 - What does it look like to lean into YOUR NFP story?

54 - What does it look like to lean into YOUR NFP story?

Do we make space for every NFP story?
There are a lot of gaps when it comes to NFP. From marketing, teaching, instruction, spiritual direction... unless you happen to be in a great parish with a priest who is comfortable supporting parishioners, mentor couples to help with the practicals, and instructors to teach the science, it can feel like the wild west and you're on your own.
Today, I want to focus on what it looks like to own YOUR NFP story and your own journey of healing & refinement in your marriage.

Shownotes:
As mentioned in the episode, below are questions you can use as journaling prompts or to aid in a discussion with your spouse.
*REMINDER* These questions may bring up a lot of different reactions and emotions. Please be sure to invite the Holy Spirit into the conversation and use these as prompts. Perhaps, you choose one question to focus on or maybe a couple. Do not force conversation and be tender with each other.

  • What are the joys of NFP for us?
  • What are the challenges of NFP for us?
  • Do we like using NFP?
  • What do we not like about using NFP?
  • Where do we feel like we could grow?
  • What areas of our marriage have NFP shined a flashlight on or magnified issues for us?
  • Do we understand how to chart or has this been a source of stress for us?
  • Do we understand and feel comfortable with discernment or does it create stress for our marriage?
  • Where could we use more support?
  • What would make NFP easier for us?
  • What would help us feel less alone or isolated?
  • Are we being called to share our story of NFP with others (maybe even being honest about the journey we're on rather than we've "made it")? If not, why not?
  • Do we need healing in other areas of our marriage?

49 - Rebekah Knobeloch: Purity Culture Impacts You In More Ways Than You Think

What the heck is purity culture?
Do you have command over your virginity or is it something your husband owns?
How has purity culture negatively impacted sex?
I'm sitting down with Bekah from Feminine Genius Ministries to get really honest about purity culture, what it is, and how it's impacting the way we as women see ourselves. And, how this lens negatively impacts sex, too!
This episode gets into the nitty gritty and I love how Bekah doesn't hold back, but really sits with challenging ideologies and addresses the core issues of a movement that had good intentions - but it totally missed the mark.
And, don't worry - we leave you with practical, hopeful tools that can help facilitate healing and a far better view of yourself & sex!

48 - Does Your Mindset Impact Your View of the Opposite Sex... and Sex Itself?

In this episode, I explore mindset and how our thought patterns impact the way we live, think, and experience freedom or enslavement in our daily lives.
I also talk about some of the core issues of men and women as it relates to Genesis 3:16, specifically addressing disordered desire (women) and domination (men), and how this dis-integration from original sin impacts our mindset in how we view equality and the differences of men & women.
And, finally, having this foundational episode, I start to explore how this can impact the way we view sex and how identifying our thoughts and where they may come from can help us experience greater freedom and the kind of life we hope for (and are made for!) versus what we're currently experiencing.

47 - Bridget & David on Sexual Sins

I sit down with David to talk about sexual sin, chastity, and about our own struggles to make sense of "how far is too far?" and never getting a straight-shooting answer from Catholic resources. This is the conversation we wished someone had with us and shared with us to help us understand HOW to identify sexual sin, WHAT to do about it, and WHERE to go for continued support to heal and integrate our love. And, news flash: sexual sin & failing in chastity aren't fixed by marriage. But, through grace in marriage, healing, and honest conversations - it CAN get way better and the possibility of freedom is there in Jesus Christ and in our courage to choose a new way to live and to love. We hope you enjoy this episode and it brings about fruitful conversations in your relationships!

44 - Does Sacrificial Love Mean Never Saying No to Sex with Your Spouse?

Does sacrificial love mean you never refuse your spouse sex?  Can women enjoy sex or does it have to be a thing you "get through"?  Is it the husband's job to help you have great sex, too?  In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Sarah Bartel, co-founder of Cana Feast, to talk about sex and the work she does through her course & coaching program, My Delight, to help women have better sex with their spouses, learn practical skills for improved communication, understanding your libido and arousal curve, etc. It's such an amazing opportunity for women to receive practical support and not live in "I just gotta muscle through it" land when it comes to sex!  Shownotes:  Cana Feast: https://www.canafeast.com/  My Delight (registration open Feb 13-16): https://bridgetbusacker.krtra.com/t/lVxsdr8BUKoQ Sarah's other episode with me: https://anchor.fm/managingyourfertility/episodes/12---Dr--Sarah-Bartel-How-to-Strengthen-Your-Marriage--Sex-Life-e19bb4j Gaudium Et Spes: https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651207_gaudium-et-spes_en.html  Theology of the Body General Audience 33: https://www.amazon.com/Man-Woman-He-Created-Them/dp/0819874213/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3HMHFH0ZPGWKG&keywords=theology+of+the+body&qid=1675961149&s=books&sprefix=theology+of+the+bod%2Cstripbooks%2C316&sr=1-4  General Audience 33 section 6: "It seems that the second creation account has assigned ot the man "from the beginning" the function of the one who above all receives the gift (see Gen 2:23).

42 - The Complicated History of the Pill & Women's Healthcare

42 - The Complicated History of the Pill & Women's Healthcare

Today, I get lit up about the history of contraception, the limitations its placed on women (rather than freeing us) and the complications it's caused to our health. This conversation is the beginning of many because this topic is nuanced, challenging, and deserves more airtime than one episode. 

But, this episode IS intended to get you thinking about your own health and choices. What do you want your health to look like? How do you want to show up in the world? What does it mean for you to have fertility freedom? 

I'd love to hear from you on this one, so feel free to reach out!

41 - Amanda Grimes: Let's Talk about the Messiness of NFP

What happens when NFP doesn't go the way you thought it would?
How do you respond when you get a positive pregnancy test and you're feeling ALL the feels?
Is it okay to love and hate NFP at the same time?

My dear friend, Amanda, is joining me today to get REAL about NFP, share her story, and start conversations about the realities, struggles, and goodness of NFP. She believes that both the hard & the good can co-exist when it comes to using NFP in your daily life (and, I agree with her!). Amanda's vulnerability and willingness to share her own story in the hopes of helping and supporting other women is so inspiring to me and I'm so honored she joined me on the podcast to do just that. Don't miss this incredible episode!

Interviewee bio:
Amanda Grimes is a Catholic convert who is a wife & SAHM. She and her husband have been married for 7 years and they have 3 kids and one on the way.

40 - Jen Messing: How to Live as Gift - Going Deeper into the Theology of the Body

40 - Jen Messing: How to Live as Gift - Going Deeper into the Theology of the Body

How do you live out Theology of the Body in your daily life?
What does it mean to embrace your body and your personhood?
Can you live in integration with your body AND soul? Or, does one have more value than the other?


I have the great joy of sitting down with my friend, Jen Messing, to talk about all things Theology of the Body. The conversation is nuanced, fun, and so insightful! Jen is so on fire with the Holy Spirit and does an excellent job making TOB accessible for all ages.

Her background is in social work and she quickly realized that a lot of the hard issues that get to the heart of who we are as individuals can't be addressed without a deeper understanding of personhood and how our bodies play a very significant role in our lives, our wounds, and our healing.

If you've ever wondered what Theology of the Body is and HOW to lean in and live it out, this episode is for you!

Interviewee bio:
Launching from her hometown of Minneapolis, MN, Jen Messing has been teaching both youth and adults how to apply the theology of the body since 2002. With an undergraduate degree in Social Work and a Master of Theological Studies, Jen founded Into the Deep in 2012 to formally speak, teach, and lead camping retreats around the country.

39 - Living Integrated Means Understanding Your Body

39 - Living Integrated Means Understanding Your Body

When we understand ourselves as women, we're able to show up fully to whatever table (or tables!) we sit at. When we're integrated, we can make informed, intentional choices in our lives that impact our progress: both the physical and spiritual goals we have for ourselves.

Today, I'm leaning into the conversation that fertility awareness is medical & soul care. It's not one or the other. When we lean into our whole selves as women, we embrace the reality of our goodness and that our ENTIRE PERSON is good.

I can't wait for you to hear this one!

Have you ever wondered if it's okay to have great sex?
Do you worry about Googling your questions only to come up with something you wish you could unsee?
Are you wondering how the heck to have conversations about sex when it seems like it's taboo in Catholic circles?

Let's kick off season 3 by talking about sex, baby! Bridget sits down with Brandy Norton, founder of Good Catholic Sex, a resource for Catholic men and women who have questions they need answered about sex & intimacy, to get real about sex, intimacy, and the nitty gritty details.

Sex isn't dirty. We're here to have a respectful, thoughtful, and honest conversation about the common questions and fears that come up for engaged, newly married, and married longer and wondering if sex should work by now folks. If you fit somewhere in that spectrum, you're in great company!

This content is not appropriate for little ears, as it is explicit about aspects of sex (i.e. clarification of oral stimulation vs. oral sex).
