Hello welcome to my series Motherhood Out Loud. A safe place for mothers to talk openly about their experiences without fear of judgement or shame. My hope for this is to allow women to realize that we are not alone in the variety of emotions we feel duri
We talk with Lauren. She's 29 years old married with two children. She tells us her birth stories, her son was born in the hospital, she became a doula and when she was pregnant with her daughter she knew she'd want a home birth.

In this episode we talk to Kari Beadner, CFCP, CBD and owner of Ashwood Fertility Care Center. We talk about her journey to becoming what she calls a wholistic women's health advocate. Her passion for women is evident in the work she does as a birth doula, bereavement doula, and FertilityCare Practitioner. We talk in depth about fertility awareness methods more specifically the Creighton Model of cycle charting, Napro Technology and the work she does through her business. This episode is a great way to reclaim power over our cycles and give hope to women who have struggled with painful periods, heavy or irregular cycles, infertility, recurrent miscarriages and so much more. If you are a woman, raising women, this episode is for you! Karla and I were left asking why we weren't taught about this sooner, but are so happy that we know now. Kari is doing such important work with not only reaching women that are of child-bearing age, but also those who are younger and helping us all be proud of our cycles instead of seeing them as a woe of womanhood.
