Family Planning 101: The Fair Play Game May 27, 2020

Show notes

Today’s episode is the 8th part of our Family Planning Series, and we’re talking all about the little things we do every day that often go unnoticed.

To help us with this topic, I enlisted my husband Eric for a candid conversation on how we divvy things up, and Author Eve Rodsky, who has crafted a real world solution for dividing the 100 or so invisible tasks that must get done every day as part of her book "Fair Play".

By the end of this episode you should have a clear picture of the importance of domestic responsibility and be able to set the “every day” of your life up for success.

If you’re listening to this episode before having kids, that’s even better. Put the system in place early and you’ll be way ahead of the game.

Family Planning 101: Let's Talk About Sex Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

Let’s Talk About Sex. Not in the Cosmopolitan headline, “21 Mind Blowing Sex Moves You’ve Never Tried” kind of way. But rather about the things that are actually going to help make your sex life, your relationship, and your marriage better. According to Dr. Renee Hilliard, a former OBGYN turned Sex and Love Coach, nearly 85% of people have some difficulty with getting their sex life back after kids, or struggled during the baby making process. That means that most of you listening to this episode will find something to relate to:

Today’s episode is the 5th part of our Family Planning Series, and we’re talking all about sex and intimacy, specifically during this period of your life where you’re either trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum. By the end of this episode you should learn some new communication skills, feel more confident discussing vulnerable topics like painful sex, orgasms, sex shaming, and be on track for a deeper connection with your partner.

Family Planning 101: Alternative Healthcare Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

Today’s episode is the 3rd part of our Family Planning Series, and we’re talking all about Naturopathic and Alternative medicine for reproduction and fertility. By the end of this episode you should have a much better idea of what naturopathic doctors do, whether this is the right route for you, and gain a better understanding of the connection between your overall well-being and how that might affect your ability to get pregnant. In western culture, alternative medicine has a bit of a stigma associated with it -- namely that it’s practices or medicines may not have a body of scientific evidence that proves their effectiveness. But as our Doctors, Dr. Aimee, Raupp and Dr. Saru Bala tell us in this episode, naturopathic medicine is actually more of a bridge between the conventional and alternative world of medicine, often giving you a more complete picture of your overall health.
