#53 | From Saints to Cycles: Rediscovering the Female Body in God’s Story

from The Discerning Mother · host Brigid Tebaldi

In this conversation with Christina Valenzuela, founder of Pearl & Thistle, we explore how the feminine body speaks sacred truth, how saints lived fully embodied lives, and how deep body literacy invites women into fuller understanding of themselves and God’s design. Christina brings her theology and science rooted approach to menstrual and fertility education, inviting every woman and every age into a richer way of seeing the female body not as something to overcome, but as an intimate part of the human story. Connect with Christina’s work at Pearl & Thistle: https://pearlandthistle.com/ where faith and body literacy meet in thoughtful resources, courses, and books for Catholics at every life stage.
