Postpartum Fertility, FIAT - Let It Be & the Return of Your CycleGot baby fever while you're still breastfeeding? You're not alone — and today I'm walking you through what's actually happening hormonally in your body during this postpartum, nursing season, plus how to say "fiat" (let it be) to God's timing for your next pregnancy.We start with Ecclesiastes 3:1 and Mary's own "fiat" to Gabriel, then get into the nerdy fertility science. What is prolactin and how can it suppress ovulation? What does weaning actually do to your hormone timeline? And what about other root-cause issues — such as the thyroid, gut, adrenals, inflammation — and can they keep your cycle from bouncing back?Episode Highlights:Why prolactin can suppress your ovulatory hormones (FSH, estrogen, LH, progesterone) while breastfeedingWhat actually happens hormonally when you wean — and why it can take 2 to 6 cycles to fully resetThe Mary "FIAT" framework for surrendering your fertility timeline to God's planRoot-cause yellow flags to watch for postpartum: sleep, gut health, inflammation, mood, and stress hormonesWhy charting your biomarkers matters even before your cycle has returnedA personal, slightly hilarious story about how Bekah's second son was conceived — and what she'd do differently nowResources & Links:✨I’m sharing a free thyroid labs resource that can help you uncover a major root issue many women never get fully tested for, click here: bekahyawn.com/thyroidlabs ✨ Join Fertility Framework: If you're ready for deeper support, personalized cycle guidance, and faith-filled encouragement, come join me inside Fertility Framework!

If you're in the two-week wait right now, fighting the urge to control every detail, this one's for you. I'm sharing the story of a mom and her exhausted toddler on a plane — and what it taught me about how hard it is to actually surrender to Jesus instead of just white-knuckling through the waiting.We sit with Matthew 11:28 — "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" — and I get honest about a prideful pattern in my own prayer life I'm still unlearning: thinking that praying the "right" way will get me the outcome I want. Then I walk you through a practice that's been reshaping how I pray through the waiting: the Surrender Novena.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSA listener review from Sydney on finding hope through the Fertility Framework courseThe plane-ride parable: a toddler fighting his mom's arms until he finally surrenders into restSitting in Matthew 11:28 and hearing Jesus' invitation as if for the first timeWhy the mind, body, and spirit are connected — and why addressing your spirit first changes everything elseA confession: the pride of thinking "praying it right" earns a specific outcome from GodWhat the Surrender Novena is and how to begin praying it this weekA closing prayer over every woman carrying the weight of "is this the time?"Resources & Links:✨Get my Faith Driven Fertility Booklet: bekahyawn.com/booklet ✨ Join Fertility Framework: If you're ready for deeper support, personalized cycle guidance, and faith-filled encouragement, come join me inside Fertility Framework!

Today I'm joined by Abigale Ball, a past Fertility Framework client who is now eight months pregnant with her second baby — a girl! Abigail opens up about the mysterious, unexplained pain she experienced while trying to conceive her son, the deliverance and inner healing ministry that became a turning point in her physical and emotional healing, and what her cycle charts actually looked like heading into both pregnancies (spoiler: they weren't "perfect," and that's exactly the point).We talk honestly about secondary infertility fears, the difference between relying on the physical versus trusting the spiritual, and what it really means to surrender your timeline to the Lord — even while you're doing the practical work of charting and understanding your body.Episode Highlights:Abigail's story of unexplained reproductive pain and an ER visit that led nowhere medicallyHow deliverance and inner healing ministry became a turning point in her fertility journeyThe prophetic name and vision Abigail received before conceiving her son, SamuelHer shift from relying 80% on the physical to trusting the Lord spirituallyWhat her actual fertility charts showed — a short luteal phase and low thyroid indicators — and how she conceived twice anywayWhy surrender, not a perfect chart, was the turning point both timesEncouragement for anyone sitting on the fence about learning to chart their cycleResources & Links:✨ SALE 🎉 Join Fertility Framework: If you're ready for deeper support, personalized cycle guidance, and faith-filled encouragement, come join me inside Fertility Framework!

In this episode, the conversation continues with Nick and Haley of Thriving Kingdom Marriage. And the subject? Something we don’t discuss nearly enough on the fertility journey: your marriage.Trying to conceive doesn't just test your body. It tests your communication, your patience, and it has a sneaky way of resurrecting wounds from your past you didn't even know were still there. Nick and Haley get vulnerable about their own story and they walk us through the practical, faith-filled tools they use in their own home and in their coaching practice.Why your past wounds, not your spouse, are often the real source of your triggersCore communication differences between men and women, and why they matter.The power of “prefacing” before a hard conversationThe oil-and-vinegar picture for taking your emotions to God before you take them to your spouseHow a simple weekly marriage rhythm can change your marriageResources & Links:✨Nick and Haley’s Podcast - Thriving Kingdom Marriage Podcast✨Nick and Haley’s Website - Thriving Kingdom Marriage✨Join Fertility Framework: If you're ready for deeper support, personalized cycle guidance, and faith-filled encouragement, come join me inside Fertility Framework!

This is a heavy one — and I mean that in the holiest way.I recorded this episode with a dear friend on my heart. She just walked through a miscarriage, and I've been right there with her — sitting on her doorstep, going to the memorial, feeling every layer of it. And if you've ever been in that place where everyone around you is still pregnant and you're not, I made this for you.Because that feeling — of watching someone keep the gift that was taken from you — is one of the hardest parts of loss that no one talks about. The jealousy. The resentment. The way a baby bump across the room can undo you. It's real, and it's okay, and I want to sit with you in it today.In this episode:Why seeing other pregnancies after loss feels so unjust — and why that feeling is validA perspective on suffering that reframes your loss as a different kind of gift, not a lesser oneHow your grief can draw you closer to Christ than almost anything else couldWhy I think social media is making your healing harder — and what to do about itHow to genuinely bless others in their pregnancy while honoring your own sorrowA prayer for the woman whose womb feels empty and whose heart is heavyResources & Links:✨75k Downloads = A Big Giveaway for YOU!

After a loss, one of the most tender questions a woman can ask is: Is my body ready to try again? In this episode, I'm walking you through the three signs I look for — the ones I wish someone had walked me through after my own three miscarriages.We open in Isaiah 43:19 — "Behold, I am doing a new thing" — and let that promise anchor everything we dig into. Because this episode isn't just about physical readiness. It's about what it looks like to partner with the Lord in this process, lean into wise counsel, and discern his timing alongside your body's signals.Episode Highlights:Why I always encourage waiting 2–3 cycles after miscarriage before trying to conceive againSign #1: Have you discovered and addressed your root causes?

Are you or your husband considering IUI or IVF? Before you take that next step, there's a foundational conversation we need to have — one that most fertility clinics skip entirely. In this episode, I break down the missing pieces that must be addressed before IUI or IVF is ever on the table. Rooted in Proverbs 3, I walk you through why these medical procedures don't fix root issues, what your body actually needs to heal, and how to seek God's wisdom and discernment in one of the hardest seasons of your life.Episode highlights:What IUI and IVF actually do — and what they can't do for root cause healingWhy your period health and ovulation quality must be investigated before pursuing assisted reproductionThe three missing pieces: egg/ovulation quality, progesterone, and uterine lining healthHow water-soluble medications override your body rather than heal it — and what fat-soluble solutions can do insteadA story about a friend who was headed straight to IVF — and what stopped her in her tracksThe Christian perspective on IVF, embryo formation, and how to seek God's wisdom in the processProverbs 3:19–26 devotional: leaning on God's wisdom, understanding, and knowledgeResources & Links:✨I’m sharing a free thyroid labs resource that can help you uncover a major root issue many women never get fully tested for, click here: bekahyawn.com/thyroidlabs ✨Join Fertility Framework: If you're ready for deeper support, personalized cycle guidance, and faith-filled encouragement, come join me inside Fertility Framework!

Have you been told IUI or IVF is your “next step”… but deep down, you still have questions? In today’s episode, I’m walking through four deeply important questions to prayerfully consider before pursuing fertility treatments like IUI or IVF. We’re talking about understanding your hormones, addressing root causes, discerning peace versus pressure, and bringing this decision fully before the Lord. I also share why formal fertility education matters so much, especially if you’ve experienced miscarriage, infertility, hormonal imbalance, or unexplained fertility struggles. This episode is not about shame or fear. It’s about wisdom, discernment, education, and inviting Jesus into every part of your fertility journey.  Resources & Links: ✨I’m sharing a free thyroid labs resource that can help you uncover a major root issue many women never get fully tested for, click here: bekahyawn.com/thyroidlabs  ✨Join Fertility Framework: If you're ready for deeper support, personalized cycle guidance, and faith-filled encouragement, come join me inside Fertility Framework!
