from Persistence in Prayer with Kylie Hein · host Kylie Hein

Send us Fan MailWhat if the way you see your body is quietly shaping the way you see God?In this episode, I’m joined by Christina Valenzuela of Pearl & Thistle to talk about women’s health, Natural Family Planning, and the deeper spiritual implications of body literacy.We discuss:Why so many women feel confused or embarrassed about their cyclesHow to know what’s “normal” and when to advocate for yourselfThe frustration and guilt many couples experience with NFPWhat the Church actually means by “serious reasons” for avoiding pregnancyWhy understanding your body can actually strengthen your spiritual lifeIf you’ve ever felt dismissed by a doctor…Guilty for struggling with NFP…Or quietly frustrated with your body…This conversation will bring clarity, compassion, and freedom.Because reclaiming the goodness of your body isn’t just about health — it’s about trust. And the way we view our bodies often reveals how we view the God who designed them.Christina brings both theological depth and practical wisdom to a topic that many Catholic women carry quietly. You are not crazy. You are not alone. And your body is not the enemy.Blog Posts DiscussedAbstainers and Moderators Grave Reasons: Magnanimity and "Nunya"Connect with ChristinaPearl & Thistle, LLC: pearlandthistle.comOn IG @pearlandthistleOn FB @pearlandthistleConnect with KylieBook a free Confidence and Clarity Call HERE or email [email protected] If you’re ready to trade overwhelm to peace, join me for Becoming a Living Yes—an 8-week coaching cohort designed to help you find peace and freedom in the everyday.
