123 | How do NFP and Breastfeeding Support Each Other?
Cycles and Sanctity Podcast | Trust Your Body, Grow In Holiness
We are exploring the beautiful intersection of Natural Family Planning (NFP) and breastfeeding, and how these two practices are not only biologically intertwined but also support women spiritually and emotionally. We discuss how both NFP and breastfeeding foster trust - in our bodies, our babies, our spouses, and ultimately, in the Lord. Using relatable analogies (like learning to ride a bike), this episode unpacks the challenges and triumphs common to both journeys, emphasizing that both are processes that demand patience, faith, and community. You can expect practical insights on how breastfeeding naturally supports fertility awareness, the importance of tuning into your body’s cues, and why building a supportive “red tent” community for mothers makes all the difference.

About Podcast
Cycles & Sanctity is the podcast for Catholic women who want to trust their bodies, grow in self-knowledge, and grow in holiness through the wisdom of the Catholic faith.
Hosted by Mama Jane and Mama Vicki, two Catholic Womanhood Coaches, each episode helps women heal mentally, emotionally, and spiritually so they can live with greater clarity, peace, and confidence. Together, we explore fertility awareness, natural family planning (NFP), Catholic mindset coaching, emotional healing, feminine identity, marriage, motherhood, breastfeeding, and the beauty of God's design for womanhood.
We believe your body is not broken. Your fertility is not something to fear or manage with shame. Your cycle is part of God's loving design—a gift that can lead you to deeper prayer, wiser daily decisions, and a more intimate relationship with Christ.

Trust your body with confidence
Understand your emotions and interior life
Deepen your Catholic faith
Live with greater peace and purpose
Grow in holiness as the woman God created you to be
