Why Nuns Are Learning About FEMM – And What That Teaches Women Experiencing Infertility
The Springs in the Desert Podcast: Catholic Accompaniment Through Infertility
Have you ever felt like your body is an obstacle, or that it's working against you? If so, this podcast episode is for you! Today Jillian welcomes Sister M. Emmanuel Kurtzweg, OSF, RN and teammate, Stacey, to the podcast to talk about what it means to be "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Ps 139:14). Listen to hear more about: * FEMM (Fertility Education and Medical Management) and how it's different from other fertility awareness methods. * Why part of Sr. Emmanuel's mission is to teach her Franciscan sisters about their fertility, and what we, as married women, can learn from that. * What advice Sr. Emmanuel would give to couples who are having a hard time with fertility treatments and are discerning taking a break. It is our honor to walk with you! Links: * Sr. Emmanuel's FEMM Info Page * Submit Your Intentions to the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration!
About Podcast
At Springs, we know that infertility is a heavy cross. But as Catholics, we believe that by keeping our focus on Christ, we can come through this season of waiting stronger in faith and love—no matter what happens. So each week, we’ll bring you a conversation that gets to the heart of the infertility experience – including primary/secondary infertility, miscarriage/loss, childlessness, and more.
