Freedom From NFP w/ Christina Valenzuela
The Springs in the Desert Podcast: Catholic Accompaniment Through Infertility
In this episode, we welcome Christina Valenzuela from Pearl and Thistle back to the podcast to chat with Kimberly and Allie about her work as an NFP instructor using the Boston Cross Check method. We address many of the difficulties that couples with infertility experience while using NFP (how to include your spouse in the process, giving yourself permission to take a break, being honest with your practitioner, etc.). We discuss that while NFP can definitely lead to freedom in marriage, it's OK if NFP doesn't become a major part of your life, and it's even OK to let it go.

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.
