Today’s episode is all about Natural Family Planning (NFP). Our guests are Meg Pearce and Chelsea Pietsch from Adelaide, South Australia.
Meg and Chelsea have both used NFP as part of their own fertility journeys and Chelsea is currently retraining as an NFP practitioner. Listen in as they share their own experiences with this natural method and unpack how it works.
We hope that this conversation emphasizes the importance of using NFP with wisdom and aligning it with God’s plan for marriage, family, and parenthood.
