How are you doing, %FIRSTNAME%?

Have you been on the emotional roller coaster since Friday, as I have? Still riding?

Since the SCOTUS ruling on Roe v Wade, I've felt the whole alphabet of feels; Angry, Betrayed, Courageous, Defeated, Enraged...

I've made it to U: Ungovernable.

Having body literacy makes us Ungovernable.

This is the very reason I teach Fertility Awareness.

No law can make it illegal for you to monitor your own fertile signs that your body freely gives you every day - your BBT, your vaginal secretions and your cervical position.

Choosing to practice fertility awareness is radical, counter-culture and VERY sexy! And it is highly effective; 99.4% effective with perfect use.

If that idea feels scary to you, I get it. It can feel intimidating to 'pull the goalie', so to speak. As you know, this is a user-dependent method; there is risk involved. No method of birth control, apart from abstinence, is 100% effective.

But as we have seen, there is much greater risk in putting our trust into an external authority that does not have our best interests at heart.

The truth is, your body is not subject to any law.

Your innate ability to discern when you're fertile liberates you from depending on any external resource - be it a device, a pharmaceutical, a procedure or anyone's permission to feel in control of your body.

Practicing Fertility Awareness grants you the wisdom to:

• Accurately identify your fertile window
• Make appropriate choices to manage your fertile window
• Avoid becoming pregnant by avoiding semen exposure during your fertile window
• Identify if you become pregnant as early as eighteen days
• Identify underlying health challenges that may be impeding your desire to become pregnant
• Nourish your body to promote fertility and ensure a healthy pregnancy
• Empower yourself with the resources you need should you become pregnant
• Form relationships that nourish and support you
• Demand respect and accountability from partners who share the responsibility of managing your fertile window
• Practice birth control that has zero side-effects, teaches body literacy, and promotes bodily autonomy...

... I could go on.

Laws change according to the whims and agendas of those who impose their will onto others.

They can limit your access to birth control methods.

They can take away your right to have an abortion if you need it.

They can make you drive hundreds of miles across state lines to find the care you need - only to be turned away.

They can force you to carry a pregnancy that endangers you or your baby's wellbeing.

They can make you feel desperate and disempowered.

But YOU are Ungovernable.

NOW is the time to empower yourself with the knowledge that you were born with. NOW is the time to embody the wisdom that your body has been calling you home to.

I am with you every step of the way.

I want to hear from you! Hit reply, let me know how I can support you.

In love and solidarity,

Hadley
