    We learn about our fertility in NFP without ever learning about our pleasure. EH is doing a great service to those of us who were taught nothing about sex and struggle with it. I wish I had had this resource much earlier in marriage. There are a couple things I haven’t agreed with, but mostly the advice is very good. Appreciate so much that she says out loud that female pleasure matters. Had never heard that in a Catholic context before.

  • Lifechanging!

    This podcast has helped me significantly in improving intimacy with my husband. Ellen is amazing and an expert in her field. I love how she shares her early struggles and how she overcame them. It helps me to relate to her and see that I can also get to that point she’s at in which I can enjoy sex too. Thank you for everything, Ellen!
