NFP: The Messy, Holy Truth About Natural Family Planning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NFP (Natural Family Planning) can bring up a lot of feelings — fear, discipline, frustration, even shame. In this episode of The Mom Collective, Celeste, Rowena, and Pam get vulnerable about their real experiences with NFP across different seasons of motherhood: surprise pregnancies, marriage strain, postpartum struggles, and the slow process of surrendering to God's timing instead of their own.

Back to School: Letting Go, Homeschooling motivations, and Making the Most of Car Line (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back to school season is here, and Celeste, Rowena, and Pam get real about the mixed emotions that come with it — from mourning the slower rhythms of summer to the surprisingly complex grief of watching kids grow more independent. They talk through why the first day of kindergarten and the first day of college can each feel like "the worst day" in different ways, how to stay intentionally involved in your kids' friendships and school life even once they're out of the house, and why volunteering
