In this episode, I’m joined by Sabrina Weschler, co-founder of Cyclisity and niece of Toni Weschler, author of the groundbreaking book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. We’re diving into why understanding our bodies matters more than ever and how the knowledge in Toni's book (now celebrating its 30th anniversary!) inspired not only Sabrina's own fertility journey but also the creation of an app that puts the power of body literacy in your hands.
Sabrina shares how a dinner conversation with her aunt turned into a mission: to create a digital companion to the book that women could trust. And unlike other fertility apps, Cyclisity doesn’t predict ovulation—because that’s not how our bodies work. Instead, it uses the rules outlined in Toni’s symptothermal method to help women tune in to their own unique patterns, day by day.
We talk about the importance of understanding your cycle after loss, how grief and trauma impact hormones, and why this kind of body literacy is essential for anyone trying to conceive, avoid pregnancy, or simply understand their reproductive health.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
