Embracing Sacred Cycles- A Latter-day Fertility Podcast
welcome to Embracing Sacred Cycles. I’m your host, Amy Sedgwick, a multigenerational Latter-day Saint woman who has navigated a 20-year fertility journey. Throughout this journey, I’ve wrestled with the pain and complexity of infertility within the context of our beautiful and unique theology.
This path has illuminated the pain many women in our culture experience, which led me to become a certified Fertility Awareness Mentor. I now have the privilege of teaching women like myself the tools that helped me naturally balance my hormones.
From time to time, I’ll be joined by my wonderful sister-in-law, Sharon Sedgwick. Sharon has her own complex fertility story, and her experiences have led her to become a leading practitioner in healing generational trauma. She’s worked with women around the world in various stages of life, helping them heal at the deepest levels.
Our vision for this podcast is to create a safe space for those in and around the Latter-day Saint culture to share their fertility stories, reminding each other that we are never alone.

In honor of Pride Month, Amy shares a powerful and tender conversation with Blaire Ostler—philosopher, artist, and author of Queer Mormon Theology: An Introduction.

Together, Amy and Blaire explore themes of embodiment, identity, and spiritual belonging—offering a heartfelt reminder that fertility and creation take many forms. This conversation is a sacred invitation to expand our definitions of womanhood, queerness, and divine possibility.
