About Me
Brittany DiCarlo, BSN, RN
Marquette Method Certified Professional (MMCP)
My name is Brittany DiCarlo, and I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in both horticulture and nursing from Texas A&M. While I initially pursued a career in horticulture, I soon realized I missed meaningful interaction with people, which led me to nursing. After graduating, I worked as an oncology nurse in Texas. In 2019, my husband and I were married, and we welcomed our first child one year later. Since then, I’ve stepped away from nursing to focus on my family and have been a stay-at-home mom ever since.
My husband and I now have three wonderful children, a girl and two boys (the youngest is not pictured yet because we still do not have a picture with all 5 of us). We are active members of our local Catholic church and feel incredibly blessed by the supportive community we’ve found. As our town continues to grow, more young families are moving in, creating a community where we can raise our kids and live out our faith and values together.
After my first postpartum period, I discovered the Marquette method. I struggled with the subjective aspects of other natural family planning methods, but Marquette’s objectivity really resonated with me, and I’ve been passionate about it ever since. Friends often joke that I can't help but talk about NFP, even with people I’ve just met! Many couples in our community feel overwhelmed or let down by NFP, and in speaking with them, I’ve learned that a lot of this frustration stems from a lack of proper education or frustrations with subjective signs. My goal is to help these couples learn how to effectively practice the Marquette method, offering them hope and healing through better understanding.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, board games, podcasts, watercolor painting, learning to make espresso, and spending time with my family.
About the Website Name
It all began with a desire to find a name that encompassed the core values I hold dear when teaching and practicing the Marquette method. The first big thing is that when a couple talks and prays through decisions together, they are sharing a kind of unity that reflects who God is. When we try to follow God’s will for our family, we draw nearer to that glory and find ourselves on the "Eve of Glory."
The name "Eve" holds deep symbolism. Eve, as the first woman and mother of all humanity, represents both the beauty of creation and the fall through disobedience. Yet, we are redeemed through Jesus Christ, the Son of the "New Eve" (Mary), whose obedience to God’s will brings salvation. Eve, therefore, signifies not only our human frailty but also our perseverance, hope, and ultimate triumph.
Another layer of meaning comes from the morning glory flower. It symbolizes love and affection, which is beautifully fitting for couples practicing Natural Family Planning (NFP). For Catholics, the morning glory is also associated with the mantle of Mary. We often ask Mary to wrap us in her mantle, guiding us closer to Christ. Finally, the morning glory is a symbol of renewal and hope. It is a reminder that no matter where we are in our NFP journey, we can always renew ourselves in hope and trust in God's plan.
