Hey Momma!

Is this your first baby? Or maybe it has been a while since your last pregnancy and you are trying to prepare yourself for the journey ahead. Either way, this episode is going to let you in on (many but not all) the things that can happen during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum, so that you can be more prepared than the rest of us! I polled over a hundred women to see what they wish they knew and now I’m giving you all the goodies!

Books like What to Expect When You Are Expecting, can be very helpful but many times we don’t really think all those “crazy or scary” things can actually happen to us. Or maybe you had no idea it could happen at all! Informing yourself beforehand can help you better prepare for the unexpected.. Because believe me there will be lots of that! But also help you realize you are not alone! So many moms suffer being told “its normal”, “ you are cleared”, “It will go away after baby comes out” only to find in reality, that is not always the case and we could have done something about it! Thats why in this week’s episode we are talking about all those things we wish we knew… and I am sure that there are many I have not included and will probably do a part II, but for now I hope this episode helps inform and support you throughout your prenatal, birth and postpartum journey!

Hey Girl!

Have you struggled with chronic pain? Do you feel like your body is extra sensitive? Maybe your pain is moving around and you don’t know what is going on? Or maybe you have already been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and you don’t know what that means for you and managing your pain and your function. Either way, you are not alone. Fibromyalgia is very misunderstood and can be a frustrating diagnosis to get because you are not often given many tools or resources to manage this condition. So I am so excited for you to learn from Tami Stackelhouse on the show today, who is going to help educate and empower those of you dealing with Fibromyalgia so you can not only survive, but thrive!

Chronic pain conditions like Fibromyalgia can take over your life and make you feel like a victim, but Tami dives into how you can take control back and feel good! Tami Stackelhouse is an award-winning author, founder of the International Fibromyalgia Coaching Institute, and executive producer of the fibromyalgia documentary, INVISIBLE. Tami teaches fibromyalgia patients how to take back control of their lives and health using her signature Fibromyalgia Wellness Framework℠ — so they can break free from the prison their bodies have become and begin living lives they love.

As always, if you are pregnant, postpartum or just experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain and you want a totally individualized approach, then let's get you booked for a virtual one-on-one coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

Hey Friend!

Do you struggle with TMJ or jaw pain? Maybe tension headaches or migraines from grinding your teeth? Or have you been told you grind at night and need to wear a mouth guard? If you have any of these TMJ dysfunction symptoms or any pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms like overactive bladder, pelvic pain, pain with intercourse, urinary urgency and more, then you will want to pay attention to this week’s episode! I have mentioned many times throughout this show that the whole body is connected and I have even mentioned the connection between the TMJ and pelvic floor. However, this is a connection that is way more intimate and common than people may think.

So inside this episode I am diving much deeper into how the pelvic floor and TMJ or jaw joint are connected and how they influence each other. From understanding, anatomy, tension, posture and even tongue posture, we can start to connect and heal our body as a whole. This is a connection I dive into inside RESTORE so check out the details for that below if you are interested!

Hey Love!

Are you a busy mom who is sick of letting the bathroom control your life but can't quite find the time to heal or do the work you know is necessary to stop leaking, heaviness or pain? I know the struggle! As a busy mom of 3 myself, it has taken me years of deep inner and outer work to create a sustainable lifestyle that feels doable and not overwhelming. After having coached hundreds of women on how to prioritize themselves and create a plan that works for them and their life, I have heard one main excuse over and over (I was guilty of this too at one point). They don’t have enough time… I get it. It feels that way. But I promise we can find the time, even if it's sneaking in things during activities you are already doing! Anything is better than nothing.

Inside this week’s episode I am giving you 10 ways you can squeeze in pelvic floor and core exercises on days when you can’t make time for yourself. This list will be a starting point to get you thinking about other ways you can start incorporating these concepts in your daily activities. Feel free to also reach out if you are stuck wondering how to put this into practice in your life or if you are ready to take the jump and commit to a lifestyle change and want a more structured plan and not just micro workouts! I am also taking this time to celebrate 2 yrs of the podcast and share my gratitude by GIVING A WAY A FREE SPOT INSIDE MY 12 WEEK PROGRAM Pelvic Floor, Core & More: Restore! Make sure to listen to the whole episode to learn how you can be entered to win a free spot (>$1500 value)!

Hey Love,

Are you frustrated because you are sick of living with leaking, pressure or pain but you just can’t seem to show up for yourself to do the work? Maybe you were doing good but then you got sick or kids disrupted your sleep so you are exhausted? Or you are pregnant and fighting nausea and fatigue or postpartum and you are overwhelmed and can’t seem to find the time for you? Maybe it’s day 1 of your cycle and you are cramping and don’t want to leave the couch. Either way, it can feel hopeless like you can’t get ahead of your pain or fitness goals when you are fighting fatigue. I just want to encourage you by letting you know how important that rest is, but also know that there are so many things you can do that are low energy but will make such a difference!

Inside this week’s episode I dive more into breathwork, stretches and exercises that you can do when you are feeling low energy but that will make such a difference, making sure you are still moving forward and getting on top of muscle and joint tightness and imbalances before they cause pain, leaking or dysfunction.

These are strategies that I talk about inside my online virtual program, Restore, which is hosted on my FREE App Pelvic Floor, Core & MORE!

Hey Friend!

It is not only my birthday week, but also @Podcasthon week where over 1,000 podcasters are donating an episode to charity. So this week I am having a very special guest on the show to talk about a foundation that is very important to me. Sally Fellers is the founder of the David Fellers Healing Art Foundation, and also my grandmother. She started the foundation after the death of my uncle David Fellers, who spent his life trapped in his disabled body, yet radiated love and happiness. The foundation helps bring medical and lifesaving support to those less fortunate, mainly in Nicaragua and Guatemala. Medical equipment like wheelchairs, walkers, medications and even mattresses and ramp installations are among the types of support that my grandma and her foundation have been able to provide. But that doesn’t happen without the help of donations from generous people like you of course. So please, for my birthday go listen to this interview to learn more from my grandma about how giving to others will bring you more abundance than you can ever imagine.

If you feel pulled to donate to the David Fellers Healing Art Foundation or want to learn more please do so at the website below: CLICK LINK TO DONATE BELOW %100 PERCENT PROCEEDS GO TO CHANGE A LIFE!!

I hope this inspires you to go make someones day better and give a little more than you take!

Hey Momma,

Are you pregnant or planning to get pregnant and you’re curious about this whole pelvic floor thing? Or just wanting to make sure you are doing all the right things so you and baby can stay healthy, but maybe you’re worried about exercise and if you will do the right or wrong things? Wondering what the best types of exercises are or maybe you are getting ready for delivery and wondering when you should see a Pelvic PT like me? These are all questions many women have and it can be very frustrating when you start looking online for what Dr Google thinks.

Inside this episode I dive into what I do as a Pelvic Floor PT for pregnant women and how I can help them feel strong and confident as they navigate exercise and movement throughout pregnancy. I help take the guess work out of your prenatal fitness routines and make sure you know what your body needs and how to prepare for birth and optimize your recovery. Get an idea on when it is the best time to see a Pelvic PT during pregnancy and make sure that you are getting the support you need and are training appropriately… pregnancy is the ultimate marathon after all.

These are strategies that I talk about inside my online virtual program, Restore, which is hosted on my FREE App Pelvic Floor, Core & MORE!

RESTORE is my first 12 wk online signature program hosted inside my new platform that will be an APP soon Pelvic Floor, Core & More!
