In this episode, Stephanie interviews a special guest, Jessie Mundell. Jessie Mundell is an expert in prenatal/postnatal fitness and a mama herself.

We discuss healing mentally and physically from a home birth turned cesarean, why it’s important to work with a counselor or therapist if you’re still recovering from past birth trauma, smart postpartum training for post-cesarean and vaginal delivery, why pelvic floor physiotherapy is so important, why it’s not “normal” to pee a little when you workout, and so much more. You are going to love this real, raw, and informative interview!

Topics Discussed:

• Jessie’s story + what brought her to the world of prenatal/postnatal fitness.
• Her home birth turned cesarean and the emotional/physical ramifications. How that impacted her mindset/reaction to her second pregnancy.
• Common mistakes women make with postpartum fitness.
• Jessie’s approach to postpartum fitness and how does it differs depending on the type of birth.
• How to know if it’s “too much.”
• What pelvic floor physiotherapists do and why getting checked is important.
• And more!
