Today I chat with my friend Laura Jawad, Ph. D., a fellow Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach and breastcancer survivor and warrior. Pregnancy and postpartum is often the first time we have to "start over" in our lives when it comes to our physical bodies. Laura discusses the skill of starting over and how her postpartum experiences prepared her for the challenges of overcoming cancer and having yet another physical reset with her body. Such an amazing conversation!

Today, I open up about my unique living situation and answering the frequently asked question of how I "do it all" as a mom with a business and a part-time job. Listen to the full episode for the answer, but I get very vulnerable as I share about what brought us back to Texas and the village I am so privileged to have here.

In this solo episode today, I talk about all the things I wish I knew before age of 29... about the core and pevlic floor!

There is so much we don't learn and no one tells us about our bodies during pregnancy and postpartum and especially so about the pelvic floor. I'm digging into that today talking about the core system, pressure, incontinence (with a personal story mixed in) and more.
