Welcome back babes! We’re picking up right where we left off with the incredible Dr. Kat Vigo, founder of Painless Pregnancy and a total powerhouse when it comes to helping women reconnect with their bodies through healing movement.

In Part TWO, we’re talking all about how movement is healing for the body—not just physically, but emotionally too. Dr. Kat shares how reconnecting with your body can shift your entire mindset and help you feel more grounded and empowered. We also get real about the power of being your own hero—because no one knows what you need better than you. 

This episode is a reminder that you are capable of rising, healing, and creating your own change—one step, one breath, and one movement at a time. Tune in!

Welcome back babes! I am really excited to welcome back Dr. Kat Vigo. Back. She’s back, baby. She is the founder of Painless Pregnancy–a physical therapy program that helps people in whatever stage of motherhood they’re in.

Dr. Kat’s journey to getting her doctorate in physical therapy was born from her own desire to help herself really, and the thought that if she was going to go through this painful experience, then certainly other women were as well. She needed to find a way to make pregnancy and everything afterwards more painless. So, Painless Pregnancy was born! 

Dr. Kat is no stranger to this show, and has given her expert advice on how to stay healthy pre, during, and post-pregnancy. Today we will be talking about why physical therapy should be available to every pregnant woman, how PT and movement has a direct correlation to your happiness, how movement can change your life, and then some day-to-day topics like bloating, posture, and mindset as game changers in your life post-pregnancy. Tune in!

Welcome back! This episode's guest, Ayana Rodriguez, is the founder behind the award-winning premium childcare brand: Itavi. 

Itavi has gained undivided popularity across Florida and Hawaii. Born in 2019, Itavi was a response to what Ayana, a mother of three, saw as a gaping void in the childcare industry. 

Today I am so excited to speak with Ayana about the importance of raising resilient children in our modern society and how to cultivate a once highly dependent mindset of: ‘it takes a village.’ 

So with that, let's get started with Ayana Rodriguez. Tune in!

Welcome back for Part Two! If you tuned in last time, you already know that the writer, mother, and “reluctant” socialite, Asha Elias, has a knack for keeping it real while keeping us entertained. As a contributing writer for Cosmopolitan Magazine and a regular columnist for the Miami New Times, Asha brings sharp insights, wit, and an unfiltered perspective to every conversation.

Last week, we got into age gaps in relationships, the delicate balance of being a public figure with a private life, and what it really takes to go after what you want. But we were just getting started.

In this episode were diving even deeper–into love, societal norms of dating (or lack thereof), social anxiety, and more. From marrying well and divorcing well to embracing the freedom of rewriting your own timeline, this conversation is all about shaking off the expectations and doing life your way. Tune in!

BTW. Are you looking for deeper connection? You know what I say. “Come sit with us.” But for real. Join my EXCLUSIVE online women’s community for Becoming: HER today.

Xoxo,

Nikki Spo

Quotes

“I didn’t realize that that silly 25 year old was power, I thought it was weakness and so I tried really hard to change it.” - Asha Elias

“Women making you feel invisible because you're younger, is really their own feelings of invisibility. Because you know what society does to older women: we make them invisible.” - Nikki Spo

“Now I’m living authentically, the way that I want to.” - Asha Elias
