Quotes from The Episode

  • "My saying is, once postpartum, always postpartum. Doesn't matter if you've had kids six months ago or six years ago, because we all have pelvic floors."

  • "Something is better than nothing."

  • "Taking time for you is not selfish. It's so hard for us as moms and entrepreneurs and to really feel like we're not taking time away... but for me to be a better mom and a better spouse like I need that time."
