    • Ep 74: Rewriting Old Stories to Reduce Prolapse and Bladder Leakage

      This interview with Sharon Oakley is pure gold. She shares her story of postpartum bladder leakage (and ultimately, prolapse), and how this led her to feeling like her vagina was "broken." Sharon was able to identify old stories and limiting beliefs that were holding her back, and rewrote them in a way that propelled her forward to health. With tools such as journaling and reframes, Sharon was able to resolve a majority of her pelvic floor concerns and is now living an active life with her husband and son.

          • Ep 72: How Mind-Body Medicine Relieved Scarlett's Prolapse

            I'm so thrilled to have Scarlett on the show today, one of the founding members of my Transcend program. Scarlett's prolapse is now 90% resolved and in this interview she shares: her daily energy practice (and how she fits it into her busy life), how she was able to get to the root of her pelvic tension issues (and recognize and release these root-cause issues), and how she faced her fears of speaking and was the FIRST ONE to dive into our Transcend Voxer group... and the surprising implications this had on her overall health (including her pelvic health).

            • Ep 71: From Science Minded to Open Minded w/ Beth and Bri

              You might want to listen to this one twice! Beth Basham and I discuss why the most important tool for health and healing isn't your diet or exercise plan, but it's what's going in between your ears... In your BRAIN. Your conscious mind, AND your subconscious mind! Beth shares her own personal journey with food/diet and body image, and we make connections throughout the episode to pelvic health so that you can apply some of these takeaways to your own life. Ultimately, Beth and I want you to to partner with your body rather than working against it. Enjoy this conversation!

                    • Ep 67: Creative Care for Pelvic Pain w/ The Pelvic Whisperer (Therawand and Electrical Stimulation)

                      May is Pelvic Pain Awareness month, and I'm continuing our pain series with Elizabath Makous, AKA "The Pelvic Whisperer." Even if you don't have pain, if you appreciate creativity, bio-individuality, and getting to the ROOT of an issue, then you're going to love this interview. Elizabeth shares:

                      • How to find a great physical therapist 
                      • The importance of differential diagnosis (in PT) and of creating individualized treatment plans
                      • How Elizabeth helped design and refine Therawand tools for pelvic pain relief at-home
                      • The importance of getting to know your body and how to listen to your tissues
                      • Some very intimate tips about how to use tools (such as Therawand) and how to reduce fear around self-treatments and intercourse
                      • Elizabeth's electrical stimulation protocol: how it's unique, and when your therapist can begin using it with you
                      • The importance of patience in your healing journey (as Elizabeth states, "if you're not better in 5 visits, it doesn't mean you've failed therapy. It takes a while for a patient to get a whole program that will work for them.")
                      • The importance of using support systems such as a great physical therapist AND home treatment options (like Therawand, FemFusion programs, etc) so that you can go home and not feel helpless
                      • Her overarching message of hope: don't give up!!!

                            • How physios can tell the difference between vulvodynia, "vaginismus," hypertonic pelvic floor, and pudendal neuralgia by the feel of the pelvic floor
                            • Why treating pelvic floor muscle tension rectally is often the BEST and most effective approach
                            • How long does it take to relieve pelvic pain symptoms? ...And the importance of being REALISTIC when it comes to treatment time...
                            • What to expect from a manual exam on the first visit to your physio
                            • Types of manual techniques your physio might employ, and also techniques that you can do at home on your own
                            • The use of a Gua Sha tool for perineal release
