In today's episode, we are talking about what I call the "rehab rollercoaster:" namely, the ups and downs of figuring out how to move and use your body after being sidelined by something physical that's been giving you grief.

Whether you're overcoming an injury or are trying to return to the gym after dealing with pelvic floor issues like prolapse, leaking, or giving birth, there are things to keep in mind when you're moving from start to the finish line in regard to giving your body the TLC it needs while challenging it at the same time.

Healthcare is a difficult territory for women to navigate, as many of us are left feeling dismissed and unheard, our concerns being chalked up to being a "crazy woman" who just needs to lose weight (BARF). That shit ends here and now. Today, we take back our health and speak up: because no one else is gonna do it for us.

This week's episode stems a bit off last week; today, we explore the world of pelvic floor exercise and how sometimes that doesn't look much different from work you're already doing in the gym: the focus just might be a little different.

There seem to be 2 camps of people talking about pelvic floor strengthening: those who think squeezing balls between their knees and kegeling out the wazoo are sure-fire ways to condition their pelvic floor, and those who overly complicate every exercise so that your brain explodes. Today we are talking about how effective pelvic floor work lands somewhere in the middle, and what exactly that looks like.

Most people don't realize how involved their pelvic floor and deep abs are when doing "regular" workouts at the gym (or off YouTube). Today's episode is filled with tips & tricks to be mindful of when it comes to getting the best out of your workouts and how to know when your pelvic floor is telling you to dial it back.

I've been on hiatus for the past 8 weeks due to a health issue that spiraled out of control (cuz my body likes to go big or go home). Today's episode is full of info re: signs to pay attention to when it comes to gallbladder issues, what to look for with your poop and when you should get it checked out, what it means to have a "normal" bladder, the early (aka boring) stages of rehabbing your pelvic floor, and everything in between!

If you're trying to overcome something physical that's been holding you back, it's SUPER difficult to navigate if you're also a survivor of diet culture. Those nagging thoughts like "I could do more" or "you're not burning enough calories" start to creep in and you're SO tempted to just push through the pain to get a workout in.

These thoughts have been creeping in for me as I rehab a recent leg injury and I wanted to talk about it!

Except when you try to use them, they fall out. Your leaking never gets better.

So what gives?!

Today we are covering everything you need to know about vaginal weights: when to use them, when they might NOT be the best investment, and things to keep in mind before you start strength training your pelvic floor on your own.
