So you've decided it's time to work on your pelvic floor. You threw "pelvic floor physical therapy near me" into Google and you got a TON of results. As you dive deeper, you're not really sure who knows their ish and who doesn't: there are personal trainers promoting pelvic rehab, chiropractors, "coaches," and, yes, physical therapists. But how do you know who's legit and who's full of it???

Not all "pelvic rehab" is created equally, and in today's episode, I'm fleshing out all the details you need to know and questions you need to ask so that you aren't wasting your time, effort, or energy on services that don't serve YOU.

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.

There's a myth going around that lifting weights is dangerous for your pelvic floor.

The truth is, you're essentially lifting every day of your life: your kids, your dog, your latest Costco haul.

And guess what? Your core and pelvic floor are absolutely involved in that conversation as they play essential roles in ANYTHING you lift: whether that be in the gym or in your life.

So why aren't we training those body parts to help us do these things?

In today's episode, we are talking all about how to appropriately challenge your body with weights, how it affects your core and pelvic floor performance (and vice versa), and what to be mindful of during any type of lifting so that you ensure your core and pelvic floor are strong and resilient AF throughout your lifespan.

I stepped out of my comfort zone last weekend and attended a workshop where we learned how to discover joy in our lives.

It's wild (and sad) to me that so many of us are walking around, going through the motions of our lives without actually realizing what joy means to us.

Today's conversation touches on different ways joy can show up in our lives: ways that we might not even realize.

But ways that might add some light and fire into your life.

Because we all could probably use a little more joy. We just don't know where to look...yet.
