Girl, You Ain't Crazy Podcast episodes

  • Life Has Been Lifin',Part 1: When You're at Capacity

    We’re back—and life has been lifin’. In this episode of Girl, You Ain’t Crazy, we catch up on what’s been happening in our lives and how the things we care about can quietly fall to the side when life gets difficult, uncertain, or overwhelming. Sometimes we haven’t stopped caring; we simply don’t have anything left to give. With laughter and an honest conversation about teetering on the emotional edge, we make room for the reality that showing up can look different in a hard season.

  • Things We Thought We'd Have Figured Out By Now

    At some point, weren’t we supposed to become adults who knew how to do…things?

    Like fold a fitted sheet. Parallel park. Make big decisions without panicking. And, apparently, know how to operate a motorcycle just in case the zombie apocalypse leaves us with limited transportation options.

    In this episode, Candice and Danielle compare the things they absolutely thought they’d have figured out by now with the things that actually make them feel like real, functioning adults.

    What starts as a ridiculous conversation about questionable life skills takes an unexpectedly sentimental turn as we talk about buying houses, relationships, missed opportunities, grandparents, the memories we wish we could revisit, and what we’ve learned about ourselves along the way.

    Because maybe adulthood isn’t reaching an age where you finally have everything figured out.

    Maybe it’s realizing you’ve figured out a hell of a lot more than you give yourself credit for—even if you still can’t fold the damn fitted sheet.

  • Burnout: Catch It Before You Crash It

    We’ve all heard “check yourself before you wreck yourself.” Well, consider this the burnout edition: catch it before you crash it. We’re wrapping up our burnout conversation with the question that really matters: Can we learn to recognize it sooner?

    Danielle and Candice talk about the warning signs we tend to ignore, what burnout can look like before the full-on crash, and practical ways to interrupt the cycle before we reach the breaking point.

    And, appropriately, this episode is a little chaotic. We jump right in, briefly forget who we are and what podcast we’re recording, go on a few tangents, laugh a lot—and have a very honest conversation about how hard it can be to practice the things we know are good for us.

    Because preventing burnout isn’t about perfectly managing your life or never feeling overwhelmed. It’s about learning to notice when something is off, giving yourself permission to respond sooner, and figuring out what actually helps you come back to yourself.

    If you’ve ever said “I’m fine” right up until you definitely weren’t fine, this episode is for you.

    🎧 Listen, laugh with us, and send this one to the person who might need the reminder too.

  • More Than Kegels: Postpartum, Hormones, & Breaking the Silence , Episode 2

    In Part 2 of our Pelvic Floor Health Series, Candice and Danielle continue their conversation with Dr. Jenn Frankoski, Board Certified Physical Therapist, certified Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES), and founder of Be the Change Physiotherapy.

    This episode dives into what happens after childbirth—and why recovery doesn't necessarily end at your six-week postpartum checkup. Dr. Jenn discusses how postpartum care has evolved, why individualized rehabilitation matters, and how women can safely return to exercise and daily activities.


    The conversation also explores:

    • What postpartum healing should really look like
    • How hormones, perimenopause, and menopause affect the pelvic floor
    • Why pelvic floor dysfunction isn't just a postpartum issue
    • Common myths and misconceptions about pelvic floor health
    • The emotional and psychological impact of symptoms like leaking, pain, and pelvic pressure
    • How women can advocate for themselves and seek the care they deserve


    Whether you're a new mom, an athlete, decades postpartum, or navigating midlife, this episode is filled with practical advice, reassurance, and empowering information to help you better understand your body.

    If you missed Part 1, be sure to go back and listen as Dr. Jenn explains what the pelvic floor is, common signs and symptoms of dysfunction, and why "just do your Kegels" isn't always the solution.

    Because when it comes to your health, common doesn't always mean normal—and asking questions is the first step toward healing.


    Because around here, we believe informed women make empowered women...and Girl, You Ain't Crazy.

  • More Than Kegels: The Truth About Pelvic Floor Health, Episode 1

    How much do you really know about your pelvic floor?

    If your answer is "not much," you're not alone—and that's exactly why we're having this conversation.

    In Part 1 of our Pelvic Floor Health Series, Candice and Danielle sit down with Dr. Jennifer Iskat Frankoski, Board Certified Physical Therapist, certified Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES), and founder of Be the Change Physiotherapy, to discuss a part of women's health that is often overlooked, misunderstood, or simply dismissed.

    Together, we answer questions like:

    • What is the pelvic floor, and what does it actually do?
    • Are leaking, urgency, and pelvic pain really "normal"?
    • Why isn't "just do your Kegels" the answer for everyone?
    • What signs and symptoms should women pay attention to?

    Dr. Frankoski shares how her advanced orthopedic and pelvic floor training—and her one-on-one, patient-centered approach—helps women address the root cause of their symptoms through education, movement, strength training, manual therapy, and individualized care.

    This episode is filled with practical information, myth-busting, and plenty of honest conversation about the things women often feel too embarrassed to talk about... yes, including peeing, leaking, and everything in between.

    Whether you're an athlete, a new mom, navigating menopause, or simply want to better understand your body, this series is for you.

    Stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll discuss postpartum healing, hormonal changes, aging, common myths, and how breaking the silence around pelvic floor health empowers women to advocate for themselves.

    Because common doesn't always mean normal... and you're definitely not crazy.

  • Burned Out: The Messy Middle

    If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you're running on fumes while still adding things to your to-do list, this episode is for you.

    In this honest and unfiltered conversation, Candice and Danielle explore what burnout looks like in their own lives—not from the perspective of having figured it out, but from living through it in real time. From overpacked schedules and endless obligations to negative self-talk and the pressure to "do it all," they unpack the patterns that keep them stuck in cycles of stress and overwhelm.

    Along the way, they discuss what their therapists have challenged them to consider, what spiraling looks like for each of them, why busyness can become a coping mechanism, and the uncomfortable reality that many of the things draining us are things we've said yes to.

    This episode doesn't offer a neat checklist or a perfect solution. Instead, it's an honest look at the messy middle of burnout—and a reminder that recognizing the patterns may be the first step toward changing them.

    In this episode:
    • What burnout looks like in everyday life
    • The role of self-talk and unrealistic expectations
    • Why we keep filling every empty space on our calendars
    • How busyness can become part of our identity
    • Small mindset shifts that can help us slow down

    Next week, we'll explore how to recognize burnout earlier and share practical strategies to help prevent reaching the breaking point.

    Because you ain't crazy... you might just be exhausted.

  • Burned Out: The Cost of Doing It All

    Candice recently returned from a 48-hour beach camping trip with her dogs, no WiFi, no schedule, and no expectations. What she thought was a simple getaway quickly became a realization: she wasn't just tired—she was burned out.

    In this first episode of our burnout series, we talk about the warning signs we ignored, how burnout shows up differently for each of us, and why so many women keep pushing long after they're running on empty. We discuss functioning on momentum instead of energy, the pressure we put on ourselves, and why it's often easier to keep going than to stop and admit we're exhausted.

    We also spend some time wondering what Type B people stress about, because we'd genuinely like to know.

    If you've ever found yourself saying, "I'll rest after this week," "I just need to get through one more thing," or wondering why you're so tired even when you're technically getting everything done, this conversation is for you.

    Because sometimes "I'm fine" is the biggest warning sign of all.

  • Still Showing Up, Still Me: Our Final Episode with Amy

    In the final episode of our series with Amy, we dive into the realities of building a life, business, and family alongside your spouse — and why communication matters more than perfection. Amy shares how she and her husband learned to give each other space to decompress without taking it personally, and how those small adjustments changed everything.

    We also talk about the inspiration behind her girls fitness program, the importance of creating spaces where young girls feel strong, supported, and confident, and why community matters at every age.

    Candice and Amy open up about the hidden struggles of being viewed as “the strong one” — how capable women are often the least checked on, even when they’re carrying the heaviest loads. The conversation explores the importance of asking for help, communicating your needs, and learning that strength doesn’t mean doing everything alone.

    Amy leaves listeners with simple but powerful encouragement for navigating life’s hard seasons:
    “You got this.”

    A heartfelt and honest close to a series about motherhood, wellness, relationships, resilience, and showing up for yourself and others.

  • Still Healing, Still Me: Navigating Autoimmune with Amy

    In part three of our conversation with Amy, we shift into a deeply personal topic: autoimmune health.

    Amy shares her journey from being diagnosed with Graves Disease to later navigating Hashimoto’s, and we talk honestly about what it’s like when your body suddenly seems to stop cooperating. From symptoms and stress to lifestyle changes and daily management, we discuss the reality of living with an autoimmune condition that often affects far more than people realize.

    This conversation also became personal because Candice lives with Hashimoto’s too, turning this episode into more than an interview — it became two women comparing experiences, frustrations, lessons learned, and those moments of realizing, “Wait…that happens to you too?”

    We talk about the physical side, the emotional side, and the challenge of trying to care for yourself while still balancing work, family, and the many roles life asks you to fill.

    And perhaps our most relatable takeaway? We both agreed we’d gladly take at least a one-week vacation from our own bodies.

    If you’ve ever felt dismissed, exhausted, confused by symptoms, or frustrated trying to understand your own health journey, this conversation is for you.

    Because feeling different doesn’t mean you’re crazy.
