  • The One Thing Your Pelvic Floor Needs First
    Have you ever stopped to notice how you're standing, sitting, breathing, or where you're holding tension?

    Before I teach a single pelvic floor exercise, I teach one thing first: body awareness.

    Because here's the truth—you can't change what you don't notice.

    In this episode of Potty Talk, I'm sharing why awareness is the foundation of pelvic floor health and how small habits throughout your day can have a big impact on leaking, pressure, urgency, and even how your core functions. We'll talk about alignment, breathing, posture, and where your body may be holding unnecessary tension without you even realizing it.

    Sometimes the first step isn't doing more… it's simply paying attention.

  • Stop Sucking In Your Stomach
    Think sucking in your stomach is helping your core? Think again.

    So many of us grew up hearing "pull your belly button to your spine" or "keep your core tight." But constantly bracing, gripping, and holding your breath can actually make it harder for your core and pelvic floor to work the way they're designed to.

    In this episode, I talk about why your core isn't meant to stay "on" all day, how pressure moves through your body, and three simple ways to start breathing and moving with your core instead of against it.

  • The Pelvic Floor Mistake So Many Women Make
    Think a stronger pelvic floor means making it tighter? Not necessarily.

    One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that every pelvic floor problem needs more Kegels or more squeezing. Sometimes, your pelvic floor is actually holding too much tension, and learning to relax is the first step before building strength.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between an underactive and overactive pelvic floor using my Goldilocks and the three hammocks analogy. We'll also talk about how stress, breathing, your diaphragm, and everyday tension can affect your pelvic floor.

    If you've been dealing with leaking, urgency, constipation, pelvic pressure, or painful sex, this episode is for you.

  • Are You Holding Your Breath Right Now?
    Are You Holding Your Breath Right Now?

    This might sound like a strange question, but there's a good chance the answer is yes.

    Whether you're working at your desk, carrying groceries, cleaning the house, or exercising, many of us spend our days holding our breath, breathing into our chest, or creating tension without even realizing it.

    The problem? Your breathing affects everything from your core function and pelvic floor health to how much pressure you're creating in your body.

    In this episode, I'm sharing why your diaphragm is such an important part of your deep core system and three simple ways to start becoming more aware of your breathing throughout the day.

    We'll talk about what to look for while sitting at your desk, how your breathing changes during everyday movement, and one simple shift that can make a big difference during exercise.

    Because sometimes the biggest changes don't come from doing more—they come from paying attention to what you're already doing.

  • The Cost of Constantly Pushing Through | Burnout, Stress & Pelvic Floor Health
    In this honest and powerful episode of Potty Talk Podcast, Krystal sits down with perinatal mental health therapist Jodie Muir MSW, RSW from Root & Bloom Therapy Services to talk about something so many women are silently experiencing: burnout.

    From mental overload and emotional exhaustion to tension in the body, leaking, shallow breathing, and feeling completely disconnected from yourself — this conversation dives into how stress doesn’t just live in the mind… it lives in the body too.

    Krystal shares her own recent experience with burnout and how it began showing up physically, while Jodi breaks down:

    • the difference between stress and burnout
    • why women and moms are carrying so much
    • how burnout affects the nervous system
    • the emotional load women hold daily
    • the physical signs your body may be giving you

    Together, they also explore the powerful connection between stress, breathing, and pelvic floor health — including how jaw clenching, breath holding, shallow breathing, and chronic tension can impact your core and pelvic floor function.

    This episode is filled with practical, supportive takeaways around:

    • diaphragmatic breathing
    • nervous system regulation
    • tiny daily habits
    • releasing guilt
    • asking for help
    • learning to slow down without shame

    If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, tense, disconnected, or like your body is trying to tell you something… this conversation is for you.

    Jodie specializes in supporting women through burnout, overwhelm, motherhood, parenthood, couples therapy, stress, anxiety, and perinatal mental health. If this episode spoke to you and you’ve been feeling like you need support, you do not have to carry everything alone. Reaching out for help can be the first step toward feeling like yourself again.
