For the July Challenge we're digging deep into the ever-elusive topic of *FREE TIME* and how (if?) it has a place in our real lives and our habit of showing up. This week, Courtney and Jya talk about what free time means to them, how they spend it, and ironically, why it tends to be... kinda stressful.

So how does MommaStrong support pelvic floor health? THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS! Today we are talking about how everything we do here keeps the pelvic floor in mind, why we can't just focus on isolated pelvic floor exercises, and YES some specific MommaStrong content suggestions too :)

Leaking pee forever?? Changes as we age?? The right way to do (and say) KEGELS?? This week our Physical Therapist Advisor Stephanie Dillon tells us some of the most common misconceptions she encounters about pelvic floor function, the truth about what we can expect, and when to seek help.

This week our Physical Therapist Advisor Stephanie Dillon tells us all about the anatomy of the pelvic floor (which involves a lot more than you may think!), what it needs for optimal function, and why pelvic floor function matters. Like, REALLY MATTERS.

The June Challenge is Pelvic Floor SOS! We will be joined once again by our PT Advisor Stephanie Dillon to talk all about physical function (both expected and unexpected) of the pelvic floor, demystify and destigmatize pelvic floor dysfunction, and more. BUT TODAY Courtney and Jya kick things off MommaStrong style — delving into the tricky resistance we face in talking about the pelvic floor...

What can we expect from our spines for the *long haul?* If we solve our back pain, are we fixed forever? Not so simple, but don't worry. It's going to be ok and we're here for you :) Having a spine is a big responsibility!

If you know MommaStrong, you know that we do things a little differently, and back pain is no exception! Learn about why we focus on the MommaStrong anchor points, why order of operation matters for both anchor points and the type of movement, and when it's important to seek hands-on care.

Our PT Advisor Stephanie Dillon joins us again to talk about Back Pain — particularly the VERY common misconceptions about why we have back pain, and how to fix it. Then, what actually does help back pain (it's probably not what you think!)

Today we're joined by MommaStrong's Physical Therapy Advisor Stephanie Dillon, and we're talking about the miraculous structure of our spines: the anatomy of the spine, the musculature that supports it, and how all this comes together in functional movement :) We love to geek out about the body!

Welcome to May! The Challenge theme this month is 'Happy Spines' and we'll be heading into some more physical function conversations— but, as always, grounded in our real life experiences. This week Courtney & Jya are talking about their "backstories" (hehe we love puns!), and what our early experiences and past lives have meant for out backs: a big swirl of pain, learning, kindness and strength.
