  • 4 | Do I Need to Strength Train? Benefits and Recommendations from a CSCS

    Strength training isn’t just for athletes or bodybuilders—it’s one of the most powerful tools women have to support long-term health, resilience, and confidence.

    In this episode, we dive into the benefits of strength training for women and why lifting weights should be an essential part of every woman’s wellness routine. From improving muscle strength and bone density to supporting pelvic health and injury prevention, strength training can transform the way women feel in their bodies.

    We also discuss how resistance training supports women through different life stages—including preconception, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and beyond—and why building strength is especially important for protecting the core and pelvic floor.

    If you’ve ever been intimidated by strength training, unsure where to start, or worried about doing the wrong exercises, this episode will help you understand why strength training is not only safe but incredibly beneficial for women’s health and longevity.

  • 3 | Should I See a Pelvic Floor PT? Learn How To Recognize and Prevent Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

    Do you ever wonder if what you’re experiencing is “normal” or if it’s something you should get help for?

    In this episode, I answer a key question from women: Should I see a pelvic health physical therapist? I break down the signs and symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and help you understand when it may be time to seek specialized care.

    Many women live with symptoms for years thinking that they are a normal part of being a woman, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or aging, but they often aren’t. Pelvic health physical therapy can help address a wide range of concerns related to bladder, bowel, sexual health, and core function.

    In this episode, I discuss how pelvic floor dysfunction can show up in daily life and how it may relate to conditions such as urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, chronic constipation, pain with intercourse, vaginismus, vulvodynia, endometriosis, and PCOS. You’ll learn the common warning signs to watch for, why these symptoms occur, and how pelvic health physical therapy can support recovery, strength, and long-term wellness.

    If you’ve been wondering whether your symptoms are worth addressing, or if you’ve been told to simply live with them, this episode will empower you with knowledge and help you take the next step toward better pelvic health.
