The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health

Trying to get pregnant or becoming a parent are two times in our life where we really stop, pause and reflect on our health.

We are motivated not just for ourselves but for our growing family.

Our healthcare system is SICK care. We wait for something to break down before we fix it. But what if we tried to stop it from happening in the first place?
