So, you had a baby. You went to that 6-week postpartum check-up at your OB's office and you got the "all clear" to begin working out again. Hooray! But wait! Do you feel ready to do that? For most women, the answer is no, at least not from a physical standpoint. This is where our current healthcare system fails new moms because, in a perfect world, part of her care team would include guidance from a pelvic health physical therapist, as well as someone like today's guest, Madeline Mosier Timm, who is a pregnancy and postpartum athleticism coach. Maddie helps her clients reconnect to their breath, find their pelvic floor, and get back to fitness in a thoughtful way, one that doesn't have them experiencing incontinence or pain or any other postpartum conditions associated with giving birth. Tune in and learn more.

It's not easy to talk about, but as death doesn't discriminate, sometimes it comes for us far too early, and sometimes even when we least expect it. In the case of today's guest, fashion designer and founder of Spring Time in Brooklyn, Zoey Tzfanya, death came for her husband, Jacob, when their two boys were just 2 and 6 years old. It was sudden and tragic, and Zoey found herself reeling with grief and loss as she navigated how to show up as a mother in the face of such a profound loss. Zoey tells the story of Jacob's passing, how she is doing now, and the tools she uses to cope with life after loss.

Parenting is for life. We come to this earth as children who are parented, and then we have children of our own and we realize we still have parenting to do...for ourselves! Many of us have discovered the tools of self-development in order to reparent ourselves in adulthood, but what if we could offer those same tools to our children, much earlier than we discovered them ourselves? That's the question the founders of the affirmation card company, Love Powered Co, asked themselves while having a playdate with their children. That question led Anna Lozano and Lindy Sood to create a company that was funded on Kickstarter within 18 hours of launching. A company that is booming and creating affirmation cards for kids and adults alike. Tune in to hear the power of using I AM statements to set the stage for positive, healthy self-development at any age.

When was the first time any health care professional talked to you about your pelvic floor? Did you know it makes up part of your core, well beyond your abdominal muscles? Most women don't hear about their pelvic floor until they have a postpartum condition like prolapse or bladder leakage. Which is a shame, because with some conservative care and attention on the pelvic floor, we can possibly avoid and even quickly heal pelvic floor issues before they become chronic. In today's show, Dr. Brianne Grogan, DPT discusses two such postpartum conditions, and she gives a fascinating discussion about kegels (and how doing them wrong can cause damage), how the pelvic floor is an emotional storage center, and so much more about those lady bits you may not have known before. If you're planning to become pregnant, are pregnant, or have had children, you'll definitely benefit from hearing what Dr. Bri has to say today.
