April 17, 20229. All About Pediatric Physical Therapy & Milestones with Abbie Ogilbee, PT
Send us a text
Show Notes

On today’s podcast, I chat with Abbie Ogilbee, a pediatric physical therapist about what pt can look like from both the therapist and parent perspectives.

I loved hearing Abbie’s balanced perspective on pediatric physical therapy. Hopefully you learned as much as I did from this episode. My top takeaway:

You know, your child best and pediatric PT can be that little boost your child needs in their development, but isn't an indicator of how you're doing as a parent. Don't wait if you're seeing things you're concerned about - but instead, trust your gut and find a qualified professional

Just a reminder that what you hear on this podcast is not medical advice. Please remember to always do your own research and talk to your provider before making important decisions about your healthcare. Thanks for listening and sharing!

March 24, 2022 8. What You Should Know About Tongue Ties and How to Spot Them with Kayla Head, SLP
Send us a text
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Kayla! She's a wealth of knowledge and provides an expert perspective as well as a practical and parent perspective. She shares my love of anatomy, and has a passion for sharing her knowledge of orofacial myofunctional disorders and improving speech, sleep, and other tongue-tie related symptoms!
My top takeaways from this episode are:
1) Not every provider knows what to look for or how to appropriately diagnose a tie. It's important to trust your gut and seek out providers with more education surrounding this topic.
2) The prehab and the post-op therapy is crucial for giving your child the best chance at improving their feeding, swallowing talking, and even sleeping!

March 19, 20227. Creating a Mental Push Plan with Lauren & Carolyn
Send us a text
Just a note on this episode of the podcast, we had some technical difficulties and ended up with a lower quality audio track but a high quality conversation. Thanks for listening as I learn how to do this well!
Show Notes
Chatting with Lauren and Carolyn was eye opening and I am so glad that we connected on Instagram. Their programs (Mental Push Plan & Mental Grief Plan) are instrumental and I feel even more powerful than your typical “birth plan” in terms of having tool for overcoming obstacles you may meet during birth. It just makes sense to use principles from sports psychology and yoga to prepare for birth, right? Have a listen. I think you’ll enjoy it.
My top takeaway from this episode is that we all have mental fortitude, we just need a little bit of guidance for how to best access it and use it to its full potential.

March 13, 20226. Menopause and Your Pelvic Floor with Kim Vopni, The Vagina Coach
Send us a text
Show Notes

It’s always lovely to chat with Kim, and hear her wisdom and passion for educating people about their pelvic health. My top takeaways from this episode are:

1) learn more about your body now. Information and education are powerful tools that you can use to help you advocate for your own health. You can start by reading Kim’s book!

2) find a village of health care professionals.

3) take your time to slow down and find some calm. Your nervous system will thank you.

And you can find her online at vaginacoach.com and on social media channels @vaginacoach

March 05, 20225. Healing Beyond Postpartum with Dominika Buck
Send us a text
It’s always lovely to chat with Dominika about health, women’s wellness, childbirth, and postpartum healing. She has lived it, and she has a passion for improving maternal healing after people have their babies.
Just a note on this episode of the podcast, we had some technical difficulties and ended up with a lower quality backup of the audio. It’s a high quality conversation, but there are some delays/glitches that were not able to be edited out. Thanks for listening as I learn how to do this well!
My top takeaways from this episode:
1: Practice setting healthy boundaries during pregnancy. This will set you up for success in the postpartum!
2: Educate yourself and surround yourself with resources and people who will support you for the postpartum period. Learn what you need to know ahead of time so that you don't go into the newborn stage blind, hire a postpartum doula, put that on your registry! Expect things to be slow for the first little bit.
