In this conversation, I sit down with three-time Olympian Shannon Rowbury, and we go deep on what it actually means to rebuild trust with your body after pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Shannon shares how years of elite athletic training taught her that the small, overlooked muscles and the quiet moments of recovery are what create sustainable, lasting strength. Whether you've been putting off pelvic floor care for years like I have, or you're just starting to tune back into your body after a season of survival mode, this one is going to hit home.
➡️ The truth about pelvic floor health that most women were never taught and why so many of us wait years to get help
➡️ Why high achievers and go-getters are actually the most at risk for ignoring their body's signals
➡️ How Shannon's Olympic career was shaped by learning to balance pushing hard with genuine recovery and what that taught her about longevity
➡️ The mindset shift that happens when strength stops being about performance and starts being about legacy
➡️ What elite athletes understand about rebuilding after injury that every postpartum woman needs to hear
