• #38: Body Image Struggles - The Hard Truth about your Postpartum Body
    Jul 29 2024

    Something we both deal with frequently in working with moms is postpartum body imagine issues. There is so much misinformation out there about diastasis recti, the ability to ‘bounce back,’ and expectations regarding your postpartum belly. In the episode we aim to level set expectations, and help you shift your focus so you can stop beating yourself up or comparing your postpartum belly to a belly that never experienced pregnancy.

    If you are a new listener, you might want to check out the Diastasis Recti Episode (#21) first!

    We will have 3 different types of episodes and one will drop each week on Mondays!

  • #37: Preparing for Birth Better - What You Need to Know that your Hospital Class Won't Teach You
    Jul 22 2024

    If you are expecting right now, congrats! Preparing to welcome a baby into the world, especially as a first time mom, can be overwhelming. Most moms will take the prep class the hospital they are delivering at provides. While that is great and recommended, we are going to fill you in on why you ALSO need to complete birth prep with a pelvic floor physical therapist.

    If you don't have a quality provider near you, or 1:1 is not within your budget, Dr. Jenn has a virtual birth prep option that will teach you everything you need to work towards the birth experience you are looking for, even if this is not your first!

  • #34: Returning to Running Postpartum - Why There’s Way More to it than ‘Getting Cleared’
    Jul 1 2024

    When you’ve had a baby and you are getting ready to return to some movement postpartum, your first effort should NOT be running. We totally understand that it can be quick/easy (esp if you are used to long distances), convenient, and free, but there are so many boxes you need to check before you give running a shot. This doesn’t just apply to running either, the guidelines are the same for any higher impact movement.

    If you a runner, cross fitter, or just enjoy your kickboxing or Orange Theory classes, this episode is a must listen! If you know someone who is a dedicated runner or high impact fitness person, send them this episode and help save them from themselves!
