Hey momma, are you exhausted from putting your daily aches and pins aside to care for everyone else? Do you struggle to make time for regular physical therapy, chiropractic or massage appointments for yourself? I’ve been there.
Hi. I’m Amanda, a mom of three littles and a working physical therapist. I had my first baby during the last year of graduate school. I was new to motherhood and overwhelmed with my career journey. I remember being on the bed with my laptop while nursing a baby, juggling it all at once. I remember crying from mental exhaustion heightened by physical neck, shoulder and back pain. But I endlessly rocked my velcro baby anyway. It was lonely. It was uncomfortable. I needed to manage my pain but had no time to spare for MY OWN NEEDS.
When my second child came, I had a toddler and a career to juggle. Still just as busy but a little bit wiser. This time I focused on MY body mechanics in all the things. The physical aches decreased with simple shifts to my positioning during nursing, cleaning, work and play.
I can’t be the only one with aches and pains in motherhood. So here I am, live in your earbuds with all my recommendations and none of the timely appointments. In this podcast, I use my professional education, real patient experiences and personal mom journey to help you take care of yourself. I focus on body mechanics, ergonomics and easy do-anywhere exercises to fix common pain points for working moms. Grab all the pillows, let’s get comfy and love those babies with more joy and less pain.

45. From Painful Drives to Comfortable Commutes: Carolyn’s Success Story
✨ Show Notes:
Long drives and road trips don’t have to leave you stiff, achy, and miserable. In today’s episode, I’m joined by my client Carolyn, who shares her journey of turning hours on the road from a painful necessity into a comfortable routine.
Carolyn was driving 1–4 hours at a time and constantly battling neck and back pain—until we worked together to adjust her car ergonomics. With a few simple tweaks and posture strategies, she went from dreading drives to enjoying them pain-free.
We talk through:
The aches and challenges Carolyn was facing on the road
How small ergonomic adjustments made a big difference
Practical takeaways you can use today for your own car setup
The surprising ripple effects of feeling better behind the wheel
If you’ve ever finished a drive with sore shoulders, a stiff neck, or an aching back, Carolyn’s story will give you both hope and helpful tools to change that.
🤍 Tune in and learn how to drive with more ease, less pain, and a lot more comfort
Hope this episode is enlightening and helps you find joy and reduce pain.
Until next time catch up with me in our free facebook community!
