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.

Breastfeeding shouldn’t hurt—and it definitely shouldn’t leave you with sore shoulders, aching wrists, or a stiff back. In this Milk Minute bonus episode, we’re walking you step-by-step through our brand-new Feeding Foundations Guide, created to help you and your baby feed in total comfort—anytime, anywhere.
We’ll teach you our WHERE Heart Meets REST acronym—a simple, memorable tool to get you and your baby into the best breastfeeding position every time. You’ll also learn the 4 best nursing positions for newborns and older babies, our 6-step guide to the perfect latch, and practical tips for positioning yourself in any setting:
Sitting with support (like a couch, bed, or chair)
Sitting without support (like on the edge of a bed or bench)
Standing while nursing (yes, it’s possible and comfortable!)
Lying down to breastfeed (perfect for night feeds or recovery)
Sitting on the floor (for those toddler-playroom moments)
Whether you’re a first-time mom or a seasoned breastfeeder looking for pain-free feeding solutions, you’ll discover how to:
Prevent and relieve common nursing aches and pains
Support your wrists, shoulders, and back during feeding
Help your baby latch deeply and effectively
