Did you (like me) acquire aches and pains in unexpected places after becoming a mama? Have you wondered how to take care of your body when your kids often require so much of you physically? If this sounds like you, you're going to love listening in on my recent conversation with my physical therapist friend Ashley Marsh.

Her heart for helping with physical care and repair was apparent in every topic we touched: her journey to becoming a children's PT, how she enjoys bringing what she learns into her family's daily lives, how mom's bodies change and how we can care for them through pregnancy to post-partum and beyond. I also loved hearing the super helpful strategies, resources and products she shared - you bet I took crazy notes! Again and again came the much-needed reminder that taking care of ourselves is crucial to our ability to take care of our little ones as best as we can.
