Dr. Jackie Bullock is a physical therapist, business owner, and mom who knows firsthand how the lines between personal and professional life can blur — especially after having a baby.
In this episode, Jackie opens up about what it’s really like to balance a self-employed business with the demands of motherhood, and how those two worlds often collide in ways that force you to pause, reflect, and recalibrate.
We talk about the hard decisions that come with growth — childcare, boundaries, capacity — and how mental health and identity can get tangled in the process. Jackie also shares her insights into women’s pelvic health, explaining how something as simple as breathing can reconnect us to our deep core muscles and change the way we move and feel.
This is a grounded, honest conversation about recognizing when enough is enough, finding your footing again, and learning that balance isn’t about perfection — it’s about paying attention.
