In this episode of The Thriving Mompreneur, host Liz Kent sits down with Dr. Joy Noble, a physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor health and the founder of Pelvic Pride.
Dr. Noble shares her journey of building a thriving business, from its launch just before the pandemic to its recent expansion to a second location in Baltimore.
She discusses the importance of de-stigmatizing conversations around pelvic health and the power of building a supportive community of like-minded providers. Dr. Noble also offers valuable insights on what to look for when seeking support for pelvic floor issues and the crucial role of self-care and team support in her business's success.
Key Takeaways
De-stigmatizing Pelvic Health: Dr. Noble emphasizes the need to normalize conversations about pelvic health issues like urinary leakage or pain during intimacy. She highlights that these are common but not normal, and you don't have to live with them.
Community Over Competition: Instead of being sidelined by the COVID-19 shutdown, Dr. Noble used the time to build a strong network of providers in the Baltimore community. This collaborative approach has become a key driver of her business's growth and referral network.
It's Never Too Late: Whether you had a baby six months or six years ago, it's never too late to address pelvic health concerns. Dr. Noble encourages listeners to seek help and not accept these issues as a permanent part of life.
Embrace Personal and Professional Growth: Dr. Noble shares that running a business is a continuous journey of self-discovery. It forces you to confront your weaknesses and areas for improvement, like communication, which ultimately leads to personal and professional growth.
Prioritize Your Team: Dr. Noble believes a happy and supported team is the foundation of a successful business. By investing in her clinicians through mentorship and regular check-ins, she ensures they can provide the best possible care to their patients.
Quotes From the Episode
"I love physicians... However, I found most of my patients were sent our direction from their mental health therapists, from their acupuncturists, from their chiropractors, from their other support systems."
"Leaking after you have a baby, this is what everyone's dealing with. And it's like, right, a lot of people have it, but you don't have to live with it. We can help make that better."
"Our biggest goal is to be checking in and to make sure that as we're working together, symptoms are changing. As long as we're making change, we're making progress, we're on a good path."
"It's not as awkward as you think... We do it every day. And it's what we love doing because we know how much data we can find and how much relief we can help our patients have."
