Urgency itself isn’t a bad thing (because we need that signal). When it becomes unpredictable, frequent, or leads to leakage though? That’s when we move into urge urinary incontinence. In today’s conversation, we’re diving into urgency and urge urinary incontinence. While these conditions are common, they’re NOT something you h...

48. Why Diastasis Recti Isn’t About the “Gap” + What Really Matters for Postpartum Healing

There's a LOT of outdated information floating around about it, so we want to set the record straight with this episode! In today’s conversation, we’re talking about diastasis recti, and why it isn’t just about the “gap” in your abs. It’s really about pressure, tension, and how your core is functioning as a system.

47. Pelvic Floor Truth Bombs: Why Magic Chairs and Quick Fixes Miss the Mark + Don’t Lead to True Healing
Let’s talk about the latest “shiny object” in the world of pelvic health: fancy chairs and high-priced devices promising to “fix” your pelvic floor, with the push of a button. In today’s conversation, we’re getting a littttle spicy, and spilling some major pelvic floor truth bombs. Honestly, these “quick fix” solutions (like the Emsella chair, aka the Kegel chair), just DON’T sit well with us.

44. Men Have Pelvic Floors, Too: Common Issues, Misconceptions, and Finding a Path to Relief
In honor of Men’s Health Month, we wanted to shine a light on something that doesn’t get nearly enough air time: men’s pelvic health.

Today’s episode topic is one of our favorites to discuss, and one of the biggest reasons as to WHY we started our podcast: imperfect wellness. Wellness isn’t about striving for ‘perfection’, but rather, embracing balance, self-compassion, and realistic goals in our mental, physical, and emotional health. Even though NOBODY is perfect, it can be super easy to fall into the all-too-familiar ‘comparison trap’. We see what everybody else is doing on social media, and we automaticall...
