    Adult Potty Training: The Bathroom Habits Wrecking Your Pelvic Floor

    It might sound funny… But many adults could use a little potty training. The way you pee and poop every day can have a huge impact on your pelvic floor—and many of the habits we’ve been taught are actually making symptoms worse. In this episode, we’re talking about the everyday bathroom mistakes that can contribute to leaking, constipation, pelvic pressure, and pelvic floor dysfunction. We’ll cover: Why pushing your pee out is doing more harm than goodWhy “just in case” peeing trains your bladder the wrong wayWhy you shouldn’t hover over public toiletsHow straining to poop affects your pelvic floorWhy constipation and hemorrhoids are connected to pelvic healthThe importance of proper toilet postureHow your breathing affects bowel movementsWhat healthy bladder and bowel habits actually look like The good news? Many of these habits are easy to change once you know what to do instead. Sometimes finding relief doesn’t start with another exercise—it starts with changing what you’re already doing multiple times a day. If you’ve been dealing with leaking, constipation, pelvic pain, or pressure, this episode is packed with simple changes that can make a meaningful difference. And if you’re ready to go beyond quick tips and learn how to support your body through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, check out The Pain-Free Pregnancy & Postpartum Package, where I teach the B.S.R.

    The Hidden Signs Your Pelvic Floor Needs Attention

    When most people hear the words pelvic floor, they think of one thing: Kegels. But your pelvic floor affects so much more than bladder control. In fact, it could be contributing to symptoms you’ve never even considered were connected. In this episode, we’re uncovering some of the most surprising ways your pelvic floor impacts your body and why addressing the root cause can often improve much more than you expected. We’ll talk about how your pelvic floor may play a role in: Low back painHip painPubic pain during pregnancyPelvic pain and pressurePain with sexPainful menstrual cyclesConstipationUrinary leakingFecal incontinenceDifficulty holding back gasCore weaknessHeaviness or prolapse symptomsDifficulty reaching orgasmFeeling disconnected from your core after birth These symptoms are incredibly common—but they aren’t always “just part of being a mom.” You’ll also learn why your pelvic floor doesn’t work alone. It’s part of a team that includes your diaphragm, core, hips, glutes, and the way you move every single day. Understanding how everything works together is often the missing piece that helps moms finally find lasting relief. If you’ve been treating individual symptoms without seeing the whole picture, this episode will help you start connecting the dots. Because your body isn’t broken. Sometimes it just needs the right support. If you’re ready to learn how to reduce pain, improve your core, prepare for birth, or recover with confidence, check out The Pain-Free Pregnancy & Postpartum Package, where I teach my B.S.R. Method to help moms move with less pain, more confidence, and long-term relief.

    If I wasn’t worried about hurting your feelings… this is exactly what I’d tell you. Not because I want to scare you. Not because I think you’re doing anything wrong. But because I wish someone had told me these things before I became a mom. In this episode, we’re talking about the uncomfortable truths that could completely change your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. We’re diving into topics like: Why “it’s normal” doesn’t always mean you should ignore it.Why waiting until your 6-week checkup is often waiting too long.Why birth education matters just as much as decorating the nursery.Why leaking, pelvic pain, and pressure are common—but they aren’t something you have to simply accept.Why strengthening your pelvic floor isn’t always the answer.Why advocating for yourself during pregnancy and birth can make a huge difference in your recovery. My goal isn’t to make you feel guilty. It’s to help you feel empowered. Because the more you understand your body before birth, the more confident you’ll feel making decisions that support both you and your baby. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, told your pain was “just part of pregnancy,” or wondered if there was more you could be doing, this episode is for you. You deserve more than being told to just wait. You deserve education, support, and the confidence to know what’s normal, what’s not, and what you can do about it. If you’re ready to start feeling better now instead of hoping things improve later, check out The Pain-Free Pregnancy & Postpartum Package, where I teach the B.S.R.

    The Truth About Pelvic Floor Therapy (Why one approach doesn't fit every mom)

    If you’ve ever walked away from pelvic floor therapy thinking… “Maybe my body just can’t heal.” This episode is for you. One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that all pelvic floor therapy is the same. It isn’t. Just like every pregnancy, every birth, and every mom is different, your pelvic floor needs are different too. What helps one woman may actually make another woman’s symptoms worse. In this episode, we’re talking about: Why pelvic floor therapy isn’t one-size-fits-allCommon reasons moms don’t get relief—even after seeing a providerWhy exercises and kegels aren’t always the first answerWhat a comprehensive pelvic floor assessment should includeQuestions you should ask if you’re looking for the right supportHow my B.S.R. Method focuses on the basics first, so your body has the foundation it needs before adding exercises Whether you’ve never seen a pelvic floor therapist or you’ve already tried and felt disappointed, I want you to know this: Your previous experience doesn’t determine what’s possible for your future. There is a reason you’re still experiencing pain, leaking, pressure, or discomfort—and there is a better way to approach it. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start learning what your body actually needs, check out The Pain-Free Pregnancy & Postpartum Package, where I teach the B.S.R. Method to help you find relief, move with confidence, prepare for birth, and recover with support.

    Stop Trying to Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor

    Have you been told to do more kegels? Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, leaking when you sneeze, feeling pressure, or simply trying to "strengthen your pelvic floor," chances are you've heard that kegels are the answer. But what if they're not? In this episode of Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma, we're breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding pelvic floor health: the belief that every mom needs a stronger pelvic floor and more kegels. You'll learn why kegels are often done incorrectly, why strength isn't always the missing piece, and how focusing only on squeezing can actually keep you stuck dealing with pain, leaking, weakness, and pelvic floor dysfunction. I also introduce my B.S.R. Method (Basics, Support, Restore), the same framework I use to help pregnant and postpartum moms find relief, feel more confident in their bodies, and build a pelvic floor that actually works with them—not against them. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a stronger pelvic floor isn't always the answerThe common mistakes moms make when doing kegelsWhat your pelvic floor actually needs to function wellHow breathing, core engagement, and daily movement impact your pelvic floorThe three steps of the B.S.R. Method and how they help create lasting reliefWhat to focus on instead of doing endless kegels If you've been told to "just do kegels" but you're still leaking, experiencing pain, feeling weak, or not seeing the results you expected, this episode is for you. 📱 Follow Pelvic Floor Momma for more pregnancy, birth, and postpartum support Remember, pregnancy pain may be common, but it is not normal. And a healthy pelvic floor is about more than just being stronger. Sometimes the first step toward feeling better is understanding what your body actually needs.

    Why Exercises Aren't Working: You Still Have Pain And Still Leak

    You've been doing the exercises. You've tried the stretches. You've followed the YouTube videos. You've been told to strengthen your core, do your kegels, and keep up with your pelvic floor exercises. So why are you still in pain? Why are you still leaking? Why does it feel like nothing is actually changing? In this episode of Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma, we're talking about one of the biggest mistakes pregnant and postpartum moms make when trying to find relief: jumping straight to exercises before addressing the root cause of the problem. The truth is, exercises aren't bad. But when they're used as the first and only solution, they're often just a band-aid. They may provide temporary relief, but they don't address the daily habits, movement patterns, and foundational support your body needs to create lasting change. That's where the B.S.R. Method comes in. By focusing on Basics, Support, and Restore, you'll learn how to work with your body instead of fighting against it, creating relief that lasts beyond the few minutes you spend exercising each day. In this episode, you'll learn: Why exercises alone aren't fixing your pain or leakingThe difference between temporary relief and long-term resultsWhy so many moms feel frustrated after trying stretches, workouts, and pelvic floor exercisesHow everyday movements may be contributing to your symptomsWhat the B.S.R. Method is and why it creates lasting changeWhat to focus on before adding more exercises to your routine If you're tired of being told to "just do more exercises" and you're ready to understand what's actually keeping you stuck, this episode is for you. 📱 Follow Pelvic Floor Momma for more pregnancy, birth, and postpartum support You don't need another list of exercises. You need a plan that helps your body feel supported throughout the other 23 hours and 50 minutes of your day. That's where lasting relief begins.

    How The Lack of Pelvic Floor Education Harms Women Every Day

    In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest problems in healthcare: the lack of education surrounding the pelvic floor. From pregnancy pain being dismissed as "normal" to postpartum symptoms being brushed aside, too many women are left feeling confused, unsupported, and wondering why no one prepared them for what they're experiencing. I'm sharing my personal story, why pelvic floor education became such a passion of mine, and how the lack of awareness affects everything from pregnancy pain and leaking to birth preparation, postpartum recovery, and even patient safety. Trigger warning, this episode talks about being sexually abused by a medical professional disguising his treatment as pelvic floor. We'll talk about: • Why so many women don't know what their pelvic floor actually does • Common myths and misconceptions surrounding pelvic health • The gap between what moms need and what they're often told • Why "just do kegels" isn't the answer • How understanding your body can help you feel stronger, more confident, and more supported during pregnancy and postpartum If you've ever felt dismissed, discouraged, or like you were expected to simply live with pain, leaking, weakness, or discomfort, this episode is for you. Because pregnancy pain may be common, but that doesn't mean it's normal. And every mom deserves access to the education and support needed to feel comfortable and confident in her body.
