    #98 - You Don't Have to Live With It: The Truth About Pelvic Floor Therapy with Michelle Carlstedt PT, DPT

    Pregnancy and childbirth change the body—but many women are told that leaking urine, pelvic pain, or difficulty returning to exercise is simply "part of being a mom." Is that really true? In this episode, Chris sits down with Dr. Michelle Carlstedt, PT, DPT, a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in pelvic floor rehabilitation, to discuss what pelvic floor physical therapy actually is, who it can help, and why more women should know it's an option. Together, they explore common postpartum concerns, the myths surrounding pelvic floor therapy, why Kegels aren't always the answer, and how individualized rehabilitation can help women confidently return to running, lifting, CrossFit, and the activities they love. They also discuss the importance of addressing the whole person—from sleep and nutrition to stress and movement—and why recovery after pregnancy looks different for everyone. Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, or years removed from childbirth, this conversation offers practical insights and hope for anyone looking to better understand pelvic health and recovery.

    #94 - The Missing Piece Isn't Knowledge—It's Confidence

    Most people don't struggle because they don't know what to do—they struggle because they don't believe they can follow through. In this episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris explores the concept of self-efficacy: the belief that you can make meaningful change. Whether your goal is overcoming pain, losing weight, improving your fitness, or building healthier habits, your confidence in yourself is often a stronger predictor of success than the plan itself. You'll walk through a simple reflection exercise designed to help you identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, build confidence, and focus on the next step instead of the entire mountain. If you've ever felt stuck despite knowing what you "should" do, this episode will give you a practical framework to help you move forward. Chapters 00:00 - Welcome to the Build Beyond Podcast: Focus on motivation and belief in oneself 00:53 - Differentiating general efficacy and self-efficacy: what they mean and why they matter 2:30 - How beliefs about your ability influence success in health, relationships, and career goals 4:10 - Practical exercise: Brainstorming your pathway to change—steps, obstacles, and solutions 7:02 - Recognizing and leveraging your personal strengths to support change 8:20 - How to rate your confidence level and what that tells you about your mindset 10:00 - Revisiting your confidence and strengths to stay motivated throughout the process 10:53 - Final encouragement: Using these exercises repeatedly for sustained growth Where to find Chris Netley: BuildBeyondHealth.com Instagram: @BuildBeyondHealth YouTube: @chrisnetleyDC X (formerly Twitter): @chrisnetleyDC  Facebook: Build Beyond Health, PLLC

    #93 - Why You Keep Falling Off Track (And How to Get Back On)

    Have you ever followed the perfect plan… only to fall off track a few weeks later? In this episode, Chris explores why accountability isn't just about discipline—it's about confidence, identity, and creating a plan you can actually sustain. Whether you're recovering from an injury, trying to lose weight, building healthier habits, or working toward a fitness goal, success isn't about being perfect. It's about getting back on track when life inevitably gets in the way. Chris shares a simple exercise to help you redefine what success really looks like, explains why "all-or-nothing" thinking keeps so many people stuck, and discusses how doing less can sometimes lead to better results. If you've ever felt like you're the problem—not the plan—this episode is for you.

    #92 - The Two Biggest Reasons People Never Reach Their Goals

    In this episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris explores two of the biggest obstacles that prevent people from reaching their health, fitness, rehab, and lifestyle goals. Whether you're trying to recover from an injury, lose weight, improve your fitness, or make lasting changes to your health, the challenge often isn't a lack of information—it's a lack of consistency. Chris discusses how many people, especially parents, caregivers, and hardworking professionals, spend so much time taking care of others that they neglect themselves. He explains why prioritizing your own health isn't selfish—it's essential if you want to continue showing up for the people who depend on you. The conversation also dives into the impact of work, family responsibilities, and life's constant demands on long-term progress. Chris shares lessons from his time in the Marine Corps, practical strategies for staying on track when life gets busy, and why patience is critical when pursuing meaningful change. Finally, Chris explains why coaching can be a game-changer. In a world where information is everywhere, accountability, guidance, and support are often the missing pieces that help people stay consistent long enough to achieve lasting results. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or unable to maintain momentum toward your goals, this episode is for you.
