Today we’re talking all things urge incontinence, overactive bladder, and how to restore your body’s connection to your bladder, your breath, and your pelvic floor. 💥 Inside This Episode, We Cover: What urge incontinence actually is (and what it’s NOT) Why kegels, Emsella chairs, and "just hold it longer" don't work The nervous system–pelvic floor–brain connection How posture and breath create pressure that affects bladder control My 3 favorite techniques to calm urgency starting today Why this is so much deeper than just your pelvic floor — and how your whole body plays a role What to do instead when urgency strikes, and how to retrain your bladder without fear 🔄 Let’s Rewire the Patterns – Not Just the Muscles We’ve been told that leaking or peeing yourself is “just part of motherhood” or “what happens as you get older.” But that’s a lie — and it’s keeping too many women trapped in shame, pads, and bathrooms they can’t trust. This episode will show you what’s really going on, and how you can start to take your power back, naturally. 🎧 Tune In If: You feel like your bladder is calling the shots You’re tired of rushing to the bathroom constantly or leaking during the day You’ve tried the “usual” pelvic floor advice and it didn’t work You want a full-body, full-life approach that actually gets to the root You’re curious about how nervous system work fits into pelvic health ✨ Ready to Restore?

🌀 You’re doing the breathing. You’re doing the bracing. But your knees? Still unstable, stiff, or sore? That’s not just a leg-day problem — it’s a pelvic floor one. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through how your knees and pelvic floor are deeply connected, and why knee weakness or misalignment could be the real reason you’re still leaking, feeling pressure, or can’t feel strong — no matter how many kegels you’ve done. 💬 “Your knees are messengers, babe. And your pelvic floor is listening.” This is the conversation most pelvic floor programs don’t include — and that’s exactly why I created RESTORE. Because healing your core is about way more than kegels and crunches. It’s a full-body recalibration. 🌿 In this episode, we cover: Why knee pain or weakness might be causing your pelvic floor symptoms The chain reaction between your foot, hip, knee, and pelvic floor What “leaking with squats” is really telling you about your alignment The 3 movement patterns that can build real strength & support Why your breath, glutes & feet matter more than your crunch count 🧠 You’ll walk away with: A deeper understanding of your kinetic chain The real reason sit-ups aren’t solving your symptoms Simple cues for building knee-to-core coordination What to do before you go back to running or jumping   ✨ Next Steps: 📲 Download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App →  for guided breathwork, mobility, and strength progressions you can do at home. - Download PCM App iTunes: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pelvic-floor-core-more/id6740750561  - Download PCM App Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pqw8e051gua.pmh8skrtsapp&pcampaignid=web_share 💎 Join RESTORE, my 12-week program that walks you step by step through pelvic floor and core healing — so you can stop leaking, reduce prolapse symptoms, and feel strong again.  https://balancedmomtality.com/restore  🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to Pelvic Floor, Core & More so you never miss an empowering episode about pelvic floor health, core strength, and whole-body healing.   👉 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mom friend who needs to hear that healing is possible.

We all know that feeling — when your motivation disappears, your energy dips, and even the simplest tasks feel heavy. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just in a funk. In this episode, Dr. Desiree dives into what’s really going on when you feel off, disconnected, or unmotivated — and how to get out of that stuck state without pushing or shaming yourself. You’ll learn how your nervous system, emotions, and energy are all connected, and how to create tiny shifts that bring you back into flow. This isn’t about forcing productivity — it’s about honoring your body’s signals, restoring balance, and reconnecting to yourself. 🌿 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✨ Why funks happen — and what your body might actually be trying to tell you. ✨ The science behind being “stuck” in freeze mode or dysregulation. ✨ What not to do when you’re in a funk (hint: it’s not more pressure or guilt). ✨ Simple body-led practices to reset your mind and energy. ✨ How movement, breathwork, and environment shifts help you feel grounded again. ✨ The importance of nervous system regulation in breaking the burnout cycle. 💡 Top Takeaways: 💫 A funk is feedback, not failure — your body is asking for something. 💫 You can’t think your way out; you have to feel your way through. 💫 Micro-movements, grounding, and gentle action rebuild momentum. 💫 Self-compassion and small steps are the fastest way back to alignment. 🧘 Try These Mini Resets: Step outside barefoot for 2 minutes. Feel your feet on the ground. Place your hand on your heart + belly and exhale slowly. Move your body in a way that feels good, not punishing. Change your environment — open a window, shift lighting, or play new music. Write down 3 things that feel light, easy, or joyful today. 🎧 Listen If You’re Feeling: Mentally or emotionally exhausted. Stuck in freeze mode or burnout. Like you’ve “lost your spark” or motivation. Physically depleted or disconnected from your body. ✨ Remember: Healing isn’t always about doing more. Sometimes, it’s about slowing down, listening, and letting your energy rise again — one grounded breath at a time. 💛 ✨ Next Steps: 📲 Download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App →  for guided breathwork, mobility, and strength progressions you can do at home. - Download PCM App iTunes: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pelvic-floor-core-more/id6740750561  - Download PCM App Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pqw8e051gua.pmh8skrtsapp&pcampaignid=web_share 💎 Join RESTORE, my 12-week program that walks you step by step through pelvic floor and core healing — so you can stop leaking, reduce prolapse symptoms, and feel strong again.  https://balancedmomtality.com/restore  🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to Pelvic Floor, Core & More so you never miss an empowering episode about pelvic floor health, core strength, and whole-body healing.   👉 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mom friend who needs to hear that healing is possible.

When it comes to pelvic floor healing, everyone’s talking about the core, the hips, and the breath… but almost no one is talking about your feet. 👣 In this episode, we’re taking your healing literally from the ground up. You’ll learn how your feet and ankles directly affect your pelvic floor, core, and posture — and why reconnecting to your foundation might just be the missing piece to your healing. Whether you’re dealing with leaking, pelvic pressure, prolapse symptoms, or persistent low back tension, this episode will help you understand why restoring your foundation changes everything. 🌿 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✨ How your feet and ankles are connected to your pelvic floor through the kinetic chain and fascial lines. ✨ Why foot stiffness, poor balance, or collapsed arches can create pressure and strain in your pelvic floor. ✨ The hidden effects of modern life — shoes, sitting, and lack of barefoot time — on your pelvic and core health. ✨ Simple, restorative practices to improve ankle mobility, strengthen your feet, and improve posture. ✨ How to integrate breathwork, grounding, and balance for a more stable, supported pelvic floor. 💡 Top Takeaways: 💫 True healing starts from the ground up — your feet are your foundation. 💫 A strong, mobile, and grounded base reduces core pressure and supports pelvic floor balance. 💫 Modern habits can disconnect us from our natural movement and proprioception — but we can retrain it. 💫 Simple daily practices like barefoot time, ankle mobility drills, and mindful standing make a huge difference. 🧘 Try These at Home: Practice standing barefoot and feeling equal pressure through your big toe, pinky, and heel. Do single leg balance and heel raises while focusing on breath coordination. Roll your feet with a small ball to release fascia and increase circulation. Pair your movement with slow, full breaths to connect your feet, core, and pelvic floor. 🎧 Tune In If You’re Experiencing: Leaking, pelvic pressure, or heaviness. Chronic hip, back, or knee pain. Postpartum weakness or instability. Tight calves or limited ankle mobility. Feeling disconnected from your body and movement. ✨ Next Steps: 📲 Download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App →  for guided breathwork, mobility, and strength progressions you can do at home. - Download PCM App iTunes: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pelvic-floor-core-more/id6740750561  - Download PCM App Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pqw8e051gua.pmh8skrtsapp&pcampaignid=web_share 💎 Join RESTORE, my 12-week program that walks you step by step through pelvic floor and core healing — so you can stop leaking, reduce prolapse symptoms, and feel strong again.  https://balancedmomtality.com/restore  🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to Pelvic Floor, Core & More so you never miss an empowering episode about pelvic floor health, core strength, and whole-body healing.   👉 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mom friend who needs to hear that healing is possible.

If you’ve ever been told to “just strengthen your core” for back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, or leaking , this episode is your wake-up call. Because here’s the truth → your core doesn’t work alone. It’s part of a powerful kinetic chain: your feet, hips, ribs, shoulders, and everything in between, all working together to create strength, stability, and balance. When one piece of that chain isn’t functioning properly, your entire system compensates. That means your “core problem” might actually start in your feet, hips, posture, or even your breath. 🌿 In This Episode You’ll Learn: ✨ What the kinetic chain actually is — and why it matters for pelvic floor and core healing. ✨ Why focusing only on your abs or “core engagement” can sometimes make things worse. ✨ How poor mobility or strength in your hips, back, or shoulders affects your pelvic floor. ✨ The crucial role of breathwork and rib cage mobility in restoring balance. ✨ How to strengthen your entire system — not just one muscle group. ✨ Why true healing requires integrating posture, strength, and nervous system regulation. 🧠 Key Takeaways: 💡 The body is an interconnected system, not separate parts. 💡 Healing one link (like the core) requires addressing the rest of the chain. 💡 Breath, posture, and mobility are just as important as strength. 💡 Whole-body restoration creates lasting results — not temporary fixes. 🌸 Quote from the Episode: “You can’t heal one link in the chain and expect the whole thing to move freely. When we restore the entire system — breath, posture, strength, and connection — that’s when the magic happens.” ✨ Next Steps: 📲 Download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App →  for guided breathwork, mobility, and strength progressions you can do at home. - Download PCM App iTunes: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pelvic-floor-core-more/id6740750561  - Download PCM App Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pqw8e051gua.pmh8skrtsapp&pcampaignid=web_share 💎 Join RESTORE, my 12-week program that walks you step by step through pelvic floor and core healing — so you can stop leaking, reduce prolapse symptoms, and feel strong again.  https://balancedmomtality.com/restore  🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to Pelvic Floor, Core & More so you never miss an empowering episode about pelvic floor health, core strength, and whole-body healing.   👉 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mom friend who needs to hear that healing is possible.

🍁 Fall isn’t just a season of change outside — it’s the perfect time to reset your approach to fitness and movement.

Have you ever said to yourself: “I know what I should be doing… but I just can’t seem to do it”? Whether it’s exercising, eating well, or taking 10 minutes for yourself, most moms struggle with follow-through — and it’s not because you’re lazy, unmotivated, or broken. The real issue isn’t willpower. It’s your mindset and your nervous system. In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor physical therapist and women’s health advocate, breaks down why so many moms get stuck in the gap between knowing and doing — and how to finally break the cycle. Because healing your body isn’t just about what you do. It’s about how supported, regulated, and empowered you feel while you’re doing it. 💡 Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✅ Why knowledge alone doesn’t create action (and why you’re not the problem). ✅ How stress, overwhelm, and dysregulation keep moms stuck in survival mode. ✅ The mindset shifts that make change sustainable, not stressful. ✅ Practical tips to start small and build momentum with healing habits. ✅ How nervous system regulation is the missing piece in follow-through. 🌸 Why This Matters: You don’t need more willpower — you need more compassion and support. When you regulate your nervous system and shift your mindset, following through on changes becomes possible. Healing then feels like empowerment, not punishment. ✨ Next Steps: 📲 Download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App →  for guided breathwork, mobility, and strength progressions you can do at home. - Download PCM App iTunes: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pelvic-floor-core-more/id6740750561  - Download PCM App Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pqw8e051gua.pmh8skrtsapp&pcampaignid=web_share 💎 Join RESTORE, my 12-week program that walks you step by step through pelvic floor and core healing — so you can stop leaking, reduce prolapse symptoms, and feel strong again.  https://balancedmomtality.com/restore  🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to Pelvic Floor, Core & More so you never miss an empowering episode about pelvic floor health, core strength, and whole-body healing.   👉 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mom friend who needs to hear that healing is possible.

Most women are told that leaking, prolapse, or back pain is just because their core is “weak.” Or that they need to do more kegels. But here’s the truth: the real problem usually isn’t weakness. It’s pressure mismanagement. In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor physical therapist, breaks down why pressure management inside your core is the missing piece no one is talking about — and why ignoring it keeps so many women stuck with symptoms like leaking, prolapse, and pain. If you’ve ever wondered why your exercises, kegels, or “getting stronger” haven’t fully fixed your issues, this episode is going to be a game-changer. 💡 Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✅ What core pressure management really is — and why it matters. ✅ The “canister” model of your core (diaphragm, abdominals, pelvic floor) and how pressure moves. ✅ How unmanaged pressure leads to leaking, prolapse, diastasis recti, and even back/neck pain. ✅ The common mistakes women make (like holding your breath, sucking in, or over-bracing). ✅ Practical strategies to start improving pressure management right now. 🌸 Why This Matters: You don’t need endless kegels or a flatter stomach to heal. You need awareness of how pressure moves through your core — and how to manage it so your body can finally work with you, not against you. Once you understand pressure, you unlock freedom in movement, strength, and confidence.   ✨ Next Steps: 📲 Download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App →  for guided breathwork, mobility, and strength progressions you can do at home. - Download PCM App iTunes: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pelvic-floor-core-more/id6740750561  - Download PCM App Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pqw8e051gua.pmh8skrtsapp&pcampaignid=web_share 💎 Join RESTORE, my 12-week program that walks you step by step through pelvic floor and core healing — so you can stop leaking, reduce prolapse symptoms, and feel strong again.  https://balancedmomtality.com/restore  🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to Pelvic Floor, Core & More so you never miss an empowering episode about pelvic floor health, core strength, and whole-body healing.   👉 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mom friend who needs to hear that healing is possible.

For years, I felt a heaviness, pressure, and pain in my pelvis that no one could explain. I was told it was “just period pain,” “probably prolapse,” or even “all in my head.” But eventually, I learned the truth: it was Pelvic Venous Disorder, also known as Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or alone with your symptoms — this episode is for you. In today’s episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, I’m opening up about my personal journey with PeVD — what it’s like to live with it, what I’ve learned along the way, and how you can manage it throughout your life. Because here’s the thing: pelvic venous disorders are real, they’re common, and you are not broken. There are ways to find relief and live fully, even with this condition. 💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✅ What Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PeVD) actually is — and why it’s often misdiagnosed. ✅ My own journey of living with PeVD: from dismissal to understanding to empowerment. ✅ Everyday strategies that help me manage symptoms (movement, breathwork, release practices, nutrition, supports). ✅ How PeVD shows up differently during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. ✅ The mental + emotional impact of living with chronic pelvic pain — and why naming it matters.

Learning to recognize the signs, advocate for yourself, and build a supportive care team can make all the difference. And when you realize you’re not alone, everything shifts — you can move from fear and frustration into hope and healing. ✨ Next Steps: 📲 Download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App →  for guided breathwork, mobility, and strength progressions you can do at home. - Download PCM App iTunes: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pelvic-floor-core-more/id6740750561  - Download PCM App Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pqw8e051gua.pmh8skrtsapp&pcampaignid=web_share 💎 Join RESTORE, my 12-week program that walks you step by step through pelvic floor and core healing — so you can stop leaking, reduce prolapse symptoms, and feel strong again.  https://balancedmomtality.com/restore  🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to Pelvic Floor, Core & More so you never miss an empowering episode about pelvic floor health, core strength, and whole-body healing.   👉 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mom friend who needs to hear that healing is possible.

Do you usually skip breakfast? Or maybe grab just coffee and hope it carries you through the chaos of the morning? Here’s the truth: the way you start your day has a huge impact on your energy, hormones, nervous system, and even your pelvic floor healing. In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor physical therapist, explains why breakfast is so much more than just “the most important meal of the day.” It’s the foundation for blood sugar balance, nervous system regulation, and the fuel your body needs for healing, especially during pregnancy, postpartum, or when struggling with symptoms like leaking, prolapse, or pelvic pain. And the best part? You don’t need complicated recipes or hours of prep. Just a few simple tweaks can turn your mornings into a powerful healing ritual. 💡 Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✅ Why skipping breakfast or relying on coffee sets you up for crashes, anxiety, and more stress. ✅ How stable blood sugar = stable energy, mood, and pelvic floor resilience. ✅ The 3 must-haves for a healing breakfast: protein, healthy fat, and fiber. ✅ Simple, real-life breakfast ideas you can prep in minutes. ✅ How nutrition connects directly to pelvic floor health and whole-body healing. 🌸 Why This Matters: Healing your pelvic floor and core isn’t just about exercises. It’s about supporting your whole body — hormones, nervous system, fascia, and energy. The food you eat first thing in the morning sets the tone for your entire day, helping you feel grounded, nourished, and strong.   ✨ Next Steps: 📲 Download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App →  for guided breathwork, mobility, and strength progressions you can do at home. - Download PCM App iTunes: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pelvic-floor-core-more/id6740750561  - Download PCM App Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pqw8e051gua.pmh8skrtsapp&pcampaignid=web_share 💎 Join RESTORE, my 12-week program that walks you step by step through pelvic floor and core healing — so you can stop leaking, reduce prolapse symptoms, and feel strong again.  https://balancedmomtality.com/restore  🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to Pelvic Floor, Core & More so you never miss an empowering episode about pelvic floor health, core strength, and whole-body healing.   👉 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mom friend who needs to hear that healing is possible.
