If you’ve ever felt that sudden, drop-everything-and-run need to pee, you’ve experienced urgency. It’s that powerful message from your body saying it’s time to GO! 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...

Today’s episode is a special one: Megan interviews Roxi about her recent birth experience! Just a couple of weeks ago, Roxi welcomed her third baby into the world, and…her first BOY! In today’s conversation, Roxi reflects on what it was like preparing for and experiencing this sweet milestone moment. Unlike her first two pregnancies, Roxi admits this one felt much more laid-back (as in, she wasn’t as consumed by all the details because, well, life was happening)! We’re...
Lichen sclerosus is one of those conditions that doesn’t get nearly enough attention, even though it can have a MAJOR impact on quality of life. In today’s conversation, we’re breaking down what lichen sclerosus is, what it looks like, and why early treatment makes SUCH a big difference. Lichen sclerosus is not something you want brushed off as “normal.” If left untreated, it can progress to many unwanted symptoms. Thankfully, there’s good news - LS can be managed with the rig...
It’s hard to believe, but…we’ve made it to episode 50! We’re super excited to hit this milestone, and couldn’t resist having a little extra fun with this one.

Hip pain is something many women chalk up to “just the way it is” - especially as we move through different seasons of life. But…what if your hips are telling you there’s MORE going on beneath the surface? In today’s episode, we’re zooming in on why the hip-pelvic floor connection plays a critical role here. Pelvic floor therapy can help tremendously with reducing pain, restoring movement, AND supporting overall wellness. The truth is, your hips and pelvic floor share fascial and ...
Diastasis recti (DR) is one of THE most misunderstood and frequently asked-about topics in our clinics. There's a LOT of outdated information floating around about it, so we want to set the record straight with this episode!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. Updated research shows that 100 percent of women will experience...
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. While they might sound appealing, the reality is these devices are expensive, over-markete...

With June being Men’s Health Month, we’re continuing the conversation with a topic that impacts far more men than you might think: life after a prostatectomy. Whether it’s due to prostate cancer, elevated PSA levels, or other health concerns, prostate removal is a MAJOR event, and the physical and emotional recovery can be just as significant. In today’s conversation, we’re discussing what men really experience after prostate removal, and how pelvic rehab can be a total game changer...
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. While pelvic floor dysfunction is more commonly talked about in women’s health spaces, we’re seeing more and more male patients in our clinics. Most of them have waited months (or even years) before getting support. That has GOT to change! In today’s conversation, we’re talking about men’s pelvic health, and the REAL issues they can experience when se...

Chronic pain can feel like an endless loop, but understanding why it’s happening can make all the difference! In today’s conversation, we dive into the truth about chronic pain, neuroplasticity, and how our bodies and minds can sometimes get stuck in a cycle that amplifies discomfort and fear. We see this often with the clients in our practices; the very real physical AND emotional challenges that come with retraining both the brain and body to feel safe again can be a lot to navigate...
Today’s episode is a SPICY one, as we’re covering a bit of a ‘taboo’ topic: SEX! In today’s conversation, we’re breaking taboos and gaining awareness on the clitoris, female pleasure, sexual health, and more. Unfortunately, there is still such a lack of research and education regarding the female body; all of it is shrouded in mystery and misinformation in our society. Thankfully, we’re finally understanding more about the clitoris (the female organ whose sole function is PLEASURE), a...
Something that’s often overlooked but crucial to our health and well-being… POOPING! This is a topic we’re both passionate about, because we know how impactful pooping (and, well, not pooping) can be on your everyday life. In today’s conversation, we’re discussing why pooping shouldn’t be a struggle. Dealing with constipation (whether you’re a child or adult), can be extremely difficult, and it’s something that should be addressed ASAP. Regular bowel movements MATTER, but th...
Something that’s been popping up a lot for both of us in our practices recently is this idea about certain exercises being ‘bad’ for you. We’re often asked if you should avoid exercise due to ‘XYZ’. We really wanted to break down some misconceptions and share our thoughts in this episode! In today’s conversation, we’re discussing the concept of ‘moving confidently’, and what exercise safety in pelvic health looks like. We don’t believe there’s any such thing as bad exercise or movemen...

She’s addressing topics surrounding pelvic floor relaxation, correct posture while holding your kids, key considerations for pelvic floor changes post-hysterectomy, what movement and posture can look like during pregnancy, and more. While this episode isn’t *quite* like a typical one, we hope ...
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...
