We get asked all the time... "Do I really have to do this?" Meaning taking the time for intentional rehab postpartum, before returning to 'regular' exercise. No matter who you are, what you did or didn't do during pregnancy, and how much you know about what happened to your body during birth, no mom is exempt from the need to rebuild a solid foundation before returning to whatever you used to do.

It can be frustrating when you are not feeling like yourself and just want some normalcy, but progressing too quickly in an effort to "bounce back' will likely bite you in the ass long term. If you are an expecting mom, new mom, or have a friend that is running past your house at 4 weeks postpartum, this episode is a must listen!

No matter if you are facing a pelvic floor repair, an orthopedic surgery, or some type of elective cosmetic surgery, the surgery itself is not going to solve all your problems. Sorry to break it to you! Of course it seems like it will, but surgery simply fixes the glaring pain point and doesn't uncover the cause behind the need for that surgery in the first place. In this episode, we try to educate and empower any mom who has had a surgical procedure or is facing one in the future to ask the right questions, seek out the proper support, and do all the things to make sure recovery is as smooth as possible and future issues can be avoided.
