Just A Phase Podcast

In this episode, we’re joined by Lia Bartha, founder of B The Method, to talk about the misunderstood pelvic floor that impacts way more than just postpartum recovery. From smoother bowel movements to better sex, deeper core strength to birth prep—your pelvic floor is working all the time, and it’s time we stop ignoring it. Lia walks us through why low-impact movement isn’t “less effective,” how to train for longevity (not just aesthetics), and how slowing down in your workouts might actually give you more energy, better results, and a nervous system that feels safe in your body again. Whether you’re regularly cycling, TTC, pregnant, postpartum, or just want to feel stronger from the inside out, this one’s for you. TOPICS COVERED ➡ Why pelvic floor health matters at every age (not just after babies) ➡ The real reason your core feels off...and how to actually fix it ➡ Why tight doesn’t mean strong (hi, hypertonic pelvic floors) ➡ The lie that slow workouts are “easy” ➡ How to use your breath to protect your spine, calm your nervous system, and unlock your power ➡ Why aesthetics are fine—but inner strength has to come first ➡ How Lia built B the Method to be gentle, effective, and anti-burnout ➡ The shocking connection between pelvic tension and your stress response ➡ The one class Lia says will change your relationship to your body RESOURCES ➡ Use code JUSTAPHASE for 1 FREE month of B The Method [https://bthemethod.com/] workouts with Lia Bartha!! https://app.bthemethod.com/checkout/subscribe/purchase?code=justaphase&plan=monthly [https://app.bthemethod.com/checkout/subscribe/purchase?code=justaphase&plan=monthly] SPONSORS ➡ Go to kalediagnostics.com [https://kalediagnostics.com/] and use code JUSTAPHASE for up to $325 off their packages! ➡ Head to fondbonebroth.com/justaphase [https://partners.fondbonebroth.com/JUSTAPHASE] and use code JUSTAPHASE for 10% off your first order.

You know her, you love her, and chances are you’ve underlined half of her books: Alisa Vitti is in the house! Founder of the Cycle Syncing Method and bestselling author of WomanCode and In the Flo, she’s the OG of hormone empowerment—and she’s here to break down the real science and natural patterns behind your libido (hint: you’re not lazy, broken, or just “not in the mood”). This episode is for every woman who’s ever wondered..."Why don’t I want sex anymore? Is this just what getting older feels like? Can I actually fix this?" Spoiler: Yes, yes you can...and it starts with cupcakes, cortisol, and clitoral edging (not a typo). Whether you’re postpartum, perimenopausal, or just trying to get your spark back, this one’s a must-listen. You’ll walk away with tangible tools to reconnect to your body, your pleasure, and your power...and probably order In the Flo if you haven’t already. This is your permission slip to stop outsourcing your pleasure, tune into your body, and treat oxytocin like the hormone holy grail it is. You’re not broken. You’re just in a phase. And we’ve got you.

We’re baaaaack—with a mic in one hand and a million ideas in the other. Season 3 kicks off with some big energy and even bigger updates: a rebrand, a renewed mission, and a whole lot of honesty about what it actually looks like to run a wellness biz while juggling babies, burnout, and affiliate links. In this no-filter episode, we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes peek at why we’re shifting gears in our brand, what’s actually been working for us (and what hasn’t), and how we’re trying to serve you better in every phase of womanhood, without selling our souls or our sanity. Because here’s the thing: we’ve evolved. We're not the same women who started this. And maybe you aren’t either. This episode is half vent sesh, half vision board. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really going on behind your favorite wellness accounts—or you’re navigating your own pivot—this one’s for you. ***We just bought Julie a new mic so her audio will be fixed for future episodes!!
