Doing It All (And Feeling It All): A Conversation with Dr. Shadia Sheikh, Part II

More Than Kegels: Postpartum, Hormones, & Breaking the Silence , Episode 2

In Part 2 of our Pelvic Floor Health Series, Candice and Danielle continue their conversation with Dr. Jenn Frankoski, Board Certified Physical Therapist, certified Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES), and founder of Be the Change Physiotherapy. This episode dives into what happens after childbirth—and why recovery doesn't necessarily end at your six-week postpartum checkup. Dr. Jenn discusses how postpartum care has evolved, why individualized rehabilitation matters, and how women can safely return to exercise and daily activities. The conversation also explores: * What postpartum healing should really look like * How hormones, perimenopause, and menopause affect the pelvic floor * Why pelvic floor dysfunction isn't just a postpartum issue * Common myths and misconceptions about pelvic floor health * The emotional and psychological impact of symptoms like leaking, pain, and pelvic pressure * How women can advocate for themselves and seek the care they deserve Whether you're a new mom, an athlete, decades postpartum, or navigating midlife, this episode is filled with practical advice, reassurance, and empowering information to help you better understand your body. If you missed Part 1, be sure to go back and listen as Dr. Jenn explains what the pelvic floor is, common signs and symptoms of dysfunction, and why "just do your Kegels" isn't always the solution. Because when it comes to your health, common doesn't always mean normal—and asking questions is the first step toward healing. Because around here, we believe informed women make empowered women...and Girl, You Ain't Crazy.

More Than Kegels: The Truth About Pelvic Floor Health, Episode 1

How much do you really know about your pelvic floor? If your answer is "not much," you're not alone—and that's exactly why we're having this conversation. In Part 1 of our Pelvic Floor Health Series, Candice and Danielle sit down with Dr. Jennifer Iskat Frankoski, Board Certified Physical Therapist, certified Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES), and founder of Be the Change Physiotherapy, to discuss a part of women's health that is often overlooked, misunderstood, or simply dismissed. Together, we answer questions like: * What is the pelvic floor, and what does it actually do? * Are leaking, urgency, and pelvic pain really "normal"? * Why isn't "just do your Kegels" the answer for everyone? * What signs and symptoms should women pay attention to? Dr. Frankoski shares how her advanced orthopedic and pelvic floor training—and her one-on-one, patient-centered approach—helps women address the root cause of their symptoms through education, movement, strength training, manual therapy, and individualized care. This episode is filled with practical information, myth-busting, and plenty of honest conversation about the things women often feel too embarrassed to talk about... yes, including peeing, leaking, and everything in between. Whether you're an athlete, a new mom, navigating menopause, or simply want to better understand your body, this series is for you. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll discuss postpartum healing, hormonal changes, aging, common myths, and how breaking the silence around pelvic floor health empowers women to advocate for themselves. Because common doesn't always mean normal... and you're definitely not crazy.

Burned Out: The Messy Middle

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you're running on fumes while still adding things to your to-do list, this episode is for you. In this honest and unfiltered conversation, Candice and Danielle explore what burnout looks like in their own lives—not from the perspective of having figured it out, but from living through it in real time. From overpacked schedules and endless obligations to negative self-talk and the pressure to "do it all," they unpack the patterns that keep them stuck in cycles of stress and overwhelm. Along the way, they discuss what their therapists have challenged them to consider, what spiraling looks like for each of them, why busyness can become a coping mechanism, and the uncomfortable reality that many of the things draining us are things we've said yes to. This episode doesn't offer a neat checklist or a perfect solution. Instead, it's an honest look at the messy middle of burnout—and a reminder that recognizing the patterns may be the first step toward changing them. In this episode: • What burnout looks like in everyday life • The role of self-talk and unrealistic expectations • Why we keep filling every empty space on our calendars • How busyness can become part of our identity • Small mindset shifts that can help us slow down Next week, we'll explore how to recognize burnout earlier and share practical strategies to help prevent reaching the breaking point. Because you ain't crazy... you might just be exhausted.

Burned Out: The Cost of Doing It All

Candice recently returned from a 48-hour beach camping trip with her dogs, no WiFi, no schedule, and no expectations. What she thought was a simple getaway quickly became a realization: she wasn't just tired—she was burned out. In this first episode of our burnout series, we talk about the warning signs we ignored, how burnout shows up differently for each of us, and why so many women keep pushing long after they're running on empty. We discuss functioning on momentum instead of energy, the pressure we put on ourselves, and why it's often easier to keep going than to stop and admit we're exhausted. We also spend some time wondering what Type B people stress about, because we'd genuinely like to know. If you've ever found yourself saying, "I'll rest after this week," "I just need to get through one more thing," or wondering why you're so tired even when you're technically getting everything done, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes "I'm fine" is the biggest warning sign of all.

Still Showing Up, Still Me: Our Final Episode with Amy

In the final episode of our series with Amy, we dive into the realities of building a life, business, and family alongside your spouse — and why communication matters more than perfection. Amy shares how she and her husband learned to give each other space to decompress without taking it personally, and how those small adjustments changed everything. We also talk about the inspiration behind her girls fitness program, the importance of creating spaces where young girls feel strong, supported, and confident, and why community matters at every age. Candice and Amy open up about the hidden struggles of being viewed as “the strong one” — how capable women are often the least checked on, even when they’re carrying the heaviest loads. The conversation explores the importance of asking for help, communicating your needs, and learning that strength doesn’t mean doing everything alone. Amy leaves listeners with simple but powerful encouragement for navigating life’s hard seasons: “You got this.” A heartfelt and honest close to a series about motherhood, wellness, relationships, resilience, and showing up for yourself and others.
