Descripción

In part two of our conversation with Amy, we shift from motherhood into what she considers one of her greatest purposes: teaching. Amy is a teacher, CrossFit gym co-owner, mentor, mom, and someone who pours deeply into the people around her. In this episode, we have an honest conversation about the realities of public education in North Carolina, the emotional demands educators face, and the changing needs of students and families today. We talk about the challenges teachers carry beyond lesson plans and classrooms, the importance of empathy and connection, and what it looks like to continue showing up for others when so much is constantly being asked of you. We also discuss something many women know all too well: when you spend your life pouring into everyone else, how do you make time to pour back into yourself? This conversation is for teachers, parents, caregivers, and anyone trying to balance purpose, passion, and self-care. Because caring deeply can be beautiful — but you matter too. And if you’ve ever felt stretched thin while trying to be everything to everyone… you’re not crazy.

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.

episode Burned Out: The Messy Middle artwork

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.

episode Burned Out: The Cost of Doing It All artwork

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.
