Beschrijving

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jenna Mullen, an expert pelvic floor physical therapist, to talk about a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention—bladder health and exercise during pregnancy and postpartum. We dive into what’s actually normal (hint: leaking when you sneeze isn’t supposed to be part of motherhood), common signs your body might need more support, and how to stay active safely through every stage. Whether you're expecting, recently postpartum, or just curious about optimizing your pelvic health, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss!

Midwife Myths: Facts Over Fear with Jasmine Merritt, Certified Professional Midwife and Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula

In this episode, I sit down with my midwife to explore what midwifery care truly looks like and why home birth can be a safe option especially for low-risk pregnancies. We talk about how she determines who’s a good candidate, what holistic care means from prenatal through postpartum, and the role of movement and body awareness for smoother births. She also debunks common myths, happens in an emergency, how midwives are highly trained in complicated birth situations—and shares how emotional support at home shapes the birth experience. And so much more! If you’re curious about home birth or want a deeper look at women’s health beyond the hospital, this conversation is for you!
