Hey momma, are you exhausted from putting your daily aches and pins aside to care for everyone else? Do you struggle to make time for regular physical therapy, chiropractic or massage appointments for yourself? I’ve been there.
Hi. I’m Amanda, a mom of three littles and a working physical therapist. I had my first baby during the last year of graduate school. I was new to motherhood and overwhelmed with my career journey. I remember being on the bed with my laptop while nursing a baby, juggling it all at once. I remember crying from mental exhaustion heightened by physical neck, shoulder and back pain. But I endlessly rocked my velcro baby anyway. It was lonely. It was uncomfortable. I needed to manage my pain but had no time to spare for MY OWN NEEDS.
When my second child came, I had a toddler and a career to juggle. Still just as busy but a little bit wiser. This time I focused on MY body mechanics in all the things. The physical aches decreased with simple shifts to my positioning during nursing, cleaning, work and play.
I can’t be the only one with aches and pains in motherhood. So here I am, live in your earbuds with all my recommendations and none of the timely appointments. In this podcast, I use my professional education, real patient experiences and personal mom journey to help you take care of yourself. I focus on body mechanics, ergonomics and easy do-anywhere exercises to fix common pain points for working moms. Grab all the pillows, let’s get comfy and love those babies with more joy and less pain.

44. Stretch It Out: A Quick Reset for Nursing & Everyday Mom Life
Motherhood is demanding, and our bodies feel it—especially our shoulders, neck, and back from nursing, carrying, or even hours at a computer. In this final episode of our National Breastfeeding Month series, I’m sharing a quick, practical stretch break you can do anytime, anywhere to ease tension and bring a little relief.
This episode is designed with moms of infants in mind, but it works beautifully for toddler moms, working moms, and anyone who needs a reset from daily physical strain. Take a few minutes for yourself today—you deserve it.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Simple stretches to release common “mom tension” spots
How to reset your body in just a few minutes
Why even short breaks can improve posture, energy, and comfort
