Can your body actually be tighter after having kids? According to our guest Danielle Donovan, creator of The Maia Method, the answer is YES — and we’re not just talking abs.
In this hilarious and surprisingly empowering episode, Em & Dom dive deep into the real core — the one that keeps you from peeing when you sneeze. From queefing confessions and “Workout Move or Sex Position?” to myth-busting Kegel talk, we’re getting real about postpartum bodies, pelvic floors, and finding strength (and pleasure) again after babies.
In This Episode:
• What your pelvic floor actually is — and why it matters
• The biggest postpartum workout mistakes moms make
• How your “core” affects everything from posture to sex
• Why tightening isn’t the same as strengthening
• And yes… the science behind better orgasms
