In this episode, we’re joined by Lia Bartha, founder of B The Method, to talk about the misunderstood pelvic floor that impacts way more than just postpartum recovery. From smoother bowel movements to better sex, deeper core strength to birth prep—your pelvic floor is working all the time, and it’s time we stop ignoring it.
Lia walks us through why low-impact movement isn’t “less effective,” how to train for longevity (not just aesthetics), and how slowing down in your workouts might actually give you more energy, better results, and a nervous system that feels safe in your body again. Whether you’re regularly cycling, TTC, pregnant, postpartum, or just want to feel stronger from the inside out, this one’s for you.
