In this week’s episode, we’re joined by pelvic floor specialist Dr. Ashley Schaab for a conversation every mom deserves to hear. Pelvic floor health is one of those things we all know matters… but no one actually talks about until we’re already struggling with discomfort, leaking, pain, or feeling like our bodies just aren’t the same postpartum.
Ashley walks us through what actually happens to the pelvic floor during pregnancy and birth, how common symptoms are (and which ones aren’t normal), and why healing requires so much more than “just do your kegels.”
She shares practical, gentle steps moms can take to support healing, how to advocate for real care, and why reconnecting with your body is such an important part of postpartum mental health.
Whether you’re newly postpartum or years into motherhood, this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated, and empowered — because your body deserves support, not silence.
