This week on Work in Progress: Mom’s Edition, we’re joined by healthcare trailblazer Dr. Samantha Fazio Semar, founder of Pelvio Physical Therapy and mom to one-year-old Avery. Dr. Sam (@pelvio.pt) is on a mission to make pelvic floor care more accessible and to revolutionize pregnancy and postpartum rehabilitation in Philadelphia.

We dive into what pelvic floor physical therapy actually is, common misconceptions, and why every mom (yes, even the ones who’ve peed in the woods 🙋‍♀️) should know about it. Sam also opens up about running her own practice, balancing motherhood, and finding strength—literally and figuratively—through all of it.

Raw, real, and unexpectedly hilarious, this episode reminds us that taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your family.
