Pelvic Floor, Core & More | Healing Beyond Kegels: Core Rehab, Prenatal Fitness, Birth Prep, Postpartum Recovery, Nervous System Regulation, and Holistic Self-Care for Moms

147- Restore Your Spine: Healing the Mid + Upper Back for Core & Pelvic Floor Support

If you’re walking around with your shoulders hunched, neck tight, and feeling like your posture has totally collapsed… this episode is your invitation to breathe deeper, open your heart, and reconnect to your core — from the top down.
In this episode of the Restore Your Joints series, we’re diving into the mid and upper back and how it directly affects your pelvic floor, core stability, posture, and even how you breathe. This part of the spine is the bridge between your breath and brace — and if it’s not mobile or functioning well, your healing will feel incomplete, no matter how many exercises you try.
We’ll talk about:
What the thoracic spine actually does — and why it matters for pelvic health
How shallow breathing and tight ribs = poor pressure management
The connection between shoulder dysfunction and core weakness
My favorite mobility and breath practices to restore your rib cage and upper back
How this all ties into pelvic floor symptoms like leaking, prolapse, or feeling disconnected from your core
✨ Whether you’re postpartum, in a season of healing, or simply ready to feel stronger and more aligned — this episode will help you take your next step with confidence and clarity.

146- Plan Your Power// Why Prepping Your Workouts = Consistency & Confidence

If you’ve ever skipped a workout because you “just didn’t know what to do” — this episode is for you.
We’re diving deep into the real reason so many women struggle with consistency when it comes to movement. Spoiler: it’s not laziness, lack of willpower, or needing more motivation. It’s decision fatigue, nervous system overload, and not having a plan that actually supports your body, energy, and goals.
In this episode, you’ll learn: ✨ The energetics behind planning + why it creates consistency ✨ How prepping your workouts removes guilt, pressure, and overwhelm ✨ 3 pillars of creating an aligned, flexible workout plan ✨ Real-life strategies to make movement feel doable again ✨ Why this is especially important for women healing their core + pelvic floor
We also talk about why so many women need more than “just follow this random YouTube video” and how our nervous system craves structure with flexibility. You deserve a plan that meets you where you are — and moves you forward with purpose.

145- Low Back & SI Joint Pain During Pregnancy, Postpartum & Beyond?// Restoring Your SIJ & Pelvis for Optimal Core Function

If your low back is always tight, your SI joint feels like it’s slipping or stuck, or you’re constantly clenching something just to hold yourself together... this episode is for you. 😵‍💫
In this episode of the Restore Your Joints series, Dr. Desiree breaks down the sneaky connection between SI joint dysfunction, low back pain, and your pelvic floor — and how to restore your core stability from the ground up.
You’ll learn what the SI joint actually does (and why it’s a hidden culprit for pain), how asymmetries and instability create tension in the whole core system, and most importantly — how to start reconnecting to your body in a way that feels strong, safe, and supported. ❤️‍🩹
This isn’t about “fixing” your back — it’s about re-patterning how you move, breathe, and support your whole body… from the inside out.
🧘‍♀️ Inside This Episode:
What the SI joint really is (and why it matters)
Why low back pain isn’t always from your low back
The link between pelvic floor dysfunction + spinal alignment
How breathing & bracing help stabilize your hips
Real tools to build true, functional core strength
Why sit-ups aren’t the solution (and what actually works)
What RESTORE teaches that most fitness programs don’t

142- When You Gotta Go... But You Just Went// Healing Urgency and Urge Incontinence Naturally

Have you ever peed 3 times before leaving the house “just in case”? Or felt that sudden, overwhelming urge to go... even though you literally just went? You’re not alone — and you’re not broken. Today we’re talking all things urge incontinence, overactive bladder, and how to restore your body’s connection to your bladder, your breath, and your pelvic floor.
💥 Inside This Episode, We Cover:
What urge incontinence actually is (and what it’s NOT)
Why kegels, Emsella chairs, and "just hold it longer" don't work
The nervous system–pelvic floor–brain connection
How posture and breath create pressure that affects bladder control
My 3 favorite techniques to calm urgency starting today
Why this is so much deeper than just your pelvic floor — and how your whole body plays a role
What to do instead when urgency strikes, and how to retrain your bladder without fear
🔄 Let’s Rewire the Patterns – Not Just the Muscles
We’ve been told that leaking or peeing yourself is “just part of motherhood” or “what happens as you get older.” But that’s a lie — and it’s keeping too many women trapped in shame, pads, and bathrooms they can’t trust.
This episode will show you what’s really going on, and how you can start to take your power back, naturally.
🎧 Tune In If:
You feel like your bladder is calling the shots
You’re tired of rushing to the bathroom constantly or leaking during the day
You’ve tried the “usual” pelvic floor advice and it didn’t work
You want a full-body, full-life approach that actually gets to the root
You’re curious about how nervous system work fits into pelvic health

141- Restore Your Knees to Restore Your Core// Why your pelvic floor depends on what’s happening below the belt

🌀 You’re doing the breathing. You’re doing the bracing. But your knees?
Still unstable, stiff, or sore? That’s not just a leg-day problem — it’s a pelvic floor one.
In today’s episode, I’m walking you through how your knees and pelvic floor are deeply connected, and why knee weakness or misalignment could be the real reason you’re still leaking, feeling pressure, or can’t feel strong — no matter how many kegels you’ve done.
💬 “Your knees are messengers, babe. And your pelvic floor is listening.”
This is the conversation most pelvic floor programs don’t include — and that’s exactly why I created RESTORE. Because healing your core is about way more than kegels and crunches. It’s a full-body recalibration.
🌿 In this episode, we cover:
Why knee pain or weakness might be causing your pelvic floor symptoms
The chain reaction between your foot, hip, knee, and pelvic floor
What “leaking with squats” is really telling you about your alignment
The 3 movement patterns that can build real strength & support
Why your breath, glutes & feet matter more than your crunch count
🧠 You’ll walk away with:
A deeper understanding of your kinetic chain
The real reason sit-ups aren’t solving your symptoms
Simple cues for building knee-to-core coordination
What to do before you go back to running or jumping

140- From Funk to Flow// What It Is Trying To Tell You & How to Reset Your Mind, Body & Energy

We all know that feeling — when your motivation disappears, your energy dips, and even the simplest tasks feel heavy. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just in a funk.
In this episode, Dr. Desiree dives into what’s really going on when you feel off, disconnected, or unmotivated — and how to get out of that stuck state without pushing or shaming yourself. You’ll learn how your nervous system, emotions, and energy are all connected, and how to create tiny shifts that bring you back into flow.
This isn’t about forcing productivity — it’s about honoring your body’s signals, restoring balance, and reconnecting to yourself.
🌿 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✨ Why funks happen — and what your body might actually be trying to tell you. ✨ The science behind being “stuck” in freeze mode or dysregulation. ✨ What not to do when you’re in a funk (hint: it’s not more pressure or guilt). ✨ Simple body-led practices to reset your mind and energy. ✨ How movement, breathwork, and environment shifts help you feel grounded again. ✨ The importance of nervous system regulation in breaking the burnout cycle.
💡 Top Takeaways:
💫 A funk is feedback, not failure — your body is asking for something. 💫 You can’t think your way out; you have to feel your way through. 💫 Micro-movements, grounding, and gentle action rebuild momentum. 💫 Self-compassion and small steps are the fastest way back to alignment.
🧘 Try These Mini Resets:
Step outside barefoot for 2 minutes. Feel your feet on the ground.
Place your hand on your heart + belly and exhale slowly.
Move your body in a way that feels good, not punishing.
Change your environment — open a window, shift lighting, or play new music.
Write down 3 things that feel light, easy, or joyful today.
🎧 Listen If You’re Feeling:
Mentally or emotionally exhausted.
Stuck in freeze mode or burnout.
Like you’ve “lost your spark” or motivation.
Physically depleted or disconnected from your body.
✨ Remember: Healing isn’t always about doing more. Sometimes, it’s about slowing down, listening, and letting your energy rise again — one grounded breath at a time. 💛

139- From the Ground Up// How Restoring Your Feet and Ankles Can Transform Your Pelvic Floor Health

When it comes to pelvic floor healing, everyone’s talking about the core, the hips, and the breath… but almost no one is talking about your feet. 👣
In this episode, we’re taking your healing literally from the ground up. You’ll learn how your feet and ankles directly affect your pelvic floor, core, and posture — and why reconnecting to your foundation might just be the missing piece to your healing.
Whether you’re dealing with leaking, pelvic pressure, prolapse symptoms, or persistent low back tension, this episode will help you understand why restoring your foundation changes everything.
🌿 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✨ How your feet and ankles are connected to your pelvic floor through the kinetic chain and fascial lines.✨ Why foot stiffness, poor balance, or collapsed arches can create pressure and strain in your pelvic floor.✨ The hidden effects of modern life — shoes, sitting, and lack of barefoot time — on your pelvic and core health.✨ Simple, restorative practices to improve ankle mobility, strengthen your feet, and improve posture.✨ How to integrate breathwork, grounding, and balance for a more stable, supported pelvic floor.
💡 Top Takeaways:
💫 True healing starts from the ground up — your feet are your foundation.💫 A strong, mobile, and grounded base reduces core pressure and supports pelvic floor balance.💫 Modern habits can disconnect us from our natural movement and proprioception — but we can retrain it.💫 Simple daily practices like barefoot time, ankle mobility drills, and mindful standing make a huge difference.
🧘 Try These at Home:
Practice standing barefoot and feeling equal pressure through your big toe, pinky, and heel.
Do single leg balance and heel raises while focusing on breath coordination.
Roll your feet with a small ball to release fascia and increase circulation.
Pair your movement with slow, full breaths to connect your feet, core, and pelvic floor.
🎧 Tune In If You’re Experiencing:
Leaking, pelvic pressure, or heaviness.
Chronic hip, back, or knee pain.
Postpartum weakness or instability.
Tight calves or limited ankle mobility.
Feeling disconnected from your body and movement.

138- Beyond the Core// Why Restoring the Whole Kinetic Chain Is Essential to True Healing

If you’ve ever been told to “just strengthen your core” for back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, or leaking , this episode is your wake-up call.
Because here’s the truth → your core doesn’t work alone. It’s part of a powerful kinetic chain: your feet, hips, ribs, shoulders, and everything in between, all working together to create strength, stability, and balance.
When one piece of that chain isn’t functioning properly, your entire system compensates. That means your “core problem” might actually start in your feet, hips, posture, or even your breath.
🌿 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
✨ What the kinetic chain actually is — and why it matters for pelvic floor and core healing. ✨ Why focusing only on your abs or “core engagement” can sometimes make things worse. ✨ How poor mobility or strength in your hips, back, or shoulders affects your pelvic floor. ✨ The crucial role of breathwork and rib cage mobility in restoring balance. ✨ How to strengthen your entire system — not just one muscle group. ✨ Why true healing requires integrating posture, strength, and nervous system regulation.
🧠 Key Takeaways:
💡 The body is an interconnected system, not separate parts. 💡 Healing one link (like the core) requires addressing the rest of the chain. 💡 Breath, posture, and mobility are just as important as strength. 💡 Whole-body restoration creates lasting results — not temporary fixes.
🌸 Quote from the Episode:
“You can’t heal one link in the chain and expect the whole thing to move freely. When we restore the entire system — breath, posture, strength, and connection — that’s when the magic happens.”
