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

180- If You’ve Been Thinking About Starting Your Healing Journey Pelvic Floor or Otherwise… This Is Your Sign

If you’ve been listening to these episodes thinking, “I know I need to do something… but I haven’t started yet” — this episode is for you.
So many women stay stuck not because they don’t care or aren’t trying hard enough, but because they’re waiting for the right time, the perfect plan, or more information.
But the truth is — waiting often just keeps you in the same cycle longer.
In this episode, Dr. Des talks about why we hesitate to take action, what’s actually keeping you stuck, and what it really takes to start seeing progress when it comes to your pelvic floor, core, and overall strength.
If you’ve been dealing with leaking, pelvic pressure, pain, or feeling disconnected from your body, this is your reminder that you don’t need to have everything figured out — you just need a starting point.

179- What Real Pelvic Floor Progress Actually Looks Like // And Why You Might Be Further Along Than You Think

If you’ve ever felt like your body “should be better by now”… this episode is for you.
One of the biggest frustrations women experience when working on their pelvic floor and core is feeling like they’re not making progress fast enough — especially when symptoms like leaking, pressure, or discomfort don’t disappear overnight.
But here’s the truth: healing is not linear.
In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down what real pelvic floor progress actually looks like, why symptom fluctuations are normal, and how to recognize the signs that your body is improving — even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure if what you’re doing is working, this conversation will help you shift your perspective and rebuild confidence in your body and your healing process.
In This Episode, We Explore:
Why pelvic floor healing is not a straight line
The difference between symptom elimination and true progress
Signs your body is improving that most women overlook
Why flare-ups don’t mean you’ve gone backwards
How to build strength and resilience over time
The role of consistency, patience, and proper progression
Why This Matters
So many women quit too early — not because their body isn’t capable of healing, but because they don’t realize what progress actually looks like.
When you understand how your body adapts and improves, you can move forward with more confidence, less frustration, and better results.
This is also exactly what we focus on inside RESTORE — providing a structured, step-by-step approach so you’re not guessing what to do or wondering if you’re doing it “right.”

178- The Pelvic Floor & Gut Connection // Why Your Digestion Affects Your Core More Than You Think

If you’ve ever felt bloated, constipated, or like your digestion is off — and at the same time noticed more pelvic pressure, leaking, or discomfort… this is not a coincidence.
Your gut and pelvic floor are deeply connected.
And for many women, ongoing digestive issues like constipation, straining, or chronic bloating can quietly contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction, core weakness, and symptoms that don’t seem to fully resolve.
In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down how your digestion impacts your pelvic floor, why straining and pressure matter more than you think, and what simple shifts can help support both systems so your body can function — and feel — better.
If you’ve been focusing only on exercises but still feel stuck, this conversation may help you uncover one of the missing pieces.
In This Episode, We Explore:
The connection between your gut, core, and pelvic floor
Why constipation is one of the biggest stressors on the pelvic floor
How bloating and pressure can contribute to symptoms like heaviness and leaking
Everyday habits that may be making things worse without you realizing it
Simple ways to support digestion and reduce strain on your body
Why This Matters
You can’t fully heal your pelvic floor if your system is constantly under pressure.
Addressing digestion, breath, and daily habits is often the key to reducing symptoms and building true, lasting strength.
This is also a big part of what we focus on inside RESTORE, where we take a whole-body approach to rebuilding your core and pelvic floor so you’re not just treating symptoms — you’re addressing the root.

177- Things You’re Doing to ‘Help’ Your Pelvic Floor… That Might Be Making It Worse

If you’ve been doing all the “right” things — kegels, breathwork, core work, workouts — but you’re still dealing with leaking, pelvic pressure, pain, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode might shift everything for you.
Because sometimes the issue isn’t that you’re not trying hard enough… It’s that you’ve been given advice that doesn’t actually match what your body needs.
In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down some of the most common things women are doing to “help” their pelvic floor that may actually be increasing tension, worsening symptoms, or keeping them stuck.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated that nothing seems to be working, this conversation will help you understand why — and what your body may actually need instead.

176- What My Body Taught Me About Strength, Healing & Balance In The Last 35 Yrs (Birthday Reflections)

This week’s episode is a little different.
As I celebrate another trip around the sun, I’m taking a moment to reflect on some of the biggest lessons my body, my patients, and my life have taught me about strength, healing, motherhood, and learning to actually listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us.
Over the years — through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, injuries, PeVD, stress, rebuilding strength, and helping hundreds of women navigate their own pelvic health journeys — I’ve realized that the way we’re taught to approach our bodies often leads us further away from healing instead of closer to it.
In this episode I share several of the most important lessons I’ve learned about healing and health and wellness. And I wanted to share them with you today so that you can hopefully learn them sooner than me.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated with your body, disconnected from it, or unsure how to move forward with strength and confidence again, this conversation is for you.
These lessons are also the foundation of the work I teach inside RESTORE, my 12-week pelvic floor and core rehabilitation program inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App, where women learn how to rebuild strength, reduce symptoms like leaking or pelvic pressure, and reconnect with their bodies in a sustainable way.

175- Spring Reset for Women // 5 Ways to Reawaken Your Body After Winter

Spring naturally invites us to reset, refresh, and reconnect with ourselves. But after a long winter of stress, busy schedules, and less movement, many women feel the opposite of refreshed — they feel stiff, tired, disconnected from their bodies, and unsure how to restart healthy habits.
In this episode, Dr. Des shares a holistic Spring Reset framework designed specifically for women who want to rebuild strength, reconnect with their core and pelvic floor, and feel more energized without extreme workouts or restrictive health trends.
Instead of jumping straight into intense exercise routines or pressure-filled “summer body” goals, this episode walks you through five foundational ways to reset your body from the inside out — starting with breath, movement, environment, and nervous system regulation.
Whether you're dealing with pelvic floor symptoms like leaking, pelvic pressure, core weakness, or simply feeling out of sync with your body, this episode will help you start your spring season with clarity, balance, and sustainable habits.
In This Episode You’ll Learn
✔ Why many women feel disconnected from their body after winter ✔ How breathwork and nervous system regulation support pelvic floor healing ✔ Why jumping straight into intense workouts can worsen symptoms like leaking or pelvic pressure ✔ How your environment influences your stress levels, habits, and healing ✔ The five simple areas to reset if you want to rebuild strength and energy this spring
The Spring Reset Framework
If your body feels stiff, tired, or out of rhythm after winter, focus on resetting these five areas:
1️⃣ Reset Your Breath & Nervous System
2️⃣ Reset Your Movement
3️⃣ Reset Your Environment
4️⃣ Reset Your Core Connection
5️⃣ Reset Your Relationship With Your Body

174- Help! I’m Tight AND Weak — What Do I Actually Do? // My Rehab Approach For Women Who Want to Get Stronger Without Making Things Tighter

Have you ever been told your pelvic floor is weak, so you start doing kegels… but things actually feel worse?
Maybe you feel tight, tense, or guarded, yet you’re still experiencing symptoms like leaking, pelvic pressure, pain, or instability.
You’re not crazy — and your body isn’t broken.
One of the most common patterns pelvic floor physical therapists see is tight AND weak muscles at the same time. When muscles are constantly gripping or guarding, they often become fatigued, poorly coordinated, and unable to generate true strength.
In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down why tightness and weakness often coexist and walks you through the step-by-step rehab process for restoring pelvic floor and core function safely.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you should stretch more, strengthen more, or rest, this episode will help you understand what your body actually needs.
In This Episode You’ll Learn
✔ Why pelvic floor muscles can be tight and weak at the same time ✔ The biggest mistake women make when trying to strengthen their core ✔ Why doing more kegels isn’t always the answer ✔ The step-by-step rehab progression pelvic floor PTs use ✔ How to move from pain and tension → strength and confidence
The Pelvic Floor RESTORE Rehab Roadmap
Healing the pelvic floor isn’t about jumping straight into strengthening.
True recovery follows a sequence:
Release → Restore → Rebuild → Reload
1️⃣ Release Reduce tension and guarding through breathwork, mobility, and nervous system regulation.
2️⃣ Restore Rebuild coordination between the diaphragm, pelvic floor, and core through 360 breathing and gentle activation.
3️⃣ Rebuild Strength Progress into functional strength exercises that integrate the whole body.
4️⃣ Reload Return to higher-impact activities like running, jumping, lifting, and sports safely.
Skipping these steps is one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck in cycles of pain, leaking, or pelvic pressure.
Signs Your Body Is Moving In The Right Direction
As your system heals you may notice:
Less pelvic heaviness or pressure • Improved bladder control • Easier breathing during exercise • Better coordination and stability • Reduced pain and tension
Remember: coordination comes before strength.
 
🌀 Ready to feel stronger, more confident, and in tune with what it needs?

173- Strong Is Not Tight // Why True Core Strength Feels Different

If your core feels tight all the time… that’s not strength.
If you’re constantly sucking in your stomach, clenching your abs, gripping your glutes, or holding your pelvic floor “just in case” — this episode is for you.
So many women have been taught that strength means tension. Brace harder. Squeeze more. Engage constantly. Never relax.
But what if that gripping is actually the reason you still feel weak… leak when you run… or experience pelvic pain?
In this episode, we’re breaking down the difference between true core strength and chronic tension — and why tight does not equal strong.
In This Episode, We Cover:
Why women often confuse tension with strength
The cultural conditioning behind “suck it in” fitness cues
How over-bracing impacts the diaphragm and pelvic floor
The connection between gripping, leaking, and prolapse symptoms
Why a tight pelvic floor can still be dysfunctional
What real, functional strength actually feels like
How breath and pressure management build resilient core stability
Simple ways to stop over-gripping and start building true strength
The Truth About Pelvic Floor & Core Strength
Your pelvic floor is not meant to be clenched all day.
It should contract and relax. Lift and descend. Respond and adapt.
When your body only knows how to grip, it loses its ability to coordinate under real-life load — like running, lifting, jumping, or even laughing.
True strength is:
Breathable
Responsive
Adaptive
Coordinated
Not rigid. Not braced at 100%. Not constantly “on.”
If You’ve Experienced…
Leaking during workouts
Pelvic pressure or heaviness
Pain with intimacy
Constipation
Low back tension
A core that feels tight but unstable
…this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening.
Why This Matters
You can’t build power on top of dysfunction.
Before adding more crunches, heavier weights, or more kegels — your body needs coordination.
That’s exactly what we focus on inside RESTORE, my 12-week pelvic floor and core rebuilding program inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More app.
We start with breath. Rebuild pressure management. Restore true core control. Then layer strength safely and progressively.
Because strong women don’t need to grip harder. They need to move smarter.
If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who thinks tight = strong 💛
And as always — Breathe first. Strength second.

172- From Pain to Pleasure // Tools, Toys & Supportive Strategies for Comfortable Intimacy

If you’ve been following this series on pain with intimacy, you now understand:
✔️ What might be causing your pain ✔️ How mental load and nervous system stress impact arousal ✔️ Why pushing through makes things worse ✔️ Practical rehab strategies to reduce tension
Now let’s talk about something we don’t normalize enough:
Supportive tools.
Because using tools does not mean you’re broken. It means you’re intentional.
In this final episode of the series, we’re discussing the different tools and toys that can reduce pain, improve blood flow, calm guarding, and help you rebuild positive experiences in your body — safely and confidently.
In This Episode, We Cover:
Why tools can help retrain pain pathways
The connection between blood flow, arousal, and pelvic floor relaxation
How graded exposure reduces guarding
Why friction (not failure) is often the problem
The role of pleasure in nervous system regulation
If pain continues, worsens, or feels deeply triggering, it’s time to see a pelvic floor PT.
The Bigger Reframe
Tools are not a crutch. They are bridges.
Bridges between pain and safety. Between guarding and openness. Between survival and pleasure.
Pleasure is not indulgent. It is nervous system medicine.
Want Structured Guidance?
Inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App, there is a FREE Masterclass: From Pain to Pleasure that you can access inside the app here: https://pelvic-floor-core-more.passion.io/ 
Or if you want more guidance join my 12 wk RESTORE program, where we combine:
Breathwork
Nervous system regulation
Mobility and downtraining
Core and pelvic floor coordination
Progressive strengthening
So you’re not guessing which tools to use — or when. (More on what this is and how to join below)
And if your pain is complex, trauma-related, or persistent, 1:1 pelvic floor PT may be your best next step.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
This wraps our Pain with Intimacy series — but healing doesn’t end here.
Your body is not broken. It is layered. And layered healing is possible.

171- Guilt Is Not a Compass // How Guilt Is Silencing Your Body, Your Truth, and Your Healing

Hey Girl,
How many times have you ignored your body because you felt guilty?
Guilty for not working out. Guilty for wanting alone time. Guilty for not being in the mood. Guilty for resting. Guilty for saying no. Guilty for going to girls’ night. Guilty for spending money on yourself.
In this episode, we’re unpacking something that quietly sabotages women’s health more than almost anything else: guilt.
Because guilt doesn’t just live in your mind. It lives in your nervous system. It lives in your breath. It lives in your pelvic floor.
And every time you override your truth to keep the peace, avoid discomfort, or prove your worth — your body absorbs it.
In This Episode, We Explore:
Why guilt is often conditioning — not intuition
How guilt shows up in movement, intimacy, rest, and relationships
The connection between guilt, stress, and pelvic floor tension
Why pushing through pain (in workouts or intercourse) creates more dysfunction
How guilt keeps women stuck in all-or-nothing cycles
The physiological impact of chronic guilt on cortisol, breath, and muscle tone
The difference between guilt and integrity
Practical ways to stop betraying your body in small, daily moments
Every time you override your truth, your body adapts to that pattern.
And over time, that pattern becomes pain. Or leaking. Or pressure. Or disconnection.
Small moments of honesty create safety in your body.
And safety is where healing begins.
How This Connects to RESTORE
Inside RESTORE, we don’t just strengthen your core and pelvic floor.
We:
Retrain your breath
Regulate your nervous system
Address tension patterns
Teach you how to move without overriding your body
Help you rebuild strength from safety — not guilt
Because true strength is not forcing your body to comply. It’s learning how to listen to it.
If you’re ready to stop betraying your body and start healing from integrity, you can learn more about RESTORE inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App.
And if you need deeper, individualized support, 1:1 coaching or pelvic floor PT may be your next step.
Guilt is loud. Truth is quiet. Healing happens when you learn to hear the quiet voice.
