113- Choosing yourself Inside the Chaos of Postpartum and Motherhood

In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get enough space in healing conversations:
✨ What it really means to choose yourself — in the middle of the mess. Motherhood, healing, and life can feel like a swirl of demands. And in that chaos, so many women lose the one thing that keeps them grounded — their own voice, needs, and nervous system.
If you’ve ever felt like there’s no space for you… this is the episode that gives you space back.
You’ll Learn: 🌿 What “choosing yourself” really means beyond bubble baths and checklists 🌿 How to know if you’re stuck in self-abandonment or override 🌿 Simple nervous system tools to reconnect with your body daily 🌿 How to build small rituals of self-honoring, even when everything feels loud 🌿 Why healing doesn’t require perfect stillness — just presence
Healing isn’t about waiting for a quiet moment — it’s about learning to choose yourself even in the mess. This episode is your reminder that you don’t need a perfect schedule, the right mindset, or to feel “ready” to begin healing. You just need to say yes — to you.
Inside this vulnerable, fire-filled episode, I share:
Why so many women delay healing — and how it shows up in the body
The subtle ways you’re already choosing everyone else over your own well-being
How to build self-trust again, one breath at a time
A few small ways to claim your healing today (Body Check, breathwork, guided app tools)
What happens when you stop waiting and start restoring

111- What to Do When You Feel Disconnected from Your Body// Why This Is Crucial For Healing Your Core

Summary: Let’s talk about that quiet ache you can’t put into words — the one where you feel off, shut down, or numb. That feeling of being disconnected from your body? It’s more common than you think… and it's 100% healable.
In this episode, I walk you through how disconnection happens — and how to begin the sacred work of reconnection. This isn’t about perfect movement or pushing through. It’s about breath, awareness, softness, and choosing yourself again.
What You’ll Learn:
How trauma, stress, and life can disconnect us from our bodies
What disconnection can look and feel like (and why it’s not your fault)
Why the nervous system is the key to restoring connection
Tools to start reconnecting gently: the Body Check, mirror work, breath in child’s pose
How RESTORE + Empowered Core guide you back home to your body

110- Is Your Core Helping Or Hurting You// What It Means to Have a Strong Core

Summary:
Let’s talk about the part of your body that’s holding more than just your organs — your core is your emotional center, your nervous system translator, and your power source. But is yours actually supporting you… or silently sabotaging your healing?
In this episode, I break down:
The difference between a braced, reactive core and a functional, responsive one
Why gripping, leaking, pressure, or pain are signs your core is protecting, not failing
The role of breath, boundaries, and softness in true core rehab
How to know if your system is compensating — and what to do about it
The pathway inside RESTORE to rewire your body for safety + strength

109- The Body Check// A Sacred Scan For Realignment and Connection

Your body talks. The question is — do you know how to listen? In this episode, I teach you the #1 practice I give every client: the Body Check — a quick daily scan to reconnect with your posture, breath, and tension patterns so you can begin healing from the inside out.
This isn’t a fix — it’s a foundation. Learn how to use your own awareness to unwind leaking, pain, and disconnection, and why softening is just as powerful as strengthening.
What You’ll Learn:
How to do the 3-part Body Check and why it matters
How posture, breath and tension influence leaking and pelvic pain
Why this tool is more effective than most “core exercises”
How to use your awareness to start feeling safe again
Where to go next for full-body healing inside my app or programs
