120- Back to You: How to Prioritize Your Pelvic Floor Healing as the Kids Go Back to School

It’s officially back-to-school season — and if your calendar is already filling up with snacks, soccer, drop-offs and appointments… this episode is your reminder:
✨ You still get to be a priority. ✨ Your healing doesn’t have to wait. ✨ You’re allowed to take up space on your own calendar.
In this episode, Dr. Desiree shares a soul-nourishing (but practical) roadmap for creating nervous-system-safe structure this fall — and why getting “organized” doesn’t just help your time, it helps your core + pelvic floor heal more effectively. You’ll walk away with easy, low-effort ways to weave regulation, rest, and reconnection into your daily routines — even if life is hectic.
Inside this episode:
Why fall routines often reactivate symptoms for moms
The deep link between scheduling stress and pelvic floor pain or leaking
How dysregulation leads to setbacks in your healing journey
Why your nervous system needs structure to feel safe enough to release
Quick micro-routines to support your body while staying productive
A heartfelt reminder that prioritizing your health is not selfish — it’s strategic
This is for you if:
You’re navigating postpartum recovery or stress while juggling kids' schedules
You feel like you’re falling to the bottom of your own priority list
You want to support your healing without adding more to your to-do list
You’re ready to feel strong, present, and regulated again this season

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
Keywords: nervous system healing, choosing yourself, self-trust, pelvic floor support, healing while busy, RESTORE program, somatic healing, embodiment

112- The Hidden Habits Making Postpartum Healing Harder// Why Doing "Nothing" Before 6 wks Postpartum Is a Bad Idea

In today’s episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, we’re diving into the sneaky, normalized postpartum patterns that silently sabotage healing — and no, I’m not talking about exercise.
From holding your breath while lifting the car seat to collapsing into your core while feeding your baby, these everyday habits are creating pressure, disconnection, and pain in your pelvic floor and core system.
We’ll unpack:
What’s really causing your symptoms to linger (even when you’re trying to heal)
How breath, posture, and nervous system regulation play a bigger role than crunches ever could
Small, doable shifts that make a huge impact in your daily healing
And if you’ve been told “this is just how it is after baby,” this is your permission slip to say no more.
You’ll learn: ✨ The 5 most common habits that stall postpartum healing ✨ How to stop unintentionally making your symptoms worse ✨ What your body is trying to tell you — and how to listen gently ✨ Real-life tools for breathing, softening, and creating safety in your core

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
