All the hype around baby showers, sprinkles, and 'visiting' new moms is a bunch of BS. There is so much focus on the new baby, and SO much money spent, and no one is taking good enough care of mom and offering to help fund the services she really needs. In this episode we push back against traditional showers, and help soon-to-be moms (and the organizers of showers for soon-to-be moms) prioritize what will actually help support them in their postpartum journey. Be sure to share this episode with an expecting mom, or even that family member who has only ever gifted monogrammed blankets.

Pelvic organ prolapse is something many women struggle with. Understandably, it can be scary, confusing, and bring on a lot of fear around exercise and activities of daily living. If you are struggling with POP, this episode aims to give you the education you need to know that you can feel like yourself again!

This week is part 2 of our guest episode series with local water safety expert Jenna Porcelli! This week she explains exactly what ISR is, why the method caters to the way children learn best, and what the commitment looks like for parents.

Krista and Jenn both have children who are ISR grads, and we also both have experience with traditional swim lessons. If you aren't sure where to start with swim lessons for your child, but you know you need to do something, the info Jenna shares will help you decide what is the best fit for your family and what to look for in quality lessons, even if you don't choose ISR!

We are thrilled to welcome our first guest to the Moms In Motion Podcast, Jenna Porcelli! Jenna is an ISR instructor and local swim safety expert. Since all parents are concerned about preparing themselves, their backyards, and their children for swimming this time of year, we wanted to support you in this effort by having Jenna join us!

No matter if your child(ren) are just babies, comfortable or uncomfortable in the water, or skilled swimmers, there are still so many great tips and takeaways in this episode that no parent can afford to miss as we head into Summer!

When pelvic floor issues arise, you can bet there are plenty of 'devices' available that target the motherhood population during the most vulnerable times. The promises to resolve these issues for busy moms who are desperate for help cost money, time, and do not get the long term (not to mention functional) results moms need to live the life they want.

Diastasis Recti can be a scary topic! With all the bad info floating around, it's no wonder this condition can bring on a lot of fear.

We are here today to assure you that having a diastasis is not the worst thing that can happen to you, and that it is actually a very normal part of pregnancy. In this episode, we will bust the common myths, help you let go of the fear around it, and tell you how to go about rebuilding your core so you can do any exercise you enjoy and feel good about it.

We are celebrating our 20th episode! 20 went by so fast and we have no plans to stop delivering you information and advice you need to thrive as a mom.

We are starting with some life updates including a big announcement! Motherhood is always a wild ride and we can't wait to take you on this upcoming journey with us.

Moms - if you've ever seen an orthopedic PT or personal trainer that doesn't specialize in pregnancy, postpartum and pelvic floor needs and you didn't get everything you need out of it... listen up! More visits, more copays, or heavier weights isn't the answer - a provider who specializes on your exact needs as a mom, is!

If you experience painful intercourse, you are not alone! What you might be surprised to learn is that understanding how to improve your pelvic floor function can lead to greater satisfaction in the bedroom.

Have you ever beat yourself up for not doing your Kegels? Did you know that doing kegels may not help solve whatever pelvic floor problems you are experiencing AND can sometimes make them worse? Before you do more kegels, listen to this episode! 

Today, we are talking all things habits, and how (and how not) to actually make change happen. Habits can lead to pain, tension, discomfort and symptoms, but also can lead to improved posture, strength, endurance, and helping you feel amazing! You just have to be moving yourself in the right direction!

Today, we are talking all things c-sections! There is so much that goes into the physical and emotional recovery of a birth already, and c-sections (especially if they are unplanned) can throw moms for a whole different loop. When the average mom has a c-section, there is usually so much that goes unknown about the delivery, the initial recovery, and how having a c-section can still affect the pelvic floor muscles, not to mention the function of other body parts, longer term.

In today’s episode we are clueing you in on 8 different things you might be doing that are wrecking havoc on your pelvic floor muscles. Most women (so probably you) have no idea that their daily habits are negatively affecting pelvic floor function so significantly!

Today, we are talking about progressing your fitness! We both work so hard on this with clients and patients because mom life requires strength and stability to be able to take care of your family pain and symptom free, so appropriate progression is a must!

If you are interested in knowing a little bit more about the work we do behind the scenes and why we have made certain decisions for our businesses, this episode is for you! If you have more questions about the topics we discuss or want to hear more episodes like this one, be sure to let us know!

Today, we are taking all things productivity! It's a tough concept to wrap your head around as a mom, because every day there are so many things trying to derail your efforts! We get it, and we have the same struggles.

We have a few ideas to help you better prioritize and stay on task, and also help you decide what needs to stay and what can just go! We are positive that implementing even just one of these ideas will help you feel like you are crushing the week, instead of the week crushing you. Let us know if anything helps you right the ship this week!

You probably think you know everything you need to about keeping your vaginal area clean, but just like our last episode about constipation, you can probably learn a thing or two about how to do it better!

In today's super short episode, we will discuss the habits you need to put into practice, as well as the products you DO NOT need to keep everything in check down there. Just because you own these body parts doesn't mean you automatically know how to best care for them!

Here's the thing about poop... it's a fact of life, the ability to do it (easily) can make or break how you feel and function, and still there isn't enough conversation around it! So, today we are excited to educate you on all things poop!

Find out if you could be constipated (yes even if you go daily you can be), how it can play into your other pelvic floor issues, and what you can do about it immediately. We promise you will learn a ton from this episode, so be sure to share!

Happy New Year! Today we are talking about what we will be working on, professionally and personally, in the New Year... some mindset shifting, and what goals we absolutely will NOT be setting! We hope this helps you think about some small changes you want to make this year to help you better take care of yourself so you can take care of everyone else, better. Need some new boundaries? Some new habits? Or maybe you need to ditch a habit or two that is no longer serving you. Take a listen to what we will be doing in the New Year, and we'd love to hear what you will be working on in 2024 so please DM us or email us and share!

Merry Christmas! On today’s episode we go through our holiday traditions, as well as some mom hacks that we’ve discovered over the years. It’s a great listen while you are out going for a walk to escape the in-laws!
