We break down what actually matters when it comes to healing your core and pelvic floor, and why more exercises or more kegels are not always the solution. This conversation will help you better understand your body, recognize what is normal versus what needs support, and feel more confident navigating postpartum recovery at any stage. Whether you are pregnant or newly postpartum, this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and practical takeaways you can apply right away.
