I talk about how the pelvic floor actually works with your core, diaphragm, glutes, and hips as one connected system, and why leaking, heaviness, pain, or weakness postpartum are signs that your body needs better coordination and support, not just more squeezing. I also walk you through the breathing, bracing, glute, and mobility work I start with for postpartum moms in my office, how to reconnect with your deep core after birth, and why progressive strengthening matters for long-term healing. If you’ve ever been told to “just do your kegels” and still don’t feel strong, stable, or supported postpartum, this episode is for you.
