Mamas, you don't want to miss this one.In this week's episode, motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch are chatting about one woman's real-life experience with trying to get pelvic floor help after giving birth. While telling this story, Dr. Marcy discusses a common theme she sees in her practice: women who are brushed off over and over when trying to seek help with their pelvic floor following delivery. Well-meaning medical providers are simply not versed in women's pelvic floor conditions, which sadly leaves many women uncomfortable and left in pain because they are led to believe there isn't much to do. In this episode, you'll hear about one of Dr. Marcy's patients and her emotional experience with giving birth, symptoms she began noticing while she was postpartum, and why it was so difficult for her to finally be seen by a pelvic floor PT.Be sure to join us every Wednesday for new episodes of No Mama Left Behind.

In this week's episode, motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch are discussing Alyson's reaction to reading the book, “Bringing up Bebe” by Pamela Druckerman and the differences between American and French parenting styles.According to the book, one of the main takeaways is that children (in France) exist in the parent's world, as opposed to the parents' world revolving around the kids.Alyson and Marcy discuss how this relates to American moms, the childcare crisis we find ourselves in, and the loss of identity many American mothers face after giving birth.Listen up, mamas.

“After this week, things will start to settle down…” What other lies do we tell ourselves? Yeesh.In this week's episode, motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch are NOT discussing any one thing in particular. In fact, they are chatting about ALL the things that just build up over time until we, as moms, feel like we're going to self-destruct at any moment. The biggest takeaway from this episode is learning what things you can choose to take off of your plate so that you can be the best version of yourself. You have to put your mask on first, mama, before you can help others.For Alyson, that means hitting the pause button on social media. We all know moms are superheroes and we're capable of doing anything, which can be really difficult to admit when you need a break. But, we're here to tell you that you DO deserve the break and you don't need to justify it with reasons other than you just need one.Be sure to join us every Wednesday for new episodes of No Mama Left Behind.

Who mothers us moms? Is it our partner? Our own mother who lives out-of-state? What does it even mean to ‘Mother the Mother'?In this week's episode motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch,  do a deep dive into what it means to ‘Mother the Mother', and the answer isn't all that simple.For many women, especially those who are estranged from their mother, who have lost their mom, or whose mother doesn't live within close proximity of them, it is really difficult or borderline impossible to have our own needs met in the same way we mother our children. Is it our responsibility? Does that add to the already long list of the invisible load we carry? Or, is it our partner's job to mother us? Dr. Marcy and Alyson share glimpses into their relationships with their partners and emotional needs during trying times as they try to come up with the answer to, “who the f**k is taking care of us??”Be sure to join us every Wednesday for new episodes of No Mama Left Behind.

All I want for Christmas is…A balanced holiday load. Right, mamas? In a 2006 study by the American Psychological Association it was found that “holiday stress has a particular impact on women, who take charge of many of the holiday celebrations, particularly the tasks related to preparing meals and decorating the home.” While the research in this particular article was done 15+ years ago, the findings still ring true today.In this week's episode, women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch and motherhood wellness and mental health expert Alyson Hempsey discuss some ways in which we can balance the load of the holidays with our partners. Do you find that you take on most of the responsibilities around the holidays?

In this week's episode, women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch does a deep dive into how our pelvic floor supports us during pregnancy. And, since Alyson Hempsey is now in her third trimester, she spares no details when it comes to everything you need to know about pelvic floor health!There are a few different functions of our pelvic floor, but one of the main ones is to support us (that's why we refer to it as the“floor of the core”).  When we add on a pregnancy, the weight of the baby, a placenta, increase of body mass, fluid and blood volume, the load and demand on the group of muscles that make up our pelvic floor grows exponentially over the course of 9 months. This is when common concerns like leaking and prolapse come up (and remember, common does not mean normal).If you are pregnant, plan to be, are recently postpartum, or are experiencing any pelvic floor issues, you do not want to miss out on this week's episode!Selected Links:Marcy's Top 3 Tips for PregnancyPelvic Organ Prolapse and LeakingOur Sponsors and Affiliates:Shop Shine Cosmetics and save 10% off your order with the code NMLB.Check out Mixhers -All-natural remedies made by women for women to help with periods, libido, PMS, anxiousness, sleep, & more.

When it comes to parenting, have you ever thought about ways you can do things differently than your own parents might have? We definitely have, and in this week's episode you get a front row seat into our childhood upbringings and how we are trying to shift the generational cycles as we parent our own kids.Motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey gives us the definition of generational cycles (and generational trauma) and talks about how the ways we were treated as children manifest into our own parenting techniques decades later. Women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch shares some memories she has of her own childhood and how they have shaped her as a mom.In this episode we learn that two of the biggest ways generational cycles are perpetuated are through avoidance and overcompensation (ie. avoiding conflict or not talking about strong feelings), and Alyson shares with us some tools we can use to reflect on our motherhood journeys as we work to break these cycles.Breaking generational cycles involves shifting our own behavioral responses and communication styles. So, how do we break the cycle? Well, you're going to have to tune in to find out.Selected Links:Dividing Roles in the Household with Eve RodskyCommunicating with Yourself and Your Children with Early Childhood Expert Alyssa Blask-CampbellOur Sponsors and Affiliates:Shop Shine Cosmetics and save 10% off your order with the code NMLB.Check out Mixhers -All-natural remedies made by women for women to help with periods, libido, PMS, anxiousness, sleep, & more.

But, what exactly does that even mean? What are some of the increased risks associated with pregnancy and women over the age of 35. Does your prenatal care have to change, and if so, how? Marcy shares her own experience as a woman of advanced maternal age when she was pregnant at 35, and Alyson explains how the idea that “the clock is ticking” can affect a woman's mental health.Did you know that pregnant women over the age of 35 are considered “geriatric”?

In today's episode, motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey does a deep dive into the term, “The Great Resignation” along with women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch. Together they talk about what the term means and how it has specifically affected mothers across the United States.A total of 48 million people quit their jobs in 2021 according to EdSmart. For mothers especially, balancing work and raising children has always been difficult; however, the pandemic brought it to new heights and presented a whole new set of complexities. In this episode, we talk about the various reasons why mothers left the workforce, including lack of child care, managing work from home, and limited employer support. Let's face it, simply being a mom is a full-time job, and if the pandemic taught us anything it's that mothers are essential.The fact of the matter is, there needs to be better options to support working moms if we want to continue to see them in the workplace.

Women's health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch has the “pelvic floor” (get it?), along with motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey, as she does a deep dive into all things endometriosis and how this condition can affect your pelvic floor and fertility.Endometriosis is often very painful. This disorder is caused when tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus (the endometrium) grows outside of your uterus. With endometriosis, the endometrial-like tissue acts like it's supposed to– it thickens, breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. But, because this tissue has no way to exit your body, it becomes trapped.This can sometimes cause severe pain, especially during menstrual periods. And sadly, fertility problems may also develop.You'll learn everything you need to know, including some of the not-so-common symptoms of this condition, when you tune in! Selected Links From the Episode:Want to know more about endometriosis?

In today's episode, pelvic floor and women's health expert Dr. Marcy Crouch and motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey talking all about our Inner Child — we all have one, and today Alyson is sharing all about what it means, and how it relates to our own children, their behavior, and our parenting.When our children express an emotion, we often assign a meaning to it based on our own childhood. What happened when you said you didn't like something being served for dinner, or when you “whined” because you were disappointed? Can you think about behaviors your children have that are most triggering for you? Chances are…it's because you were not treated the way you needed to be when YOU were a child with those same behaviors.You don't want to miss this one!Selected Links From the Episode:Check out our episode How Not to Lose Your Sh*t When Your Kid is Losing TheirsOur Sponsors and Affiliates:Shop Shine Cosmetics and save 10% off your order with the code NMLB.Check out Mixhers -All-natural remedies made by women for women to help with periods, libido, PMS, anxiousness, sleep, & more.

Join us, motherhood and mental health expert Alyson Hempsey and pelvic floor physical therapist and women's health expert Dr. Marcy Crouch this week as we host an amazing guest: Brandi Jordan from Dear Doula Podcast. Brandi is here to share with us everything you need to know about doulas, from the history of doulas, what they do to support birthing and postpartum persons, and how to find the right one for you.Brandi gives it to us straight: whatever you *think* you know about doulas, probably isn't true. They aren't all potions and crystals (though, some totally are, if you're into that). The fact of the matter is: doulas are there to support YOU. Not the baby, not the doctor, YOU, the birthing person, and whatever it is that you need. They are not medical professionals (like a midwife), but, they ARE extremely educated and trained on supporting a birthing person's needs. From helping you get into comfortable positions during labor, to advocating for your wishes during the labor process, to even being a postpartum support person in the weeks after giving birth. And yes, you can totally use a doula if you have a c-section.If you have ever wondered about what a doula is, and how they help you during pregnancy, birth, and beyond, then definitely check out this episode! Connect with Brandi:Check out Brandi's Podcast, Dear Doula, to learn more about how a doula can best support you.Our Sponsors and Affiliates:SRC Health: Medical compression wear for every stage of a woman's journey.

This week, motherhood and mental health expert Alyson Hempsey and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch sit down with a very special guest, Cory Ruth, who you may know as @thewomensdietician on Instagram. Cory is a registered dietician and women's health expert who works specifically with women to help them better understand the powerful connection between the female body systems and optimal health. Cory struggled for what seemed like forever with irregular periods, anovulatory cycles, and ridiculous weight gain even though she spent the majority of her time focusing on “healthy eating” and “exercising.” Then, she received her PCOS diagnosis. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of female infertility, affecting as many of 5 million women world-wide. Since her diagnosis, Cory has dedicated her career to educating and empowering women to take back control of their health, weight, and vitality to finally become the BOSS of their PCOS.If you have PCOS, we would love to hear your story.

Women's health expert Dr. Marcy Crouch has the “pelvic floor” once again in this episode as she and motherhood and mental health expert Alyson Hempsey talk about everything you need to know about protecting your pelvic floor while baby wearing. Alyson shares about the mental pressure she felt to baby wear her daughter, and why it's okay if baby wearing isn't for you (remember, Mama, you have to protect your mental health, too). Dr. Marcy discusses how to properly baby wear, and shares which baby carriers she recommends the most from a pelvic floor therapist's perspective.Looking for a baby carrier?

In today's episode, pelvic floor and women's health expert Dr. Marcy Crouch and motherhood and mental health expert Alyson Hempsey talk with author Angela Garbes about the inspiration for her first book, Like a Mother, where Angela explores some of  the questions we have all probably asked ourselves, too: What is the placenta? How do we go into labor? Why is breast best?Like a Mother explores the science behind these questions, among others, that women have regarding everything from pregnancy loss, to complicated labors to postpartum changes, and why women deserve access to better care, support, and information. This was a fascinating, and eye opening, discussion on exactly what it means to mother, and how important the work of mothering is to society, something we are all well aware of in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.See you on the other side!Connect with Angela GarbesWebsite | Instagram | Twitter | Publisher Selected Links From the Episode:“What Working Parents Really Need from Workplaces” TED TalkEssential Labor by Angela GarbesIf you would like to learn more about maternal mental health, navigating matrescence, and learn how to reclaim your identity in motherhood, Alyson's SOULtime guide is for you!Want more support, Mama?-Sign up for Early Access to Dr. Marcy's Postpartum courses- Use code "NMLB" for $5 off Alyson's SOULtime guide hereConnect With Us: We love to hear from you!
