Have you accepted postpartum pain, leaking and discomfort as a normal part of motherhood? For so many postpartum people, pelvic floor dysfunction negatively impacts quality of life, intimacy, and self-esteem. But when common symptoms are presented to providers, they are often met with a shoulder shrug and told this is the new normal. Friend, it doesn't have to be. Today on the Beyond Birth Podcast, Kelley Burke, LMT and pelvic floor therapist, dispels myths around postpartum pelvic floor care, provides insight into a realistic recovery timeline, and offers a refreshing perspective that symptoms of postpartum pain do not need to be your new normal.

Liz and Jenny sit down today for a catch up episode: discussing Cribsheet by Emily Oster, talking body parts with toddlers, finding happiness, and taking responsibility for your journey. In this episode: Can you be happy and yet not content at the same time? Is that not being in the moment? Is that not practicing gratitude? Sweet toddler Edith is very informed on her anatomy and is proud to be on Team Vulva with her mama and the rest of the women in this wide world! Liz celebrates the beautiful, personal care she is receiving from her birth team. It *can* be this good! And how a doula who knows you personally can help you get a little bit better support. Find your best team and take charge of your journey. We finally get around to reviewing Cribsheet by Emily Oster. Emily takes a data-driven approach to the questions parents have in their child’s first two years of life. Straight data without judgement is a refreshing change from the piles of “you should do this or shouldn’t do that” parenting advice books available to us all. While her research and explanations are impeccable, her summarized suggestions miss the mark when it comes to nuanced experiences and the many, many variables that exist in postpartum. As a reference book, and a starting point for great conversations, this is a gem.

Welcome to the Beyond the Birth Podcast. Co-hosted each week by Liz Winters (Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, certified pre and post-natal coach, and mama) and Jenny Anderson (doula, Birthfit Regional Director, certified yoga instructor, and mama). Our hope is to inspire, educate, and empower women as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood with evidence based guidance, informative interviews, and entertaining anecdotes from our perspectives as moms, entrepreneurs, and birth professionals. About Kira Kira Rodenbush is a Licensed Massage Therapist and graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts. She has extensive experience with prenatal and postpartum massage, as well as grief and trauma support through massage. Kira believes in providing her clients with the space to disconnect from the internal chatter and slip into that zone where they can acknowledge the body’s inherent intelligence and desire for wellness. Using a blend of techniques woven into a Swedish massage that’s as firm as it is gentle, Kira looks forward to meeting each client exactly where they are and engaging the body in the wonderful conversation that is therapeutic massage. Kira speaks the Truth: Handle what’s in your hands. Whatever solutions we are seeking are in the room with us, but it may not be the one you keep trying. Put the Christmas lights on the laundry pile. Speed cleaning videos are very empowering! Parent your inner child like you would any of your other children. Reframe your household mess as evidence of life happening and people l i v i n g. Think about what nourishes you and give yourself permission to pursue it. Topics Discussed in this Episode Why being a massage therapist is great for making friends (who doesn’t want a massage therapist as a friend??) and maybe more importantly ... making an impact and getting your healing hands on people faster than medical school. Massage is for everyone but is so precious to new parents and people grieving a loss. Create a spa experience of peace and serenity in your small moments of life through breath and gratitude. (Did you know breath is proven to help your your body come out of sympathetic and into para-sympathetic balance?) Self-care does not have to be another to do list: it can be spontaneous, small, and simple. Find people who are not trying to force their method on you but are holding space for you to find your own method. There is a magic postpartum massage window 18-36 hours postpartum before milk has come in when a mom can lay on her stomach. Massage postpartum after pregnancy loss is genuinely different for every parent: touch may or may not feel good, letting people in to your space may not feel good. There are people out there who specialize in this specific support.

We grow, ache, laugh, grieve, and love our way through it all. Liz’s summer was capped off with the completion of her latest project: Postpartum Plan for Loss Moms. It is the only plan out there for moms who have experienced a loss. It will be released in one week! Grab your drink of choice and join us for a bit of a catch up.

Welcome to the Beyond the Birth Podcast. Co-hosted each week by Liz Winters (Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, certified pre and post-natal coach, and mama) and Jenny Anderson (doula, Birthfit Regional Director, certified yoga instructor, and mama). Our hope is to inspire, educate, and empower women as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood with evidence based guidance, informative interviews, and entertaining anecdotes from our perspectives as moms, entrepreneurs, and birth professionals. In this week’s catch up episode we touch base on Jenny’s last two births which happened over the weekend. Both births went fairly close to mom’s “birth plan”, but how much does a doula let personal experience influence their role or how they direct the birth pattern (if at all). We highlight the importance of clearly communicating your goals to your birth support/information team. By empowering our partners and possibly even mothers and mothers-in-law, their role is better defined (we love healthy boundaries!) and their voices are more informed and stronger. Start with your why. You can answer a lot of your other questions (about birth, parenting, career, marriage) if you first answer your “why”. Both Liz and Jenny are treating hypothyroidism and considering multiple alternative treatment methods in addition to medication. Liz is doing yoga! How does a Crossfit coach find a rhythm that balances intensity and peace on the mat? A new pregnancy happens, and goes, with emotional highs and lows for mom. As a mom of a toddler how do we find our way discussing deep feelings and expressing emotions with toddlers. Plus - we announce our next book club book!

Today we are reviewing our first Beyond Birth Book Club selection: Period Repair Manual by Dr. Lara Briden.

It contains advice and tips for every age and situation.” This fantastic book can be used for anyone as an information resource for personal use and/or client support, trouble-shooting specific period issues, and understanding the hormones behind a menstrual cycle (which is so fascinating and wonderfully laid out). The book is full of information about the benefits and risks of the various forms of birth control. It also provides a section with questions to ask your healthcare provider that is pure GOLD. This is all part of the period revolution. “Wherever your progesterone is at, you probably want more of it.” – Lara Briden Recommended for anyone who has a period and even those who don’t!
