THE BALANCED MOMTALITY- Pelvic Floor/Core Rehab For The Pregnant and Postpartum Mom
Hey Girl! You know those moments that just make life feel so full circle? Well, that's what this episode felt like when I was interviewing my special guest for the show this week! Almost 8 yrs ago, I was just like you, searching instagram and social media for “Pelvic floor Exercises”, “Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy”, “Pregnancy Safe Exercises”, “Prenatal Pelvic Floor” and more! Coming Fresh out of Grad school, pregnant with my second baby and now aware that Pelvic Floor PT exists and that guess what… I didn't need to pee my pants the last 6 years?! So I was motivated to keep my leaking from getting worse during the pregnancy and starting diving more into Pelvic Floor Health. At the time, I knew the “What” and some of the “Why” leaking and other pelvic issues occurred and that they were not normal, but I had yet to learn the “How” to fix it. So after searching for reliable sources on social media (yes they exist but you have to do your research), I found the one and only Vaginal Whisperer, Dr. Sara Reardon. Wearing a Vulva costume and talking about taboo topics like poop and sex, she caught my attention immediately. I started doing some of the exercises she talked about on her page and started to really see a difference and ultimately healed all of my incontinence! She was and is, a trailblazer for Pelvic health and Women's Health in general as she continues to educate, empower and support women all over the world while breaking down cultural barriers. With that being said, I am so thrilled to have Dr. Sara Reardon on the show this week to dive more into her story and how she continues to elevate the standard of care for women in the US and inspire clinicians (like me) to do the same! Dr. Sara Reardon is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals prevent and overcome pelvic floor issues including, urinary leakage, painful sex, prolapse and discomfort during pregnancy, postpartum and menopause. Sara has been featured in Time, Yahoo, Harper's Bazaar, Romper, InStyle, Today, and numerous other podcasts, publications, and professional conferences about her advocacy and educational work as a pelvic floor therapist. She is also a TED presenter on Rethinking Postpartum Care. Sara is the Founder of The V-Hive, an online, on-demand pelvic floor fitness platform for pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, painful sex and pelvic floor strengthening. Sara lives in New Orleans with her husband and two sons. FLOORED: A Complete Guide to Women's Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage is her first book.

In this episode, Dr. Mina dives into a topic many of us struggle with—figuring out what to wear and why it matters. She shares why your confidence isn't about having more clothes, but about having the right ones that truly reflect who you are. From choosing quality over quantity to aligning your look with your identity, this episode is all about using personal style as a tool to feel radiant, grounded, and more like you. So if your closet (or your beauty drawer) is draining your energy instead of fueling your confidence, it's time to reboot. Start small. Get strategic. And most importantly? Be kind to yourself. Key Takeaways: Confidence doesn't come from having more stuff, it comes from having a strategy. Your appearance isn't just aesthetic, it's energetic. Ask yourself how you want to show up in the world. What three words do you want someone to know about you just by looking at you? Capsule wardrobes are better than chaotic ones. Fit really matters in clothing. Let go of items that don't serve you anymore. Radiance is holistic and comes from within. Confidence is your best accessory. Pick one area to declutter and be strategic.

With nearly 20 years of experience, Sara is here to deliver straight talk and science-backed wisdom about what's actually going on down there. Pelvic floor dysfunction is common—but it's not normal. From postpartum issues to painful sex, pee leaks to prolapse, this is your permission slip to stop suffering in silence and start getting the care you deserve. No more brushing it off. No more white-knuckling your way through it. Just informed, empowered choices about your health and your body. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ What your pelvic floor actually is and why it matters ✅ Signs it's not functioning properly (and that you shouldn't ignore) ✅ How to advocate for yourself in a healthcare system that often overlooks women ✅ Why pain, leakage, and shame are NOT normal parts of womanhood This isn't just a health issue—it's a confidence, autonomy, and quality of life issue. Understanding your body is woman's work. Taking care of it unapologetically? Also woman's work.

In this captivating episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee reflects on the upcoming challenge of addressing a unique audience at a fifth-grade graduation. This introspective journey into crafting a memorable speech for young minds leads Baylor to explore universal life themes—principles of success—which apply across different domains of life. His insightful examination offers listeners valuable lessons on leveraging existing strengths to enhance various areas of their lives. The episode delves into the interconnectedness of life disciplines, suggesting that the same dedication driving financial stability can be harnessed for personal health and relationships. Baylor encourages listeners to identify and translate their successful habits from one life domain to others. By fostering disciplines such as goal-setting and consistency, he argues, one can achieve holistic success. Additionally, Baylor emphasizes the value of simplicity in understanding and teaching core competencies, aligning with the concept that profound understanding allows for comprehensive yet straightforward explanations. Key Takeaways: Interconnected Success: Understand that the same discipline applied in one successful area of your life can translate to others. Simplicity is Key: If an idea or process can be sketched simply, like on a napkin, it's often more effective and easily understood. Lifecycle Learning: Engage in continuous learning by teaching and learning from people both younger and older than you. Embrace Expertise: Everyone has a unique skill set or strength; identifying and articulating it can boost confidence and direction. Universal Principles: Success principles are often universal and applicable across different areas of life; leverage what works for you. Notable Quotes: "The themes of life are universal, whatever works in one area will work in others." "You should be able to explain your craft to a kindergartener if you truly understand it." "Learn from someone older and teach someone younger—this is the complete circle of life." "You're closer to hitting your goals than you think if you'll just acknowledge the connectivity in your life." "The best way to assert expertise is to simplify and explain it to someone who hasn't understood it yet."

I am honored to connect with Dr. Aly Cohen today. She is a board-certified rheumatologist, an integrative medicine physician, and one of the country's leading medical and legal experts in environmental health. We began our conversation today exploring the role of federal agencies, including the EPA and FDA, in regulating environmental toxins and their impact on public safety. Dr. Cohen discusses her rheumatology training and explains how our environments affect our immune systems, clarifying why tap water is problematic, how water treatment plants fail to filter out most contaminants, and how pregnancy, childhood, teen years, perimenopause, and menopause are critical stages for toxin exposure. She reveals how many of the laws for processed foods are outdated and ineffective, and how the concept of GRAS (generally regarded as safe) has no real value, and also dives into changes in nutritional value and soil quality, how medications impact our gut microbiome and disease susceptibility, why iodine is essential for detoxifying the lymphatic and glymphatic systems, and how noise pollution affects our health. This conversation with Dr. Aly Cohen is invaluable, and her book, resources, and works are particularly significant for this community. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How the gaps in federal protections outweigh the measures currently in place The cumulative effects of toxin exposure on the immune system, particularly for women in perimenopause and menopause Why tap water is unsafe for drinking Why reverse osmosis filtration is the best option Why young people should learn about toxin exposure before becoming pregnant How estrogen loss during menopause impacts the immune system The poor nutritional value of processed foods and the lack of effective regulation surrounding them How medications affect the gut microbiome and immune function The benefits of iodine for detoxification and thyroid health Why noise pollution is problematic for our mental health Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Aly Cohen On her website TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn Dr. Cohen's new book, Detoxify, is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and from most local booksellers.

They go through so much in pregnancy and birth, and to be honest, we don't talk about them enough OR give them the TLC they deserve.

In this powerful conversation on body image issues from a Christian perspective, we explore how the struggle with self-worth and comparison doesn’t fade with age. Our guest shares her personal story of battling negative body image from childhood through adulthood—including how diet culture, marriage, and aging shaped her views. Through faith, she found healing and freedom from the pressure to meet unrealistic societal beauty standards. We discuss the spiritual impact of body image idolatry, the importance of focusing on inner beauty and God-given purpose, and how surrendering these struggles to God can lead to lasting peace. If you’re a woman navigating Christian faith, self-esteem, or body confidence, this episode will speak directly to your heart. Key Takeaways: • Early comparison led to lifelong body image struggles • Dieting created unhealthy eating habits and mental stress • Marriage didn’t “fix” her insecurities—it intensified them • Recognizing body image as idolatry was a breakthrough • Aging offers a chance to redefine beauty and self-worth • Society pressures women to look a certain way—but God calls us to more • Healing begins with surrendering to God’s truth • Community and support are key to overcoming comparison
Visit us at shapedbydog.com How long should it take to train my dog? That's a popular question I get, so I'm covering how to set realistic expectations for every age and stage of a dog's life. Dogs are lifelong learners and learn with all their senses, so we're looking at how to create success with intention rather than letting things around your dog train them, so you can avoid the frustration of needing to untrain anything. In this episode, you'll hear: • Why age and stage play such an important role in dog training success. • Why dogs are lifelong learners and how that affects your training expectations. • What the "honeymoon period" is in dog training. • What to do when the honeymoon phase ends and distractions become a challenge. • How to handle the 8-18 month phase when hormones take over. • Why dogs can't learn “don't,” only what we want them to do. • How the first 8 months of a puppy's life are the bulk of the training work. • Why ongoing maintenance of your dog's education is crucial for long-term success.
