In this passionate and unfiltered conversation, Surabhi Veitch is joined by pelvic health physical therapist, sexuality educator and counselor Dr. Uchenna Ossai, also known as Dr. UC.

Today I speak with Surabhi Veitch, the owner of The Passionate Physio, a Registered Physiotherapist, a Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach, and a mom to 2 incredible humans. Surabhi is passionate about breaking the status quo on what it means to be a mom. She believes that motherhood doesn't have to mean sacrificing who you are.

The world of "bouncing back" after having a baby puts an overwhelming amount of pressure on new moms to prioritize their physical appearance and "get their pre-baby body back" as quickly as possible.  The effects of this pressure can be disastrous and toxic for new moms on so many levels.In this episode of the My Sleeping Baby podcast, I'm having an honest and candid conversation with Surabhi Veitch, Registered Physiotherapist and Postpartum Fitness Coach all about why the bounce back culture is so problematic and unhealthy.  Have a listen!You can follow Surabhi:Website: https://www.thepassionatephysio.ca/Podcast: https://www.thepassionatephysio.ca/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepassionatephysio/Free Guide: Optimize Postpartum Recovery: https://www.thepassionatephysio.ca/freebie-optimize-postpartum-recoveryPostpartum Return to Exercise Program (PREP) starting Sept 13: https://www.thepassionatephysio.ca/prepWant to get your little one consistently sleeping 11-12 hours at night so you can be a functioning human?  Join my FREE training HERE: https://mysleepingbaby.ac-page.com/registration-page-v-2

My guest today is physiotherapist and post partum expert Surabhi Veitch.I'm so grateful to have Surabhi here to share so much knowledge and support for woman in all stages of postpartum life. As someone who really struggled after having a baby, the conversation we have today is invaluable.We break down some of the huge misconceptions around how someone's body looks vs. how they feel, why strength training is way more important than Kegels and why we need to create more long term post partum support for moms.There's so much pressure for moms to “bounce” back and lose weight after a baby and we discuss how harmful this is to the recovery process and why it needs to be about moving forward not “bouncing back.”Our conversation is about much more than post partum-my son is 10 years old and I really resonated with what Surabhi shared in terms of approachable, sustainable fitness, thinking long term instead of short term and cultivating a more positive body image as a mom.Connect with SurabhiInstagramWebsiteConnect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my Monday newsletter with lots of nutrition, exercise and mindset tipsLearn more about 1:1 coaching on my website
