Our latest episode in the Birth Journeys podcast, part of the Pearls of Wisdom series, does just that by unwrapping the wisdom shared by mothers who've navigated the unpredictable, often challenging experiences of childbirth. We promise to equip you with not only practical tips on managing societal pressures and preconceived notions about natural birth, akin to preparing for a marathon, but also to highlight the significance of staying flexible with your birth plans and the supportive role of tools like epidurals.In candid conversations, we're joined by guests Emily Finnell, Natalie Davis, Stefanie Fernandes, and Alex Wachelka, who lay bare the emotional and psychological transitions they experienced during pregnancy and postpartum life. Their stories reveal the power of trusting one's instincts, embracing vulnerability, and overcoming the unrealistic expectations placed upon new mothers. You'll hear about the importance of self-belief, asking for help, and how these insights can serve as a comforting guide through the complexities of early motherhood, offering reassurance that you are not alone in this journey.As we navigate the early days of parenthood, Jenna Hodge, Amy Suzanne, and Marie Carle share invaluable lessons on self-compassion and balance. Their wisdom sheds light on life's temporary seasons, reminding us to focus on manageable aspects, trust the unfolding path, and cherish fleeting moments with our young ones. From the importance of rest to listening to our instincts, these conversations emphasize the beauty of imperfection in parenting and inspire confidence in trusting our inner voices throughout the adventure of raising children. Join us for a heartfelt exploration of motherhood's challenges and triumphs, as we learn to embrace the journey with courage and grace with additional wisdom from Neri Life Choma, Wendy Powell, Steph Sellen, Devin Garcia, Elise Nicole Kirkpatrick, Brigette Panetta, Maja Miller, Dr. Michelle Gerbi, Kiona Nessenbaum, and Emmy Kissinger.

Send us a textWhen Wendy Powell, founder and CEO of Mutu System, first grappled with postpartum challenges, she unknowingly began a journey to revolutionize women's health conversations globally. In our latest episode, Wendy joins us to share her insights on the often-overlooked aspects of perinatal pelvic health and its profound effect on women's lives. Together, we explore the intricacies of dealing with issues like incontinence and prolapse, which extend beyond mere physical discomfort and touch upon deeper aspects like self-esteem and social participation. Wendy's collaboration with health insurers and hygiene companies globally underscores the pressing need for a holistic healthcare approach, particularly in regions like the U.S., where women's health issues are still under-researched.Imagine feeling shame and defeat when a birth plan doesn't go as anticipated. This episode tackles the emotional complexities of childbirth, especially the concept of birth shame that plagues many women. Medical interventions, though sometimes necessary, can leave mothers feeling disempowered and disconnected. We dive into the lack of postpartum support and address how dismissive attitudes within the medical community can stall recovery. By sharing personal anecdotes and professional insights, we aim to empower women with knowledge and support, helping them regain confidence in their postpartum bodies.Bringing to light the challenges of pelvic floor health and its accessibility, we discuss the essential yet often inaccessible therapies needed for recovery. Wendy and I emphasize the importance of understanding our bodies as a cohesive unit, advocating for practical and personalized approaches to health. Through heartfelt stories and expert advice, we paint a picture of non-linear recovery journeys, highlighting how both surgical and non-surgical methods can help reclaim strength post-birth. This episode is a call to action for comprehensive care, where women's voices are heard, and their postpartum journey is fully supported.Ready to start your pelvic health journey with MUTU System?

For years we've tracked investment trends at StartUp Health and talked quarter after quarter about how women's health has been underfunded. Finally, that is changing, and more founders and more funders are actively bridging that divide, creating new, necessary solutions for women, whether in fitness, pre- and post-natal care, chronic conditions, fertility, or menopause. Our podcast guests this week are two Health Transformers who have been dedicated to FemTech before the new surge in interest in women's health innovation. First we'll talk to Wendy Powell, CEO & Founder of MUTU System, a UK-based fitness platform that helps women recover from pregnancy and regain independence and confidence – focusing on core and pelvic floor reconnection, recovery, and strengthening. Wendy's been in business for more than a decade and joined StartUp Health last year to help expand her reach. Then we'll hear from Missy Lavender, CEO & Founder of Renalis, about how she's helping women with below-the-belt conditions like overactive bladder get the care they need through an AI chatbot called CeCe. Missy's company – which joined StartUp Health in 2019 – is bringing therapy to women who have suffered in silence with pelvic health conditions. She's not just extending a lifeline to women, but to their doctors as well, who have struggled to figure out how to manage these challenging conditions. Enjoy the episode, which was recorded at the ViVE 2023 conference in Nashville, with these two founders breaking through the stigma around women's pelvic health.

“It was all music, all the time” is the way our guest this week, Wendy Powell, describes growing up in a family where her father was a musician traveling around the country playing in a variety of bands and styles. That love of all things music led to Wendy working at Tower Records in Stockton, CA. Her first meeting with her boss from the future, Stan Goman, consisted of him telling her to get her receiving department cleaned up. From there, Wendy wanted to hit the bright lights of NYC. Instead she ended up in the suburbs of Long Island at Carte Place…but eventually ended up in the Village working in Tower Records 4th & Broadway. In the Village store pop artist Keith Haring was a regular shopper and Wendy recalls an interesting interaction with him. Almost every department at Tower consisted of a band that was recording and touring and Wendy tells us about some of them. She also recalls Spike Lee filming “Mo Better Blues” with Wesley Snipes in the Jazz Department. Opportunity called back in Sacramento CA when a position as an Assistant to Stan Goman opened up. Not holding her messy Stockton receiving department against her (it probably was fine, Stan just *had* to make a point) Wendy got the job and worked 13 years for Mr. Goman. Wendy Powell credits that time with Stan and the hands on experience of working in Record Division/Retail Ops as what has carried her throughout her work career. Wendy talks about the day Stan was let go and how she came home crying as a result. But there were a lot of joyful times in Wendy Powell's story. Wendy talks about the ability to work at many Tower Records Grand Openings, especially at Lincoln Center with Elton John. Wendy got to attend Arista Records 15th Anniversary Party at Radio City and meet one of her idols and many icons in the industry. Wendy's involvement at the Tower Annual Conferences is discussed. She also tells a touching story of Russ Solomon and Stan Goman coming to her and her roommates apartment one year for Thanksgiving dinner. So whether you were on the receiving end of one of Wendy's phone calls on behalf of Stan or simply want to learn about another Tower legend's career, sit back and check out our “2500 DelMonte Street: The Oral History of Tower Records” podcast interview with Wendy Powell.

Traditionally, Christmas is a time when we think more about serving others, volunteering in the community, and giving of ourselves. After all, we’re celebrating the birth of a King who came to show us what it looks like to serve in humility, grace, and sacrifice. Yet often, we get too caught up in our own traditions, families, and celebrations to be truly willing and available to seek the lost, lonely, broken, and impoverished. So today we invited Wendy Powell (Community Outreach Pastor at Christ the King Church) to come on the podcast to talk to us about what it looks like to bust out of our self-centeredness and make giving and serving a part of our Christmas, and our everyday life.
How many times from pregnancy to parenting do you feel like you are doing it all wrong? The truth is, we need to have open and honest conversations about the changes in our bodies as a result of carrying our babies. Often after childbirth, moms are forgotten and everyone is focused on the baby. Yes, that's wonderful but we are left feeling exhausted, in pain, and reeling from the birth experience. This episode is all about our bodies as women and our health after we have our beautiful babies. My wonderful guest, Wendy Powell, the founder of the MUTU system , talks about how our bodies change and what we can do about it! Many women experience urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, painful sex, and diastasis recti which can lead to embarrassment, anxiety, shame and lack of confidence. Wendy believes every woman deserves the dignity and pleasure of a body that works and feels good. She helps women, get their power back by supporting them through this time and teaching them how to build their pelvic floor and supporting them with a community of women so no mama has to face this alone. Wendy has also launched a campaign called #ByMySide, which is all about raising awareness of the importance of birthing partners during the pandemic. The campaign encourages women to take to social media to post a picture with their birthing partner alongside a message about how important they were. About Wendy Powell MUTU System was founded by mother of two Wendy Powell, a globally recognised leading voice on equality and empowerment for women’s health, with almost two decade’s experience in personal training. As the woman behind the best-selling online programme for mothers, trusted by over 70,000 women worldwide, Wendy is loved and recommended by specialist women’s health experts, surgeons, Hollywood celebrity trainers and their clients and even Royalty. The birth of MUTU System as a company stems from the births of Wendy's own children. It was the experience of a traumatic childbirth, which almost caused Wendy to lose her life, which would go on to reshape her entire career and give her a whole new perspective on what mothers have to deal with. Feeling physically and emotionally broken, powerless, useless at performing the most basic of female human functions, Wendy was left reeling from her childbirth experience. She realised that many women feel like this, hurried by well-meaning others to ‘get over it’ or move on. Many women struggle to see their beauty, strength and power. Whether it was recent or many years ago, and however it plays out, she knew that births stay with mothers and can leave them feeling battered, broken and disconnected. It was here that MUTU System was born. A service for mothers, much like herself, who become out of touch and feel as if they lack control of their own body. She built what she had needed, but couldn’t find. The company would go on to fill this void and provide tens of thousands of women across the world with a crucial support system to reconnect with themselves, physically and mentally. Today, Wendy is shifting the conversation on women’s bodies towards equality and empowerment for health, confidence and power. She is also on the Women’s Development Board of charity Microloan Foundation UK and works with medical professionals around the world to improve education, dignity and empowerment for mothers. About MUTU System MUTU System is a digital 12-module specialist core and pelvic floor programme for all mothers, proven to improve physical symptoms including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, painful sex and diastasis recti which can lead to embarrassment, anxiety, discomfort and lack of confidence. Launched in 2009, MUTU System has a 94% success rate for clients feeling better in their bodies and the programme is backed by medical professionals.

For many women exercise forms part of their identity and hugely influences their overall wellness. The benefits of exercise for our physical and mental health are well understood and after giving birth this is often more important than ever. During pregnancy and birth women's body's are devoted to growing, nurturing and birthing their baby and to do so they undergo huge physiological and psychological changes so it is important we return to exercise in a sensible and safe way in the postpartum. Guidance seems to be very generalised and there exists a huge amount of vague and confusing information around the processes of postpartum exercise so I am thrilled to be joined on this week's episode by Wendy Powell the founder and CEO of MUTU system and a woman who is as passionate as I am about supporting women to embrace safe exercise in a way that will enhance their health and wellness.

In this week's episode, I'm chatting to Wendy Powell. I've known Wendy since I first heard her speak on stage about her ground breaking programme MUTU system, and then had to go buy it immediately. Since then, I've been using it weekly, and absolutely love it. So I had to have Wendy on the podcast to explain why she came up with it and why over 68,000 women have already been through it. I love Wendy's mission to get us all thinking of our bodies differently and particularly to stop the shame around how we see ourselves. And to give women an exercise programme that is safe and doesn't stress us out!Find out more about MUTU System here; http://happyhormonesforlife.com/mutu-system

Jamille and Jessica video interviewed Wendy Powell all the way from London to discuss MUTU System! She is the founder and CEO for an exercise women designed for women post partum, especially those who have a diastasis recti, urinary leakage, or pelvic organ prolapse.
After giving birth, many of us mothers are left with bodies we barely recognize. Bulging bellies, leaking pee when we run or jump, and back pain. This is all the cause of what's called Diastasis Recti, which refers to a separation in the abdominal muscles that doesn't always go back after giving birth. In this episode, I interview Wendy Powell, the founder of MUTUsystem.com, which is an exercise and body confidence program that helps women heal their bodies and minds after giving birth.

Wendy Powell, Dip PT is an internationally renowned and certified postpartum exercise specialist, award winning entrepreneur, and the founder and CEO of MUTU. Following a successful media and advertising career, Wendy retrained as a personal trainer in 2001, before focusing on pregnancy and postpartum exercise. After a decade of working with moms, studying with industry experts and doing extensive personal research, as well as becoming a mother herself twice over, Wendy maintained the passionate belief that there was a better way to help moms with postpartum body issues and so the MUTU System was born. Derived from ‘mummy tummy’, the MUTU System is an award-winning restorative online exercise program - a series of high quality coaching and real-time workout videos, accessed via a membership site and a follow-on app. Wendy offers expertise and guidance to moms who want to shift the ‘mummy tummy’, heal their core and pelvic floor, get strong and fit, and be truly body confident inside and out. Here’s an overview of what the kweens discuss with Wendy in this episode of the show: Wendy’s background, how she started MUTU, and how her own two birth experiences influenced the development of the program How and why women are so underserved by the fitness industry, especially during the postpartum period, and what needs to change to fix this The importance of reconnecting with your body after you give birth (and why it’s essential to do this BEFORE returning to exercise) MUTU’s mission and target audience The definition of diastasis recti and how to check yourself for it Common misconceptions about diastasis recti and why it’s not actually the problem, but rather a symptom of an underlying problem What is included in the MUTU System 12 Week Program and why it’s so much more than just an exercise program!

Regular reality's just not real enough, so this week Argue The Toss returns to the virtual, this time with a special guest! Dr. Wendy Powell, senior member of the IEEE and senior lecturer in applications of VR at the University of Portsmouth, is here to sherpa the team through realities both virtual and augmented. Where are VR and AR technologies headed? How will they affect us and the way we socialise? What exciting new things can we do with them? What's the future of VR in treating psychological conditions? What negative aspects of VR should we be worried about? And why can't Drew catch a Dratini in Pokémon Go - the indicator says he's right on top of it but it just won't appear no matter where he stands? All of these questions except one are answered herein. Special thanks to Wendy for joining us.
Core and pelvic floor health is something that is often not considered during their pregnancy; however, during the postpartum period mom’s may notice that they still look pregnant, experience a little leaking when laughing or working out, or have pain in their back or lower body. It’s really important to address these issues to feel your very best! Wendy breaks down this complex topic and provides practical tips and inspiration. This is a must listen for pregnant women and women in the postpartum. Even if you don’t think you’re dealing with core or pelvic floor issues, you’ll want to tune into to understand how you can reduce or prevent problems in the future. We know you’ll love Wendy’s positive and empowering message! Wendy’s Bio: Wendy is an expert in postpartum and postpregnancy exercise, and after working with thousands of women who suffer from Mummy Tummy (aka pregnancy belly and weak pelvic floor), she realized how misinformed most of them were, specifically when it came to exactly how their abdominal muscles change as a result of pregnancy. Which is why helping women to not only look and feel fabulous, but also to be strong, pain-free, supple and fully functional, continues to be her inspiration and motivation. Medically endorsed MuTu System is a 12-week program with a whole-body approach to alignment that can help help all moms, new and old, rebuild a foundation for a strong core with natural activation, a healthy pelvic floor, and will get them on the road to achieving their pre-baby body.

http://www.liberatedbody.com/wendy-powell-lbp002 I interview Wendy Powell of MuTu System about why spot-treating postpartum issues like diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction (or really any issue) doesn’t work, her own less than perfect birth stories, why pushing ourselves into “getting our body back” is not only the least compassionate, but also potentially the least effective route, and the magic of plain old walking.
