ask my pelvic floor PT!⁣ ⁣ y’all, i was a HU ask my pelvic floor PT!⁣ ⁣ y’all, i was a HUGE skeptic of pelvic floor work. i had heard of it and some people told me to see a PT when i was having pregnancy pains but i just wasn’t convinced. enter my prolapse.⁣ ⁣ my prolapse diagnosis this year has brought a lot of gifts. and one is my PT - Jenn @vividwomenshealth. she is so brilliant and such a kind human. you can tell she truly loves the work she does and it stems from her own postpartum journeys, so she knows exactly what we mamas are going through. ⁣ ⁣ i have learned so much about the pelvic floor and a woman’s anatomy from her. i had no idea you could have knots + muscle spasms in there! it’s crazy how it can affect your hip, knee, ankle - everything!⁣ ⁣ and now i am a true believer that pelvic floor work is essential during pregnancy and postpartum. i just think of the trauma it goes through carrying and delivering a baby. if you tore your ACL, you would have physical therapy, no question. this is no different.⁣ ⁣ so i cannot wait to share her wisdom with you on Thursday at 2pm EST! what questions do you have for her? she is also able to offer virtual consults!! go give her + her blog some love.
i am not inherently a positive person.⁣ ⁣ i ha i am not inherently a positive person.⁣ ⁣ i have struggled with depression for a long time. i can remember back in middle school wondering why i wasn’t happy when i had a great life. i felt so guilty for feeling the way i did when there was, seemingly, no reason at all for me to feel that way. it wasn’t until i was 17 that i was officially diagnosed and started meds (they were a Godsend).⁣ ⁣ when i’m in a state of depression, i have so many negative thoughts in my head. and for awhile, negativity became my automatic response to things. i had to realllly work to find a silver lining, to not snap back at someone who was rude to me, to just ‘bless + release’ mean people on the internet (that can still be a work in progress!).⁣ ⁣ it has taken WORK. and work that i resisted for a really long time. and even now, if i’m feeling down, it can feel super effortful to do the work to get myself back to a happier place.⁣ ⁣ but let me tell you - it is so freeing + peaceful to react and respond positively. to find the beauty when things don’t go as planned. to trust that the Universe is always guiding me towards my highest good.⁣ ⁣ trust me, i get that when you’re down, it can be really hard to help yourself even though you know it’s good for you. but i promise, it’s worth it.⁣ ⁣ some of my fav resources:⁣ ⭐️ the life coach school podcast⁣ ⭐️ any book by Gabrielle Bernstein - get them on audible and listen your way back to feeling good! my fav is The Universe has Your Back⁣ ⭐️ EFT (tapping) videos by Brad Yates (youtube)⁣ ⭐️ just putting on ocean sounds and listen to the waves⁣ ⁣ what are some of your fav resources to help you feel better quickly? 💗
trunk date.⁣ ⁣ “see if your parents can watc trunk date.⁣ ⁣ “see if your parents can watch the kids. i’m taking you on a date.”⁣ ⁣ a text i got earlier form jordana. ⁣ ⁣ we hadn’t been on a date since before josie was born - and actually - since before quarantine. and it was soooooo needed.⁣ ⁣ there have been so many beautiful gifts of quarantine - and / but - it is HARD with a 3.5 year old and an infant and no activities, camp / school or play dates for 4.5 months (we literally had our first play date a week ago with our good friends who also had a baby and don’t see other people). ⁣ ⁣ so we got takeout from one of our fav restaurants, drove to the park and popped the trunk in a big open field. we listened to Joshua Radin and talked about how this was the perfect reset. ⁣ ⁣ dating while having kids can be difficult. often, we put our relationship last bc we have two kids home 24/7 and we’re running our businesses and doing the laundry and the dishes and all the things. but we’ve quickly realized that we need to make each other a priority. it’s the best thing for us and for our kids!⁣ ⁣ what fun + creative dates have y’all done during quarantine??
