AMY LEEDHAM- Running after a Complicated Postpartum08 Nov 202401:07:51

Send us a text

What if your postpartum wasn't the picture of straight-forward perfection?

Today, we welcome back Amy Leedham, aka @amy_the_punisher former pro trail runner, a sustainability consultant, who recently welcomed her 2nd child! 

Amy joined us in Season 1 to talk about “The Postpartum Experience No One Wants to Read About but Should,” a piece she wrote in 2021 after the birth of her 1st child, highlighting the physical complications she faced attempting to return to trail running & activity.

We chat about the real challenges of pregnancy & postpartum recovery.

For over 5 years, Amy’s journey with two pregnancies & her return to running has been filled with ups, downs, & unexpected lessons. 

Her story shows a very different side of postpartum recovery, far from the idealized images we often see.

We cover:
🔹Doing everything "right" yet still facing complications
🔹Recovering from post-birth injuries
🔹Building a supportive postpartum team
🔹Adding strength training to recovery
🔹Navigating shifts in identity as a mom
🔹Prioritizing rest & recovery
🔹Finding time for yourself
🔹Using vaginal estradiol while breastfeeding
🔹Balancing childcare and active time with kids

Amy’s story is a must-hear for anyone navigating their own postpartum journey & looking for encouragement & real, practical insights.

DR. JOCELYN FITZGERALD (REVISITED): Prolapse, Hormones & Urogynecology 16 Dec 202200:38:28

Send us a text

Today I speak with Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald, Assistant Professor Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery, University of Pittsburgh. Recently, she had a tweet go viral talking about what a terrible job we do about educating women about their bodies and we unpack that in our conversation. We have a candid conversation about prolapse and why so many professionals think women shouldn’t be education about the possibilities BEFORE they are pregnant. Jocelyn talks about how patients can find the right type of provider to care for the symptoms they are experiencing. So much has changed over the years with how women get care for prolapse. We talk about those changes and current options that exist.  


Jocelyn is committed to equity in women's health and supports the Magee Women’s Research Institute. If you’d like to donate to women's health and know that the funds are going directly into the hands of real scientists on a singular mission of bringing women's health to where men's health has been for 100 years, the Magee Women's Research Institute is doing just that. 


We talk about:

-educating women about their bodies

-stages of pelvic floor prolapse

-the role age plays in experiencing prolapse

-the brain’s interpretation of pain and sensation

-when pessaries can help 

-tailoring care for each patient

-outreach

RICH WILLY (REVISITED): Busting Running Myths with Rich Willy, PT, PhD09 Dec 202200:49:11

Send us a text

Want the DL on running research?

Even when working with postpartum women, it's important to stay up to date on just plain, basic running research...& @montanarunninglab is one of my fave resources to stay up to date!

I invited Rich on to tackle some of the most common running myths I see in clinic, & unfortunately they're perpetuated by providers who aren't staying up with the evidence!

Let's be honest- lots of what we do as runners is based on what we hear & what our old high school XC running coach told us (fortunately I had a good one!!!!) Time to get up to date!

Dr. Rich Willy, has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers on two populations: endurance runners and tactical athletes & is an Associate Professor in the School of Physical Therapy, University of Montana (Missoula, MT, USA) & the Director of the Montana Running Lab. Dr. Willy has been a clinician for over 20 years specializing in the treatment of the injured runner. 

Rich is a clinician-researcher-educator and uses his experience in all three rolls to further the mission of the Montana Running Lab: "Improving runner health via evidence based knowledge translation.” The labs utilizes Instagram to provide evidence-based materials that are equally helpful to clinicians as well as to runners of all levels. 

Time to bust some myths!  MY FAVE!

We talk about: 
🔹to stretch or not to stretch
🔹do we all really have weak glutes?
🔹don’t neglect the plantar flexors
🔹benefits of strength training
🔹reoccurrence of old injuries
🔹rethinking old ideas
🔹common clinician mistakes
🔹is there a “wrong” running form

SARA TANZA (REVISITED): Postpartum Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy02 Dec 202200:48:43

Send us a text

As we end Season 1 of the podcast and head into the holiday season, I’d like to share the 5 most downloaded episodes of the podcast! 

Here's #5, one of MY fave conversations this year that literally reminded me WHY I do what I do...

I have a professional crush & I'm not afraid to admit it.

I didn't realize how awesome it is to talk with another professional who independently comes to similar thoughts, ideas & inspirations until this recording with @pelvicpotential Dr. Sara Tanza.   

Sara thinks differently & her pathway to working with runners in pelvic health was a winding road that helped shape why she thinks the way she does...& you won't expect it!

From suffering a running injury while competing on the Triathlon Team at University of California, Santa Barbara, to a neurorehabilitation residency to her own experiences as a mother runner & working with moms returning to sport, Sara's journey is like no other.

Dr. Sara & I share the sentiment that the best approach to pelvic health is wholistic. It requires a mash-up from everything we know as providers, from neurology & orthopedics to sports & pelvic health  as well as strength & conditioning.  We must think outside the box & thrive at critical thinking so our clients have the best chance of returning to the sports they love.  To fail to do so is no doing our job.  

Sometimes that's as basic as helping moms embrace the simple things...including the 2 mile run.  Sara truly is a kindred spirit in maternal advocacy!

We have AN EPIC conversation from all things #momlife to our clinical thoughts & theories.  This is a MUST listen if your a PRO or a mom!

We talk about: 
🔹the collision of pelvic floor health & sport
🔹expectations in childbirth can be a set up
🔹later onset postpartum symptoms
🔹pelvic floor warning lights
🔹dispelling shame around the pelvic floor
🔹changing the game in postpartum care

JAMES CLEAR: Atomic Habits for Parents (Season 1 Finale)25 Nov 202200:46:07

Send us a text

Let's be honest, becoming a mom can throw your life-long habits in the trash, chew it up & spit it out...

I invited @jamesclear, habit expert &  author of the New York Times bestseller, Atomic Habits (currently #1) to help us dive into using habits as parents & moms. The book has sold over 8 million copies worldwide & has been translated into more than 50 languages.

I initially wanted to read the book with entrepreneurship in mind, & quickly realized that the guidance he wrote about surrounding habits was secretly speaking to every mom trying to find their identity as parents who want to take care of themselves physically, be there for their new family but get back to those things that made them feel like themselves.

Now a parent of 2 kids under 2,  James shares how to make the small changes that will transform your habits & deliver remarkable results.  

I use the concepts in Atomic Habits on a daily basis with my clients!

James & I discuss the special challenges parents face building habits when there is no such thing as atypical day in parenthood. James shares ways to avoid common pitfalls people face when they are trying to establish a new habit, & so much more! 

I am SO EXCITED for you to hear this interview, our podcast season finale!

We talk about: 
🔹4 laws of building habits (these are clutch!)
🔹setting up your physical space to outsmart yourself
🔹embracing the season you’re in  
🔹casting a vote for the type of person you are 
🔹buying all the things for the thing v. doing the thing
🔹the 2 minute rule v. the perfect thing
🔹making the habit before you can build it
🔹finding balance in manageable bites (aka #momlife)

SURABHI VEITCH: Postpartum Representation11 Nov 202200:40:25

Send us a text

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. As a cyclist, skier, dancer and climber, she loves helping moms get back to feeling active, strong, confident and secure in their bodies. She offers her signature small-group Postpartum Return to Exercise Program (PREP), and her BASE Fitness Membership to help busy moms gain strength and mobility with quick & effective home workouts. She also offers 1:1 online Physiotherapy and Fitness Coaching to help people navigate symptoms like leaks, prolapse and aches. 


Surabhi tells us of how she switched from orthopedics into pelvic health after the experience she had after her daughter was born. She wanted to help other moms avoid the loss of identity as an athlete she experienced and to get back to their sports in the 4th trimester. 


 Surabhi and I get into the nitty gritty of motherhood and what she is doing to change the conversation on self-care. I can’t wait for you to hear this episode!



We talk about:

-Surabhi’s journey with prolapse and diastasis

-bounceback culture and all-or-nothing mindset

-focus on functional, achievable & realistic fitness for new moms

-specific struggles of the recreational athlete

-getting support early

-getting to know moms to really help them

-working as woman of color as a physio 

-the self-care revolution

Today I speak with Margie Davenport, an Associate Professor, Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation in the University of Alberta. She also currently holds the Christenson Professorship in Active Healthy Living (2020-2025). As a former national team athlete, her recent work has examined elite sport participation during pregnancy, and return to sport following delivery. This line of research aims to develop more inclusive guidelines and policies for elite pregnant/postpartum athletes.


Her principal research interest is the investigation of maternal-fetal health outcomes, and an exploration of the preventative role of exercise and/or lifestyle interventions in the development of chronic disease.  She led the development of the SOGC/CSEP 2019 Canadian Guideline for Physical Activity throughout Pregnancy, and the upcoming Canadian Guideline for Postpartum Activity. 


Margie gives us valuable insight into the most up to date research and where it’s pointing for the future!


We talk about:

ALEXIS MORGAN & CHRISTINA PREVETT: Lifting & Pelvic Floor28 Oct 202200:43:52

Send us a text

Do you even lift?

Yeah, & I can help you too!

I had the pleasure of catching up with the dynamic duo of PT's @alexismorganpt & @christina_prevett

Both are physios who work with postpartum women & female athletes. Both women are barbell athletes themselves. Christina helps female athletes maximize fitness potential with online programming for pregnant & postpartum CrossFitters & weightlifters via @thebarbellmamas & Alexis practices within @onwardtnpt

These postpartum education rockstars also teach other rehab pros to do the same via @icephysio courses. Christina & Alexis are leading the charge to teach and inform moms & pros alike, that women can come back to the barbell postpartum & be even stronger! 

We talk about using the research to inform our practice instead of letting the research limit what we do, and why the line is so fine. 

We dispel common myths and set the record straight on the what is really possible for female athletes postpartum!

We talk about: 
🔹the reward of working with female athletes
🔹to Valsalva or not during pregnancy and postpartum
🔹what "the research says" really means
🔹how to integrate pelvic health with other modalities
🔹“momming” requires fitness
🔹bracing & weightlifting belts

Today I speak with Dr. Ciera Kirkpatrick. She is an assistant professor of advertising and public relations at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's College of Journalism and Mass Communications. Ciera studies how messages in the media — like social media, advertising, and news coverage — influence individuals’ health by affecting their health-related knowledge, attitudes, and behavior intentions. After becoming a mom in 2020, Ciera became especially interested in the media's effects on new mothers. She noticed that social media was influencing her postpartum experience and her expectations of motherhood. Combining her personal experience with her expertise in media effects, Ciera began studying how social media comparisons to motherhood portrayals can be harmful to the mental health of new moms. Ciera lives in Nebraska with her husband, son, and a daughter on the way!

MARIA ALCOKE: Navigating Modern Day Motherhood & Being Consistent AF with Coach & Mom30 Sep 202200:35:47

Send us a text

Today I speak with Maria Alcoke, a Mom, a creative, a business owner, and  former CrossFit L1 trainer and pre and postnatal coach. Inspired by the pregnant and postpartum athletes she coached and inspired by her own experience as a pregnant and postpartum athlete, Maria ran her own postpartum return-to-fitness program out of CrossFit Cove in Columbia, Maryland.


Fitness has always been a passion of hers, she loves people and learned through coaching and business how much she love working with women specifically. She was motivated to become a resource and support for women navigating pregnancy and the postpartum period once she became a Mom herself. She found motherhood to be overwhelming in so many ways and craved connection with other women with similar experiences. She realized the lack of resources in the women's health space - not only for athletes or women who wanted to return to fitness, but also in the mental health space. She knew I wanted to advocate, inspire and be a part of the shift in the space.

We talk about:

-returning to fitness after the first kid

-finding a passion for coaching

-fears of laboring with a second birth

-fear mongering in return to exercise

-caring for yourself after c-section

-not being able to control everything 

-the importance of seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist

-trusting your intuition

DR. MARCY @thedowntheredoc: Getting Help "Down There"23 Sep 202200:46:30

Send us a text

Today I speak with Dr. Marcy Crouch, founder of The Down There Doc and DT Method (@thedowntheredoc). Marcy is a Mama and Doctor dedicated to universally serving, empowering and equipping women and the birthing community with confidence building tips, along with valuable information & knowledge to support birth preparation and postpartum recovery. Through the DT Method’s online content, educational courses, advocacy and clear, candid information, Dr. Marcy, and her team of expert physical therapists, are dedicated to creating better care for women everywhere. Her vision is to set a new standard of physical health and wellbeing for birth preparation and postpartum recovery for the birthing community so women thrive physically throughout their lives.


As an IVF Mama and a WCS, her journey through TTC, pregnancy, and transition into motherhood was not what she expected.  Even with her background and education, she was thrown for a loop with the symptoms and feelings she had while giving birth and postpartum.  She was inspired/determined to help other Mamas prep for and recover from birth so that no one else would be blind-sighted by the process.  Women deserve better.  Being a mom and CEO of her own company is exhausting, but she works every day to improve women's access to basic education about their bodies.


We talk about:

-why she chose pelvic health

-dealing with unexpected issues in postpartum

-making educated choices

-being prepared for the possible interventions

-providing early education

-the impact of social media and sharing experiences

-expanding different kinds of access

Today I speak with Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald, Assistant Professor Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery, University of Pittsburgh.

We have a candid conversation about prolapse and why so many professionals think women shouldn’t be education about the possibilities BEFORE they are pregnant.

Today I speak with Dr. Rachel Rubin,  a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist.

ALEXIA B.: Finding Your Postpartum Support Team with World Traveler & Crossfit Supermom17 Jun 202200:34:19

Send us a text

Today I speak with Alexia B., a proud member of the "you're never too old to try something new" club and professional dabbler in sports having picked up competitive swimming in college, rock climbing in her late 20s, and Crossfit in her 30s. As a career US Foreign Service Officer, her job has allowed her to be in the sport of fitness worldwide and show her two adorable children just what it means to prioritize your health and well-being. 


She grew up playing sports but never really being “fit". It wasn't until her husband introduced her to Crossfit that she found passion for the pursuit of health. Since then, she has had two babies. We talk about maintaining fitness during pregnancy and her struggles coming back postpartum. Even while seriously pursuing competitive fitness, she dealt with common pelvic floor issues but because they were common she didn't think much of it other than it just being a part of life. She finds that the pursuit of fitness/health is what keeps her grounded. It makes her a better wife/mom/employee because it is what brings her joy outside of those roles.


I think many of us can relate to the issues Alexia experienced surrounding  her fitness and postpartum. You don’t want to miss this interview!


We talk about:

-tips for finding community even when traveling

-working for the State Department and world travels

-the importance of trying new things

-experiences with postpartum CrossFit

-learning how to make the mind-body connections

-normal doesn’t mean acceptable

-tips for finding resources

-building in self-care time

Has prolapse changed your life?

Today I speak with Kimberley Johnson @wildmatrescence, a PhD student in clinical psychology who specializes in perinatal, pelvic, & maternal health. 

A former professional cyclist, Kimberley has dealt with her fair share of injuries. 

Navigating pelvic organ prolapse after the birth of her first child, Kimberley was forced to take what she knew as an athlete and a PhD student of psychology & try to navigate her way back to being active again.

Kimberley's unique view as a mom, patient & soon-to-be psychologist has changed the focus of her work professionally, & led to shedding light on women attempting to recover from POP as well as the psychological impact of how they're treated in today's medical environment.

Kimberley shares why her research is important and what is lacking in what postpartum women need.

We recorded this episode in 2021 prior to publication of her article in the April/June 2022 @jwhpt "The Importance of Information:  Prenatal Education Surrounding Birth-Related Pelvic Floor Trauma Mitigates Symptom-Related Distress" & prior to her current pregnancy.

We talk about: 
🔹dealing with injury as a former Pro cyclist
🔹accepting uncertainties of recoveries with lack of sound information
🔹stigma with pelvic floor injuries
🔹birth-related trauma and injury
🔹discrepancy between expectation and reality
