In this episode, I’m kicking off a new pregnancy pains series by talking all about sciatica. This is one of the most common complaints I see during pregnancy, and while it’s common, it is not something you just have to accept. I explain what sciatica actually is in pregnancy, why it often feels like deep hip or leg pain, and how pelvic alignment, core support, and hormonal changes all play a role.

I also walk you through practical steps you can take to feel better, including when stretching helps and when it does not, how nerve flossing and foam rolling can make a difference, and why supporting your core and pelvis is so important. If you are dealing with sciatic pain and wondering what is normal, what to try at home, and when to seek extra support, this episode will give you clarity and actionable guidance so you can enjoy your pregnancy with less pain.

In this episode, I’m joined by naturopathic doctor Dr. Saru Bala for a refreshing, no-nonsense conversation about women’s hormone health. We break down what your hormones are actually doing throughout your cycle, why so many women feel exhausted, moody, or “off,” and how stress, blood sugar, sleep, and daily habits play a much bigger role than we’re often told.

Dr. Bala shares practical, evidence-based ways to support your hormones without quick fixes or fear-based messaging, from rethinking birth control conversations to simple shifts that can help your body feel more regulated and resilient. If you’ve ever felt confused by all the hormone noise online, this episode is here to bring clarity and empowerment.

In this episode, we’re talking all about posture and why it matters so much for moms at every stage. I break down why neck, back, and shoulder pain are so common during pregnancy and motherhood, what “good posture” actually means, and why it is not about sitting perfectly straight all day. We cover how posture is dynamic, how often you should be changing positions, and simple ways to support your spine throughout the day.

You’ll also learn easy posture resets, breathing strategies, mobility work, and strength exercises that can make a real difference without adding more stress to your routine. If you spend a lot of time holding kids, feeding babies, working at a desk, or feeling stiff and achy, this episode will help you feel more aligned, comfortable, and supported in your body.
