In this episode, I’m chatting with mom coach Cassie Gudmundson about something so many moms experience but don’t always know how to handle: feeling overstimulated, reactive, and like you’re about to lose your cool. Cassie explains what somatic work actually means, what’s happening in our bodies when we become overwhelmed, and why regulating your nervous system isn’t about being calm all the time or stuffing down your emotions.

We talk about the physical signs that can show up before you yell or shut down, why things like whining, crying, and constant touching can feel so triggering, and how to use simple body-based movements to help you regulate in the moment. Cassie also shares why practicing these tools when you’re calm can help build your capacity over time, plus what healthy repair can look like when you do lose your cool with your kids. If you’ve ever thought, “I know what I should do, but I just can’t seem to stop myself in the moment,” this episode is for you.

Pelvic Floor Plan

In this episode, I’m breaking down some of the questions I get asked all the time about creatine, peptides, and other supplements during pregnancy. There’s so much information out there, and the research around many of these products during pregnancy is limited, so I’m walking through what we do know, what we don’t know, and what I personally considered during my own pregnancies.

I talk about creatine, natural food-derived and injectable peptides, and what to look for in a prenatal vitamin. I also share why iron levels are worth paying attention to, especially if you’re experiencing extreme fatigue, and the questions I think you should ask before adding any supplement during pregnancy. Most importantly, I want you to feel informed enough to have a conversation with your doctor or midwife and make the decision that’s right for you.

Pelvic Floor Plan

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to physically prepare your body for labor and birth. We spend so much time getting ready for the baby, but birth is a huge physical event, and there are things you can do to help your body feel more prepared for the demands of labor, whatever your birth experience ends up looking like.

I talk about maintaining strength and endurance, building hip mobility in the final weeks of pregnancy, practicing 360 breathing and pelvic floor relaxation, and trying different labor positions before you’re in the moment. I also cover perineal massage, how to involve your partner or doula in your birth prep, and why preparation can help you feel more confident without guaranteeing a particular outcome.
