Episode 17 | More Than Kegels: Real Talk on Pelvic Wellness
May 01, 2025 · 73 min

Pelvic health is about so much more than just doing your Kegels—and yet, it’s one of the most misunderstood and under-discussed aspects of wellness, especially for women and birthing people. In this episode, we sit down with Ashley Waterman, RN, BSN, BSc. *Women’s Health *Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise (PCES) *Mental Health (CC-PMH) to unpack the role of the pelvic floor through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. From incontinence and prolapse to painful intimacy and core recovery, we explore what’s normal, what’s not, and how to access real support. Whether you’re preparing for birth, healing after loss, or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation is a must-listen.
