Pelvic Floor PT: The Prevention Conversation We Never Had and What Every Woman Needs to Know Now
IN IT with Jordan Harper and Ashley BucklerShow Notes
Most of us don't think about their pelvic floor until something goes wrong. Peeing when you sneeze, pain during sex, a brutal postpartum recovery. By then, we’re already playing catch up. Dr. Lizzie Kieffer is a doctor of physical therapy who has made pelvic floor health accessible, practical, and something every woman can start working on today. In this episode, she gets into what the pelvic floor actually is and why it affects everything from incontinence to painful sex to how you breathe when you lift. She also covers why strength training is the single biggest thing you can do for long-term pelvic floor health, what diastasis recti actually is, and the everyday habits that are quietly working against you. Plus, she walks us through a breathing exercise you can do right now. It's never too late. But earlier is always better.

If you're someone who feels guilty lying on the couch while your spouse is up and moving, or who fills every spare minute so you never feel like you're wasting time, you'll recognize yourself in this conversation. Mom guilt is real, but a lot of it is a story we tell ourselves.
If you've ever wondered whether you can really have it all, or felt behind because your life isn't following someone else's timeline, this conversation is a reset. We sat down with Anne Mahlum, founder of [solidcore] and the nonprofit Back on My Feet, to talk about going all in without a plan B, knowing your number before you exit, and why your money mindset matters no matter what's in your bank account. Anne also opens up about meeting her husband at 42 and becoming a mom at 45, and why there's no such thing as early or late. However your story is unfolding, we hope this reminds you there's no wrong order to build a life you love.
