24. Why do you need to see a chiro during your pregnancy?

Today, I’m chatting with Kimmie Chernichky, chiropractor DC and specialized in pregnancy and pediatric care. We talked about why it is so important to see a prenatal chiro, how it can help you with birth outcomes but also pain and discomfort during pregnancy, and what a session looks like. Seeing a prenatal chiro is always something I advise to my client when they choose me as one of their prenatal care team members to help them stay in shape during their pregnancy, move better, and physically prepare for D-day, aka delivery day. Making sure everything stays mobile enough, and fine-tuning alignment, is of utmost importance during one’s pregnancy. For you, your own comfort, but also for baby’s development.

23. 3 Things preventing you from getting your body back after baby

In today’s episode, we will talk about the underlying causes of this stubborn mommy pouch, this unhealed abdominal separation also known as diastasis recti, this chronic back pain, this constant exhaustion, and most of all, this “I don’t feel like the woman I used to be” feeling. 
You might have even started to wonder if this is your new normal now, and you just have to stick with it, and push yourself through the exhaustion, and think about your pre-baby body as a thing of the past. 
If this is where you stand my friend, let me tell you that you deserve way more than this. You shouldn’t have to feel this way and have to deal with all these struggles, pain, and discomforts.

22. Reinventing herself through postpartum depression - with Jennifer Acker Sherman

Today I have the pleasure to interview Jennifer, military wife and mom of 3. Jennifer has gone from highs and lows throughout her motherhood journey. She definitely went through identity loss and had to find ways to get through it. She unfortunately didn’t have the means to seek help from a professional at that point in her life. She shares with us what really helped her, what systems she had in place, and her biggest aha moment when she realized she could do it, and that she had the strength to make this work. Not an easy task when you’re constantly moving throughout the country, and with young kids.
