March is Endometriosis Awareness Month 💛 Endo nearly broke me. But it didn’t define me.
1 in 9 women live with endo and most suffer in silence.
My body went through surgery. My spirit scrambled boulders and climbed mountains.
For years, I was told my pain was “normal.”
It wasn’t.
Endometriosis is real.
The pain is real.
And the journey is different for everyone.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, unseen, or exhausted from fighting for answers — I see you.

Painful seggs in menopause is not something you just “have to live with.” ✨So many people are told these changes are normal and inevitable — and then quietly suffer. But with the right support, healing is possible. Pleasure is possible. Intimacy is possible.
This convo is a reminder that hormone changes don’t mean the end of your seggs life — and that pelvic floor physical therapy can be truly life-changing. 💛 You deserve answers, you deserve care, and you deserve pleasure!
Pelvic floor PT can help uncover muscle, fascia, or nerve drivers of pain that don’t show up in labs or imaging. Mild pain counts. New pain counts. Lingering pain definitely counts. You don’t have to sit with it or push through it. Help exists. ✨
In this week’s episode, I continue the conversation with Dr. Heather Jeffcoat, diving deeper into pleasure, intimacy, and healing beyond pain. We talk about expanding pleasure pathways, why pe*******on is not required for meaningful intimacy, and how pelvic floor PT can support reconnection after pain, trauma, or hormonal changes.
This is a hopeful, practical, and affirming listen - full of real tools, honest conversations, and reminders that pleasure is possible and healing is real. Listen to the full episode now! 💛🎧 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2196001/episodes/18738993

Your pelvic floor is listening to your voice.
Seriously.
In this episode of Pilates Hour, we are going break down how:
– The three diaphragms work together
– Stress shows up in pelvic health
– Vocalization changes movement quality
– Cueing can shift motor learning
If you teach Pilates, treat athletes, or work in orthopedics or pelvic health… this conversation will change how you coach and practice.

“This shouldn’t fall on one provider—and it never should have.” 🧠⚖️
In the latest podcast episode, Dr. E and I get real about the impossible expectations placed on women’s healthcare—and what actually helps patients move forward. Sometimes the most powerful thing a clinician can say is: I believe you. And then help build a team. 🤍
“We’ve learned to trust the data more than our own bodies.” 🧠📊
In this clip, Dr. E names something so many patients quietly experience: when labs are labeled “normal,” our lived experience gets pushed aside—and we start questioning ourselves instead. Feeling unwell doesn’t disappear just because a number is in range. Your symptoms matter. Your experience matters. And you deserve care that holds both science and humanity. ✨
Ever leave an appointment feeling like your body didn’t get the memo that your labs were “normal”?
In this week's episode, I’m joined by Dr. E to talk about what happens when lived experience doesn’t match test results and how to advocate for yourself without losing trust in medicine or your own intuition.
We explore medical gaslighting, why so many patients feel confused or powerless in the system, and how to stay grounded, informed, and empowered in your care. Listen now! 🎧✨ https://youtu.be/g7F7Pq2_aiY

🛑 Boundaries are healthcare. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, minimized, or unsafe in a medical or therapeutic space — this conversation is for you.
Heather Edwards and I talk about real, doable boundary statements that help keep your nervous system safe — and how to decide when advocating is worth the emotional labor… and when it’s okay to walk away. You are allowed to ask for what you need. And you are allowed to leave. ✨
✨ You are not broken. You are human. So many people carry shame, grief, and silence around sexual changes — especially when their body no longer fits the story they were taught it should follow.
In Part 2 of my conversation with Heather Edwards, we talk about something rarely named: the grief of letting go of old expectations… and the freedom that can come when we question who those expectations were really serving.
It’s okay to mourn. It’s also okay to imagine something new. 💛
