The podcast where nervous system healing meets pelvic floor rehab. Helping you LOVE movement again and LIVE WITHOUT PAIN, PRESSURE or PEEING YOUR PANTS!

I’m Dr. Desiree Cassell — pelvic floor physical therapist, mom of 3, and your guide to embodied, empowered healing after birth. (And don’t worry, you don’t have to have birthed a child or even be a mom to benefit from this show. This is here for ALL Women, mom or not, Fit or Weak)

Here, we go way beyond kegels.

You’ll learn how to:
💫 Heal pelvic floor symptoms like leaking (incontinence), prolapse (POP), and pain (Dyspareunia, Vulvodynia etc)
💫 Rebuild core strength without making symptoms worse
💫 Move through pregnancy and postpartum with confidence and connection
💫 Use breath, fascia, and nervous system tools for real, full-body restoration
💫 Shift from surviving to thriving in your body — all during your daily routine

After healing my own prolapse, leaking, and diastasis (that no one warned me about), I made it my mission to make sure no woman is brushed off or left behind again.

Because these symptoms might be common — but they are NOT normal.

🎧 Subscribe for real-talk, expert support, and soul-led strategies to feel strong, safe, and free in your body again.

It is time to get you out of those pads and back to loving movement again.... yes even jumping on the trampoline.

Put your earbuds in, grab a glass of water, roll out your mat, and let’s connect💫

  • 210- Your Doctor Said You Need to Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor…But Do You?

    210- Your Doctor Said You Need to Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor…But Do You?
    2026/09/23
    “You just need to strengthen your pelvic floor.” Maybe you've heard this from a doctor, a friend, a trainer—or good ol' Google. 😂 You're leaking? Do Kegels. Feeling pressure? Strengthen your pelvic floor. Had a baby? Your pelvic floor must be weak. But is “weak pelvic floor” really the whole story? In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, we're challenging the assumption that having a pelvic floor symptom automatically means you need to strengthen your pelvic floor. Because strength absolutely matters—but it's only one part of how a healthy pelvic floor functions. Your pelvic floor also needs to contract, relax, lengthen, coordinate with the rest of your body, and respond appropriately to what you're asking it to do. So before you add another 50 Kegels to your day, let's ask a better question: What does your pelvic floor actually need? In This Episode We Explore Why “weak pelvic floor” can be an incomplete explanation Why having a pelvic floor symptom doesn't automatically tell us what your muscles need The difference between pelvic floor strength and pelvic floor function Why your pelvic floor needs to be able to contract AND relax How doing more isn't always the answer when your body is already working really hard Why leaking, pressure, heaviness, or other symptoms may deserve a closer look before assuming weakness How your pelvic floor works with your breath, core, movement, and the rest of your body Why two women with the same symptom may need completely different approaches The problem with jumping straight from symptom → weak → strengthen A better question to ask when you've been told you need to strengthen your pelvic floor Why This Matters I am NOT telling you that pelvic floor strengthening is bad. Sometimes strength is exactly what we need to work on. What I want to challenge is the assumption that strength is always the answer. Think about everything your pelvic floor has to do throughout your day. It responds when you breathe. When you cough. When you lift. When you run. When you go to the bathroom. When you have sex. When you pick up your kid. When you exercise. Your pelvic floor isn't an isolated muscle sitting at the bottom of your pelvis waiting for you to remember your Kegels. 😂 It's part of a much bigger system. So if you're experiencing symptoms, I don't just want to know: “Is your pelvic floor strong?” I want to know: “What does your pelvic floor need to be able to do better?” The Big Takeaway If you've been told you have a “weak pelvic floor,” you don't need to panic—or immediately throw away your Kegels. 😂 Get curious. What symptom are you actually trying to change? When does it happen? Can you contract your pelvic floor? Can you relax it? What happens during movement? Does more strengthening actually change the symptom? Have you had an individualized assessment to understand what's happening in YOUR body? Because: Strength is one quality of a well-functioning pelvic floor. It isn't the whole definition. And sometimes a much better question than: “How do I make my pelvic floor stronger?” is: “What does my pelvic floor actually need?” 🌿 Ready to Understand the Bigger Picture? If you're listening to this thinking: “Okay, Dr. Des…if pelvic floor healing isn't JUST about strength, what else am I supposed to be looking at?” GOOD. 👀 That's exactly the question I want you asking. And it's exactly why I created Healing Beyond Kegels, my FREE pelvic floor masterclass coming this October. We've reduced pelvic floor healing to strengthening for far too long. Inside Healing Beyond Kegels, I'm going to help you zoom out and start understanding how your pelvic floor, core, breath, pressure, and movement work together—so you can stop guessing about what your body needs. Because sometimes we need to understand before we strengthen. Make sure you're connected with me so you'll be one of the first to know when Healing Beyond Kegels is ready. 💛 Connection First. Intention Over Perfection. This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for individualized medical care. Pelvic floor symptoms can have multiple causes, and new, persistent, worsening, or concerning symptoms should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare provider. Want More Support? Inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App and RESTORE, we focus on helping women build strength, coordination, stability, and confidence in their bodies through a whole-body approach to pelvic floor and core health. ✨ Learn more here: https://balancedmomtality.com/the-app Want a Guided Healing and Rehab Program to Help You Reconnect and RESTORE?

  • 209- 5 Things Your Body Is Trying to Tell You (And How to Start Listening)

    209- 5 Things Your Body Is Trying to Tell You (And How to Start Listening)
    2026/09/18
    “Listen to your body.” Okay…sounds great. But what the heck are you actually supposed to be listening FOR? 😂 We hear phrases like “listen to your body,” “connect with your core,” and “pay attention to your symptoms” all the time—but if no one has ever taught you how to do that, those words aren't very helpful. In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, we're making it practical. I'm walking you through five things you can start paying attention to—your breath, symptoms, tension, movement, and recovery—to better understand what your body may be communicating. And no, this isn't about analyzing every little sensation or trying to immediately FIX everything you notice. It's about getting curious. Because when we stop treating every symptom like an isolated problem and start looking at the bigger picture, our bodies can begin to make a whole lot more sense. In This Episode We Explore What “listening to your body” actually means Why noticing should often come before correcting What your breathing patterns can tell you How to get curious about symptoms instead of immediately labeling them as “bad” Why tension isn't automatically a problem The difference between finding the “perfect” movement and giving your body more movement options Why what happens AFTER exercise or activity matters too How your breath, symptoms, tension, movement, and recovery can influence one another Why pelvic floor health is about so much more than Kegels A simple way to start understanding your body without becoming overwhelmed Why This Matters Most of us have gotten really good at trying to fix our bodies. Something hurts? Make it stop. You leak? Strengthen your pelvic floor. Your posture doesn't look right? Correct it. An exercise feels weird? Find a different one. But when we're constantly trying to change the signal before we understand it, we may miss valuable information. Your body isn't a collection of completely separate parts. Your breathing, movement, tension, symptoms, recovery, pelvic floor, and core are all part of a much bigger conversation. Understanding those connections doesn't mean you have to know exactly what every sensation means. It means you can start asking better questions. The Big Takeaway This week, don't try to pay attention to EVERYTHING. Choose one thing. Maybe you notice what happens to your breath when you lift something heavy. Maybe you catch yourself gripping your belly while you're working. Maybe you start noticing exactly when your bladder urgency appears. Maybe you pay attention to how your body feels the day after a workout. Then: Notice → Get Curious → Gather Information. You don't even have to change it yet. Because sometimes the first step toward changing what your body is doing is simply understanding what it's already trying to tell you. Understanding comes before changing. 🌿 Ready to Understand the Bigger Picture? This is exactly why I created Healing Beyond Kegels, my FREE pelvic floor masterclass coming this October. Pelvic floor healing has been reduced to “just do your Kegels” for far too long. Inside Healing Beyond Kegels, we'll zoom out and look at how your pelvic floor, core, breath, pressure, and movement work together—so you can stop guessing about what your body needs and start understanding the bigger picture. My goal? For you to walk away thinking: “OH. My body finally makes more sense.” Keep following along and make sure you're on my email list so you'll be one of the first to know when Healing Beyond Kegels is ready. 💛 However, you can download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App NOW so you are already inside when it comes out!

  • 208- Connected Through Menopause Ep 2: Why Am I Suddenly Leaking? // Understanding Bladder Changes During Menopause

    208- Connected Through Menopause Ep 2: Why Am I Suddenly Leaking? // Understanding Bladder Changes During Menopause
    2026/09/14
    You used to be able to jump, sneeze, run, or make it home from Target without thinking twice about your bladder… And now? You’re leaking. You’re peeing “just in case.” You know exactly where every bathroom is. Or the second you pull into your driveway your bladder suddenly decides THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. 😂 What the heck changed?! In Part 2 of the Connected Through Menopause series, we’re talking specifically about the bladder changes that can show up—or become more noticeable—during perimenopause and menopause. And while hormonal changes can absolutely be part of the conversation, they aren’t necessarily the whole story. We’re talking about different types of bladder symptoms, some of the habits we develop in response to those symptoms, and why blindly adding more Kegels isn't always the answer. Most importantly, I want you to walk away knowing that while bladder changes may be common during this season of life, common does not mean you simply have to accept them. In This Episode We Explore Why bladder symptoms may appear or change during perimenopause and menopause Why leaking isn't the only bladder symptom worth paying attention to The difference between leaking with coughing, sneezing, jumping or exercise and that sudden “I HAVE TO GO” urgency How hormonal and tissue changes can play a role in urinary symptoms Why menopause isn't necessarily the entire explanation How habits like peeing “just in case,” restricting fluids, constantly bracing, or avoiding movement can become part of the bigger picture Why the same symptom doesn't always mean the same solution Why “just do Kegels” may be missing important information What your bladder patterns may be telling you How to start getting curious about your symptoms instead of assuming they're just part of getting older Why This Matters One of the biggest things I want women to stop believing is: “Well, I guess this is just what happens when you get older.” Yes, your body changes during perimenopause and menopause. And yes, those changes can affect your bladder, pelvic floor, vaginal and urinary tissues, strength, and the way your body responds to movement. But experiencing a common symptom doesn't mean you have to ignore it. It also doesn't mean every woman experiencing leaking or urgency needs the exact same solution. If two women are both leaking, but their bodies, symptoms, habits, movement patterns, and circumstances are different… Why would we automatically give them the same exercise? Understanding what's actually happening gives us much better information about what your body may need. The Big Takeaway Instead of immediately trying to fix your bladder this week, become a bladder detective. 🕵️‍♀️ Start noticing: When does urgency show up? When do you leak? Does it happen with coughing, sneezing, lifting, jumping or running? Are you going to the bathroom because you actually need to—or because you happen to see one? 😂 Are you constantly peeing “just in case”? Are you holding your breath or gripping during the movements that trigger symptoms? Have your symptoms recently changed? You don't need to obsess over every trip to the bathroom. We're simply looking for patterns. Because your symptoms are information. And once we understand the information, we can make more intentional decisions about what to do with it. Understand before you strengthen. 🌿 Ready to Understand the Bigger Picture? If you're listening to this thinking: “Okay…but how do I know what's actually happening in MY body?” That's exactly why I created Healing Beyond Kegels. Healing Beyond Kegels is my FREE pelvic floor masterclass designed to help you stop guessing, Googling random exercises, and wondering whether you're doing everything right—and start understanding the bigger picture of how your pelvic floor, core, breath, movement, and body work together. Because your pelvic floor isn't working alone. And healing is about so much more than finding the “perfect” Kegel. 🌿 Healing Beyond Kegels is coming soon. Make sure you're connected with me so you'll be one of the first to know when it's ready. Until next time, remember: Connection First. Intention Over Perfection. 💛 This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for individualized medical care.
